Pork Chops...probably Nothing But ?!?!?

Bad headaches, mild intestinal upset, fogginess, and lots of fatigue. On the one hand, I could have a sinus infection coming on strong - but on the other hand I'm wondering if I've gotten glutened.

Any ideas if Safeway pork would have anything in it ? I doubt it but it's all I can think of - pork chops my son & I made the other day (canned mandarin oranges, regular spices, pork chops & my rice). Oranges were Safeway...should be safe.

Just wondering, in case there is something I don't know about the pork ! Just that I have eaten some now & then over the last three days & it's gotten worse...seems likely as is seems to be after I eat some of it ! Argh I hate this....

Don't know specifically about this product but the only time I was glutened knowingly was when I ate some pork chops from the Angel Food box of meat. Turns out the pork chops were packaged/processed in some sort of gluten product. It was then that I finally experienced the real pain of a detoxed gluten episode... it's one I hope I never have again. I sure hope you get to feeling better!

Were the pork chops cut and wrapped at the Safeway store or did they come prepackaged? If they were packaged in the meat department at the local store, they could have gotten cc.

They were packaged in store I think - on a styrofoam sheet & wrapped in plastic. I dunno - as I sit here my sinuses are going to explode...maybe seasonal allergies or something ? Kill me now....LOL...very tired, sore, and headachy. Tylenol doesn't touch it & my tummy doesn't like motrin much...been picking stomach discomfort over facial & head pain after a point though.

My stomach (big D) isn't too bad so maybe it wasn't the pork...I wish I knew.

Probably it was the pork itself. I gave it up several weeks ago after reading about the stuff. I have more energy and feel better. Ate the stuff for years and never thought anything of it. If I ate some today, after being away from it for so long, I'd probably get sicker than hell. Want to know what you're really eating? It's pig crap. Pigs eat anything and everything, including their own fecal matter. It's a filthy, filthy animal that no human being should be consuming. Sure, I'll miss ham steaks, crispy bacon, delicious sausage links, and hot dogs off the grill. But every time I see one of these items, I just remind myself what I'm looking at - pig crap.

That doesn't actually make a lot of sense....pig crap ? So if I eat beef I'm eating cow crap ? Fish swim in their own crap...

Anyway, I'm looking at gluten.

I am feeling better. Not sure if it was a virus or the pork...think I'll stay away from the pork for awhile, it's a rare thing for me to eat anyway.

I agree with you that does not make alot of sense. If you really get down and look at things, all animals have something about them. The point is you want to eat product that is handled properly. My husband is a butcher so I'm a little biased and we love our meat!. He is very anal about our meat we buy. I don't even buy it anymore, that chore is left up to him since he is the professional.:lol: It is possible the item was getting close dated and you may be feeling lousy from maybe it being not at it's freshest. Did you season it with anything when you cooked it? Hope you feel better soon.

I love pork and anything made from a pig. When I eat it I notice some pains and such after eating. I asked my nutritionist and she tells me that pork is just a little harder to digest then other meats. Maybe that's why? I just won't eat pork for days in a row, or eat too much at one time.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
