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.

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
