Contamination Maybe?

I'm fairly new to the gluten-free world, and doing well so far. However, last night I got home and my son was eating Tostitos bite size corn chips and salsa. I looked at the ingredients for both, and had some. Today, I had the big "D" twice, so I figure I must have gotten some gluten. The Tostitosd web site lists these chips as gluten-free. I suppose it could have been th salsa, but I eat the same salsa on eggs with no problem.

Anybody have experience with these chips?

Thanks

Walt

Did you have any dairy products since last night? I noticed during the first several months of my healing after going gluten free that I would get D whenever I would eat cheese. That still happens now, whenever I am accidentally glutened, but not when I haven't been.

Hi Walt

One question came to my mind, could your son have had something with gluten before he started eating the chips? I live on tostitoes scoops and salsa but have my own bag seperate from my kids just in case they ate a sandwhich etc and forgot to wash their hands before reaching into the bag. I also keep my own salsa because my kids will dip regular doritoes in the jar sometimes (they are 17, 20 and 22 so they easily forget about me when they are snacking so we have seperate containers for them and myself). Cross contamination happens pretty easy when you have family members still eating gluten...not sure if this is your case or not just a thought :)

Thanks for the ideas. I don't think it's dairy. I regularly eat cottage cheese and yogurt with no problems. It could very well be something my son ate before the chips. He is 17 and eats everything in sight.

Thanks

I also noticed that early on in my healing that there were times that I was just sick. I know that everything I had eaten was gluten-free. It took me a long time to heal enough that I did not have the D often (about 6 months). Hope you are feeling better. This also might be a good time to remind your family about cc and how sick it can make you.

      4 Years and very little progress

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the  forum @maylynn! Have you had a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for healing of the villous lining? If not, it's about time one was done. As Scott mentioned, I also wonder if you have food intolerances in addition to gluten. Oats (even gluten free oats), dairy, soy, corn and eggs are some of the most common ones in the celiac community.

      Is your gluten-free diet strict? Do you eat out in restaurants? If so, you could be getting contamination, and over time that can slow recovery. You may want to get a follow up celiac disease antibody panel done to make sure that your levels have gone down since your last tests. Also, have you had various nutrient levels checked via a blood test, and have you been taking vitamin & mineral supplements since your diagnosis?  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.    Do you still have celiac disease symptoms?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      4 Years and very little progress

      Hello!  I am here as a last result, hoping for some advice, similar stories, etc. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. By the time we figured it out my iron levels were so low I had to get infusions, and I had lost 20lbs. in two weeks going from a 5'11 130lbs woman to a 110 lbs. Now, I am 21 and have gained 4 lbs since. Every time I eat a meal, I get three bites in and feel so full that I feel sick. I can't eat a full meal. Something else has to be wrong right? This can't just be more "normal" right? I have done test after test and no doctor in my area can figure anything else out. They have told me I most likely have shrunken my stomach by now with how little I am eating so that has to do with some of the sick feeling. What have you done to gain the weight back? Foods? Workouts?

      Thank you so much, Scott. I find it incredibly daunting navigating this celiac space and I find comfort in your wealth of knowledge. Thank you 🙏🏻
