Tell Me About Fruit Issues (Esp. Pears)

I totally thought my issue was and ingredient in my gluten-free breakfast muffins, but it happened again. I feel like I'm going to pass out from the abdominal pain. It could be a coincidence, but this is the second time in a row I've been in pain 1-2 hours after eating a pear. They weren't from the same grocery store. Can someone give me the short version of what problems people have with fruit? I've never really read a lot of those threads because I've never even suspected issues with it.

I can eat apples, pears, strawberries, cranberries, grapefruit, lemons, limes, and other berries with no problems. But melon? Oh my! The stomach pain is so horrible I can barely move. I'm not allergic. So I don't know what it is. Someone surmised it was sorbitol. I don't do well with that.

Pears are really high in sorbitol. Thats strange about the whole fruits things ;)

I didn't realize it was naturally occurring. I cut out gum a while back because I thought I was getting too much extra junk, including sweeteners.

I just searched and found this because I have been getting much worse the last month instead of that slow steady improvement I have been experiencing over the last 18 months. Horrible symptoms and I was getting that never ending hunger as well as various manifestations of D. Sunday night, after watching some videos on the new Dr. Osborne site I decided to cut out all fruit for a few days. I figured it would be terrible since it has been so much of my caloric intake. I am now into the second day of virtually no gas, bloating, D. Didn't realize how much my vision was being affected as well. Just in time as I have a trip to go on for the next several days. Nothing but meat and veggies for the trip, I guess. Oh, I am now satisfied and full after eating.. in fact, I can hardly make it through a full plate of food. Three days ago, when I would finish, I would head back in to the kitchen and graze on everything for a post meal meal that would leave me even hungrier that before the meal. I suppose I will try to reintroduce a fruit or two after a month or so to see if maybe it was an issue with one particular type or not. I know I have said nothing about pears but that's that FWIW.

Try googling Fructose Malabsorption.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      I would like to say you saved me. I’ve been so sick the last few years, celiac since 1997. And reading your post about the other glutens/grains that can be sensitive to celiacs, is the only thing that has ever helped me. Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is 85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a...

      Curious if I should quit my job

      I 100% believe if you were sticking gluten items, especially flour, and breathed it in you could be glutened. I’m a celiac for almost 30 years. For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the a...

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked...

      Advice please

      This. Scott said it beautifully. Document and start a trial gluten-free diet. I can also recommend an inflammation dietitian I saw last summer if interested. She’s the only one who helped me on a path to healing through an elimination diet. Which is tricky with your little one. But I completely trust her, she’s very expensive though. I figured out I’m se...

      I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me ...

Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is  85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a long story but was impossible. I definitely am like you. Thank you so very much for posting. For some of celiacs I do believe this is the magic key.

But the flour is in the air. And I’d get violently ill for 1-2 weeks after the last few years I did it. Wearing a back is a great suggestion and washing your clothes and showering when you get home. Good luck. And I’m so sorry your parents are emotionally supporting you.

      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked sooner and fixed through medication, maybe things would look different. Who knows. I only share my experience so you question your doctors and advocate. Always see an endocrinologist for thyroid care fyi. Actually always see the specific Dr for your specific ailments. I’d also consider seeing a gynecologist that specializes in...

She’s the only one who helped me on a path to healing through an elimination diet. Which is tricky with your little one. But I completely trust her, she’s very expensive though. I figured out I’m sensitive to so many things and follow a gluten-free diet religiously. Just had an upper and lower endoscopy/colonoscopy and zero signs of celiac disease so they said. I’m a celiac since 1997. But my 33 yr old daughter is very gluten intolerant since 20 yrs old.

I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me but there was no clinical evidence to support my reactions(I felt so unseen, she recommended I see a gut psychologist, what the heck).
