I posted this under the reaction time thing too, but now I am genuinely confused. I had smoked brisket last night about ten, and went to bed, it seemed fine. It was cooked by my friends dad (her mom is celiac) so he is used to cooking for a celiac/avoiding CC. There was food that had gluten in it around (chicken kabobs) but they went on the grill second. Also, it was a brand new, unused grill. I got up this morning and had yogurt with my son (yobaby, certified gluten-free) and some toast and tea and my stomach is SO upset. That's it though. No D, C, bloating...just an upset stomach. I AM on antibiotics (gluten-free, I checked) but I have been on them for a week. I would think they would make me feel sick sooner than this. It did concern me last night that my friends mom had a beer and when I pointed out that was a HUGE nono she just shrugged. She has DH not stomach upsets so I could kind of see that it might be ok to slip up occasionally (who am I to lecture on celiac? She's grown, if she wants to kill her intestines she can do it). But it made me kind of wonder if maybe they aren't as strict on avoiding CC as I have to be.

Anyway, other things that might be causing stomach upset are gluten-free bun in oven (unlikely but always a possibility since the man just left and we were..ahem...very busy), antibiotics (which are unlikely after taking them a week) or dairy in the yogurt. Am I missing anything?

Honestly, my money is on the antibiotics. They do affect your gut microbiota, so you could be feeling the cumulative effects now. Or you could be right, and your friends may not be as careful about CC as you would be. Sounds like you're doing the right thing by taking it easy and eating light foods. If you took a gluten hit, at least it sounds like it wasn't a heavy one. Hope it passes soon.

Yeah I am definitely feeling it today...I just wish I knew what it was! Oh well, at least it's sunday and I can rest with the little monkey. Chicken broth for the win!

Also, could it be the live cultures in the yogurt since there's so many of them and I got pretty much wiped out?

Usually, yogurt is recommended when you take antibiotics. The antibiotics kill live bacteria, good or bad. If the good bacteria in your gut is suseptable to that antibiotic, it coud be wiped out along with your bronchitis germs. The yogurt should help put it back. My son used to get amoxicillan for ear infections. He would get a stomach ache & diarrhea a few days later. A few days of yogurt (half a container in am half in pm) and hew would be better.

But, it sounds like you might not be able to trust those people to cook for you. They don't sound too careful in thier lives with gluten.

Antibiotic D takes a while to hit usually. My bet is also on the antibiotics. They do upset the gut flora but it does usually take a few days for them to do so. What I do when I or my children had to take them is I start with the yogurt on the first day. That seems to help me prevent the GI antibiotic effect from happening. Keep up with the yogurt a couple times a day and hopefully this will ease up soon.

Yogurt doesn't provide enough good bacteria to compensate for what the antibiotics destroy in your intestines. You may need to take a high dose probiotic (20-50 billion live cells per capsule) during and after your antibiotic treatment. I've been treated for 5 pathogenic intestinal bacteria, 2 parasites and candida. I took probiotics during and after those treatments, but I took them with food, rather than on an empty stomach. Taking probiotics with food reduces the potency, because stomach acid can destroy some of the good bacteria. After I began to take high dose (50 billion live cells per capsule) 2x daily (before breakfast and before bed), I finally stopped getting bloating and discomfort after meals. (Yes, I've also been diagnosed with and abstain from gluten and 6 other delayed reaction food allergies.)

I don't know. Sometimes when I'm having an off day I just wonder if it's a combo of things overloading my system. I agree that those folks don't seem to be taking cross contamination seriously. About the only person I trust to cook for me is my mom since she's gluten intolerant too. I hope you recover quickly. Stinks to feel so bad with a little one in the house.

HAHA that's what everyone else says too, but they're all joking with me since my husband just left. It is odd though because it's just a really upset stomach. And if it was a bun, it would only be 5 weeks and my morning sickness usually doesn't hit til 10 weeks on the nose. Hmm.

Well, we'll figure it out eventually LOL

I vote for pregnant or time of month coming on. This may be TMI, but I have noticed a change in my cycle since going gluten free and sometimes the week before my monthly I have some mild stomach upset or nausea. I keep thinking I'm pregnant, but after a few months of this I have noticed the pattern enough to recognize the signs. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat, a few days before my period I will have a little nausea and upset stomach.

I am on the pill and we had an antibiotic/Birth control pharmacist communication fail sooooo... I just realized....I COULD be pregnant. Also, instead of being like clockwork I was 2 weeks early and VERY light which has been rare since being diagnosed. Was morel like I was malnourished or something. Also, I just ate 3 pickles- I'm starving and nauseous at the same time. And last night before I even went to my friends house I was feeling...off...

Not good timing if I am, but...what am I going to do? LOL We DID want more kids!

I'll test later today if I can feel good enough to get out and go to the drugstore. I'm on chicken broth and rice noodles until whatever THIS is passes. Y'know, in a few days or 9 months :P

Oh, yes don't some anitbiotics make birth control pills not work or something like that? Could the very light one be implantation spotting? I have heard it's possible to have a light "period" the first month and still be pregnant, but I don't know. Well I hope whatever it is you find out soon. :)

LOL yes, some do affect BC. My pharmacist said it wouldn't but after feeling sick I googled the medicine and ... it interacts with MY BC lol. Soooo...Yeah we need to do some sleuthing.

On the off chance it was the food I had last night I tossed the leftovers. Just in case.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
