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.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
