Hi, I have just recently been diagnosed and I have been gluten free since Sunday. I have two questions. Does anyone have a good substitute for bread crumbs to use in recipes? Meat loaf? Meat balls etc? Would ground flaxseed work? My 2nd question is. How long until it is out of my system. I have broken out in hives more since I have given up gluten. My nutritionist put me on a 3 week cleanse that cuts gluten, dairy, caffeine etc... and my body must be going through some serious withdrawls / detox but, the hives and itchies are unbearable. I'm trying not to take any benedryl because she said to stay away from anything over the counter but, it is getting worse. Any words of wisdom?

Hi, and welcome.

Gluten free breadcrumbs are available or you can make your own from gluten free bread. You could try flaxseed.

The worst of the withdrawal, etc., is often over in two weeks; you just have to stick with it because it is different for each person.

As for the hives and itching (new symptom apparently), this happened to me after going gluten free and I found out I was intolerant of soy, which is put in a lot of gluten-free foods, and you may well be eating soy if you have cut out dairy. I would look at what you have added to your diet since you eliminated gluten as being a potential culprit, something you are eating a lot of...that would be where I would start. Masking it won't help; you have to find out what it is. Keep a food diary and symptom diary and see if there is any correlation with what you are eating.

Keep in touch.

Welcome to the board.

You can make gluten free bread, dry it, and then put it in the food processor to make your own.

Purchase gluten free bread crumbs - many, many brands.

For example:

I was just recently diagnosed as well and would love more information especially about the soy intolerance I found out today that I couldn't have one brand so far of soy milk I thought I was gonna die w/ the effects it had on me. I found that they make a breading that has corn meal and organic sugr haven't tried it thou I'm as far in as you. I've been gluten-free since Sunday as well.

I do fine with soy but, I prefer almond milk. I just prefer its taste if you don't have any nut allergies you should give it a try. You can find it anywhere they sell soy milk but, on the shelves not the refrigerated section. Are you as overwhelmed as I am??? I thought staying away from pasta and pizza was going to be tough enough but, gluten is everywhere.... and there is just too much information to take in... Although I am glad to finally have been diagnosed correctly and hope that there is an end to my health probs in the near future. Since you have it up on sunday is your body going haywire? I think alot of the reactions I am having are more about giving up caffeine and sugar (nutritionist has me doing a cleanse for 3 weeks) but, I am breaking out in hives at least once a day and I really haven't started eating anything new. I just cut thing out and I am eating alot of fresh fruit, nuts, and vegtables...

I have used leftover mashed potatoes and it worked pretty good for meatballs/meatloaf. I've even used dried potato flakes mixed with enough water to get the right texture, and it worked. Can't help with the hives - never get them.

and I am eating alot of fresh fruit,

This stood out in your post D Angel. I wondered if you are in the habit of consuming a lot of fruit prior to gluten free; could it be a fruit "overload" that is causing your hives? Or a particular fruit in large quantities? Just a thought.

I don't think so. I have always been a big fruit eater and always conscious that I got in all my servings of fruits and veggies in. And I haven't been eating any new fruits that I'm not already used to. Thanks tho :)

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Issues before diagnosis

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
