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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck
