Yes, in my case. I was nauseaus every single day, day in/day out. I woke up every morning heaving and my dear BF would bring me a half a piece of whole wheat toast after about an hour and tell me I had to eat something.

I've kidded him that he had been poisoning me with good intentions. I only scored a "2" on skin prick testing with wheat, so I have wheat intolerance.

The way I found out is I went on clear liquids for 24 hours, then added bananas, apples and rice. The nausea (and D) stopped. (If you want to try this, make sure anything you consume during the liquid diet is wheat free, like chicken broth or teas.) If you can make your own, that's best.

A day or two later I had 1/2 piece of toast and the symptoms returned like a hurricane. That was my waa laa moment.

I forgot to say that I am not nauseas any more (thankfully, cheerfully), but if I get the slightest bit of gluten in something I eat, nausea rears it's ugly head again. So I rarely eat out, or eat something prepared by somebody else.

I had nausea daily and intermittent vomiting.

I was told to eat soda crackers for the nausea.

I was poisoning myself.

Migraine or should I say...My Grain Headaches followed so I always thought it was the flu.

It wasn't. Now I have none of these symptoms except when I get traces of gluten.

      Kirkland Quinoa allergen information

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If possible find quinoa with a gluten-free label--when grown in Peru or Ecuador it is far less likely to have wheat contamination. Canada increasingly is producing more quinoa, and when grown there it the likelihood of wheat contamination is higher.

      Refractory celiac disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Grahamsnaturalworld What exactly do you include in your diet?  Do you keep a food journal to track symptoms? Have you tried an elimination diet like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  It's very strict, but I found it excellent for reducing inflammation, calming the immune system, and promoting healing in the gastrointestinal tract.   The AIP diet was developed by a doctor who is a Celiac herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, who wrote The Paleo Approach.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Sometimes vitamin deficiencies can manifest as gastrointestinal problems.  Which symptoms do you have currently that make you think your refractory?  How long have you been on a gluten free diet?  When were you diagnosed?

      Diagnosis confusion

      I think @trents may be correct here, and you've caught celiac disease in its early stages. A gluten-free diet might be the safest approach.

      Kirkland Quinoa allergen information

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Garlic! This kind of question is always a gray area and the answer must be nuanced. Ideally, every celiac should stay away from any potential source of gluten, however small. But we don't live in an ideal world and sometimes it is appropriate to take risks as long as the risks aren't too large and the consequences not too drastic. Realize these companies work hard at covering their butts against possible litigation so they often err on the side of abundant caution to guard against this. And Costco is a very conscientious organization as well. In reality, cross contamination from shared equipment is usually not a significant threat except to those celiacs on the ultra sensitive end of the spectrum. Do you fit that category? Note, we are talking about cross contamination from using shared equipment, not other sources of CC such as happens in cultivation, transportation and storage. I mention that because some types of products are typically heavily cross contaminated in these other ways. A prime example is dried legumes.

      Kirkland Quinoa allergen information

      I recently noticed a “warning” on the back of Kirkland Quinoa packages sold in my area. It says in part: “Allergen Information: Processed on equipment that also packages products that may contain. . . wheat, . . . .” I have been buying my quinoa at Costco for years and I believe it used to have gluten free on the label. I don’t know when this warning first appeared. I’m concerned that I might be getting gluten through this source. Any thoughts, experiences? Do you think a thorough rinsing of the quinoa before cooking would help? Thank you in advance for any advice.
