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...

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?

      What are Celiac Disease Symptoms?

      In addition to gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea, I had gastroesophageal reflux that was becoming intolerable despite treatment with PPIs and antacids. When I went gluten-free, the GERD lessened tremendously (as did the other symptoms).

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      Thank you so very much Scott. Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful. If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. 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:

Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
