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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
