After Drinking A Jones Soda?


revenant

Recommended Posts

I've been gluten free for a week now, 3 hours ago I ate a lot of organic corn cakes, and then a couple of minutes ago I was drinking a Jones Soda when I was overcome with body sores, a fast/loud heartbeat and diarrhea??

I've heard people are sensitive to corn, and sometimes sugar, but how do I know whether I was sensitive to the corn, or something in the Soda? Is it possible that I get those effects immediately while drinking it, like 2 minutes after? Is it more likely that it would be the corn seeing it would have made it to my intestines?

God, this is getting so hard!!! Now it's gluten, milk, and either corn or sugar.... how do you people manage? My family is quite poor and it's really impossible to buy quality, gluten free foods while maintaining fruits and veggies in the house. SIGGH. :(

On the up side I did find some amazing soy free milk free icecream made only of coconut milk, cocoa, and agave nectar. :]

Organic corn, sesame oil, sea salt.

There could be a couple of things going on. First not all sodas are gluten-free, most are but not all. You are also early into the diet. If you made the corncakes yourself were they cooked in pans that had been used for gluten breads? Gluten residue may have been present in the pans or on the utensils you used especially if you use cast iron or wooden utensils. You also mention you ate a lot of them, it may have been to much for your system handle. If you are only a week into the diet you are far from healed yet. Many of us have ups and downs at first. If the corn meal was processed in a plant that also processes wheat flour it also could have been cross contaminated in the factory. Another thing may be that you are reacting to something you ate yesterday or even the day before. As you can see it may be hard at times to really pinpoint what 'got' us, especially in the beginning.

Was the corn product specifically marked "gluten free ?"

Oh, and how do we do it ?

Trial and error, and a lot of research/experimentation, but it gets easier.

I find a lot of processed things marked "organic" but not "gluten free" can be problematic. Normal vegetarians eat a lot of bread and the "healthier" labeling is often designed to appeal to them.

You may be able to handle some lactose free dairy once you are healed up. I can eat a lot of stuff now that I couldn't go near before, once I got rid of the real culprit.

      Hi @terrymouse Generally, after a Celiac Seriology Blood Test, if something anomalous shows up, the follow-up will be a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinonogist will be looking to see if you still have (Villi). Villi are Tenticles/Hairs that are prevalent throughout the small intestine; their function is to extract nutrients, vitamins and water. The absense of Villi will typically result in watery bowl movements, other telltale signs being, lethargy, feeling cold, always hungry (valuable nutrients are being bypassed). I was diagnosed 12 years ago. One other thing associated with an AutoImmune Disease, they generally have a companion, in my case I have Hypothyroidism, other may have Hyperthyroidism (Hashimoto's). Others may get Eczema, or some other skin disorder, usually due to not getting the proper nutrition your body needs.   HTH Mark.

      Thank you Knitty Kitty,   I have all the information for the nutritionist sitting in front of me, but I've procrastinated.   Between you and Scott - I'll contact him tomorrow and get started on a better me.   Thank you both for all the support and information.

      Hi, @jeriM, I can attest to Celiac and eye problems being connected!  There's a higher rate of Sjogren's Syndrome in Celiac people than in those without celiac disease.  Sjogren's Syndrome causes dry eyes and can even lead to dry mouth which can alter taste and smell.  Have your doctor check for Sjogren's.  Correct low Vitamin D, which regulates the immune system.  Talk to your nutritionist about including in your diet plenty of Omega Three's. Omega Three's help keep our eyes moist and lubricated.  You know how oil floats on water, same thing with our eyes!  Fun fact:  Our eyes are derived from the same sort of tissues as our digestive tract in a developing fetus. Oh, check your thyroid function, too.  Hashimoto's thyroiditis frequently occurs with Sjogren's. Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster in celiac disease.  I also have Diabetes type two.   Discuss with your nutritionist the benefits of a low histamine diet.  A low histamine diet can help reduce inflammation and gets those inflammation markers down.  I like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal health. Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Ah, Scott,    Ha ha!  Thats almost a reasonable assumption given the prices during the shortage.  However, our eggs?  We always gave them away to friends and seniors we know, so no mansion here.  Now we have to buy eggs like everyone else.   The house we found, we loved so much that it made it worth it for us to give up the chickens.  A hard decision.

      Claritin is an allergy medication which can help with allergy symptoms, but may not be helpful with gluten exposure.
