Question About Nausea And Sensitivity


siligurl

Recommended Posts

siligurl Rookie

Howdy! I am borderline with celiacs... IgA low, suggestive of celiacs, and variety of health ailments suggest gluten sensitivity. However, allergy test (IgG, I think) showed negative wheat allergy and positive egg allergy.

OK. So I had some (i think) foccacia cheese rolls this week-- no problem. Had a hamburger bun with BBQ yesterday afternoon for lunch-- no problem. For dinner, had a slice of Nature's Own Honeywheat bread and instantaneously became nauseous. I remember that when I used to occasionally eat bagels for breakfast, would almost always become nauseous, but assumed that was IBS since I was diagnosed with that (before I met a friend who's a doctor with gluten sensitivity).

What are your thoughts... Why would the roll and bun not make me sick, but the bread did? Particular ingrediant you think? Do you think this seems to indicate a gluten sensitivity??

Best, Jennifer

All I can tell you is there's no egg in Nature's Own honey wheat bread Open Original Shared Link and none in bagels unless it was an egg bagel. Was the bagel maybe whole wheat? It sounds like you might benefit from trying the gluten-free diet. You don't have to have celiac disease for it to do you good.

Thanks for replying... egg was the first thing I thought to check too... The bagel was a plain bagel by Sara Lee, white.... so was the hambuger bun. I just can't really see that much of a difference between the items to see. I suppose the bagel might have had egg in it, but I can't find a list of ingredients. The burger bun just doesn't seem that much different from the bread, but it just really fit the typical reaction to a food sensitivity. It's just weird... I've had several items today containing wheat, gluten, soy, and dairy without any problems.

I dislike the idea of putting my family through a gluten-free diet IF there's no need to... but obviously there was something in that bread. :(

Another thing to think about is that a gluten reaction can happen any time up to 3 or 4 days after ingesting the gluten. So it may very well be that when it appeared that you were reacting to the bagel or to the wheat bread that you were in fact reacting to something you had eaten days earlier. If you want to investigate further, there are certainly other tests to try, including genetic tests and stool tests available on the Internet. Google, or look around on this discussion board for further info.

Hmm... i didn't know that... makes you wonder tho. I haven't had anything "bad" for me all day, but just had a scoop of slim fast shake in a smoothie and instantly have severe, painful gas. So it was like a holy sh** moment of what the hell am I allergic to now... or was there secretly eggs in it... and there's not, but it does say it may contain wheat. It's the only "wheat" i've had all day... related? i don't know... but I know i've been having less and less as I cut out carbs for dieting, so if there is a sensitivity, i'm certainly reducing my tolerance just by dieting.

thoughts?

thank you, since i haven't said it already, for helping and the insight!

best, jennifer

Did the allergist test you for dairy allergies? And you're quite welcome.

Nausea is one of my symptoms when I accidentally ingest gluten. In fact, it was my worst symptom. You could try taking it out of your diet for 2 weeks and see how you feel.

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
