I am new to the gluten-free/cf diet. I have been following the diet very carefully and cautiously for almost a week now. I cannot return to eating gluten and dairy as it has caused many health issues for me. anyway, i made bobs red mill gluten-free whole grain bread today. Had half a slice. 10-15 minutes later, had stomach cramps and diarreah. Has anyone had a similar experience? could it have been the fiber content?

For many recently gluten free persons all grains can potentially cause problems. I would recommend that you eat pure simple, unprocessed foods until healing has taken place and reintroduce processed grains gradually. Rice is usually well tolerated by most, preferably brown for the nutrition and fiber.

I'm also just about a week and a half into gluten free and had the same reaction to a Bob's Red Mill product the other day. Also to some gluten free spaghetti. I then took out everything processed, dairy, and soy. A day or two later, it seemed I became intolerant of EVERYTHING! It didn't matter what it was. My theory is that the body has to sort of "detox" the gluten if it's sensitive to it, kind of like a poison...but that's just my theory. I'm just starting to feel a bit better! :D If it gets worse like most people say, I can't imagine how my body's going to respond after several months and then an accidental glutening! :rolleyes: Hope you feel better soon and don't keep getting worse like I did, but if so...hang in there! It WILL get better!!

Blessings!

I can eat Bob's Red Mill bread made with the mix every day with no problems. But other brands of bread, pasta, etc. just kill me. You'll probably just have to do quite a bit of experimenting to find what works for you. Unfortunately, these gluten issues affect every single one of us differently. :)

I have the same problem with BRM whole-grain mix, and I've been gluten-free for three months now. I think I'll relinquish the rest of the loaf I just made to my boyfriend, who I think secretly believes I'm holding out on him with the good bread. :) I don't have problems with Pamela's or Gluten Free Pantry mixes.

it took me six months before i could eat anything processed without being sick. 6 months! so give yourself a few more weeks of eating fruits and veggies and other whole foods and maybe your stomach and intestines can heal. i tried certified gluten free oats at 6 months and they made me sick.... at 2 and a half years i tried them again and now i can eat them with no issues. some things will not be okay until you are further into the healing process. it gets better though. i reintroduced dairy at 10 months i believe and havent had any dairy issues since then. good luck!

Are you using "post" celiac utensils as opposed to pre-celiac utensils? I threw out all my wooden spoons, pitted plastics and anything that I was afraid couldn't be scoured completely clean of gluten.

Thank you all for your replies. I did go through all the utensils-fortunately most were stainless steel. I guess I will just eventually figure out what I can and cannot tolerate. I have been gluten-free/CF since 8/5/09 and will tell you I feel really good! :)

Last I knew Bobs Red Mill processes their gluten free oats in their gluten free facility. If you are one of us celiacs who is also sensitive to oats, you may be reacting to cross contamination from oats. I avoid Bobs Red Mill products for this reason.

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
