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.

      Fermented foods, Kefir, Kombucha?

      I have had celiac for many years and still had terrible digestion. I cook from scratch, never eat anything with gluten ( A Gut that needs special attention seems to affect many who suffer from celiac) . I made my own Kombucha, it helped my Gut much more than the yogurt I made but I still had issues. Water Kefir did nothing. As a last resort I made MILK Kefir...

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      I have had celiac for many years and still had terrible digestion. I cook from scratch, never eat anything with gluten ( A Gut that needs special attention seems to affect many who suffer from celiac) .  I made my own Kombucha, it helped my Gut much more than the yogurt I made but I still had issues. Water Kefir did nothing. As a last resort I made MILK Kefir and it has really started healing my Gut. It has been about 2 months now and I am doing so much better. It was trial and error getting the right PH in the Kefir ferment that agreed with my stomach, too little ferment, too much, I finally hit the right one for me. Milk Kefir has the most probiotics than any of the other. I can't find my notes right now but there are at least 30 probiotics in Kefir, Kombucha has about 5-7 and yogurt around 3 if I recall correctly.  I wish you all the best, I know how frustrating this condition can be.

      Peanut Butter cookies - on the crisp side.   approx 20 smallish cookies  1 C  plus 2 tblsp rounded. 'natural' peanut butter ( the kind you have to stir to blend the PB & oils)....  I know, it's a pain!! 1/2 c granulated sugar ....plus 2 tblsp dark brown sugar 1/4 c olive oil... plus 1 tblsp 1 large egg .....and 1 tsp vanilla 2 tsp cinnamon - optional but is yummy with the PB mix the above.  In another bowl mix the following dry ingredients: 1 cup brown rice flour  ( I use this  flour as it leaves no yucky after taste in my cookies & lb cakes..... and coffee cake, I buy it at the "Bulk Barn" here in Canada....... states side try health food stores??? I'm not sure where you can buy bulk food that also carries gluten free flours. 1/2 tsp baking soda.....1/4 tsp salt   (I use the pink sea salt) Mix well or sift, then mix with wet ingredients. heat oven to 350f, line baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll about 2 tblsp dough between your hands, place on cookie sheet and press down  with a fork.   The flatter the cookie the crispier it is.     Bake 13-14 min  When done leave on baking sheet till cool. Cheers, Florence
