Glutened? How?

I don't get it. I haven't eaten anything outside of my own home except Uno's gluten free pizza - but that was three days ago. Could it take that long? What else? Kix? Jello mousse temptations? B&M beans? I've eaten all those things before without any reaction.

My glutening symptoms can take up to 72 hours to appear, so yes it could have been cc from Unos. However, I didn't know Kix cereal was safe--what are the ingredients? Have you started using any new personal products like a new shampoo? Make sure vitamins and everything else are gluten free. Also depending on your symptoms it may not be a glutening. The flu is going around where I live.

Here's what I found with a quick google search about Kix.

Well, almost, a customer service representative told me today. Kix has been reformulated so that it no longer contains oats. However, the company has decided not to specifically label Kix gluten free nor claim it to be so, as cross-contamination is still a possibility. I

In myself since it takes three days for the gut reaction to set in my best guess would be the Uno's was CC'd. Can't say for sure since I don't know what other circumstances and stuff you have eaten or if you are living in a gluten-free house or using toiletries with gluten ingredients.

Thanks all. My house is not completely gluten-free; there are regular bread and cereal and things for the gluten-eaters in separate cabinets. My toaster is seperate and all cooking is gluten free since I am the one doing it. My understanding was that Kix ingredients are safe, but made in a shared facility. I haven't been as careful as some of you are about toiletries and CC, because in 5 months it hasn't been an issue for me. I stopped having symptoms within 5 days of going off gluten, and have had none since (except once when I was silly enough to cheat on vacation - won't be doing THAT again!).

Quite definitely gluten - way TMI, I know, but I was passing mucus and undigested fats just like before the diet. No other flu symptoms.

Perhaps I am becoming more sensitive, and need to be stricter, but I am relieved to know gut symptoms can take 3 days - I thought it would be immediate.

I find that the longer I'm gluten-free, the longer it takes for cross contamination to "catch up with me". It's especially irritating when trying a new processed food--it may seem fine for a few days and then the digestive reactions start and I have to back-track and figure out what it is.

I find the same thing. Also sometimes things that I've been eating fine for ages start to bother me. I don't know if it is an increase in sensitivity or a change in processing.

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all, Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac Screening

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
