Reaction To Certain Ingredients?

Hello everyone!

I am curious to see if anyone else has had my experience.

I have been eating Bob's Red Mill bread mix made with my bread machine with no problems at all. I have been using Food for Life brown rice tortillas as a wrap for lunch with no problems. Pamela's baking mix (which rocks by the way) also causes no issues.

Last week, Earthfare was out of the tortillas so I decided to try Kinnikinnick sandwich bread that was in the frozen section. I have been soooooooooo sick! :(

I can't figure out which ingredient is the culprit. There are even some kinds of gluten-free pasta that just kill my stomach when I eat them.

Anyone else ever experience this and have any thoughts?

Thanks!

Well I can't eat most of KINNIKINNICK brand stuff because of the egg content or the risk of egg cc as I am allergic to egg as well as gluten. I looked at the difference in ingredients and noticed there is A LOT MORE STUFF in the KINNIKINNICK brand in comparison to Bob's and Pamela's bread mix! I am not sure which ingredient but if you look... the risks are alot more to choose from. I have problems with many of the prepackaged breads.

KINNIKINNICK:

Ingredients: Water, White Rice Flour, Whole Eggs, Tapioca Starch, Potato Starch, Sugar, Sunflower Oil (May contain Sunflower and/or Canola Oil), Cellulose, Yeast, Dextrose, Glucono Delta Lactone, Sodium Carboxy Methylcellulose, Cellulose, Salt, Pea Protein, Sodium Bicarbonate, Mono and Diglycerides, Vitamin Blend(Thiamine, Vitamin B2, Niacin, Folic Acid, Iron ), Sodium Stearayl Lactylate

Bob's Red Mill gluten-free bread mix

Ingrediens: Garbanzo Bean Flour, Potato Starch, Corn Starch, White Sorghum Flour, Tapioca Flour, Evaporated Cane Juice, Fava Bean Flour, Xanthan Gum, Active Dry Yeast, Potato Flour, Sea Salt, Guar Gum, Soy Lecithin.

Pamela's Baking Mix:

Ingredients

Brown rice flour, white rice flour, cultured buttermilk, natural almond meal (may appear as brown flecks), tapioca starch, sweet rice flour, potato starch, grainless and aluminum free baking powder (sodium bicarbonate, sodium acid pyrophosphate, potato starch), baking soda, sea salt, xanthan gum.

I hope you find what it was and I hope you feel better fast!!!

We certainly are individuals aren't we. :D I have no issues with Kinnickinnick or Pamela's but Bob's makes me curl up in a ball from the pain. I don't tolerate either the bean flour or the sorghum well. I also get ill from soy. It binds me up for days. The bottom line IMHO is that if it bothers you stay away from it. Many of us do have issues with different gluten free ingredients and it can be a chore to figure out what it is that is causing the issue.

I can't eat any of the three :angry:

I'm sensitive to tapioca and legume (pea protein, garbanzo and fava flours, etc). I stick to the Gluten Free Pantry mixes that don't contain those. There are quite a few that don't, actually :)

Soy flour is another thing I watch out for.

      Oh wow! Thanks for this information! I’m going to try the Benfotiamine again and will also add a B-complex to my supplements. Presently, I just take sublingual B12 (methylcobalomin). Is supplementation for celiacs always necessary even though you remain gluten-free and you’re healing as shown on endoscopy? I also take D3, mag glycinate, and try to get calcium through diet. I am trying to bump up my energy level because I don’t sleep very well and feel fatigued quite often. I’m now hopeful that adding the Benfotiamine and B-complex will help. I really appreciate your explanation and advice! Thanks again Knitty Kitty!

      @Hmart, The reason why your intestinal damage was so severe, yet your tTg IgA was so minimal can be due to cutting back on gluten (and food in general) due to worsening symptoms.  The tTg IgA antibodies are made in the intestines.  While three grams of gluten per day for several weeks are enough to cause gastrointestinal symptoms, ten grams of gluten per day for for several weeks are required to provoke sufficient antibody production so that the antibodies move out of the intestines and into the blood stream where they can be measured in blood tests.  Since you reduced your gluten consumption before testing, the antibody production went down and did not leave the intestines, hence lower than expected tTg IgA.   Still having abdominal pain and other symptoms this far out is indicative of nutritional deficiencies.  With such a severely damaged small intestine, you are not absorbing sufficient nutrients, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1, so your body us burning stored fat and even breaking down muscle to fuel your body.   Yes, it is a very good idea to supplement with vitamins and minerals during healing.  The eight essential B vitamins are water soluble and easily lost with diarrhea.  The B vitamins all work together interconnectedly, and should be supplemented together.  Taking vitamin supplements provides your body with greater opportunity to absorb them.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins cannot be stored for long, so they must be replenished every day.  Thiamine tends to become depleted first which leads to Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a condition that doctors frequently fail to recognize.  Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Beriberi are abdominal pain and nausea, but neuropathy can also occur, as well as body and joint pain, headaches and more.  Heart rhythm disruptions including tachycardia are classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  Heart attack patients are routinely administered thiamine now.   Blood tests for vitamins are notoriously inaccurate.  You can have "normal" blood levels, while tissues and organs are depleted.  Such is the case with Gastrointestinal Beriberi, a thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract.  Eating a diet high in carbohydrates, like rice, starches, and sugar, can further deplete thiamine.  The more carbohydrates one eats, the more thiamine is required per calorie to turn carbs into energy.  Burning stored fats require less thiamine, so in times of thiamine shortage, the body burns fat and muscles instead.  Muscle wasting is a classic symptoms of thiamine deficiency.  A high carbohydrate diet may also promote SIBO and/or Candida infection which can also add to symptoms.  Thiamine is required to keep SIBO and Candida in check.   Thiamine works with Pyridoxine B 6, so if Thiamine is low and can't interact with Pyridoxine, the unused B 6 accumulates and shows up as high.   Look into the Autoimmune Protocol diet.  Dr. Sarah Ballantyne is a Celiac herself.  Her book "The Paleo Approach" has been most helpful to me.  Following the AIP diet made a huge improvement in my symptoms.  Between the AIP diet and correcting nutritional deficiencies, I felt much better after a long struggle with not feeling well.   Do talk to your doctor about Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  Share the article linked below. Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thanks, that's a great addition that I hadn't thought of.

      Other diseases, medical conditions, medications and even (for some people) some non-gluten foods can cause villous atrophy. There is also something called refractory celiac disease but it is pretty uncommon.

      knitty kitty asks a very relevant question. So many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even a reduced gluten diet soon before getting formally tested.
