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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.
