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 am allergic to beef - gives me the big tummy ache - I do not eat beef.

Try boiled shrimp, baked chicken, baked salmon... I can also eat pork & turkey

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. :)

Was it a charcoal grill? Some charcola contains gluten.

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?

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
