Glutened...but By What?

Well, I tried a regular Reese's Peanut Butter cup today and about an hour after that my stomach got upset. That was the only new thing I have eaten today although I did let my little boy give me kisses on the lips (but his face had been wiped after a gluten-free dinner). My only question was whether or not I could get glutened by baby kisses when he eats normally at school all day and gluten-free at home.

I wish I could figure this out! It's so complicated!

We had a mystery glutening a couple weeks ago. It's so frustrating to try to figure it out! Especially if, like our son, the symptoms show up a few days later... :angry:

As for the Reese's, might be something else in there, but my son eats them without any problems - in fact, until two weeks ago I was happy to say it had been 2 years since a gluten incident.

Don't need details, just a possibility that the little goober brought you a stomach virus. Or you got one somewhere else.

It's possible but I had classic gluten symptoms, bloating, etc. Hmm. Maybe.

Peanut butter cups and reese's pieces used to get me pretty good (soy intolerance). Two of the few soy products I actually miss.

I think peanut butter cups have wheat flour as well.

The Reese's regular PB cups do not have flour. However, I think I saw that the special holiday shapes might. They make an Easter egg shape at Easter, etc

That would be news to me. Last time I checked Reese's they were gluten-free, but it has been a while.

Somebody posted in another thread that there is a new one that is not gluten-free. They couldn't remember the particulars.

I am one of those super sensitive celiacs, and I can't eat peanut butter cups. I got glutened by my daughter once when she just came home from dinner out and hadn't brushed her teeth yet. Generally when she brushed I was O.K., I would bet on the Reeses. Here is a blog on food allergies which talks about a study that says that after eating another meal you are safe.

They have one called "sticks" which have cookies in them much like a Kit Kat candy bar.

I'm sensitive as well and both myself and my daughter have had trouble with Reese's PB cups. My daughter is less sensitive to gluten than myself, and she has less trouble with them, however. Very mild reaction.

They don't have any added gluten, and they are on a gluten free line (last I talked to them), but they are still processed around other foods that use gluten, so CC happens periodically, I imagine.

I'd guess the Reese's before I'd guess the kisses.

I too have felt bad after eating a reese's peanut butter cup, I read the label the next time I was in grocery store, had a may contain wheat. Too bad cause I loved these chocolate bars.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
