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.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
