Reaction To Gluten Or Dairy?

Last week I was away on holiday for 3 days. I did really well, and spoke to the chefs at the restaurants I ate at, and even brought my own pasta to an Italian place for them to cook for me with their sauce.

Every time I was at a cafe and ordered a chai, I would ask to see the package, and if I was unfamiliar I would use my phone to look up the brand and make sure it was safe, as I did for the soy milk, if I used it. I brought my own snacks as well.

My only problem was one night I went to a frozen custard place, and I asked if it was gluten-free, the kid had no clue what I was talking about, so he asked his manager, and she said yes. So, i went for it, and had a vanilla frozen custard in a cup. About 3 hours later, I felt awful it started as reflux or heartburn and then horrible gas and bloating :( I took licorice root and tums, and it didn't seem to work much. finally, in the morning I woke up and felt better. The rest of the trip, I stayed away from dairy, just in case, though, I have been fine with dairy since 1 month post-gluten-free change.

I decided to test it when I got home, and had sour cream on a baked potato...fine. Then, I had cream in some pasta, fine again. Last night, I had a big scoop of ice cream with cherry pie..and really felt like that would do it...nope. Could it have been a one-time dairy reaction, or could it have been gluten?

I have felt that in the past when I thought i may have been CC'd (like eating at a friend's when they used butter on something I was eating and worried it had crumbs), I would have no reaction, so then I guess I assumed I did not have reactions from gluten.

Thanks!

That's a gluten reaction.

They could have made practice cones and then if they aren't shaped properly they dump them back into the soft serve machine. mmmmm. Plus all sorts of other opportunities for cross contamination. And who knows what the manager knows about ingredients.

Sometimes I eat a dilly bar at Dairy Queen if it's a pre packaged one, sealed up, not the homemade ones, but I wouldn't risk soft serve ice cream unless it didn't matter what I felt like later.

Wow, I didn't know Dairy Queen was gluten-free...good to know.

I get uncomfortable with milk or ice cream but seem to be able to eat cheese or ricotta cheese. When I get the urge for ice cream at home I just mix a tea spoon of sugar and some cocoa and maybe some mint extract with about a 1/3 cup of whole milk ricotta and satisfy the urge. It is rich, creamy and tasty!

Sounds interesting, I will have to try that just to see how it tastes!

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By trents · Posted

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      By Skydawg · Posted

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?

      Gluten Free Cannabis Edibles

      I’ve used tinctures and made my own edibles with gluten-free ingredients to stay safe. Dispensary staff don’t always know about gluten, so I double-check labels or just make my own.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that there are some good doctors out there, and this is an example of why having a formal diagnosis can definitely be helpful.

      Damage after 13 years gluten free

      By RMJ · Posted

      Update: I have a wonderful new gastroenterologist. She wants to be sure there’s nothing more serious, like refractory celiac, going on. She ordered various tests including some micronutrient tests that no one has ever ordered before.  I’m deficient in folate and zinc and starting supplements for both. I’m so glad I decided to go to a new GI!
