Glutened Again

I pretty much eat the same foods over and over with a few exceptions. I recently added a few things to my diet that I have not had in 6 months or more. Has anyone been glutened by any of these items? I am at a loss as to what got me and which I should throw out.

Plain Organic coffee with coffeemate creamer I bought a new coffeemaker as well.

Edy's French Vanilla Ice Cream

Hershey's Kisses

Dairy is not a problem as I drink milk and eat cheese etc.

Lays Stax

I just read the other 2 posts from today about the Kisses. I suspect that those are the culprit. Into the trash they go. You know, this is not the first time that Hershey's has made me sick. Back to Enjoy Life Chocolate bars at least they are made in a dedicated factory on dedicated lines.

If you can handle dairy, stick with regular 1/2 and 1/2 or milk for your coffee.

I run from coffee creamer and Hershey's chocolate. From everything I've read, I think they both are risky.

And it never seems to matter if they're marked gluten-free or not, I ALWAYS have issues after eating potato chips. IDK if it's a grease/fat thing or what, but my innerds just can't handle them.

I had a date tonight, first meeting of a very nice man... We went to Perkins where I had previewed the menu and found something that looked to be gluten free. Swiss and mushroom chicken on a bed of herbed rice with two sides.. I picked two veggies. Ok we're in business right? WRONG.

My dinner came out with a big ol roll on top of my asparagus so I asked the waitress for another small plate so I could remove the asparagus from my plate. (I had told her about the gluten thing before I ordered and she assured me there wasn't any in this dish haha) She was upset that I wasted the asparagus.. Excuse me? Secondly, I'm talking with my new friend and not really paying attention to my 'herbed rice' and he noticed (he has a friend with Celiac) that what I was eating wasn't just rice, there was orzo pasta in it... Grrrrrrrrr

This is my first time being glutened and I feel like crap. I feel like I have the flu and it's only been an hour since we were at the restaurant. So much for a nice first date huh? But he was very good about it and didn't bat an eye and even asked me if I'd like to see him again so it wasn't all bad... he is a nice guy! Twinkle in her eye as she sits close to the bathroom!

He said next time we'll go to the Mexican place I love...

I have never had a problem with Hershey's kisses - eat them all the time. But I do get sick from Lay's Stax, so I think that could be the culprit.

Everything I've read (and the coffeemate reps) say that coffeemate is gluten free, but I got sick off their Honey Vanilla Creme twice. Haven't had a problem with their sugar free versions & I'm too scared to try their sugary ones again. I don't think anyone else has a problem with them though.

Sometimes it's a crap shoot as to what glutened us.

Today I had real cream with my coffee.

Going to skip the Stax

Threw the ice cream and kisses out.

I def. don't need the candy and I am getting a new ice cream maker for Christmas so problem solved. It just gets annoying feeling bad and not knowing exactly what zapped us.

Judy3, I'm sorry you got sick on your date. Good thing that you were not going to a movie or something after! He sounds like a keeper since he was so understanding. Hope you feel better soon!

Maybe it's the soy in these products?

That's what I was thinking too, soy. Coffee Mate has soy in it. I am not sure about the Hershey's Kisses, but most chocolate has soy in it. The Coffee Mate site says it is gluten free.

hmmm, maybe it is the soy. I'll have to eliminate soy and see if I feel better. Thanks everyone for your help!

Does soy tend to give people gluten type intestinal reactions?

Yes, for me it does. I am still healing (3 months) and the only thing I kept using was coffee mate. I love the stuff. But after feeling so sick....I realized it is the soy. Every single time. I now use half n half or real cream. I think that solved the problem...until I start getting sick from the dairy! Good luck. I am right there with you on this..learning what makes me ill.

Soy can cause GI symptoms, along with a whole bunch of other possible symptoms too. Different people can have different reactions to it.

Me too. In fact my reaction to soy is stronger and worse than my reaction to gluten. I also tend to puff up like a puffer fish.

Not only does soy give me a little bit of gi reactions but I get depression and anxiety worse.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
