Wheat Bran?

does wheat bran have a high gluten content?

I ask because on moday arvo i ate some little pancakes made with wheatbran an egg and yoghurt and the next morning i woke up with a red itchy rash on my neck. i suffer from excema but this was slightly different but definitely not the celiac rash (cant think of the name) its now friday night and it has gone away mostly just have some dry patches. i also have dermatitis on my fingers that will flare up from time to time and never really goes away but havnt been able to link flare ups to anything in particular.

I have had gut problems that could be related to gluten but have never been able to make any direct link of symptoms to gluten containing foods and have had the blood tests and they came back negative.

since the rash has gone i plan to eat some wheat bran tomorrow to see if i get the same reaction.

i know that if you have celiac any amount of gluten can cause symptoms but could having a high gluten content food cause a more obvious reaction?

"since the rash has gone i plan to eat some wheat bran tomorrow to see if i get the same reaction."

Umm, why? You got a reaction from it, and you want to repeat this experience?

Yes, the more gluten you eat, the more reaction you will get. If externally you are getting rashes, and you believe you might have celiac, imagine what you could be doing to your intestines. :o Avoid the injury! (Going for the dramatic here!) Save yourself!!! Don't eat it, Just say NO! :P

But really, don't eat it--bad news.

Yeah.

Wheat bran is part of wheat. I wouldn't eat it.

Sounds like you are doing some sort of test.

I'm with them.....wheat bran is gluten, whether its high content or not, you had a rash! Why on earth would you test that out on yourself again?

If it were me, I'd eat it again. I'd want to be absolutely sure gluten is causing problems before eliminating it for the rest of my life. You didn't say if you're eating gluten free right now? If not, you may want to for a few weeks first. Then try the wheat bran in/on a food that you're eating that definitely doesn't cause you to break out. If the pancakes were a new food for you, you may be reacting to the bran or to another ingredient.

And have you been tested for wheat allergy? I don't know much about wheat allergies, but I always thought a red rash meant allergy and not intolerance. (I could be WAY off here, though, so take this with a large grain of salt

yea i was tryna do a test to see if it wasnt just a fluke thing.

im not currently gluten free since i havnt been able to atribute any of my symptoms directly to gluten and blood tests were negative and havent been game enough to cut it out

the only ingedients in the pancakes were egg yoghurt and wheat bran, i dont think iv eaten wheat bran before but i eat yoghurt and egg all the time thats why i thought it could have been the wheat but in saying that i eat gluten foods all the time too

You could always try eating barley to take wheat out the equation altogether.

Good luck!

Barley :ph34r:

If your are eating gluten free I would pass on the barley.

I meant that the OP could test her reaction to gluten by eating barley. That way she would know if she reacted to wheat due to a wheat allergy vs due to gluten.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
