Is This Normal

I am new to all of this. I have been gluten free for just over a week now. I did bc I have various issues that always arise and when researching all can be linked to gluten. After day 2 I felt horrible but after that have felt better than ever. Well today I had a taco from Moes and about 4 chips. On they way home I started feeling really bad achy almost and wanted to throw up my food. I read on here that the chips and shells may have been contaminated. Would I seriously get this bad of a reaction after only a week? I have been a HUGE bread eater all of my life and was really hoping I could still eat some gluten. Is this normal or am I just crazy? I am starting to feel a little better but never want to eat a taco there again!

Well tacos are pretty greasy, which can upset a damaged digestive system. Since you've just started, I would suggest staying away from restaurants until you have a gluten-free routine down. If it makes you feel any better, my body reacted oddly during my first week as well. Just give it time and stick to foods that you know for sure are gluten free :)

It sounds like you probably got glutened from Moe's. A lot of us react very strongly to small amounts of gluten after being gluten free. The last I checked, Moe's chips were listed as made from flour tortillas and not safe for celiacs, although maybe they changed their ingredients.

Moe's tacos are not gluten-free. They fry them in a shared fryer with gluten foods. They have gluten-free info on their website and tacos and chips are not on the list of safe foods.

You really have to research before you go anywhere, never assuming that because a food seems gluten-free, then it is. McDonald's, for example, has gluten in their fries. Taco Bell has it in all items on the menu but the mexican rice. Some places but gluten in their beef patties, and so on.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?
