Gluttened By Cold Cuts?

I am fairly new to gluten free. Yesterday I ate rolled up cold cuts with american cheese and about an hour later was very ill. The cold cuts were hatfield ham, wunderbar bologna and shady brook oven roasted turkey breast. Sick all evening and my stomach is not right this morning. I have looked up the cold cuts and I think that they are gluten free. Ever have this happen to you. Thanks. Myra

Did you buy those from the deli where they use the slicer for other kinds of meats and cheeses? If they weren't prepackaged in plastic, I would put that down to CC.

Yes they were from the deli. I have gotten cold cuts from the deli before and not had a problem. I thought maybe it was the kind of cold cuts. Who knows. Maybe the cc.

I can't comment on the deli-cut meats and cheeses, as I haven't bought any in years. But, I suspect I got slightly glutened one time from the packaged thick ham steak slices. The one's that come one to a package and are about the size of a dinner plate. There were no wheat ingredients listed however, so who knows. I never got any again though.

best regards, lm

If you are fairly new to the gluten-free diet are you still eating dairy? I would guess either cc or dairy, possibly both in this case.

I react slightly to ham also. I guessed it was the nitrates. I now buy nitrate free and gluten-free Hormel naturals.

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
