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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
