Pineapple Juice?

I'm in my 12th week gluten-free and still struggling. I've glutened myself 3 times for various reasons, and am in my longest stretch gluten-free at 16 days gluten-free now. Tonight I'm feeling pretty funky and wondering if I glutened myself or am having a food intolerance to something.

Today's food:

Stash Tea: confirmed gluten-free

Almond Milk

Hershey's Cocoa powder

Brown Sugar

Ground Beef

McCormics Sage, marjoram, salt, pepper,

OLD bottle of basil (Were the laws on single ingredient spices the same 10 years ago?)

Potato

Olive Oil

Apple

Orange

Dole Pineapple Juice: Vitamin E and A added. Could this have been the culprit?

Nail biting again!

Pacific Foods gluten-free Chix Broth

Thai Kitchen noodles

frozen peas/carrots

ground beef

Sage, marjoram, salt, pepper, Same OLD basil

More pineapple Juice: I started feeling significantly worse 15 minutes after dinner. I was feeling poorly earlier in the day, but it got worse all of a sudden after dinner.

MSG also affects me pretty severly

I had Ragu sauce last night, but MSG is not listed and I don't see an ingredient it is commonly disguised as.

Anyone know if Dole Pineapple juice or old single spices are suspect? Can you get just a little sick from just a little exposure? I'm not having the strong reaction that I had the 3 times I know I had gluten. I'm more uncomfortable than miserable.

Happy Turkey feasting!

It took me about six months before I could tell a glutening from time needed to heal.

Everyone is different. Sometime you can react, other times you don't. Sometimes your reaction time is within hours, other times days.

I've been doing it for several years and I haven't figured it out yet. I just know to be as careful as I can and go about my life. ;)

I'd be careful about the nail biting though. And the pineapple juice might be a little too acidic for you.

First, toss out all old spices. Ordinarily, about a year is the suggested shelf life.

I've used Dole pineapple juice without problems, but as was stated, it may be the acidity which bothered you. I don't know what their source of vitamin E is, but it may be worth looking in to. It doesn't have to be gluten to bother you, and it's quite possible that you have other sensitivities. Many on this board have discovered this only after going gluten-free.

What's in the Thai Kitchen noodles? Are you possibly sensitive to nightshades (potato)? I recently heard that many cheaper brands of olive oil are a mixture of oils, so depending on what you have, it could actually contain corn oil or something.

I've found out many times that even slightly rancid stuff gets me. If your oil is a high quality extra virgin cold press type, I wouldn't be able to use it past about 1 month, unless it was kept in the freezer. The old basil would very likely give me trouble.

Or, maybe the ground beef was a little off? Perhaps someone else will have some further insight for you.

I love pineapple but find for whatever odd reason it just doesn't agree with me and gives me stomach pains as if I've been glutened. Same thing if I eat raw broccoli.

Like others have said, I'd get rid of the old spices, but it could very well be that pineapple just doesn't agree with you.

I feel even worse today. It is a full fledged glutening. I get the neuro symptoms, and clumsy. I hardly have digestive troubles. I'm so frustrated and worried about how to keep this up. OK, no more nail biting. I had done well until after a job interview and relapsed. Thanks for the info.

SGWhiskers,

I went down the list.

I would question:

Potato- contamination of skin- I tried some sweet potato last night that I scrubbed like mad with veggie wash and tons of agua...alas still a no-go

Thai noodles: cross contamination, I'm not familiar with these

Peas/carrots:cross contamination or additives

Ragu: I'm not familiar with their processing

Fruit: wash all fruit well, the food grade wax used to preserve freshness may gluten (read that I can get source if needed) I use veggie-wash brand. It's gluten free.

I'd say the acidity may have done you in too. Tomato sauce with pineapple. But you know you. If you haven't been sensitive to other acidic foods than it is probably just gluten. A little can go a long way as far as gluten is concerned. I seemed to grow more sensitive as my body healed. I feel great but a little gluten can make me feel quite bad. Be careful of the "certified gluten free" and the "gluten free...processed on equipment that processes wheat" products. While celiac is a disease it is, "gluten-free" is a marketing technique so be careful. Call companies to ensure safety. I've been gluten-free for 4-5 years now; it's work but I'd never go back.

Happy,

Please note: you are replying to a 3 year old post. Hopefully the Original Poster has it figured out by now.

Although this is an old topic, I have been glutened by Dole Pineapple.  Label states ingredients only juice and pineapple, however, I have been glutoned  twice by this, it might be in the production line, all I can say it was the only thing I had eaten at the time.

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      It wasnt really eye catching, but they were small stains which looked like dried out liquid. I dont know if it was normal or shouldve been just completely clean. But if someone didnt pay attention, it wouldnt be noticeable.

      If there were stains or particles on a drink can in an area that would either contact the drink or my lips, I would wash that can whether or not I had celiac disease.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      You are on the money, but I should also add that Italian, French and other countries research shows exactly what I have said. Our FDA is behind the ball when it comes to this research and I am hopeful that Kennedy can straighten this out soon, albeit he is giving the food companies too long to just remove food dyes from our foods when in fact they have to remove all that in order to sell for example, in the UK as they aren't allowed such things. The food companies and the cola companies have also changed their formulas to have just sugar in them instead of corn gluten aka high fructose corn syrup and corn starch in them. Misinformation here in America is a very dangerous thing. I also have been grain free for a long time now and at no time can I even have the smallest amount of corn gluten -I recently got glutened from a supplement that claimed to be grain free yet upon further research I found that it had erythritol (corn sugar) in it and that is what got me sick for 7 days straight. I am not hopeful to ever be able to add back into my diet any of the grain glutens, but perhaps those who were only gluten intolerant might be able to, but for me being celiac, I have no hope in that. Thank you for the article, I will add it to my collection of research as I am collecting everything I can find on this subject and posting it on X as well as other places.  I also don't use psuedo grains i.e. quinoa as that also reacts negatively with my gut, so I am 100% a cassava/tapioca/arrow root girl and that is my go to bread replacement. There are some new items made with chicpea/green peas that are sold as rice alternatives, i bought one to try but haven't yet. So food companies are getting creative, but like you said, I am fresh whole foods and don't buy many processed foods, I make my own cheese, ketchup, pickles, jams, etc.

      There were small spots (stains) on the drinking area at the top of the energy drinks can from the store that looked as the same color as milk — maybe oat milk (Hafermilch) or a wheat-based drink (Weizendrink), but I’m not sure what it was. There were also some particles that looked like either flour or dust, but not many. Could it have been a gluten-containing drink spilled onto the can or just regular small stains which I shouldn‘t worry about? Do you watch out for stuff like that or am I overthinking? Would it cause damage to a celiac?

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially processed derivatives like corn syrup—might be worth exploring under medical guidance. That said, corn’s broader health impact (GMOs, digestibility, nutritional profile) is a separate but valid concern. Like you mentioned, ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘healthy,’ and whole, unprocessed foods are often the safest bet. For those sensitive to corn, alternatives like quinoa, rice, or nutrient-dense starches (e.g., sweet potatoes) can help fill the gap. Always fascinating (and frustrating) how individualized this journey is—thanks for highlighting these nuances! Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
