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.

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      I eat a lot of dairy but its intermittent is this burning so I would assume it would happen all the time. Plus I have been tested for lactose intolerance etc and I am fine and the other symptoms of that I don't get. As a aside my dad died last month after a long illness so I wonder if the stress of that might be a influence as a bodily reaction to stress...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      You should be fine. You may start feeling better within a few days. Someone who is very low in thiamine may notice improvement within hours. Did you get the NeuroMag or another magnesium supplement?

      Yes Bobs redmill cgf oatmeal I started when I became gluten-free. So taking all 3 with breakfast should work? Will I notice any reactions getting used to these or should I be fine. Thanks

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      Hello, @pilber309, welcome to the forum! Are you currently consuming dairy? You mentioned something about lots of yogurt and cheese, but did you cut it out or are you eating lots of it? Could you clarify please? Some people with Celiac react to casein, the protein in dairy the same as to gluten with antibodies and villi damage.
