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.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
