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...

      Chances of being coeliac

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
