I Feel So Stupid

I have been rooting through the kids halloween candy for things I can eat. I ate about three bite size milky way around 5:30 pm. today. I am sitting here at work and couldn't figure out why I am burping more than usual and feeling the heartburn coming on. DUH, I just realized milkyways are not gluten free that the nougat has barley malt in it! :o I hope it does not last too long, but like I said, that's what I get for raiding the kid's halloween candy. :P

Oh, that's a bummer! I hope you feel better soon! I was lucky that my son asked specifically for gluten-free candies as he went along. Someone gave him a Nestle Crunch, and he said (9 yrs old) "I can't eat this because it has gluten. May I have Starburst instead?" I was very proud of him, and didn't have to take away any of his candy.

Woliki, you should be very proud of your son!

My kids aren't gluten-free. They were nice and offered me some of their gluten-free candy. I had assumed I couldn't have snickers (my favorite) when I started gluten-free. It's been a great Halloween, finding out I can safely eat snickers and 3 musketeers!

Thanks. I just hope it does not shut me down for a week (I get constipated and bloated when glutened). :huh: I have done pretty good on not getting glutened. I have only been glutened twice this year. I'm not counting the reaction I had several months ago from gluten free oats. At least I know I react to those now too. I just can't believe I was that careless today. Oh well. ;) Sounds like your son has things down pat.

You CAN eat the Milky Way Midnight. No barley.

I could have sworn that Milky Way Midnights had gluten when I last checked the ingredients, too. Was I seeing things?

Sorry, I hope you feel better soon!

I ate about 20 mini Snickers this weekend since that was one of the things I knew was safe...but even though it is gluten-free, i should have stayed away....way too much - lol

I got off easy this time. I think it was because I only ate the three mini ones and not a great big huge one. Heartburn went away the next day but the tummy rumbled until today. I think I'm already on the mend. Thanks for the support! Oh I don't really care for dark chocolate, so I don't eat the milkyway midnights. Snickers and butterfingers are the way to go if I want something totally junk food. :lol:

I did the same thing. A full size Butterfingers. They are supposed to be gluten free, but I am still feeling it! I hope I manage to resist next Halloween!

I used to eat butterfingers all the time and never had any problems. Just goes to show you never know how you will react to some things.

I did the SAME exact thing -- only I knew Milky Way's have gluten -- but when I picked three candies from my gluten eating son's bag I was thinking snickers are gluten free and grabbed a milky way instead -- no wonder it tasted so good! Later that night I was bloated up like 8 months pregnant which hasn't happened since going gluten-free -- figured it out and boy did I feel stupid -- fortunately the effects were gone the next morning.

MilkyWay Midnight bars and Butterfinger bars are gluten free. Regular Milky Ways use a barley based nougat in their filling and the Midnight version uses vanilla.

Any reactions would not be gluten related.

      Global Experts Recommend Gluten Reference Dose: What It Means for Celiac Safety (+Video)

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
