Are Spicy Foods Safe?

Today I had a gluten free Amy's Kitchen meal - Matar Paneer - and soon after experienced moderate burning pain in my upper intestines and a mild headache.

I'm wondering if it could have been the spices.

Since being diagnosed with Celiac (about a week ago) & eating gluten free, I've been sticking to rather bland foods (mostly out of fear & confusion as to what to eat).

Any thoughts about bland vs. spicy foods? I'm hoping to still enjoy super hot green chili stew this year!

I would also get stomach burning when first diagnosed.AS time goes on and you start healing it will become less frequent.Just had some spicy Salami no burning.Gine yourself plenty of time eat basic foods at first introduce the rest gradually.Good luck things will get better.

I have read a lot of posts about people having gluten reactions to Amy's "gluten free" meals. I stay far away from them for this reason. If you are super sensitive to cc the Amy's meals may not be safe for you.

Here is an old thread with mixed reviews of Amy's:

I can't eat the Amy's meals either. When I want something quick that I can microwave, I stick with Dinty Moore beef stew and steamfresh rice.

Sorry you are not feeling well!

Spicy meals as long as they are gluten free are fine for us. Your green chili stew should be fine as long as everything in it is gluten free.

I won't buy Amy's either...I tried the pizza (not very good and grossly over-priced). Then I tried another frozen entree and it wasn't very good and my stomach hurt badly, something I didn't even have in my worse moments prior to diagnosis. Then I tried one of her soups and it was terrible...I can do better. So three strikes, she's out.

"Spicy" is fine as long as you are healed, and it's not cross contaminated nor another allergy, intolerance, or just general doesn't agree with you.

In general, everything spicy you make out of whole ingredients, like jalapenos (seeds removed, of course) is going to be a bit less risky than a manufactured product.

Being diagnosed only a week, I would expect that most foods will be bothersome, with dairy in particular.

I would keep it simple until you heal a bit and your system settles. Stay away from processed foods. You can later give it a go and see how you feel.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
