Glutened And Felt...nothing!?

I have been gluten free for 2 years now and the diet has definitely made a huge impact on my health and well being. I have never cheated or knowingly ingested gluten, so I wasn't sure what my reaction would be. Yesterday I had 2 sips of a soup that I thought was safe and then found out it had soy sauce in it. I was interested to see my reaction, but surprisingly I felt nothing! The only thing I noticed was this morning I woke up with red eyes.

I never had a biopsy done so I'm starting to get worried...does anyone else not have a reaction when they eat gluten? Or is it possible to eat a small amount and not do any damage?

Thanks :)

Jenna

I've done the same exact thing. Last week I ate a small "taste cup" of soup, probably 2-3 tbls, at Central Market (Whole Foods x 2). The little ingredients sign did not list any wheat. Boy, was it delicious. So, I decided to buy some to take over to my Mothers. The full printout label listed "gluten (soy, wheat, corn)". :o Yikes!

No reaction though. I'm guessing the actual amount of gluten in your soup or mine, especially given the small amount of soup we consumed, was very minute, if any at all. Certainly not enough to cause any damage.

Just goes to show though. One can't be too careful.

best regards, lm

Not all soy sauces contain gluten :) It may have been gluten-free after all, or you're lucky and have a very mild reaction.

Cheers,

No it had wheat listed as an ingredient. I guess I'm just lucky! All this time I've been stressing about crumbs and sharing pots and pans...guess maybe I can relax a bit.

Remember that if you have celiac disease even if you don't have symptoms you are still doing damage to your body.

But you are lucky that you won't suffer so much if you accidentally get glutened :)

I'd still stay as safe as reasonably possible because you never know. I've mostly had only very mild reactions if I have some minor CC or no symptoms at all, but I still play it safe because its hard to say what could happen. One day you get little to nothing on a response, the next it could be totally different.

My thought is that you have healed and that you are in what some of us call "remission".

It might take repeated gluten exposure for you to be symptomatic.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
