I Think I Found Relief From Glutening

I have only recently been diagnosed, by symptoms. After my first 5 weeks gluten-free I had symptoms that felt like I had gluten.. headache, stomachache, muscle convulsions, mood swings, anxiety.. I was panicked, desperate, and scared. It took 2-3 days for me to recover from that.

That was 3 weeks ago. Yesterday, an hour after eating a few new foods I just got at the store, It started again. Symptoms came on swiflty. At first I inspected the suspect foods, but I couldn't think straight. I tried to calm myself and ponder how I was going to handle this. It dawned on me to try a large dose of amino acid complex. I was so messed up I had to ask my husband to retrieve them and count six for me. I could hardly control my motor functions because of the muscle convulsions. it was horrible.

Within 20 minutes I noticed a difference. Within an hour, I felt almost normal again. I am not exactly sure what happened, but I have been studying biological chemistry in my spare time and I plan to find out as much as I can in order to manage my life in spite of my condition.

The culprit, we suspect, was Jaxn's Brand Twice-Baked Potato Stix. The front of the bag says "Gluten Free" but I still read the ingredients before purchase. However, I missed the bold type underneath that states, "Baked in a facility that also produces products containing wheat." Is that enough to do it, really? Has anyone else had experiences with essential aminos supplements?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
