What Is Causing My Problems?

I find myself getting stomach aches after I eat sometimes & not sure what caused it. I will start a food diary... I know I need to it's just that it's another thing on my list of things to do...

I eat Rice Noodle fried in Canola oil, Garlic Powder & Himalayan Salt. I also put some pork chop in it that was fried in the same stuff... Oh, & I had 2 small baked potatoes... I have been dairy free also so no sour cream or anything. I seem to have problems with either rice, garlic or the oil... Course if I kept a diary I'd of pinpointed it by now probably...

Also, I haven't had any tests for food allergies or anything. I had a blood test for Celiac which was negative. But I have always been allergic to Wheat Starch & Wheat Gluten. They give me horrible stomach pain & then it's like I have the worst flu ever for about2 days... Of course I haven't had a reaction to it for 10 years now. But Definitely allergic... Now since going gluten free a few weeks ago I have found that any gluten makes my stomach crampy, bloat, ect. My IBS kicks in alittle when I eat something I shouldn't but not as bad... I have to stay away from milk, avacado & corn now also... I can't believe how many foods have bothered me since starting this diet. Or rather... I've figured out & bother me more... I thought I was just Gluten Intolerant but now I'm wondering if I am Celiac. How do you tell the difference?

I've had major brobs for 12 years now but figured it was Thyroid (lot of the same symptoms) however now I wonder if the Thyroid is caused from the Gluten Intolerance/Celiac... Yes, I'm still pretty lost but looking hopeful lol

It sounds like you are well on your way. It takes most people a long time to realize they have issues with gluten. That's a big step in itself. Besides that, a lot of people (including myself) struggle with giving up other foods, such as dairy and corn. Another common one that people have issues with is soy, which is found in many packaged foods. Your food diary should help you identify other foods you react to. If not, you can try an elimination diet.

As far as the difference between celiac and gluten intolerant, that is a medical question. Practically, you can't eat gluten with either one. Some doctors say that gluten intolerance is just a "younger" form of celiac, i.e. if you keep eating gluten, it will turn into celiac. A diagnosis of celiac depends on 1) a positive blood work for the gluten antibodies, and 2) flattened villi in the small intestine when viewed through an endoscopy. Note that you must be eating gluten to have these tests. However, the tests often have false negatives. Many of us on the forum have issues with gluten, but test negatively for celiac.

Welcome! Keep asking your questions.

If corn is bothering you, I would guess your problem could be the canola oil or the rice noodles. On some corn allergy sites, I've read that canola oil is a corn contamination risk (something about how it's processed, I believe?). Most oils were not, however. White rice is often polished using a corn product, and can be contaminated, too. So if the rice noodles were made from flour that was made from white rice, that might be a corn issue as well.

So, not sure what got ya, but corn is a definite possibility, depending on how sensitive you are to it.

I would drop the garlic powder and go with fresh garlic. I find it odd in myself that I can eat fresh garlic just fine but the powder makes my stomach hurt every time.

Thank You everyone :)

I'm cooking with fresh garlic & not the powder now. I do think that was my problem :) I wonder if it's something in the process of making it?

I also bought more Olive Oil to test also. I had ran out of it which is why I was using Canola... For the rice noodle I think I'll test that another time. I didn't buy anymore so I won't eat it... I'm going to stay away from rice for awhile also :)

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias!

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
