Last week I purchased a bag of gluten free pancake mix...it's expnersive. $19 for a 2lb bag. Anyway...I made a batch, followed the instructions carefully and about 3 hours later felt like crud. I also have a bad reaction to the Glution Gluten free Raisin bread. This stuff is wonderful but for some reason I cant tollerate it. Anyone else? I'm new to this forum so please excuxse the amount of topics I post...I'm just excited to have found this place and hope to find some answers to help me. Right now I could not be more misserable than I am. Thanks.

Some people have problems with some off the less usual flours. Tapioca, sorghum, etc are probably new to your system. Flours can also be contaminated... :(

If your new to the diet is often helps if you stick to whole unprocessed foods for a bit until you have healed. If might help to look at the ingredients in both products and see if they have any ingredients in common. We can have intolerances to items that are in gluten-free food and haven't eaten before. For example I have problems with sorghum and bean flours, some others have issues with tapioca, many have issues with soy and dairy. Take it slow with the gluten-free replacement items. Try one at a time after you have healed a bit. Healing can also be a bit up and down at first and we do need to keep in mind what we are cooking in and on. Scratched utensils and pans can harbor gluten along with stuff like cutting boards etc.

You might have to keep a food journal. Note the time of anything you put in your mouth. Including tooth paste/ cosmetics near enough to your mouth.

It will help figure out if you have any other food intolerances. It can also help to figure out if you just have a cross-contaminated ingredient or pan.

My guts were such a mess it was hard to eat any grains at first. I really could not tolerate bean flours. I have never really ate a plate full of beans before, no wonder I felt sick to my stomach!

I've just now started tolerating tapioca at 8 months gluten free and I'm careful with it.

Arrowhead Mills gluten free pancake mix has no tapioca and no xanthan gum, another culprit.

For months, I couldn't tolerate xantham gum and even 2 yrs later, still have problems with too much corn. (every once in a while Fritos corn chips call my name and I just have to eat a bunch, you know?) :D

I did well with BF bisquick and MUCH cheaper. I also had a box of .. I think it was arrowhead that was ok but you do need to add something like fruit or cinnamon.

I add extra vanilla and a little brown sugar. My gluten eaters always love it.

I had the same problem Discodiver, you sound like me a few months ago. I thought if its gluten-free it wont make me sick. but would eat the pancakes and still be wracked with pain. it took awhile for me to tolerate the tapioca and the xanthan gum, which if you do any research on, is a laxative....

I have heard that products that use guar gum are better but eventually you will adjust most likely to the xanthan and tapioca. I had to stick with boiled red potatoes, white rice, and tinkyada fettucini rice pasta for the first month. buy a lean cut of steak, such as filet. the smell of the meat on the stove just got my appetite going. that with the potato kept me alive for the first 3 mos. I lost 10 pounds at first and all my clothes were hanging off of me, but since april I have gained it back. hope that helps.

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I hate to cook!

      By bold-95 · Posted

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is also declining mentally (memory, reasoning) and physically, and that makes me want to cry all the time; that, or be angry. My celiac symptoms are not completely resolved, just somewhat better. I have just read the book re SCD, wish I could try that diet (cause it promises a cure) but the learning/implementing curve is more than I can handle if I have to cook the way they say is necessary. I live in an area with poor medical help; I tried the (only) dietitian listed in my area who is celiac knowledge certified, but she doesn't accept my insurance.  I'm on my own. I am hypothyroid, and on HRT.  Cannot tolerate Buspirone; anti-depressives are ineffective due to gene mutations (I've been tested). Can anyone help?  Or not....
