Glutened By Prescription Products?!

Sorry i can't seem to find much on here about this but i ate a glutafin pizza base which is part of my prescription and i now have a big belly ache and i had a very small Bm with lots of mucus about 2-3 hours after eating. Felt sick, tired, got a headache and felt hot and cold all over, my usual glutened symptoms. Has anoyone else had problems with the codex wheat stuff? I thought it would be fine?!?! I am a super sensi celiac by the way.

Love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

I personally have never tried any products that use Codex but I have read of quite a few folks that have had an issue with it. With you being 'a super sensitive' celiac IMHO it would not be something your body will tolerate.

Similarly I can't tolerate "glutino" products. The effects don't last as long as other cross contamination episodes, but its still intense while it lasts. Thus my credo is to just avoid it and anything else with similar properties.

If you're super sensitive, I'm sure the Codex products will NOT work for you at all.

      Brilliant news for British Coeliacs!   Colin was launched in 1990 so I am fortunate in that I was able to try this amazing chocolate swissroll cake before my diagnosis.  But the good news is he has now appeared in the Gluten Free aisle at M&S, and also is available home delivery through Ocado. https://www.marksandspencer.com/food/made-without-wheat-gluten-free-colin-the-caterpillar/p/fdp60761680

      Re: Michelin star.  To give an example, the Ritz Hotel in London has two Michelin stars.   Here's another article about Michelin stars - from our own archive.

      Very helpful @knitty kitty.  Thank you.  I am trying to remember what vitamin so alarmed my GP and I have a feeling it was A or E.  I remember reading the pills contained well over the 100 per cent RDA of whatever the vitamin was. One thing I'd love to ask you that has always intrigued me.  One day when my anxiety was completely through the roof.  I 'felt the fear and did it anyway' - a phrase other anxiety sufferers may be aware of, which I found a powerful tool in my recovery -  and visited a friend's house, even though I felt so wretched.  For some reason I craved milk and drank two whole pints of milk in quick succession while I was with her - to this day I can't think why, because I don't usually drink milk 'neat' - I like it in tea or coffee, or hot chocolate.  But I distinctly remember within a couple of hours feeling absolutely fine again for quite a while.  I've often wondered was it down to this milk, which I've since understood contains quite decent levels of B12.  Would that have really worked so fast?

      @trents  Good question.  We are strict at home, although I have to admit I've eating the odd chocolate at Christmas that turned out to have been made in a shared facility.  But that  is very unusual for me, and I had my last blood test before Christmas anyway.  Therefore I have concluded that eating out must be the issue.  But I'll let you know in September when I have my next blood tests done.  😊

      Thanks very much for taking the time to write this. I have been pretty worried so appreciate reading any advice. Yes, the endoscopy will include a biopsy, and we have hopefully found a good pediatric gastro to guide us through it all.  Will also run the HLA typing - I have the swabs ready to go.
