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.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
