Hi,

This is so weird. I've always been able to eat peanuts, peanut butter, etc. But just about the time they physical symptons of celiacs was showing up (about 1 1/2 months ago) I was also getting a stomache from peanuts. I thought it was coincidental ... but had some m&m peanuts last night and paid for it with super size tummy ache all night long. What is with this? Has my body just gone nutso? I am gluten-free - I would say 100%, but figure it's at least 99%. I only eat from the safe list....

Thanks

Ann

Maybe you have problems with peanuts as well. Have you considered maybe getting a allergy or intolerance test done to check for that? That may be a good idea. Also, you may want to keep a food journal and then see if there is a correlation between any food and you getting sick. If your body doesn't like peanuts then stay away from them. Peanuts are a food that alot of people react to.

Hi,

I work in a school ... I know all about the peanut allergy thing. But I never, ever had a problem before I had the physical symptons of celiacs. I lived on peanut butter, at candy with it in it, ate peanuts at parties, etc. And thanks for the suggestion of the allergy tests - but I'll just stay away from them for now on. Not worth the outcome. I was just curious if anyone else found that food they previously tolerated now causes them problems.

Thanks!

Ann

Sometimes in the past when I'd get glutened I noticed that it would take several days to go back and eat something with peanuts. I was tested for peanut intolerance and it came back negative. Maybe stomach is too delicate after being glutened. I can't eat too many of those M&Ms cause they give me a stomach ache too.

When I first figured this out, peanuts were a big problem for me, as well. But, at over a year being gluten-free, I tried them again, a wee bit at a time. No problems now! Peanut M&M's , especially the new dark chocolate, are a new diet staple for me now! :)

I think it's been said before, that as our guts heal, we can perhaps tolerate foods that earlier were a problem.

This is a very individual disease; you will figure it out,

Thanks! I thought my gut was OK, but I guess not. I did know that, right before my stomach blew up that first time, I was eating wheat thins, popcorn, peanuts & apple juice. Do NOT even ask. Grains, vegetable, protein & fruit if you want me to justify the diet :lol: It's taken me some time to understand that my tummy is still sensitive, although this is the first time in 1 1/2 months that it's hurt again. I truly do stay gluten-free. Now I have to go find out if Ben & Jerry's New York Super Chunk is OK. I'll pick out the nuts ....

I do not know what I'd do without this board. Got tested for ITP and Lupus today - which is a possibility of having both - and my thryoid is slightly enlarged, although the thyroid function test came back normal. It's like my warranty has run out and now all my parts are failing!

I'm sorry you feel so bad and totally understand. I would stay away from the Wheat Thins and replace with maybe some Rice Crackers and keep in mind that popcorn and apple juice have lots of fiber and you know what that does. I'd switch to Welch's Grape Juice instead of the apple juice. To be honest I'd wait a few days maybe even a week before popcorn (make sure its Orville brand). I hope you feel better soon.

Peanut butter seems to give my 15 month a tummy ache too. I don't understand it. He has been on the gluten-free diet for about six weeks and everytime he gets PB he cries and fusses and eats cruddy the rest of the day. I actually was looking to see if I was giving him gluten by accident, but it seems like the PB.

Eloisa,

Orville? Is that the only kind that is safe? That's OK with me, but I didn't realize it. And wheat thins are a thing of the past; never to cross these lips again. :D

Ann,

Orville's the only one I know of and I think someone posted about it too.

Also AMC popcorn is okay too.

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
