Hi all. I just ate some Stonyfield Organic Cream on Top Strawberries and Cream yogurt and

am having a reaction to it. Is this unusual? I emailed them and asked if it's gluten free.

They wrote me back (and even gave me a link to this site!!) :)

Hello Connie,

Thanks for contacting us about our gluten-free products. We know that

choosing foods can be difficult for those with celiac disease, and we

It might have been from the strawberries. I have had problems with strawberry ice cream (gluten free). Sometimes strawberries are grown on straw and it seems like some more sensitive celiacs like me can have problems with produce grown on straw. Thanks for the head up. I eat that brand of yogurt and I have been suspecting it lately. I had already decided to do an elimination study on it, and now I know I am doing the right thing.

Yeah, I had about 3 spoons of it and my bottom lip got that numb feeling and i got dizzy and my legs felt funny, so I would say it probably is the strawberries maybe. It is good, though, that now that I am going gluten free, I am SO aware of how I feel. I actually LIKE it! Keeps things from building up, I suppose :P

Thanks for the info from Stonyfields. That's great that they use an even more strict set point than the proposed "Gluten-Free" limit of 20ppm. That lip sensation is kinda odd, doesn't sound specifically like a gluten intolerance related problem. Was it a somewhat sudden thing or did you notice the symptoms starting a few hours after consumption?

If anything, I personally know that it's possible to be allergic to strawberries. It's one of the items on the list I test positive for and an allergic reaction would have occurred shortly after consumption as opposed to the lengthy onset of an intolerance related problem.

Additionally, aren't you only a few days into your gluten-free diet? Hell if you're in the first week still then you shouldn't expect to be able to attribute anything you feel to what you're eating. Most people go through withdrawal that involves your body reacting to just about everything including water for the first week or so.

REALLY? I didn't know that or I don't understand that :unsure: Yesterday I reacted to coffee and today to this yogurt. This is good information, but that's normal? Why? Because there's still toxins in my system?

Yesterday my right pinky finger got sore and swollen and when I woke up today, it's normal.

I know this, I'm being a big ol' B-you-know-what today. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm the sweetest girl, everyone loves me, I'm funny as all get out and I'm acting like a raging lunatic this evening. This is NOT me at all! I just broke my friend's frigerator cuz I slammed it so hard. I fixed it too.

Is this normal? OMG - I'm being a monster! And I just said something hateful to my daughter. Is this normal? Is this a part of it?

You really do have to give your body a couple of weeks to detox from the gluten. In the meantime, the mood problems can probably be attributed to gluten withdrawal. Gluten acts like an opioid to our bodies, and the body does not like being deprived of something it is used to having and is addicted to. Just apologize profusely to everyone and tell them you won't be yourself for the next two or three weeks, but you just can't help it :)

Good, high quality dark chocolate reacts in; your brain and can help you feel better. My first 2weeks, I had a headache and was depressed. The chocolate helped. Also, find little things to be happy about, like your flowers growing better then expected or that gluten-free pretzels are really good with almond butter..

The human body is a ridiculously complicated matter. For each little thing you do wrong to it, it will find a dozen or more ways to compensate for the offense and keep you running. Some of these compensations are immediate, some take longer to fully balance out. When you remove a negative stimulus that has been constantly been forcing your body to make adjustments, your body can not just immediately go back to "normal" operating status on all systems without causing a huge amount of stress.

I used to eat the plain and vanilla yogurt without problems. I am still doing a dairy free trial so I'm not consuming any right now. When I do reintroduce dairy, yogurt will probably be one of the first things I try.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
