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?

      I don't know if I am getting sufficient Omega Threes. I read about  phosphotidyl choline may cause heart issues. I will have o do further research on heathy Omega 3 supplements or from foods. Is there a blood test that can tell you everything level in your system such as Thiamine, Benfotiamine levels etc? Thanks

      If lectins were my problem, I would react to wheat germ (the highest source of wheat lectins) and beans. I don't. I only react to bread and pasta, which are the highest sources of gluten. Therefore, my issue is wheat-specific (Gluten/ATIs), not a general lectin issue.   I have eaten a supposedly high lectin diet (I say supposedly because lectin content in these foods is greatly reduced by proper cooking and I eat very few of those foods raw, and even then, rarely!!) for years. My health has improved greatly on my whole foods plant forward diet. I have asked all my drs and a registered dietician about my diet, asked if eating such a high amnt of fiber might interfere with the digestion of any other nutrients and the answer has always been NO.     while doing the gluten challenge I did not eat ANY wheat germ (since it doesn't have hardly any gluten, and I was too sick from the bread and pasta to want to eat much anyway) I will NOT put that poison in my body again. That was a horrific experience and if this is what most celiac patients have to deal with, I am very sorry for them I don't care if I have celiac or NCGS I won't intentionally cause myself that much pain and suffering it's not worth it.

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!
