We had a barbecue yesterday. I used Kraft Mayo, French's regular yellow mustard, Bush's baked beans with maple syrup, the regular potatoes, boiled eggs in a potato salad, my own homemade pickle relish, Heinz ketcup, I drank a Hire's Brand Root Beer. I ate a plain hamburger patty - no bun - not even near a bun. I ate part of a smoked sausage - no brand name, so that might have been it. I got so bloated I thought I was six months pregnant and I just don't feel good.

If your hamburger was cooked right on the grill, it may have got contaminated from previuos cooking (epecially if anyone has warmed up their buns on the grill). To prevent getting sick from contaminated grills, I either wash the grill very well or cook my food on tinfoil.

We used my own brand new Weber bbq - so no possible way of having gluten on the bbq. We do not cook any buns on the grill ever!!! I also ate some potato chips, but don't remember the brand - the ingredient list was simple - potatoes and salt and oil.

My money is on the sausage. You never know what fillers they might put in. Hope you feel better soon!

I agree that it was probably the sausage, and it could have also been the chips. A lot of them have cross contamination issues due to being made on the same lines, etc. A few of the wrong chips and I am VERY sick. Plus the wrong sausage!!

Feel better soon!!! The rest of the meal sounded yummy!! ;)

Yeah it may have been the chips, a lot of chips are contaminated. Some companies produce them on the same line as gluten chips. Let us know if you remember the brand.

Was the potato salad homemade?? Could have been that or the sausage, or maybe both.

Good idea... homemade mayonnaise can have wheat in it.

I've never heard of Hire's brand root beer, so I can't comment on whether it is gluten-free or not, but I wanted to comment on the root beer. My middle child has always had a very sensitive stomach, so it was not surprising when he came back with the most intestinal damage. He gets a severe stomachache from rootbeer, event he gluten-free kind. There must be something in the formulation that doesn't agree with him. He gets very bloated, and has a bad achy stomach, then lots of gas afterwards.

Just a thought. It could have been the sausage or the potato salad.

God bless,

Mariann

Anything that pickled like Relish will bloat you up. When I eat a pickle I'll go up on the scale about 5 pounds. Also the mustard can do this to you. Now the Root Beer - I don't know anything about this brand but know that most all root beer have gluten. And the smoked sausage could have gluten as well - they load these up with so many preservatives like when you buy sandwich meat and with celiac your body sometimes can't handle all the different stuff is has to break down.

I have a problem with Bush's beans because they contain corn syrup and I have an intolerance to corn. I get a bad taste and nausea after eating.

Most everything was homemade - I used Kraft Mayo - and there was nothing naughty on the label. Actually, I read the smoked sausage label, and ya know, there was nothing bad in it. HOWEVER, the next day, I drank a sip of that root beer, and stomach ache almost immediately. So I do think it was the root beer. Barque's doesn't seem to bother me. The rest of the bottle of Hire's root beer headed on down the drain!

Thanks for all the replies - you guys are great!

Barq's Root Beer has gluten in it.

no it doesn't . It is a Coca Cola product and IS listed as gluten free.

Hire's is listed as gluten free as well.

It wouldn't have been the mayonnaise then, Kraft will clearly indicate gluten on the ingredient list.

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      People with coeliac disease have an altered gut biome compared with those who do not, which may be associated with gut inflammation. Although the gut biome recovers on a gluten-free diet, there are still significant differences at 2 years. In a mouse model of coeliac disease, supplementation with the soluble dietary fibre, inulin, increased the number of beneficial microbes and reduced gut inflammation. Inulin is used by some plants as carbohydrate store, it is a complex polymer of fructose in the same way that starch is a complex polymer of glucose. Inulin cannot be digested by humans but serves as food source for some gut bacteria. Inulin is present in many vegetables but the richest sources are (g/100g): chicory root 41.6 Jerusalem artichoke 18.0 dandelion greens 13.5 garlic 12.5 leeks 6.5 onions 4.3 The Scientist: Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      Shaking/Tremors and Off Balance

      By suek54 · Posted

      Hi Ginger38 Well done you for pushing through the pain barrier of eating gluten, when you know each mouthful is making you poorly.  I went through the same thing not long ago, my biopsy was for dermatitis herpetiformis. Result positive, so 95% certain I have gut coeliacs too. But my bloods were negative, so very pleased I went for the gluten challenge and biopsy.  Hang on in there. Sue

      Has someone experienced discrimination because of their illness?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      When symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or low energy change how we interact, others sometimes misinterpret that as disinterest, rudeness, or negativity—especially if they don’t understand the underlying condition. That doesn’t make their behavior okay, though. You don’t deserve to be treated poorly for something outside your control. Often, it reflects a lack of awareness or empathy on their part, not a fault in you. It can help to explain your condition to people you trust, but it’s also completely valid to set boundaries and distance yourself from those who respond with hostility. Your experience—and your reaction to it—makes sense. The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      HLA-DQ2 POSITIVE it's nothing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Being HLA-DQ2 positive doesn’t diagnose celiac disease by itself, but it does mean he has the genetic potential for it, so it absolutely deserves careful follow-up if symptoms or concerns are present. You’re right that celiac is often downplayed, but it’s a serious autoimmune condition—not an allergy—and it can affect the brain, nervous system, and overall health if untreated. Given everything your son has been through, you’re doing the right thing by advocating and asking questions. I would strongly recommend getting a full copy of his records, and if possible, consulting a gastroenterologist who understands celiac disease well so you can get clear answers and, if needed, proper testing and monitoring.

      Juce Super Fruit & Veggie Vitamin Blend

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I don't recommend barley or wheat grass, even though technically speaking if it's made using ONLY the pure grass it is gluten-free, however, I've witnessed them make it at Jamba Juice and the seeds/kernels often get mixed into the grass before they juice it, so in that case would not be safe.
