Glutened Vent

Grr, I've been trying to follow this by the letter but once a week, every week for the past 3 weeks, I get glutened. Today was the day I got glutened again. Every week I try to find the culprit but beginning to think it might be CC - before I blamed Peperami and then Orangina (which I'm not so sure about) but this time for sure I didn't eat anything knowingly with gluten in it yet I'm absolutely shot with tiredness and GI symptoms.

The irony in all of this is that I can actually tell when I'm glutened - before I was tired 24/7 with no respite and I know it's selfish but it's still very frustrating knowing that for the next 3-5 days I'll feel like poo even whilst I'm eating gluten-free.

Anyone else have a day when they are sure they didn't eat anything gluteny yet are equally sure they were glutened?

Two things that come to mind: 1. It could just be that your system is still healing. Sometimes you feel like you got glutened, and you really didn't. Your system is just still out of whack.

2. could you have another intolerance or issue that you are reacting to?

I do know the feeling. We had Mother's Day out on Sunday morning. MIL's choice, certainly not mine. I ordered eggs (after ensuring there was nothing weird on them) and bacon. The bacon had little crumbs on it, but I didn't process that until after I ate it. I have a feeling, that was what got me. :(

I has similar experiences. Finally found out that it was all food intolerances, egg yolks, soy, dairy, and oils. I kept a detailed food journal to nail them down. Hope you find what's hurting you, I know how hard it is.

Okay, it's time to check the shampoo, conditioner, and lipstick. Remember, you can easily ingest small amounts of shampoo, etc., and a lot of that stuff has gluten in it. Wheat is a biggie in shampoos. There are a number of great gluten-free shampoos and conditioners out there. AS for lipstick, I own gluten-free ones, but I don't bother to wear the stuff.

Does orangina contain corn syrup? If so then ... Bingo!! Corn is harvested with the same equipment and stored in the same silos as wheat and they don't clean it out. It is always contaminated. I am always amazed when people here can get away with processed corn. I started doing way better when I stopped eating corn chips and tortillas even though it made me sad

Ah that would probably explain why the corn chips I have that are supposed to be gluten-free seem to bother me!!!! Thanks :)

I can drink Corona and eat Garden of Eaten' cornchips. I also use corn tortillas in my enchiladas without issue. Is it possible that my sensitivity isn't that high?

Would you please cite your source for this information. I have been gluten-free for almost ten years, and this is the first I have heard of it. Oats, yes, oats share harvesters and silos, and are usually contaminated. But the allegation that it is also true of corn is news to me. I eat "processed" corn all the time and have not had a problem. Your source, please.

ETA: You may have a sensitivity to corn as well as gluten. A number of celiacs do, but I am not one of them.

Yes, please. I would also like to know the source of the alleged gluten contamination in corn as this is the very very first I have ever heard of such a thing. (Been gluten-free almost 10 years too!)

Thank you!

      Celiac support is hard to find

      EDIT: I did find a monthly Zoom meeting for Celiacs through the Celiac Disease Foundation, so I'll be able to talk with some other people on January 15. And I also found a Celiac Living podcast on Spotify made by a celiac. I feel a little bit better now and I am still hoping I will find some more personal connections in my area.

      I have been feeling so lonely in this celiac disease journey (which I've only been on for over 4 months). I have one friend who is celiac, and she has been a great help to me.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @mamaof7! It means for the one celiac disease antibody test that was ordered, she tested negative. However, other tests should have been ordered, especially for someone so young who would have an immature immune system where there would be a high probability of being IGA deficient.  The one test that was ordered was an IGA-based antibody test. It is not the only IGA antibody test for celiac disease that can be run. The most common one ordered by physicians is the TTG-IGA. Whenever IGA antibody tests are ordered, a "total IGA" test should be included to check for IGA deficiency. In the case of IGA deficiency, all other IGA tests results will be inaccurate. There is another category of celiac disease antibody tests that can be used in the case of IGA deficiency. They are known as IGG tests. I will attach an article that gives an overview of celiac disease antibody tests. All this to say, I would not trust the results of the testing you have had done and I would not rule out your daughter having celiac disease. I would seek further testing at some point but it would require your daughter to have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months in order for the testing to be valid. It is also possible she does not have celiac disease (aka, "gluten intolerance") but that she has NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, or just "gluten sensitivity" for short) which is more common. The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the lining of the small bowel whereas NCGS does not autoimmune in nature and does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though the two conditions share many of the same symptoms. We have testing to diagnose celiac disease but there are no tests for NCGS. To arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. A gluten free diet is the solution to both maladies.

Ultrasound was normal. Dr ordered celiac blood test. We took her off gluten after blood draw. She is sleeping better, no longer bloated and stools are still off color but not painful.    "GLIADIN (DEAMID) AB, IGA FLU Value  0.84 Reference Range: 0.00-4.99 No further celiac disease serology testing to be performed. INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION: Deamidated Gliadin Peptide (DGP) Ab, IgA A positive deamidated gliadin (DGP) IgA antibody result is associated with celiac disease but is not to be used as an initial screening test due to its low specificity and only occasional positivity in celiac disease patients who are negative for tissue transglutaminase (tTG) IgA antibody."   Anyone know what in the world this means. She isn't scheduled to see GI until late April.

      Hi Trent and Cristiana, thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to me.  My daughters GP requested bloods, they came back as showing a possibility of celiac disease, she advised me to continue feeding gluten as normal and wait on a hospital appointment. When we got that the doctor was quite annoyed that the gp hadn’t advised to go gluten free immediately as she explained that her numbers were so high that celiac disease was fairly evident. That doctor advised to switch to a gluten-free diet immediately which we did but she also got her bloods taken again that day as it made sense to double check considering she was maintaining a normal diet and they came back with a result of 128. The hospital doctor was so confident of celiac disease that she didn’t bother with any further testing. Cristiana, thank you for the information on the coeliac UK site however I am in the Rrpublic of Ireland so I’ll have to try to link in with supports there. I appreciate your replies I guess I’ll figure things as we go I just feel so bad for her, her skin is so sore around her mouth  and it looks bad at an age when looks are becoming important. Also her anxiety is affecting her sleep so I may have to look into some kind of therapy to help as I don’t think I am enough to help. thanks once again, it’s great to be able to reach out xx

I got diagnosed at the beginning of October 2025, so I got hit with all the major food holidays. I think I navigated them well, but I did make a couple mistakes along the way regarding CC. I have been Googling "celiac support groups" for the last couple days and there is nothing in the Northern Illinois area. I might reach out to my GI and dietician, who are through NW Medicine, to see if there are any groups near me. I cannot join any social media groups because I deleted my FB and IG last year and I have no desire to have them back (although I almost made a FB because I'm desperate to connect with more celiacs). I'm glad I have this forum. I am praying God will lead me to more people to relate to. In my opinion, celiac disease is like the only food- related autoimmune disease and it's so isolating. Thanks for walking alongside of me! I'm glad I know how to help my body but it's still not easy to deal with.
