I have done pretty well on potatoes, and I had some sweet potato baby food the other night and did well. Last night I was craving meat, so I bought a small steak and a sweet potato. I have never been so sick in my life. I was up all night, and my stomach still hurts. I put a little butter on the potato and salt on the steak. (butter hasn't bothered me) Maybe I overate? At first I did okay, and then I had D. After that the cramping started. Usually the cramps last 4-6 hours. I have had it now for 10-12 hours? I know it wasn't cc. I am bloated like no ones business. Help. I don't know what happened. I have been so careful.(wait I did put a little cinnamon on the potato, but gluten was not listed on the bottle) I'm miserable.

How did you cook the steak, and was it preseasoned? I also find steak very hard to digest, my whole family does. Next time just make a turkey cutlet or something lol. Of course, i actually tested allergic to beef . . .

I have that gluten has a very large voice and once you eliminate it from your diet, you can hear some of the smaller unhappy voices.

Was the butter you used shared to spread on a piece of gluten bread? The cooking process has already been mentioned. Dairy can be hard to deal with when beginning the diet. Steak is very hard to digest. Perhaps a chicken or turkey may be easier for you. And last, but not least, all roads don't lead to gluten. Maybe it's *just* a bug you have come into contact with. Sometimes, it's just impossible to know what is making us feel bad.

A food diary can help pinpoint issues. Hope you feel better soon.

I cooked the steak on a grill (new) the butter is mine, so it hadn't touched anything. It wasn't preseasoned. I am feeling 100 times better right now. I am grateful for that. Now I can go about my day. Its 12:35pm, and I have done nothing today (or yesterday, or the day before) lol I started to keep a food diary, and I guess I will again. It may have been the beef, and not gluten. Could that be why my stomach hurt for so long? I think it was mostly gas, and not cramping. Thank you all for the help. I will stick with the chicken. :)

Hi,

I stopped beef and other meats and poultry a year ago because I would wheeze after eating them (whenever I am glutened I have asthma). I concluded that maybe these animal products are "grain-fed" since I have heard that term "grain-fed beef" before in advertisements. Because I am intolerant of all grains, all milk & dairy, egg whites and yeast, I eat vegan, which is fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds (including soy, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.). I never eat fruits with vegetables, beans, soy, corn or potatoes, because it takes different enzymes to digest fruits than it does vegetables. Please email me at welda@att.net if you'd like. I've had Celiac symptoms since age 8 and am now 63. Welda

What brand of spice was this? McCormack spices are a brand that you can trust. In their spices that are single ingredient there is no gluten risk. Not all spice brands are safe.

Beef can be really hard to digest as many have mentioned. You also may not be doing well with dairy right now, many of us react to it until healed.

If you can find it locally buckwheat cereal, (just like cream of wheat but no gluten), is easy to digest and a good source of nonmeat protein. I find it really soothing after a glutening especially with a good dose of gluten-free cinnamon and a bit of raw organic sugar or honey.

Getting violently sick from eating steak was one of the major reasons i ever had a colonoscopy done and would have never found the celiac without it. I haven't been gluten free for long but I'm curious to see if my steak issues go away after my new diet changes. I'm thinking steak is hard to digest and maybe it just irritates an already irritated colon?

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
