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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By par18 · Posted

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
