Cramps With Campbell Soup?

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 :)

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)

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.

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. :)

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

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.

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.

YEAH, what she said!! ;):D 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. :D

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!

Yea I really liked Progresso soups until I couldn't have soy any longer. Now if they would just make some without soy.....

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.

Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
