What The Hell Was That?

As I've mentioned, I'm giving up dairy, so I made my last pizza last night. Of course, it being the last one, I finally got it right. (Anybody needing tips for making pizza with Chebe bread, I'm the boy to ask.) But I spent the evening more keyed up than I've been since quitting gluten almost two years ago. All the well-known stuff: e.g., I didn't get a joke and spent the whole evening beating myself up about it. Standard social anxiety fare.

The thing is, it was exactly the same pizza I'd made last Thursday with no adverse reactions other than the usual mega-pooting. I did put on more mozzarella (had to use it up after all) and maybe more pepperoni. It's Hormel turkey pepperoni. I didn't see any MSG in the ingredient list. Could it have been the nitrites? I'm stumped. Obviously, it's not a high priority question, as my pizza days are behind me, but I'm still curious. Any thoughts?

Nightshades (peppers, tomatoes, potatoes)? Also for me, I experience the anxiety and panic attacks from Soy almost as badly as I do with gluten.

I certainly hope not. Anyway, I never had the problem before, including making an identical pizza five days earlier. The only difference is that I cooked it longer, so if there's anything nasty in there that only comes out if the ingredient is cooked (or in the case of the pepperoni, overcooked), that would be it. Otherwise, nothing weird at all. The last time this happened it was a caffeine dealio when I made breakfast bars with chocolate chips in them and got so amped I had to give the rest away. Maybe I'm allergic to baking.:)

Regardless, thanks for the reply.

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Thank you so much for your response! It's been a challenging journey with this condition!

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.

      A nutritionist typically focuses on general wellness, lifestyle guidance, and preventative health. A dietician allowed to provide medical nutrition therapy. When i was diagnosed there was zero support and few dieticians and Dr understood celiac disease.  I typically guide a newly diagnosed celiac to a whole food diet to easily transition to the gluten free lifestyle

      Your gluten-free journey sounds like a lot of trial and error—especially working in a deli where gluten exposure is constant! The eye-watering issue could be an airborne gluten sensitivity (like flour dust irritating your eyes) or even a mild wheat allergy, since you’re around it daily. A daily antihistamine (like Claritin or Zyrtec) might help if it’s allergy-related, but avoiding airborne gluten as much as possible (masking, washing hands/face often) is key. It’s great you’re tracking triggers—high-fiber foods and certain gluten-free substitutes (like those tortillas or PB pretzels) can sometimes cause similar symptoms due to additives or digestive adjustments. For travel, pack safe snacks (protein bars, nuts) and research gluten-free translation cards for Aruba. On flights, opt for packaged gluten-free meals or eat beforehand. Many gluten-free foods and baking mixes contain xanthan gum or other gums like guar gum. Although they are both gluten-free, they may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:   You’re doing all the right prep—trust your research and enjoy your trips!
