I gave up coffee for some time before I could have it in small quantity. Some people have their guts very damaged so they become very sensitive. Coffee may irritate your gut, as spices or vinegar do. Try not to drink coffee for a while, or take it with lactose-free milk if you can (just one small cup). :)

i have had the same problem with coffee- the dizziness, etc could be from the caffeine. i was drinking regular coffee in the mornings because i was so exhausted all the time. now that the exhaustion has diminished eating gluten-free, i switched to decaf. i just like the taste of coffee and it has become part of my morning ritual. switching to decaf doesn't make me have to go to the bathroom like the regular does!

I wondered if the very sensitive people to small amounts of gluten could list a few products that they know are safe and thye have no problem with . Like I am wondering what brand of baking cocoa people use, or brands of cookies etc that you know are safe. I am to the point of being scared to try new things.

Hershey's cocoa power (baking cocoa) is safe for me at least. I make my own (drinking) cocoa using coconut milk. Cookies we bake ourselves mostly, but the few we buy are from Pamela's.

I have not been able to drink tea or coffee it just seems to really make my stomach hurts and burns. Is Pamelas a totaly gluten free facility? Also is Glutino totaly gluten free facility? I have been reading about Udis and it seems like it is all totaly gluten free . I did try a Udi's blueberry muffin and all was fine.

Pamela's and Glutino are both dedicated facilities.

Your gluten-free journey sounds so familiar. When people first try going gluten free, they're so accustomed to having processed foods in their diet, they look for gluten-free versions. It gives them comfort to eat like "they used to." Unfortunately, we continue to crave our old eating patterns, and it's difficult to change that without feeling deprived and bitter. I can honestly say that I was a bitter person for the first two years after being diagnosed with celiac, because I missed some of my favorite foods so very much (donuts, sourdough bread, cereals, croissants, pizza, ravioli, mac and cheese, etc.). However, over time, I lost my taste for these items. Now that there are gluten-free versions of everything I used to eat except croissants, I still rarely purchase them because I simply have very little interest in them anymore. Once you've spent some time eating a diet of unprocessed foods, believe me--you probably won't crave processed foods anymore. They just have a yucky, foreign consistency. So....don't bother to buy those cereals at all. Cook up some eggs or make a soup or salad. When your health is good, everything else seems good, too.

BTW, do you happen to live in Northern California? We have a few support groups around the S.F. Bay Area. Perhaps you can find a support group near you, too (??). Then you wouldn't have to rely on "Netland."

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.
