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!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
