I Ate Gluten By Mistake. I Want It Out Of Me!

Missing Licorice

Hi I've been eating 3 musketeers bars this past weekend. I've been cranky and bloated. Then I founded out that they aren't gluten free. I think they mush have malt flavouring. Any tips on how to flush the system quickly? I usually eat some ground flax seed and down a couple cups of water with it. Any other suggestions?

Hey "Missing Licorice,"

I know this wasn't your question, but I satisfy my taste for licorice with anise-flavored toothpaste (yum!... way better than mint... plus Nature's Gate is free of gluten and flouride). I also love the the "Egyptian Licorice" flavor of Yogi Tea. Licorice is good for satisfying sugar cravings. :P

Won't do any good to "flush the system ". Your candy bar has long ago been absorbed into your body.

I've read on this forum somewhere that Milky Way Dark is gluten free, and regular Milky Way is not. They are made in different plants. If I were you, I'd call the company directly. I love Milky Way too!!

I phoned up 3 musketeers and they named off their chocolate bars that do not contain gluten, and 3 musketeers was not mentioned. The bar does contain "flavor" as an ingredient, which could possibly be malt. The bar is wheat free, but that doesn't mean gluten free!

The nutritional information web page for the 3 Musketeers bar, to which happygirl referred, says specifically about the 3 Musketeers bar, "Product is gluten free."

I think this is no longer the case. I was going to pick up some Milky Way Darks around Halloween and was surprised to see barley malt is now an ingredient. (Although this was a few months ago and now I'm debating whether I did look at the dark or the regular package, but I really thought it was the darks because I know regular isn't gluten-free.) So make sure you check the package.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
