Back to bed this morning trying to figure out what I ate out of the ordinary yesterday. It was the brownies (really out of the ordinary for me....since I'm diabetic and don't typically have desserts).

I'm looking at the ingredients and there are a few I'm concerned about because I've seen them before: dextrose, tapioca starch, potato starch and xanthum gum.

Did I read postings from people saying they have sensitivities to these ingredients?

Peoples sensitivities really vary. It is going to be hard for anyone to tell you what precisely you reacted to. I'm really sorry you are feeling so lousy. It may also have been just to much sugar for you. You could try items that contain only one of your suspect ingredients and not the others to see if you react. Like for example get some potato starch and make some beef stew using it as a thickener. If you know you tolerate dairy you could try tapioca pudding etc. The dextrose is simply sugar and if it was wheat derived it would say so by FDA regs. Xanthum gum is very common in gluten free baked goods so if you have had other products with that in it and not had a problem it's likely that is not an issue.

Me too girl. I made a gluten-free pizza yesterday. I know for a fact it was gluten-free but I spent the WHOLE night with horrible horrible gas and D. That is the only thing out of the ordinary I ate so no telling what it was.

You may need to avoid dairy for a bit. Or at least stick with hard cheeses like cheddar and yogurt. Many of us can't tolerate dairy until we heal a bit. I hope your feeling better today.

      Gluten-Free Newbie

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
