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...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.
