What could it have been of this???

I just want to SCREAM!! It has been SO LONG since I was glutened!! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I am also Super Sensitive.. Could it have been CC??

Where did the Patty come from?

How was it cooked?

I listed the brand name a second ago, it was from Walmart.. And my husband cooked it.. We have a gluten-free household, so no 'known' gluten here...

Hi and sorry you are feeling bad....I hate this! Maybe it was the cream in the cream corn or the corn itself. I'm starting to notice issue when I eat corn....bloating and glutened type stuff......just a thought.

I recently got CC'ed from meat at Sam's Club....I don't know about Walmart though :(

Becci Enthusiast

Hmm.. :( Sorry you got CC :(

I wish I knew what it was!! I am getting so MAD! :'-(

Is it for sure this meal? I usually don't get symptoms until 4-6 hours later...so usually it's not what I just ate, but the meal before.... :unsure:

I'd say CC could be likely - none of these are on the low end of gluten free, I don't believe. And as another sensitive celiac buddy? Any of those three would likely get me. :(

If, however, I was going to pick the most likely - just looking at food, not brands - I'd take a look at the beans and corn. Beans and grains tend to be grown in the same fields and are very often exposed to the same equipment, so there is a higher risk of CC for them. Corn is often a rotation crop for wheat, specifically, so there is an even higher risk of CC from them. I got sick so often on corn that I thought it WAS the corn that was getting me, but more and more it's looking like CC to it.

So sorry you're feeling sick, though - I'm in the same spot from last night, so just...a big virtual hug for your pain. :)

Yea I get delayed reactions also. Sometimes the offending food is even a couple of days back which can make it really hard to figure out. A food diary can be helpful in figuring out delayed reactions.

I recently got CC'ed from meat at Sam's Club....I don't know about Walmart though :(

Walmart and Sams Club use the same suppliers (all owned by Sam Walton) I have been told that processed patties are a no no. I hope you feel better soon.

I too got glutened last night. I made Jell-O Choc. pudding (Lactaid milk)and cool whip. Does anyone know if that could be the culpret???

Becci Enthusiast

I actually start feeling gluten in 1-3 hours... 4 Max.. And since I haven't been able to eat to start with, I only ate dinner yesterday... So it WAS from dinner.. But my worst doesn't usually start until day 3.. :(

As for the beans and corn being CC'ed from the field they were grown in, I thought about the corn, but not about the beans...

I think I will start keeping a food diary.. It would be worth it to know... Agh. :(

And as for the hug, AWWW!!! Big hugs to you too..

And to ArubaWendy for her glutening.. :( So sorry hun.

polarbearscooby Explorer

So do I react fast?

I can usually know within 40 minutes if I've been glutened..... At most an hour or two?

And I'm like SUPER sensitive as well

Hi. I didn't see anyone else mention this, so I joined the site so I could:

It quite possibly was the angus burger. Many of the angus burger packages I've read have flavorings, some gluten, in them. The high-end burgers have flavorings while the low-end are just meat, in my experience. Out of all the GV burgers I've tried my family likes the 85-15 patties the best. I use them as a "fast" food for times I don't feel like cooking.

Anyhow, the other stuff may have contributed, but my first thought when reading your list was the beef because I'd almost bought angus burgers once and for some reason read the back of the package and put them back. Then whenever I saw angus burgers I'd read the packages, and again put them back.

100% beef or chicken or whatever meat on the label unfortunately doesn't mean there aren't flavorings and additives, just that they don't have fillers in them.

Good luck to you! :)

So we need to add no beans or corn to our list of no no foods? If corn is an issue then what about corn tortillas, and gluten free products that have corn in them.. Geesh,,,, I wish this gluten free process was as simple as having it easily listed on the ingredients list.. Cc adds so much more stress.

The vast majority of people with celiac disease can eat corn without problems. There are some of us who, in addition to celiac disease, are intolerant to corn. Cross contamination is possible in anything.

In the early stages of recovery, you will have reactions to many gluten-free foods. It does not mean that you have a problem with those foods--it just means that your damaged intestines are still having trouble with food in general.

I thought of the patty too. Sometimes I have trouble tolerating foods with a high grease content. Fireside gourmet patties are like 30% fat right? What flavor was it? Was it the pure beef patty or did it have onion or some other flavor?

I've had Bush's beans and they seem to be ok.

Are you having trouble with corn in general? I cut corn out of my diet 5 days ago. I kept noticing symptoms (swelling & D) after eating corn. I feel soooo much better with it gone! I really feel like I'm on the road to recovery now.

I hope you feel better soon. I'm so sorry for you.

Becci,

Sorry to hear of your discomfort. My guess is the Great Value brand cream corn from Walmart. I have found a long "processed with" label warning that includes wheat on many of their products. Double check the can again. Good luck and feel better.

I'm here because I googled those burgers + gluten.  Had them for dinner last night, and "got glutened" just like you.  They list "natural flavoring" under ingredients--I'm guessing that means malt, i.e. barley.  Anyway, they're off my menu.  Sorry they got you too.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely possible you are dealing with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS).  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.   Your situation is a classic presentation: a negative celiac panel but a clear, recurring pattern of symptoms triggered by gluten. The symptoms you listed—particularly the extreme fatigue, bloating, neurological-psychiatric symptoms like depression and anxiety, and even the skin manifestations like facial flushing—are all well-documented in research on NCGS. It's important to know that you are not alone in experiencing this specific combination of physical and emotional reactions. The only way to know for sure is to commit to a strict, 100% gluten-free diet under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian for a period of several weeks to see if your symptoms significantly improve. It is also crucial to rule out other potential causes, so discussing these symptoms with a gastroenterologist is a very important next step.
