Apples

I seem to get acid reflux after eating an apple with p-nut butter on it for my morning snack. Anyone else have problems with apples? It's not all the time, just some of the time.

Are you sure it's not the peanutbutter? Some brands of peanut butter use soy oil, and many gluten intolerants also have problems with soy.

Are the apples that you eat really shiney? It could also be the wax that they put over the apple, which usually contains casein or soy. So try to avoid those waxy glossy apples

To see if your having issues with the wax try peeling the apples. The advice to look for a nut butter without soy is also a good one. The soy oil will be clearly labeled on the jar.

we've been eating sunflower seed butter here, since I didn't want to give my 9 month old nut butters of any variety yet. I find it quite tasty! (and so does she ;) )

I can't eat a whole raw apple with the skin. Peeled, its okay. Cooked, its okay. But raw with the skin - horrible stomach pains and gas. Apples are high in fructose apparently which makes them hard to digest. Try peeling or cooking them.

if i ate an apple (fructose) & peanut butter (legumes)- i would be out of commision for the rest of the day- laying on a heating pad, feeling like i wish i had an epidural so i couldnt feel the wheelbarrow of rocks i had in my intestines :angry:

interesting about the soy oil... i havent been able to eat my almond butter lately- it makes me burp and makes me nauseaus- im thinking the Palm Oil ???

hhmmm... apples are also actually acidic.. but i dont think ive ever gotten reflux from them? just nausea sometimes & cramping

Yes! I used to get acid reflex with them also, when I was first diagnosed. I thought maybe I was allergic to them at first. But, like everyone else says, they are hard to digest & if your small intestines aren't healed yet you might just have a hard time digesting them.

The good news is this might just be temporary. My dietitian recommended me to stop eating them for a while. I stopped for about 4-5 months.

I can eat them with out any problems now. Hopefully it will be the same for you! :)

I used to get horrible heart burn when I ate regular PB, when I switched to an all natural PB I no longer got heart burn.

Now I used to get major cramping after eating an apple, so I stopped eating them for awhile and no longer have a problem with them anymore. I dont eat them as often anymore so not sure if that is the reason.

Yep, Skippy has soy, so I will try and find a natural p-nut butter and maybe lay off apples for a while - or just put them in my juicer so my body can digest them easier. :) Thanks for all of the replies!

When it comes to any peanut butter ALWAYS opt for all natural and one with 100% peanuts, that way you won't be wondering if some other random ingredient may be causing chaos to your systems.

For example, the ingredients of Peter Pan peanut butter: Roasted peanuts, sugar, partially hydrogenated vegetable oils (cottonseed and rapeseed), salt. Hmmm

I have had problems with coated apples. I do fine with uncoated apples which I can get at the Farmer's Market.

No, apples and PB have been one thing I have been eating a lot of since the diagnosis. I agree it might be a morning thing though, I usually eat them in afternoon. Maybe try changing the time up?

I can eat any variety of apples with red skin, but green apples always bother my stomach. I thought this was the oddest thing until one day I was having a random conversation with someone who mentioned they are allergic to green apples and not other types of apples. Apparently it has to do with the type of trees they grow on. I never really researched it to confirm this theory but I stay away from green apples now.

interesting tip- i think too that the stomach acid content is highest in the morning.. also in chinese medicine- i think the stomach meridian time slot is like 9am-11am

before i ever discovered my favorite diet- i learned after years of suffering that if i was ever going to drink orange juice- it could only be in the evening... if i drank it in the morning- i usually ended up kneeling over the toilet

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body. See my blog. Click on my name to go to my page...

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that...

      Outgrow celiac?

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and g...

      Outgrow celiac?

      @Riley., Welcome to the forum, but don't do it! Don't continue to eat gluten! The health problems that will come if you continue to eat gluten are not worth it. Problems may not show up for years, but the constant inflammation and nutritional losses will manifest eventually. There's many of us oldsters on the forum who wish they'd been diagnosed...

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3

      I think your initial idea, eat gluten and be tested, was excellent. Now you have fear of that testing, but isn’t there also a fear each time you eat gluten that you’re injuring your body? Possibly affecting future fertility, bone health and more? Wouldn’t it be better to know for sure one way or the other? If you test negative, then you celebrate and get tested occasionally to make sure the tests don’t turn positive again. If you test positive, of course the recommendation from me and others is to stop gluten entirely.  But if you’re unable to convince yourself to do that, could a positive test at least convince you to minimize your gluten consumption?  Immune reactions are generally what is called dose response, the bigger the dose, the bigger the response (in this case, damage to your intestines and body). So while I am NOT saying you should eat any gluten with a positive test, the less the better.
