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.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
