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 Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
