On friday I had a horrible hell of a reaction that lasted to late night monday that happened right after drinking some pumpkin drink with the torani. Nothing else unusual that day.

Thoughts?

You sure love your sweet liquidy yummies dont you? :D

What are the ingredients?

And you know...sometimes other things make us feel bad. For instance, I started taking a new vitamin C yesterday, so today it is the big D. Vitamin C can do that to you. And Tamarind fruit will give me literally non-stop D for 24 hours. Scary D.

Maybe you are sensitive to something else in the syrup.

Could it be just too much sugar? That will happen to me sometimes.

Directly from Torani's FAQs........

Which syrups contain Gluten?

At this time, we only have two syrups, Toasted Marshmallow and Sugar Free Vanilla which is known to contain a small amount of barley which does contain gluten. We are unaware of any gluten in our other syrups. We also do not add any casein to our syrups and are unaware of its presence in any of our ingredients.

I like to try new things for my carb loads so yeah I try a lot of sweets. Though last night was excellent. I kept it fatty and not so sugary. For example I had two big hempshakes (like my milkshakes posted in the baking and cooking tips) rather than something like a bunch of apples and a quart of ice cream. My insides are thanking me today.

Anyway it could be the result of too much sugar, but I felt pretty close to dying. I had hallucinations, difficulty thinking, suicide ideation (from being confused and hopeless not depressed), severe D and cramps, feverish feelings, chills, etc... for FOUR days! I've had lots of sugar in an instant before because of my carb loads and it was never that bad.

There is caramel coloring in the pumpkin blend but like I said the site has a huge chart of allergens with none of them checked.

I had the pumpkin which definitely was not worth it. Though it was a learning experience. When I first started getting symptoms I was so furious that I almost grabbed a pizza or something that I sometimes crave (mainly for nostalgia sake rather than taste) but was able to rationalize myself into not doing. And I learned to STAY WITHIN MY BOUNDS. NO MORE SUSPICIOUS FOODS FOR PYRO! And no more eating things that bother me but don't kill me like daifuku and apples. Yes, apples. They will definitely be hard since I just discovered honey crisp, but I can easily know for 100% that they will burn my mouth and stomach everytime I eat them. I've actually known that before cutting out gluten, but ate them anyway "because it wasn't so bad". If it hurts, why bother?

You know I react to any Stasero syrups with caramel coloring. They swear no gluten but I react nonetheless and have given them up. Kind of hard to track darn the culprit when there is no specific ingredient.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
