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.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
