Hey guys...I'm new to the gluten intolerant world. Diagnosed a few weeks ago. After two weeks I felt the best I've felt in years. The bloat was gone and i had more energy than ever. But lastnight I ate something that triggered a reaction and I can't figure out what did it. I need your help. I would also like to know if reactions occur immediately after ingestion 0-30 min, or hours after b/c this seemed to be an immediate bloat...the kind that makes you look like you've conceived a soccer ball :)

Here's what I ate for dinner...rice spaghetti, kroger marinara sauce (Romano/Parmesan) with no bad ingredients and a honeysuckle white turkey hamburger patty. Dessert: breyers lactose free ice cream with 2 squares of hersheys dark chocolate and a few milk duds. That meal didn't seem to bother me. I went for a run a couple hours later and when I got in ate an egg cooked in clean skillet and some baked Cheetos.

I know I could have some lactose or egg issues but this really feels like the gluten kind of bloat...still puffed out this morning.

thanks guys! And I so can't wait until october 1st when everything has to be labeled gluten free or not!!!!!

Hi - and welcome to the gluten intolerant world. :)

It's hard to say what could have caused your reaction because that's a lot of processed food with a lot of ingredients.

Sometimes it helps to stick to more natural, basic stuff in the beginning, so you can really figure out what's going on with your body, and your body won't have to digest a bunch of chemicals while you're healing.

Also, sometimes you go through phases in the beginning where you feel better for a while, and then a bit worse. You could also have a temporary lactose issue, as you mentioned.

Good luck and hope you continue to feel better.

As I recall Milk Duds are not gluten free, have malt in them??

just wanted to let you know that milkduds have vanillin in them. That is made from wheat. I looked up the ingredients and that's the only thing I saw

First I will say that if I ate a meal like that.....I would explode. But I assume this is your normal kinda diet.

I suspect the Milk Duds too......Or like others said....ups and downs in the beginning.

Could also be that ALL that food was not fully digested by the time you took your run. When you exercise, your body shunts blood from the digestive tract to the muscles and lungs. Thus halting digesting. All those carbs and sugars that were sitting there will start to ferment. Then you get bloating and gas. I was a certified ACE personal trainer for 7 years. I saw this in my clients frequently. I tried to get them to eat light the few hours before a run.

Do you have a source for that? Vanillin is on the safe list on this website and a few others I have searched.

i went to a dietician after being diagnosed and they said vanillan (sp) was safe and milk duds is on the safe snack list. Hmmm...

this is definately the gluten bloat, not just being bloated from running. I'm a marathon runner that is why I eat so many calories :)

It's not the calories that are the problem, but the artificial ingredients, processed chemicals etc. that can be a problem if you're newly diagnosed and still healing.

I've heard people have problems with Hersheys. There are lots of possibilities though.

You said you cooked your egg in a clean skillet . . . is it a scratched non-stick skillet that could have had residue trapped in the scratches? Did you use a little butter . . . possibly from a shared (cc'd) tub of butter? Also check your egg-flippers spatulas for wear and tear (areas that may trap residue).

Milk Duds are OK.

Milk Duds are fine. My daughter eats them all the time. No malt or other gluten ingredients.

She is sensitive to egg yolks, though. Gets a weird bloaty, crampy feeling. Sticks with egg whites and no problem.

I have been reading a lot about baked cheetos and looks like there could have been some cross-contamination possibility there. I'm still pretty positive that it is a gluten reaction b/c i'm getting the mouth ulcers this morning. UGH! Doesn't take much does it? those 2 days of bliss were nice though...I can't remember the last time I haven't felt bloated before then.

Well, i just read that the new calcium chews that I bought yesterday had caramel coloring which is a no/no...i took it in the morning. Would my reaction had been that delayed as I didn't notice it until around 8pm???

Some say caramel coloring should be safe in the US but I was reacting to it so I stopped eating it. Hope you feel better soon!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      @Ginger38, Are you taking a B Complex vitamin? Vitamin D? Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.

      Thanks for your reply I’m a nearly 69yr old female. My only medications are Fosamax and Lamotrigine for seizures. Thank you for that drugs.com link! There are soooo many common side effects for Reclast and almost nothing for Fosamax. Since it’s working well and I haven’t had any side effects from Fosamax (stomach bleeding, pain or upset) my doctor recommends it first over Reclast. Reclast is introduced into a vein thus bypassing the stomach which avoids all those stomach issues. But, once it’s in me, it’s there for a year or so. Any complications can’t be undone. With Reclast, I’m concerned about not being able to treat dental issues, several weeks of bone pain and the chance, although rare, of kidney damage. Plus all those other dozens of common side effects. It’s a very effective drug but looks pretty complicated to deal with. Hopefully I’m not just being a big chicken. In 2018 I fell and broke my ankle in two places. It took three screws to put it back together which is normal for that surgery. There was no mention of any difficulty or signs of bone loss. Thanks to my dog, I fell about a month ago onto a concrete floor with thin carpet. I landed on my left hip, then my spine, one vertebrae at a time, then clunked my head on the door frame. Twisted my wrist too. It was all in slow motion waiting to feel a crack that didn’t happen. Went to the ER tho. Amazingly, I didn’t even see any bruises. Thanks again for that link. I need to read through it some more. My doctor’s appt is next week when I’ll make the big decision.
