Thinking I made a gluten-free meal only to wake with bloating and stomach pains. I cooked rice pasta, sausage containing brocclli rabe and tomatoe sauce-organic, red wine and some cheese. I am only 3 weeks in and sometimes feel like it would be better to aviod all food.

If you know the sausage was 100% safe, my guess would be the red sauce and wine. I know in my first couple of weeks, I had a horrible reaction after red wine and anything acidic...maybe because my body was suddenly absorbing stuff it had not been in a while, and was in "shock"? But, I do remember those first few weeks as pretty frustrating and horrible.

I now able to have red sauce again, the wine, I have no tried yet (except when it has been cooked in sauces I have made)..too scared, but will one day soon :)

I would think cheese and/or red wine. Most newly diagnosed folks can't handle dairy for awhile, and there are quite a few of us who can't handle it for the long term.

I also can't do some red wines because of the sulfites. One of the last bottles I had made me want to crawl out of my skin after about 2 sips... it's hard because I love red wine. I do better with some than others.

Celiac makes us great detectives!! ;)

Not to confuse the issue, but would it be possible the sausages were made with a gluten containing filler? Pure sausage is just ground meat w/seasonings, but it's easy to sneak bread crumbs into meat that's processed (or in the casings even).

BTW as to red wine, a friend of mine who was partner in a wine store said European wines are more pure than Calif. Think they have naturally occurring sulfites but none added. I know Italian French and Span. wines don't bother my stomach as much as US.

I had a similar situation a couple weeks into my celiac diagnosis, making baked ziti. I was certain everything was gluten-free, then when I felt terrible for two days after, thought I must have been wrong. However, my two daughters, also with celiac, did not feel bad, so I started wondering. I couple "experiments" later, I realized I was reacting to tomatoes/tomato sauce. Could this be a possibility for you?

Yes I have had the same problem with salsa, once a favorite of mine...no more! I believe it was some thing in the sausage as well.

I am having a tough time with how severe the reaction is since I have stopped the gluten. Soy sauce is a no no..and the list goes on!I seem better eating bland and basic.

Many sausages are safe. I've had good luck with Johnsonville (suggested by others on this site), Aidells (listed NO GLUTEN on label) and just bought Cantella's based on ingrediants, but haven't tried yet I too have bad reaction to tomato sauces -- hoping this improves with healing, but rarely test it.

As for wine...I drink most reds...I bloat with whites, think its the sulfate. Anyway...at times I've had minor bathroom issues with reds, but no bloating as far as I can tell.

Keep trying new foods...I was extremely frustrated in the first weeks...at about 2.5 months now and have replicated almost all the foods we used to eat...except for the pesky bread group...still need to find a decent sandwich bread that doesn't break the bank!

I also know that at first I didn't trust everything in a meal when I got sick...our whole family has become better Gluten detectives and you will too...hang in there!

The meal might have been gluten-free with no hidden gluten. I was on the gluten-free diet for a long time until I felt better. I think my damage had occured over such a long period of time it took awhile to heal. In retrospect I should have stayed away from alcohol and dairy, but I didn't. Feel better soon.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I just had my endoscopy the other day and the doctor took 12 samples because he said if we're going to find something we're going to find it today LOL. But when he got down there, he said everything looked good. So I have it in my head again that it's going to be negative because everyone I've heard of who had a positive biopsy had their endoscopies where the doctor was like yep, I can see the damage. My tissues all look great apparently. So if they come back negative, I'm not sure where to go from here. Could it still be a non-celiac gluten sensitivity even with my blood work? I thought NCGS didn't show up on blood tests. Is it possible that the biopsy still comes back positive...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      That's just it. When they are doing an EGD, even with biopsy, if they aren't thinking about celiac disease they may miss it. They should take several samples from both the duodenum and the duodenum bulb. Damage can be patchy and easily missed if sampling isn't through. And patch damage may explain lack of dramatic symptoms. Let me assure you that we frequently have posters on this forum who were silent celiacs for years and were diagnosed incidentally with celiac disease when their docs were checking for other things. They developed other medical problems such as anemia or vitamin and mineral deficiencies, neurological deficits, Hashimodo's thyroid...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Blood tests are affected by what you've had to eat in the previous day or two and any vitamin supplements you've taken in the past month or two.   If you have been taking vitamins before the time of the blood test, the vitamins supplements could mask a deficiency.  So get the tests before supplementing, or allow eight to twelve weeks for the supplements to wear off.    The thing with blood tests is that they measure what is in the blood, not what is stored inside organs and tissues where vitamins are actually utilized, and may miss subclinical deficiencies.  In times of shortages, the brain can order cells to release their stored vitamins into the blood stream in order to keep important...

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By Shining My Light · Posted

      Thank you @trents! This is all sound advice. In 2022 I did have a biopsy done with the EGD: SPECIMEN: (A) DUODENUM, BIOPSY (B) GASTRIC BIOPSY(C) GASTRIC POLYP, BIOPSY(D) ESOPHAGUS BIOPSY (E) ESOPHAGUS BIOPSY This would have been when the candida was found.  If I understand right it’s the duodenum they take a biopsy of. Nothing was mentioned about Villous atrophy however they were not looking for that particularly.    Something that stumps me is the correlation between symptoms and damage. One seems to equal the other. I have yet to see damage with “silent celiac”. Not saying it doesn’t exist.  Also super curious on other symptoms that would improve...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I know I haven't been tested for Celiac yet. But If I took a blood test would they be able to say what I am deficient in as far as vitamins and minerals so I can see what supplements to take or is it not that easy to figure out what is needed to balance out vitamins/minerals.
