Previously Wheat Intolerant - Now Boom!

Hello All:

I am new to the forum.

About 5 years ago, I was diagnosed as wheat intolerant, and now I am a full fledged gluten intolerant person.

I kinda knew that. I feel tons better, I am not experiencing any problems with IBS like I did before and my energy levels

are very strong.

I am happy to embrace the new lifestyle and I was already conversant with and eating lots of alternative grains.

And I do a lot of asian cooking, esp. Indian cooking at home which is relatively gluten free aside from the breads.

So I am not devastated.

But I have a question.

With a lot of the alternative grains, esp. the breads, I am quite gassy and that was not a problem I really had before.

When I eat gluten-free bread, it tends to be rice bread but I also love buckwheat pasta or just straight basmati rice.

But the gassiness is a new thing.

I know that guar gum can have laxative properties but can xanthan gum do the same thing. I had not read anything like that.

I am thinking that some of you might be able to tell me if you had experienced anything like this before.

If you did, did it go away.

And how did you manage to make it go away if it did not go away on its own.

I am a great proponent of Indian cooking as one is able to really avoid gluten.

I am in the process of adapting my beloved chapatis (normally whole wheat flour and gram (ie. chick pea) flour to be buckwheat instead of wheat.

And when I have the recipe and proportions right I will add it to the recipe section.

In the meantime, it's very nice to be here among you all and if anyone is also in Rhode Island and would like to compare notes and likes to bake,

I am happy to reciprocate with some of the gluten-free things I like to make cause I am not a baker, esp. if it contains yeast!!

Try germinated brown rice. Its the only grain I can eat. Regular brown rice is problematic for some reason.

I can certainly try that.

When I eat just rice, I am just fine, somehow I think it could be the gums that is causing that.

But you know sometimes you just want a sandwich with (gluten-free) bread :)

Yes xanthan gum can cause the same problems.

Is your buckwheat pasta 100% buckwheat? I have seen them in the store and they have wheat ingredients with them.

Hi Roda:

Yes, my buckwheat noodles and gluten-free.

I made sure of that before I bought them.

I much prefer them to rice pasta and I like the nuttiness of the flavor too.

Thank you for asking.

Do you use the Eden Organics 100% Buckwheat Pasta? I haven't found any other brand that is 100% and the package just went from $7 to $8 at whole foods. They're so much better tasting than they look but literally quadruple the price.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana
