Allergic To Gluten Free Products

Has anyone else notice that they get a bad reaction to so called gluten free products that contain rice flour or maize (cornflour). Even tapioca sets me off.

Off to dietician at Dr.s today and I hope she is going to skin test me. My grandmother was a celiac and my mother had what was diagnosed as IBS. I have hashimoto's disease (underactive thyroid) and apparently it's common for folks like us to have allergies to gluten and dairy (which I have) but this reaction to rice/rice flour and maize/cornflour is driving me nuts (no pun intended). Is this common or is it just me?

There seems to be a small percentage of us, myself included, that react even to gluten free food. I can eat rice and corn on their own when I wash them first. I can eat their flours when I grind it myself, but not in processed gluten free foods. I do a lot of cooking from scratch.

When my body is irritated,I cannot tolerate gluten free baking mixes with tapioca flour, at all.Even on good days, I can't eat much of it without a reaction.But I can eat yucca,the plant it comes from,with no problem.Weirdness.

Thanks for that. it would be very interesting to know what percentage of celiacs have this intolerence so if there's anyone else out there with this allergy please post. After meeting with the dietician my GP has decided to send me to London (probably) to an allergy clinic as his dietician can only devote a half hour slot to me per appointment on the NHS and apparently a proper clinic at a hospital can do a two hour consultation. Ho hum! We shall see.

I don't know how long it's been since you were diagnosed but I've seen many of the "elders" (in knowledge) of this forum suggest eliminating all grains for the first 6 mos. or year, until your body has had a chance to heal. Perhaps you can do a search for more information related to this.

Hi! My daughter who was diagnosed celiac and I (who hasn't had blood tests yet) both ate corn pasta and both had a stomach ache that night.It was like a pit of the stomach ache though, not really intestinal. Almost like an ulcer pain,or gastritis, which I seem to get a couple of times a year. The rice pasta doesn't bother us but the corn, it was like too heavy and harsh? Is that what you mean?

Yes but I get very sleepy and disorientated also if I have any kind of grain including rice, rice flour, corn, corn pasta, any chutney or sauce with cornflour plus intestinal pain. And it can take days to feel right again. But I only discovered this after I had eliminated wheat, oats, rye, barley, spelt, quinoa etc. from my diet.

Those are just a few of the things I was intolerant to. After 8 months gluten free. most have resolved.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
