Does anyone here have IBS? Books say you need to eat a little all day to not get the d. Is that true for you?

Also does anyone know about gluten-free pancake mixes? I seem to get the d the day I eat them, any clue here? This time it was bisquick?

I've never had a problem with bisquick. If you react to premade mixes perhaps it is SOMETHING in those mixes that could be setting you off (ie: some use soy and other such products)

On the other hand, perhaps Bisquick is gluten free enough for the "vast majority" but not quite gluten free enough for you. At least, not at this point in your healing process.

Another possibilty is that your system can't handle refined carbs just yet. How do you do with potatoes?

All the oil that you use to cook the pancakes?

I can eat gluten free cakes and cookies no problem. It just seems to be the pancake mixes. How do I test for this. I can eat buttered toast. So pretty clueless at this point. I eat millet bread no problem. I can eat potatoes. Not sure about the quinoa. I had surgery 3 weeks ago, almost 4 so things could be messed up in there. Do I take immodium if I have trouble and have to drive? How do you all cope if you get a reaction?

My IBS was Actually a symptom of my Celiac Disease. I had problems with d all my life, but it becameconstant about 10 years ago, when I actually had to be hospitalized. If your still having d, it could be that you are eating some other food to which you are sensitive. For example, I can't eat eggs that aren't just used as a minor ingredient. You may need to look at what else you are eating with your pancakes. Good luck.

I'm sorry I forgot to add two more things. I think IBS with Celiac Disease is a totally different animal from normal IBS. Before I was gluten free I followed the instructions, eat little bits through the day, eat lots of fiber. The problem is, I don't know about but you but when I'm about to have a bout of d I get nauseous and can't eat. The other problem is lots of fiber just pulled the food out faster then normal and I absorbed even fewer nutrients from food, it just made it worse. You already know I'm sure that hormonally speaking woman are more susecptible to d during menstration. So there are lots of variables.

I seem to be able to eat eggs in cookies. But in the pancakes it is questionable. Though it seems to be ok in french toast. So that brings me back to the baking mix.

How would you decifer the culprit out of the ingredients. clueless. How do you test for egg alergy? Can alergy Dr. do test for eating eggs alergy? Could he be of any more help with baking ingredients and my potential allergy? Thanks.

Since you suspect egg, the first thing you can try is to prepare the bisquick without egg. Not tasty, but possibly educational.

If you know applesauce or banana work for you, you could replace the egg with one of those.

If that works, then you could try preparing the pancake mix with only the yolk or only the white. (This is a not a perfect test since it is hard to separate the egg perfectly).

You can get blood tests for egg intolerance. I don't think docs are all that helpful in this particular area, but you could get lucky. I am working with a NP who mostly deals with autistic children. Cheaper than a doc, and she's very familiar with these sorts of tests.

In the meantime, you could read up on testing food intolerances. I think the Jonecja book is good- "Dealing with Food allergies" She tells you exactly what to do, when and in what order. The book is aimed towards allergies (epi-pen type reactions) but will work for food intolerances.

      Gluten related ??

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
