Stomach Upset With Teff?

I made some rolls with teff yesterday, it was my first time cooking with teff and today I had some serious gas, to the point of being painful with stomach cramps. I never really have this type of reaction, and teff is the only new food I can think of. I thought teff was gluten free - any idea what may cause this?

I don't know if this is your situation, but I just posted in another section about buying teff from Azure Standard. I found out after I got it today that it is repackaged by them before sold...on the same equipment as their other grains, which include gluten grains. High chance of CC that won't be taking. Maybe check out the source of your teff?

It is Bob's Red Mill brand so I don't think there it's cross contamination. Also to note, I am not celiac, I am gluten intolerant and never got those symptoms with gluten even, I get other random symptoms.

Have you tried any other brand of teff? It could be that you are intolerant to teff. I tested intolerant to several foods that I've never eaten. I wasn't tested for teff so when I do try it, it will be a gamble. I want to broaden my list of grains so will give it a try one of these days.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      I forgot to mention that exercise also triggers it, except for the period right before I tried the gluten challenge where I could do moderately intense workouts without getting this burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days afterwards.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am 30 years old, female, and have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and suspected celiac disease (wasn't able to complete a gluten challenge, but have the symptoms and HLA-DQ8) or at least some kind of gluten sensitivity. When I first got diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, I went on AIP and never reintroduced gluten. Whenever I would eat a little bit of gluten I would wake up feeling very old, achy, and unrested, with a burning sensation everywhere especially on my hip bones and chest area. It felt like severe inflammation. This would also happen during stressful times and times where I hadn't been sleeping well.  This symptom had decreased in intensity and completely gone away before I tried to do a gluten challenge over a month ago. Now it is back and I have it every day when I wake up. It usually goes away or decreases in intensity after a few hours of being awake. Is this inflammation or something else, and is it related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis or celiac (or gluten sensitivity) or both? Could it be related to not moving for long periods of time (as is the case when I am sleeping)? I was also extremely sensitive to all foods when I first started AIP about 3 or 4 years ago, but with time, I could tolerate more foods and even gluten in small amounts occasionally. Now my stomach is super sensitive, I am afraid to eat again, and my stools are abnormal. Thank you.

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @MagsM Did your doctor do the DGP IgG and DGP IgA tests or the tTg IgG test.  It looks like he just tested total IgG.   Were you taking any medications or over the counter stuff before the test?  Some can suppress the immune system and cause false negatives.
