Did I Have A Reaction To Strawberry Jelly Yesterday Evening?

I ate a bowl of gluten free cereal with gluten free peanut butter and this 100% fruit strawberry jelly mixed together. Within about 30-60 minutes of eating it I got 2 itchy bumps (hives?) on my right leg and I became super bloated. I also felt a little "out of it". And strangely enough the constant relentless hunger I've been experiencing the last week or so disappeared (temporarily I'm sure) after I ate that.

The jelly is this brand - Open Original Shared Link

The only ingredients are strawberries, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and fruit pectin. It is not listed as gluten free. I've tried calling them, they never pick up.

I'm also pretty sure I have candida albicans. Yesterday I consumed a lot of sugar (albeit from good sources like fruit, raw honey, etc) so I'm thinking I maybe overloaded my system with sugar and that's what caused this reaction?

Have any gluten eaters used the jelly or pnut butter? You can get CC'd from crumbs from gluten eaters 'double dipping'. I have never seen a jelly that wasn't gluten free but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Also did the gluten-free cereal you ate have oats? There are some of us, myself included that do not tolerate oats in any form even certified gluten-free.

I agree with Raven also and i'll throw this in. I react to all gluten free cereals. You may have had a reaction to the cereal. Just a thought.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      Thanks for the post on Vitamin D.  I have been living in south Florida and have been taking moderately higher doses of vit D. I am considering the Mushroom supplements and exporing Real Mushrooms, the brand. Not sure. If you have any thought, please share. I am curious about all things homeopathic.

      About 9% of celiacs react to the protein in oats (avenin) like they do gluten. The dairy protein casein is also known to damage small bowel villi like gluten does in some celiacs. In addition to that, many manufactured gluten-free food products contain difficult to digest polysaccharides like xanthan gum that are famous for causing digestive distress.

      Your  post is excellent. Thank you!! I have been trying to keep my diet "truly gluten free," but as you know, it's a  sneaky allergy, especially if you have a heightened sensitivity. So ironically, and sadly, no medical person told me to stay away from "gluten free oats.".  To my own fault, my lack of awareness led to years of eating  massive bowls of gluten-free oatmeal, sometimes twice a day. Awful right?  I am sure this added to the recovery time. I think I have been super vigilant for the last 12 months, but I wonder. I  haven't gone to a restaurant in a long time. My wife is frustrated with my social situation but truthfully I need to get this condition over with. Thanks again.

      Thank you so much for the caring reply. It really helps to be getting feed back on this. Thank you Celiac.com!  The skin lesions are in the last stage. Some are larger and take more time but much better. I look at photographs from 2 years ago and I shudder.  The stomach issues prevail,  although incrementally improved, even after a stay at MayoClinic this past year. Thank you again

      @Pablohoyasaxa, if your diet is truly gluten free you should not still be experiencing stomach cramps and diarrhea. So, maybe gluten is still getting in there somehow or you have developed other food intolerances which, by the way, is very common in the celiac population. Are you still consuming dairy and oats (even gluten free oats)?
