Gluten Free Cream?

This is the third time in a week I have been sick from cream. The first time was at my boyfriends house when his mum made carbonara and used cooking cream. I didn't realise it had thickener 1442 in it and later paid the price for not being more diligent.

On sunday I was naughty and ate boston icing from my work - I thought it was gluten free, and then later that night ate a dish that had cream in it, this time using bulla which had no thickener in it. Again I paid the price, and thought it must have been the icing as cream is naturally gluten free right?

However tonight I ate what was labelled as gluten free satay sauce, and tucked into that but I am starting to get all those symptoms of eating gluten. I'm thinking that the satay sauce had cream in it - in which case - why can I not eat cream?? I drink lots of milk and eat cheese so I can't also have dairy problems, but I didn't think that cream had gluten in it??

It's been so long since I have felt this crappy and I am so mad at myself for putting myself through this again! I have been diagnosed with coeliacs for just two months so I am still learning all the ropes.

Anyone have any ideas whats wrong with my body?? And know anything I can take to help the pains???

:(

Are you sure you're not getting glutened by something else? I mean, cross-contamination, from some other food, or skin/hair care products, cast irons pans, wooden cutting boards, etc.

Hi! Thanks for replying so soon. Nothing in the last week has changed - ie I still use the same shampoo and beauty products, and on sunday my dad made a completely gluten free meal for us all, so I doubt that there was any cross contamination. Nothing was any different to any other week. It's food for thought though and something I need to address. I just can't understand why at all times it has been a creamy dish that has made me sick, yet I can have milk. Is cream any different to milk? I also eat yoghurt and have no trouble with that!

A lot of time with celiac the damaged villi can't handle the large milk globules for a while if ever. The cream probably has even larger molecules. For myself I only can handle eating nonfat sugar free yogurt for the same reason...the fatty kinds get me. At least you thankfully can eat more milk products so perhaps you can think of other alternatives to replace the cream...

Meanwhile using marshmallow root caps regularly will help reduce inflammation of your villi...

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
