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.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
