Well I used to be able to drink OJ but in recent years I just can't digest it. Its too acidic for me. My BF always Nags me you need more juice and fruit... Yeah yeah I know.. So today he was drinking Odwalla OJ and said here have some.. I cringed and said Ok ONE sip.. I took one sip and New it was a mistake. I was Feeling good ALL day no stomach problems, As soon as I drank that I felt like I was gonna throw up. I can feel it in my throat the OJ, I burshed my teeth to get the taste gone, chewed gum, had a mint, ate a couple of chips... But nooo.. It just feels like it burns my stomach. So Im never and I mean NEVER drinking OJ again, I don't care if its the only between me and Death! Does anyone else have issues with OJ? I cant even eat Oranges anymore, I used to love them.

Our super, super silly DD seemed to start reacting to "oranges" out of the blue when we went really gluten free initially for her. If we are very selective about which orange juice and oranges that we make available to her now, she seems to do well with them. I am not convinced that her issue was with "oranges".

On the other hand, I have had a lifetime issue with pulp in orange juice. You could not make me drink the stuff unless I strained it. Now, that was a result of visiting my grandparents in Florida when I was 5 years old and totally overdosing on orange juice. :o oops!

I am going to go out on a limb here and ask. Do you have an intolerance to orang juice? Imo it sounds like just from that little sip, you may....I have the same prob with shrimp. I could eat it before, but just a little bite will send my stomach doing cart wheels. So horrible.

I haven't been able to eat oranges or drink orange juice for years now; it makes my psoriasis flare up horribly. I drink a glass, enjoy it, and within a day my psoriasis is bright red and painful, not just itchy.

I found out I couldn't tolerate OJ about a year ago...couldn't believe it because I love it...I've switched to AJ and some other mixed juices.

Has anyone been able to go back to OJ after healing with gluten-free?

Thanks!

Acouple of years ago I was able to drink OJ and eat oranges, but outta No where they started making me ill, So its interesting to hear other people have the same issues as I.

I used to eat oranges almost every day before going gluten-free. Now, about 30 mins after eating one I'll get a sharp pain in my gut. I laid off of them for a while because I thought it was a fluke, but once I started eating them again, the same situation happened. I'm wondering if it's just the acidity and now my body can't handle it anymore.

I was just wondering the same thing. I had a few sips of OJ and felt naucious for the rest of the day. I'm not usually and OJ drinker-I drink V-8 so, I had never noticed.

Is this a celiac thing or an allergy/intolerance thing? Anyone?

whats your blood type?

there is a book called "eat right for your type" and for those of us with O orange juice is bad. all the foods are put into 3 categories: good, neutral, and bad. ironically wheat is listed as bad for O's too.

it suggests that O types drink pineapple juice along with a few others but i dont remember which exactly off hand, but my dad has tried to stick to pineapple juice and has had less issues than when he drank OJ

I have had problems with all juices, but can eat the fruit fine. I think it has to do with a fiber issue.

Eh. I have blood type B and while OJ was one of my favorite juices, I can't drink it anymore. I've read the blood type book and it claims type B can eat dairy...I can't eat dairy. I think a lot of that is coincidental. O is the most common blood type, and since celiac is estimated to be in 1 in 133 people...stands to reason most people with celiac would have type O blood.

Oranges don't hurt my stomach per se, but they make my immune system go haywire, triggering my psoriasis.

I've had trouble with orange juice too. If i just have a little it's okay, but too much makes me nauseous. Eating oranges is no problem though. It might very well be the acidity. I also seem to have trouble with tomatoes lately too. Do you have any problem with tomatoes or other relatively acidic foods?

Yeah Tomatos Are Not good...

Pegleg84 Collaborator

in that case, it's probably not the juice or fruit per se but the acidity level. It's funny cause I had tomato in my salad at noon today and felt a little funny after, and same with the guacamole i made tonight. figured it was just my cold.

anyone else got tomato problems?

Since I became gluten sensitive, I'm unable to drink OJ, and eat citric fruits either.  I looking for other foods for my vitamin C intake.  Are their any suggestions on other foods that will provide vitamin C?

There is this interesting thing called " Google".  You can find things like this

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
