Glutened Or New Allergy?

I've been gluten free since the end of January and I've seen a HUGE change for the good in all my crazy symptoms.

My problem now is that the D that I had intermittently is now coming on worse and I have a lot of rumbling in my stomach after consuming different foods. It's getting hard for me to tell which food I'm reacting to. I don't know if I'm continuing to react to say, what I had for breakfast because I will have worse D at night so maybe it could be dinner too???

Today for example: I had applesauce (I made it myself from homegrown apples) and corn chex for breakfast. I started feeling sick a bit after, broke out in some hives and all over felt sick, so I figured the chex were on my no list for now....but fastforward to dinner and all of a sudden my stomach is rumbling worse and I have bad D. I don't know if that's a continued reaction from the chex or if I've added a new issue to my list of things I can't eat (gluten, soy, rice, lactose). I make all my food myself, I'm eating basically fruits, veggies, potatoes and chicken or hamburger. The chex was the only thing I was eating packaged and listed "gluten free." For dinner I made a soup with black beans, hamburger, tomato sauce and green chilies and a salad with olive oil dressing.

Can something that you're reacting to last all day and display worse symptoms 12 hours later? I'm just feeling like I'm going a little crazy. I'm still feeling great in between discovering things that make me sick, and I'm more than willing to cut stuff out while I'm hyper sensitive and add them in slowly later....I just need to know what it is I'm reacting to!

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

What are you putting on the Rice Chex as a milk alternative?

Yes the reaction to something you are intolerant to can show up later in the day or even a few days later. It can make it hard to pinpoint what it is that is getting us. A symptom and food log can be helpful in finding a pattern.

I'm really sensitive and I know I can't eat any of the Chex cereals. I tried them all & I always get acid reflux, a sore throat and a tender tummy the next day. It usually lasts for three days. This is my usual gluten reaction, but I'm not sure if there's CC of gluten in the Chex or not or if I'm reacting to something else in them. It's still a mystery to me. :unsure: It sounds like your reacting to them also. I just wouldn't eat them & see if you feel better. If you haven't started a food journal already, it would be a good idea to start one & see if you react to other foods. It really helps me since I always get reactions the next day.

I hope you feel better! :)

Hives is an allergic reaction that will show up right after eating a food you are allergic to. Do you know if you are allergic to a certain food?

Intolerance side effects can show up long after you eat the food, so your D might be a reaction to food you ate yesterday.

Do you keep a food diary? That will help you pin point which foods are giving you problems. If you find that you get hives every time you eat corn chex, you might be allergic to something in the chex. Or, if you get D every time you eat your home made applesauce, then something in it is giving you D.

Ok, so starting a food journal right away. I've been meaning to for a couple weeks but I'm doing it for real now.

Yes, the chex are way gone. I'm giving them to my sister to eat.

I will just start writing everything down when I get symptoms and after a while I'm sure patterns will pop out.

Interestingly enough, I am having more gastric issues now that I'm gluten free than I did before....it's like I'm finally giving my system enough of a break to try and deal with stuff and it's extra sensitive. My other symptoms are so incredibly improved I can't believe it. I've gone from needing 9-10 hours of sleep (and still feeling tired) to now not being tired enough to sleep until after 12 and getting up 6 hours later ready to greet the day! I feel like a new person, so I can deal with a little cramping and D while everything shakes out.

Thanks again!

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.

      Hello, @Mrs Wolfe, I crushed three vertebrae moving a chest of drawers.  I take a combination of Thiamine Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, and Pyridoxine B6.  Together these vitamins have an analgesic effect.  I think it works better than OTC pain relievers.   I also like  "Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan 120 Tablets" .   It's all three vitamins together in one pill.  Works wonderfully!

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      It's the Potassium Iodide in the HRT pills that is triggering Dermatitis Herpetiformis and the increased IGG levels.   The thyroid is stimulated by the Potassium Iodide, which stimulates immune cells to make more IGG antibodies.   Thiamine Vitamin B1 helps the thyroid function.  I like Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax.
