Not Sure What Happened

I haven't had a dizzy spell since I went gluten-free. I had one today and don't know why. I am also having slight stomach cramps. The only things I ate yesterday that are different are Aldi smoked sausage, frozen corn and some mixed nuts from Costco. Everything else I've had before. None of those items should have gluten in them. I don't know what happened. Like I said, it's not as bad as before but it's still frustrating me! :(

Maybe it's the corn? Most of us seem to have an intolerance to that.

I read that corn is gluten-free but maybe because I'm still healing? I'm only newly gluten-free for a little over a week.

I try never to eat more than one new thing at a time. I know it's difficult sometimes, but it sure makes it easy to pinpoint what I should avoid. Otherwise, I'd be avoiding things I could actually tolerate, or even worse, having to re-ingest something that makes me feel cruddy just to fish out the culprit.

Check the label on the mixed nuts. Yesterday, found a deal on trail mix and I thought, "Oh yeah, just nuts and berries, that'll be great!" But when I looked at the label, wheat was listed as an ingredient! Leave it to the manufacturers... :angry:

I thought i was safe with the 3 new foods but maybe not. And I checked the nuts everywhere for ANYTHING and didn't see it. I had the smoked sausage leftovers for lunch today and seem to be doing ok so I'm down to either the nuts or the corn. I'll try them again separately and see what happens. Won't be for at least a few days though. lol

The nuts could have come from a shared line. There are a lot of nut mixes with pretzels in them. It doesn't have to say so on the package.

That seems dirty to me! I thought they had to list if it is even possible that there is cc in production. I've seen the listing before that basically although there is no wheat in the product, the product is produced in a facility where wheat products are produced therefore cc cannot be guaranteed. Looked everywhere for it on the nuts. Grrrr!

The shared facility warning is not mandatory. Should be.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
