Have I Been Glutened?

[Live2BWell]

I think I've been accidentally glutened. I've been really sick today - sick like I used to get sick. Actually I had a horrible headache last night, like debilitating (i had to lay down in the dark and my TMJ has been really bad as well.) Today I've been in the bathroom several times, and having a lot of stomach pain. I have a bit of a headache but not like last night.

I am a newly diagnosed Celiac, and I have been really careful (or so I thought) at being gluten free, but I think I've been glutened. How do you trace it back?

Yesterday I had -

* Gluten free cereal

* 2% milk

* Popcorn

* Ground Turkey Soft Tacos (corn tortillas)

--->Toppings: bell/yellow/red pepper, cheese, salsa, dab of Rotel, Sour Cream

--->Seasonings: dash - ground cumin, minced garlic, ground chili pepper

* 1 Kinnikinick Chocolate Chip Muffin

* Vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast

* 1 Redbridge Beer

* Diet Rootbeer, Diet Arizona Iced Tea, Water, Coke Zero

Anyone see anything that could be the culprit?

Jessica--I see something suspect--in your signature/statement, you say you are allergic to "whole" milk. Cow's milk is cow's milk--it doesn't matter if it is whole milk or 2% milk, nonfat milk, etc. It is the protein in cow's milk that is the allergen, not the fat content, so if you are allergic to cow's milk it will make you sick. So both the 2% milk and the breakfast drink you drank are most likely the reason why you feel ill. Don't be confused by the word "whole" infront of the word milk from your allergy test results. You may want to try some of the other non-cow's milk "milks" for awhile. In addition to this, if you are newly diagnosed for celiac/gluten intolerance your intestines would mostly likely need time to heal before being able to digest the lactose in milk.

Sour cream can contain gluten. And if you are allergic to milk...then why are you having milk and sour cream? You need to avoid ALL dairy.
