Hi- I posted last week that my celiac GI symptoms where acting up something fierce........... well they still are.

Now have a Question I have been thinking about it. About 3 hours after my breakfast this Am GI symtoms cam on back.

Now I have been eating the following for breakfast over the past few weeks:

EnviorKidz Amazon Frosted flakes or Gorilla munch or peanut butter panda puffs.

Now the box says Gluten Free.......... but does anyone know if they are Wheat free???

If it says gluten free it will not have wheat in it. Gluten is found in wheat. I eat those envirokidz cereals all the time. I like that brand alot. Could there be something else that you are sensitive to?

Yes they are fine

Maybe you're reacting to the milk in your cereal. Lactose intoleracne is common in celiacs, try drinking lactaid or lacteeze milk.

Envirokidz also makes wheat-containg products. I've known a few celiacs, including myself, who reacted to Envirokidz. It just depends on how sensitive you are.

Envirokidz had some issues about a year ago with contamination. They were not testing their batches to make sure they were OK. I sure hope this problem isn't comming up again. You might try giving them a call to see when the last time they tested was.

Hi- Thanks for all your replys. I already use lactaid milk. But I did call up the company and ask about cross contamination .......... I was told that they produce the cereals with the most allergens 1st then do a whole clean up of the production line and kitchen area before producting anything else. They also test the Gluten free cereals at random for cross contamination, I was told.

I am still a little bit leary......... because I am sooooo sensative. So I think I will stay away from it for a while......... then try it again when I have a few days off.

Thanks Terry, Dumont NJ ;)

I eat the peanut butter puffs all the time with no issue, but who knows?

You might try Barbara's puffins honey rice. They are gluten-free and great! Or Energfoods makes a great granola mix. You can eat it like cereal or take it on the go, like I do.

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
