Glutened Vent


Leper Messiah

Recommended Posts

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!

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
