Which Food To Blame

i have been gluten free for awhile now. pretty positive ive been really good for the last 2-3 months or so. but symptoms are still there. ive cut corn, soy, dairy, almonds, and anything artificial out and still got all the same stomach reactions. im wondering now if it could be a possible nightshade intolerence or possibly peanuts. which both would suck since im trying to gain weight. or could it be from cc because i live in a household where everyone eats gluten. i got my own cooking stuff. i keep everything separate, wash my own dishes, and run my hands under water as much as possible when going thru the kitchen. so i just dont see where its coming from. any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I had to eliminate sugar. Also, do you you the same sponge as everyone else to wash your dishes?

Are you keeping a food diary? If not, write down everything you are eating and how you feel afterwords (next day for me) and after a few weeks you will start to see patterns. This helped me discover my other intolerances. Cross contamination is also a possibility when you share the kitchen with gluten eaters (I do as well). Everyone tries very hard to not gluten me but we are a shared facility so I have to be extra careful. I am not one of those who won't allow gluten (if I weren't the only one then that would be different) but they have their own cupboard for gluten and I have my own counter space etc. I agree to use your own sponge especially if all dishes are done by hand. Good luck and hope you find your answers soon!

What kind of stomach ache is it? I finally figured out that coconut oil gives me a stomach ache, though a weird one. I was loving it! Sugars can give me stomach aches.

I've determined that I have various tummy aches and can usually tell by the type which food has offended me. Like I eat lots of avocados. Sometimes it is just too much fat. And that is a particular tummy ache. Dehydration tummy aches are different. Coconut oil tummy aches are different. Constipated/gluteny tummy aches are different.

Can you describe your tummy ache?

You might consider a RAST test. This will tell you what all you are allergic to.

i keep my own sponge separate from theirs. i keep all my own stuff atop in a cupboard so theres no chance of anything falling down or what not. the symptoms are alot like gluten only not as intense. i got the stomach rumbles, fatigue, diareha, and some gas and i havent slept good in quite awhile too which im sure is related in one way or another. what is RAST test ive never heard of it. the food diary is probley a good idea just its hard to rember but its probaly worth a shot. thanx

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      How do I contact someone at celiac.com concerning the cessation of my weekly e-newsletter? I had been receiving it regularly for years. When I tried to sign-up on the website, my email was not accepted. I tried again with a new email address and that was rejected as well. Thank you in advance!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
