Ugh!

Last night I sat down and ate a bunch of pumpkin seeds (without shell) and at about 1:30 am this morning I woke up with severe D...and it has continued since. I never had this problem before (new celiac as of 1/9/09), so I am a little upset.

My guess is I should lay off nuts/seeds for awhile to let my intestines heal a bit...am I correct in this thinking?

Thanks in advance for you imput.

Have a great weekend!

I'd say your problem isn't indulging, it's overindulging. Nuts and seeds are probably fine, as long as you don't eat a BUNCH of them! We do tend to be sensitive to high amounts of fiber early in the diet, try to use nuts and seeds as accessories instead of meals .

It could also be an allergy... my daughter is allergic to pumpkin seeds.

Have you tried other seeds? I understand if you're nervous about it <_< but pumpkin seeds are biologically very different from things like sunflower seeds or sesame seeds.

LOL when I say a bunch...I am meaning about a cup and a half of seeds with the shell before I took shell off....(for me that is a bunch)....wasn't enough for a meal. It could be that it is to many for me though...I don't eat them often and before diagnosis I always had D...so I wasn't sure what was causing it.

I was just surprised b/c since going gluten free have had no D at all (it has been fabulous let me tell ya)...35 years of D has been annoying to say the least.

Thanks again!

We they ones you roasted yourself? There are companies that use gluten in the processing or flavoring mixes.

For me it's not tolerating the fiber in them...I think.

In any form of nuts or seeds, even gluten-free, I start getting some serious cramps if I eat more than a handful or 2!

You really do need to check any kind of seeds or nuts you buy for gluten. It is pretty commonly used in the coatings of the seeds/nuts. Especially in mixed varities. Yeast or autolyzed yeast is in the coatings on several brands I've seen. Also be careful of seeds/nuts from overseas where the rules on labeling for allergens might be different.

      Hi Dawn,   Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine.  I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria.  I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction.  Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria.  I haven't had a tetanus shot since, but recent lab results show that I have many timed the immunity required.  Good Luck.

      Since we don't know what you reacting to when you get vaccinated, we can't say whether or not the pneumonia vaccine will cause a reaction. Is there some common ingredient in these vaccines that is causing a reaction. I mean, with many vaccines the antigen is delivered via a solution containing albumin (chicken egg protein). Some people are allergic to chicken egg protein so they can't take those vaccines. That kind of thing. When you say your "numbers are off the chart", what numbers do you refer to? Are you referring to celiac disease antibodies?

      Cape Cod potato chips are gluten-free, according to the company. I've never had a problem with these.

      I'm 63  Thank you for the article. I have worked with Dietitian at Mayo and also had breath testing done. They felt I was following a strict gluten-free diet along with eliminating sugar alcohol and chicory root. Also don't eat a lot meat, eggs and peppers. Because I get so sick I use only gluten-free products for my skin food medicine my pet food is gluten-free and I live alone so all my cooking stuff is all brand new prior to being diagnosed.  I buy only organic certified gluten free products and if not sure  look up or just don't eat or use. The Dermatologist at Mayo gave me a list of gluten-free products that I can use. ( personal products,  laundry detergent, I use vinegar and baking soda for cleaning ) . I ask family and friends to not bring  anything  in to my home that has gluten in it. I have tried  everything and my numbers still off the charts.   So as for the pneumonia vaccine I question if it has anything in it that will react negative in me?

      Dawn, yes, once the genes that give the potential for the development of celiac disease are "turned on" so to speak, they will be on for the rest of your life. It is not something that is cured or comes and goes but something that must be managed. Eliminating major sources of gluten from one's diet is pretty straight forward but many don't realize the multitude of places and ways gluten is hidden in the food supply and sneaks its way into our eats. So, eating "lower gluten' is easy but attaining a consistently and truly gluten free state is much harder and requires diligence. I am linking this article that might be of help to you in that regard:
