Still Having Major Problems

hey all. just got back from my honeymoon where i was sick for most of the trip regardless of avoiding dairy and gluten.

today i am still feeling extrememly sick with severe stomach pain and nausea and i have not had any gluten or dairy.

all i had today was a scrambled egg with some leftover steak for breakfast. I am 100% positive that this had no CC as i do not even keep gluten in the house.

I also had some hot tea as I have a soar throat. THIS and the splenda used to sweeten it was double checked to make sure there was no gluten.

THE only other thing that could be a problem is the throat drops for my soar throat. THIS Was also double checked to have no gluten.

I have not idea what it could be and I don't think this is normal. DOEs anyone have any suggestions?

I have some Hall's sore throat drops and they are supposed to be gluten free. However, they do have glucose syrup in them which can be derived from wheat starch but supposedly has so little ppm of gluten that it isn't supposed to cause reactions. Nonetheless, I've heard people say they have reacted to glucose syrup so it could be the drops for your sore throat.

So sorry for you!

Well, re: the gluten? Could be the splenda or the throat drops, because unfortunately 'gluten free' does not actually mean 'no gluten.' It just means less than a certain amount of gluten (and that amount is determined by country), and there are varying levels of sensitivity to gluten, so some people will still react to some products that are 'gluten free.'

In the studies that I've read, they've looked at some people, eating very gluten free, who have refractory celiac disease. A number of them improved when they lowered their gluten level even further.

Also, we've experienced something that I know a few others have, namely that our reactions get worse the longer we're off of gluten. Now, I don't know if you get more sensitive to gluten, too, sometimes, or if the reactions being worse just let you know that something is not good for you, but I DO know that both my daughter and I have foods now that we can't eat that we ate without noticing a problem a few months ago (we've only been gluten-free for a little over a year, now)

We try to eat them now, we get really sick. So...might want to try and drop the sweetener and cough drop and see how it goes. Couldn't hurt, anyway! :)

It does to me also, plus migraine headaches.

I avoid any artificial sweetners now. I had problems with them also.

What I've found, after being on a fairly restricted (but not total elimination diet) is that you have a reaction to food intolerances roughly 10-24 hours after injesting it, and the after effects last longer. Food allergy reactions occur quicker, are more immediately severe, but don't last as long. That's my body, not sure if anyone else is the same.

Some of the attacks sneak up on you, some of them pounce. It makes this all so confouunding at times.

I'm so very sorry that you were sick during your honeymoon, and wish you good health!

I'd try to eliminate soy before eggs, but you never know until you try! Good luck...and I wish you a long and happy marriage!

Where did you go on your honeymoon and what did you eat? Any chance of food poisioning instead of gluten?

      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. 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...

      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,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      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.
