Cramps With Campbell Soup?

[crampy girl]

Help

I am new to this. I thought I was doing good ! I had another episode of 4 hour long cramps and diarrheah and here is what I ate past 24 hrs: campbells soup-tomatoe cream, gluten free potato chips, corn chips and salsa, dove chocolate, yoplait yogurt, starbucks cofee w milk, deli meat,cheese, apple. The episode came on this morning after cofee and yogurt. I had the soup last night, late. I read the ingredients of all of it and the soup has wheat is that enough to send me into this? I had it a couple of days ago and it did not make me as sick,

that I can recall. Well I may have had some cramps but I also has banana which makes me cramp too (weird) so I blamed that

or maybe I don't have celiac? I tested neg on the panel, but my reaction to ritz crackers when I was 18 and recent worsening of symptoms when I eat cereal has me convinced.

Any advice? Could these cramps be from lack of sleep? Or related to menstrual cycle?

Help. I was symptom free for 25 days that I stayed away from wheat/ gluten forthe most part.

Yes, eating a food made with wheat could cause such symptoms--I frequently don't feel the full effects of an accidental glutening until the next morning. Plus, you also said:

That says a lot....your symptoms went away when you avoided gluten, and returned when you ate it again. Your body doesn't like it--you just performed the best test there is! I would continue to stay strictly off gluten

[Sprue is me]

Your lunch meat may have had gluten in it also. And your Starbucks, if you ordered it with a sugar-free liquid sweetener. Chocolate bars also get my tummy in an uproar, I think due to the soy lecithin.

Most Campbells soups have MSG in them. Major red flag. Also might be a problem with tomato ( nightshade) and/ or creme ( dairy)

campbell soup has wheat in it.

[jerseyangel]

The OP knew there was wheat in the soup--that's not the question. They were questioning the timing of the reaction, and if there might possibly be another explanation for the symptoms since they had a negative blood test in the past.

[ravenwoodglass]

Gluten GI reactions can be delayed. I have neuro symptoms that strike quickly but the GI stuff takes two to three days to hit. A delayed reaction is not unusual. That you felt great when you had almost a month gluten free is significant. You also may have problems with dairy. I say that because you mention issues when you eat cereal which most of us have with milk. Dairy issues often show up sooner. Many of us have issues with dairy until we heal.

You may want to continue with the gluten free diet trial for a couple of months and then do a deliberate challenge when you are symptom free. You would eat something like cream of wheat or triscuits, something with few ingredients other than wheat, and eat that 3 times a day for a week and see if you react. If your symptoms come back of course stop the challenge then.

If you are going to pursue a doctor derived diagnosis you need to challenge with a regular gluten diet for a couple of months and then ask for a blood test and endoscopy. Both of those do have false negatives though. I don't know if or how long ago you may have had the blood test but just because a previous one was negative doesn't mean it will always be negative.

My reactions are sometimes a bit delayed... usually the next day if I've slipped up and eaten gluten.

Aside from that... your stomach could be protesting the lack of "real" food within the past 24 hours.

You said you had the following:

campbells soup-tomatoe cream (has gluten)

gluten free potato chips

corn chips and salsa, (chips possibly have gluten if manufactured along with other chips, plus "corn" chips sometimes contain grains other than corn

dove chocolate

yoplait yogurt (plain or flavored)

starbucks cofee w milk (again, was it flavored? sweetened with anything?)

deli meat (I'm new at this, but was under the impression that deli meat contained gluten?)

cheese (what kind of cheese? processed cheese may have gluten

apple

So... you potentially had a lot of gluten. Plus, your body didn't really get anything of substance, no real "meal" within a 24 hour period.

I've only recently been diagnosed and am still learning, but I am taking this as an opportunity to improve my overall eating habits and diet. I'm trying to eat right... and to me that is more than just being gluten free.

Nice to hear from you Campbell. The US would like to have the same available options of soups in Canada. Yup, that would be good! How about it Campbell????

[modiddly16]

MSG is not necessarily a red flag in regards to gluten, just fyi!

[LindaIone]

The corn chips, potato chips, and yogurt, apple & bananas contain substantial amounts of carbs. For me, I have learned that it is not only wheat, but almost all carbs that I am sensitive to, including fruit and sugars.

If I eat carbs like corn or potatoes before bed, my legs twitch all night. If I have leg cramps, it is due to lack of magnesium. Taking a half teaspoon or so of powdered magnesium in water cures it fast.

Another thing I am learning is that you should not combine proteins and carbs in the same meal - as one needs an alkaline stomach to be digested, and the other needs acidic stomach acids.

MSG is not a red flag with respect to gluten, period. MSG is gluten-free.

Your not missing anything in Canada. Here is their list of soups

[psawyer]

I don't know where you looked, but when I followed the Canadian link in the earlier post, the list I saw included three condensed soups: Chicken with Rice; Chicken with White and Wild Rice; and Tomato with Basil and Oregano. It also had five Chunky soups.

I think it was a miscommunication--Lisa said "in Canada" and I think she meant "as Canada"....since she is not in Canada, but in the US.

YEAH, what she said!! I tried to edit, but the Skype phone numbers on the Campbell post, or summfin' won't let me. <shrugging shoulders>

Campbell Canada has quite of few soup options, compared to the relatively few or none in the US.

I only looked in the US link as I misunderstood what Lisa meant. Too bad they can't do the same in the US. It would be nice to just open up a can of soup once in a while. If I ever get a passport I'll make the drive to visit since I am close to Canada and bring home a casefull of soup. Wonder if border patrol would hassle me.

Many people are surprised to find out how many soups from Progresso are now gluten-free and labeled as such. The Creamy Mushroom soup was what we used for our green bean casserole for Thanksgiving dinner. I thickened it with a little cornstarch and it was absolutely perfect for the dish. To check the gluten-free status of Progresso soups, click on ’nutrition’ and then the type of soup on the website. Thanks to Progresso for making some wonderful MSG and gluten-free soups!

Grandma Brown make a couple gluten-free/SF soups. Now if I really crave soup I get their Split Pea or Bean.

My mom used to make something , not entirely unlike this. She didn't blenderize it or use onion or pepper or another flavoring. Was rather boring without seasoning. This sounds good. Thanks.
