After Drinking A Jones Soda?

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. :]

What were the ingredients in the corn cakes?

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.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
