Gas On My Date...why? ;)

Ok so i went out with the girl im seeing last night. we went to an italian place that has gluten free pasta and I always eat there and have never had a problem. I tried a different sauce last night (marinara) and it had a lot of onions & garlic but i didnt have any upper GI discomfort and everything felt fine after dinner...a few garlic burps but they subsides after a while. My lady friend had pumpkin ravioli (not gluten-free)- we didnt kiss or share anything.

we then went to see a film festival and they had drinks there. i got a wine & she got a can of guiness. after the festival we walked to a nearby bar and i had another glass of wine and she had a jack and coke, which i took a sip of.

bout 30 min later my stomach started gurgling and i was gassy for the whole rest of the night. normally i get that type of reaction when I ingest dairy but i didnt have any dairy. Did I most likely get CC'd with gluten or could something else have caused this reaction? we exchanged a few pecks on the lips at the bar but this was about an hr or so after her last sip of beer and she had already had some of her jack and coke which probably washed things down.

Am i reading into this too much? i really dont want to worry and obsess about this on every date

I assume you've had the marinara before? I know alot of bottled spaghetti sauces gave wheat and or dairy in it. I also stay away from American whiskey. I've read too much that some US whiskey makers will throw in grains in the last of their process fir added flavors. I don't do blends for that reason. I stick with single whiskys. I cod be misinformed on that one but it has served me well regardless.

Despite the fact it is distilled the Jack would have gotten me. You could also have gotten CC'd somewhere along the line. If your not having other gluten symptoms you could also have just gotten gassy from the onions and garlic. You may never know and if you don't have any of your other glutened symptoms I wouldn't worry about it.

Sounds like it was a nice night and glad you and this lady are still seeing each other. It sounds like things are going well, your gluten anxiety aside.

Never had the marinara before, but they are very strict about gluten and this sauce is made in house.

I thought all distilled alcohols are gluten free?

I have problems with Coke, so I'm thinking that's what gave you gas. I pretty much give up anything that has caramel and HFCS now, it makes me so gassy.

Almost everybody gets gassy after eating onions and garlic. That's why Beano is so popular. However, I think Beano contains sorbitol, which can also cause gas, bloating, intestinal cramping and diarrhea in people with leaky gut problems. So I use a brand named 'ExcuseMe' which has the enzyme necessary to digest beans and other gas causing vegies.

Many of us can drink them safely and do so but there are some of us who do get a gluten reaction from them. Don't know which group you fall in.

Sometimes, gas happens, even to good Celiacs. :P

...it is such a rare occurrence now that I am gluten free..I always freak out if I feel gassy and start thinking about what I ate and start checking label/rechecking allergen listings on websites. Every time I 'toot'...my husband accuses me of sneaking gluten....if only the worst of the reaction was gas... When I ingest gluten it's pain, it's panic,it's insane, there is raging, there are tears, there are migraines, I am doubled over with stabbing gut pains, the muscles across my rib cage hurt an then the pain starts shooting through my arms(that really freaks me out),my OCD kicks in, I itch, I want to run away, my ankles triple in size and I gain 15 pounds in an hour.....I have gotten really good at avoiding gluten...he has forgotten that things get far worse than a few gassy moments.

Glad you two are hitting it off!

Gas just happens sometimes. I had it yesterday and today really bad bloating. I think my little girl CC'd me. It's minor and it will most likely be gone tomorrow. It's just what we have to deal with.

It is hard when we have to be paranoid about everything. I tell you that I am very sensitive and I am still not all the way recovered more than a week later from kissing my daughter on the lips about an hour after she had a gluten filled meal and had forgotten to brush. I have been steadily improving. It could be the kiss, but I don't doubt that it could be something else instead, or just gas. I hope your girlfriend was understanding.

Could be, do you eat other foods or drink other beverages with HFCS? Since it is in so much it should be an easy one to test. Most jellies and jams and even pnut butters have HFCS as well as many beverages. You could try some of those out and see if you get the same reaction.

carbonated beverages make me pretty darn burpy. some people don't burp nearly as well as they pass gas out the other end. do you feel this way when you get carbonated beverages?

*gas happens* LOL. Not a funny thing Jason I know but everyone gets gas sometimes. even your lady friend :) I wouldn't Xoff that meal just yet. It was prob the strong garlic or maybe even the tomatoes.

If she didn't notice, I wouldn't even get it another thought.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
