Any Suggestions For Relief

Oh help. I am so frustrated. I have completely, I think, cut gluton from my diet - and it hasn't been easy as you all know - but my stomache is bloated huge, I am so tired and cranky and even my tongue hurts. Tuesday I had a caramel rice cake with PB and J and boom - a reaction. I don't get it. Otherwise, I have been making sandwiches with bread for my son. I don't know. Plus - I can't seem to loose any weight and I don't hardly eat and really bike like 10 - 15 miles a day. Any suggestions on what happened? Any suggestions on relief.

Guessing...some people react to Quaker Rice Cakes, others don't. I eat Lumberg Rice Cakes. Have others double-dipped into the PB? Did you wash well after making the sandwich?

Have you checked your old, scratched pots and pans, toaster, colander, shampoo, lip balms/sticks, lotions, meds, vitamins? Gluten is a tricky little sucker and can hide everywhere.

I would keep a food journal and document your reactions to different foods or products. If you have a question, just ask.

Have you always eaten rice cakes, peanut butter and Jelly or are those new foods?

What does your tongue feel like?

I think I remember reading someone's post not to trust Quaker, possibly cross contamination at the factory. Try another brand to see if you react to them.

It takes time, I understand how hard it is.

I agree that cross contamination is a big problem. It seems it can happen anywhere, with anything. For example,for awhile I was eating lays potato chips as technically they are Gluten-Free but I know they are made at the same facility. In the beginning, I thought "Oh come on, being made in the same facility can't be that big a deal!" so I was still eating the chips and a number of other things. I was fine for maybe 4 full bags of potato chips and then for whatever reason, one day, this one particular bag glutened me. I thought maybe it was something else so I ate from the same bag again maybe 2 weeks later as a test and was glutened again. It's amazing how fast that reaction occurs. Bloating up, stomachache and deep stabbing gut pains, and then the next day, Dh rash coming out on my face.

So I learned, while maybe I can get away with those Lays Chips sometimes, it's not worth the crazy russian roulette risk that one of those bags could be from a time they didn't thoroughly clean the lines.

Perhaps it's a similar situation with something you are eating? Whenever this happens to me I stop, and reexamine EVERYTHING I'm exposed to. Usually I can find the offender that way. Learning to listen to your body is key, something I've learned is a reaction doesn't just randomly happen, even though sometimes it seems you have truly not been exposed to anything. It always got in there somehow. Think outside the box about what it could be, cosmetics and toiletries are a good suggestion too.

It's so hard, I totally understand and am right there with you. *hug*

I have eaten rice cakes but these were "Cracker Jack". But, I may have double dipped into the PB because I make sandwiches for my son, Liam.

But, odd you should ask, my tongue feels a little swollen and I have developed little cankers - asap. I have noticed this before. Is that weird.

It's still pretty new to me too. I should look back in my journal and see when I actually started this.

I have become intolerant to peanut butter. I am currently doing somewhat of an ellimination diet. It's not fun, but it's much easier to see what I'm reacting to when I'm eating few foods.

My tongue has been my most symptomatic place, other than my stomach. My tongue always feels swollen and chronically irritated. When I'm super, duper good with eating and strict, that burning sensation goes down a lot! Anyways, as of recently, I've noticed the peanut butter making it worse?!

      Healthy Omega Three fats. Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat. Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel. Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body. Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Is this celiac?

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months. Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl. Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover. It will hit your Lympatic system and spread through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn...

      Is this celiac?

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps. I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday. I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testi...

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Thank you so much for the responses. Every piece of information helps.  I only knowingly ate gluten once, that was four days ago. I had the reaction about 3-4 hours after consuming it. I’m concerned that after 4 days the symptoms aren’t abating and almost seem worse today than yesterday.  I haven’t had either breath test. I did ask about additional testing but the PA recommended me to a celiac specialist. Unfortunately the first available is mid-December.  As far as diet, I am a pescatarian (have been for 25+ years) and I stopped eating dairy mid-last week as my stomach discomfort continued. Right now, I’m having trouble eating anything. Have mostly been focused on bananas, grapes, nut butters, DF yogurt, eggs, veggie broth.   I ordered some gluten-free meal replacements to help.  But I’ll get all the items (thank goodness for Instacart) and try the diet you recommended to get me past this period of feeling completely awful.  Yes, my doctor diagnosed celiac. I was concerned it wasn’t right based on the negative blood test and my continued symptoms.  Even if you are ‘glutened’ it shouldn’t last forever, right? Is four days too long?
