My Doctor diagnosed me with Celiac based on my many symptoms and very postitive blood tests and i have been eating gluten free for about a week and 1/2. i felt SO much better after just 3 days...truely amazing...at a week i felt like a new person, not 100% but probably 80% better. Then last night my tummy started to roll...and grumble and roll and grumble...i got the nasty burps and then diarrhea all morning. Do you suppose i got glutened..or should i expect flare ups of my old symptoms for a while yet? i realize im not even close to being healed but im curious because i felt so much better and then had this set back...

I have beenn gluten free since September 2009 and I still get caught by something and it can take up to 72 hours for it to hit. If you eat out you can "glutened" very easily- I went with my husband to Cheddars a couple of weeks ago and explained that I was gluten intolerent and had Celiac and if they put anything with wheat, rye or barley near my food I would become seriously ill -

I ordered a salad and a baked potato. The salad came with their delicious honey butter roll lying on my salad!

I immediately sent it back to the kitchen asking for a completely new bowl and salad with NO bread - I think they just took the roll off and brought me the same bowl back because about 2 1/2 days later I had a severe attack - and was in bed for 3 days. My symptoms are not diarreah now but vomiting. Phenergan and sleep are the only things that help.

Expect flare ups no matter how careful you are and watch for cross contamination - it can happen so very easily!

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Janet McAlpin! Using the gluten-free label doesn't mean there is 0 gluten in a product. It means there is <20ppm of gluten according to FDA standards. So, it is not surprising that there is some gluten in this product. What is the sensitivity of the ELISA test you are using? And the NIMA device has a reputation for giving erratic results.

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Janet McAlpin · Posted

      Hello all, I have been using Elisa tests to slowly go through many ingredients in my kitchen to confirm they are gluten-free. Today, after eating Bob's Red Mill TVP, I didn't feel great. I decided to test it and the result found gluten. I am going to test all the Bob's Red Mill products I use regularly with the Elisa tests. I have found them to be quite accurate. I also use NIMA and can't wait for them to be back! I'll keep you posted! Janet

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      Thank you for your reply Knitty Kitty (from a fellow knitter) My TSH and T4 is within normal range, and has been checked along with the rest of my bloodwork consistently over the past many years. I am very aware of Hashimoto's since my mom has it  (she does not have celiac disease, her other autoimmune disease is diabetes (which I am monitored for but don't have - I "only" have allergies).  And yes - I eat iodized salt to protect my thyroid. Good suggestions though and thank you for the links.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/

      @Mettedkny, Have you had your thyroid checked lately?  People with thyroid problems like Hashimoto's thyroiditis produce tTg IgG antibodies whether exposed to gluten or not.  Hashimoto's is another autoimmune disease frequently found with Celiac disease.  Do you eat iodized salt or sea salt?   P. S.  Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/
