I Feel So, So Sick :(

Yum Cougie! I might just do that with some apples tonight for supper :)

In other news, I think I've glutened myself :ph34r: It really annoys me too, because I ended up making a big pot of yummy chicken and vegetable soup tonight - nice and gluten free. Then I made tuna mornay for hubby and the kids. Did I use gluten-free flour for the sauce? No! I didn't even think about it because I wasn't eating it.

I put a couple of spoonfuls in the pan and Poof! A big cloud of gluteny dust. I think I ingested some because almost immediately I got a pain in my chest like there was a big lump in the middle of my ribcage. I felt totally fine before. A couple of hours later now and I've got little crampy pains in my stomach :( So yeah, less than a full week into my new diet and I'm glutened already (I think). And I didn't even eat anything!

I highly doubt there's gluten in canned tuna...FWIW, many times it does contain soy (either soy or soybean oil), which some people cannot tolerate.

I highly doubt there's gluten in canned tuna...for FWIW, many times it does contain soy (either soy or soybean oil), which some people cannot tolerate.

I don't remember where I read that recently...it was on one of the gluten do's and don'ts lists I came across while googleing....but It was included under the catagory of "prossesed"meats....I think to keep it in one lump better? I can't remember exactly...but I remember thinking....REALLY....WAS THIS REALLY NESSASARY!!!!!?????

WHAT'S NEXT????!!!! Gluten in my bottled water? :blink:<_< who's brillent idea was it to gluten everything up anyways!!!!???? :angry::blink:

If I can find it again...I'll tell you which site it was on...but I need to find it again. :D

You are so right!!!

I was defineatly miss informed!!!

I couldn't find the article I read...(sometimes I'll save the more informitive sites in my computerfolder under "health"...but when I googled CANNED TUNA ....besides the occasional soy that you mentioned ( and one canadian brand that was flavored with teriyaki) it seemed a very gluten free enviornment! :D

My mistake :rolleyes:

Thankyou for the correction...I like tuna...but it does give me a bit of a tummy ache...probably the sandwich part!!!LOL

I miss 12 grain wheat bread!!! :(:P

Cougie your posts always make me smile! :D

surfer, I don't seem to have a problem with nightshades at this point, but it's something I'll be watchful of as I go along.

I just made this same mistake. I just ate some chocolate and feel horrible!!! Also, I was thinking that because Hershey;s is gluten free that Godiva would be too (Big Mistake) I am so nauseous now ughh! This is a very hard transition, I agree!

Twinklestars Contributor

It is hard. Especially when you have to be conscious of so many things! I imagine over time it will become almost second nature though :)

I am paying for my glutening this morning with really bad joint pain, nausea and stomach trouble :(

Twinklestars Contributor

Well my stomach has settled down to only mild cramping, but I feel wiped out! My joints are still niggling enough to make me uncomfortable as well. But the worst thing is an increase in my anxiety. I have suffered very badly with anxiety for years, and I noticed it settling down (slightly) in the last couple of days. But now I feel anxious and twitchy over nothing. Can I really react like this to gluten I didn't actually eat? Well, I suppose I ate some, but it was flour, so wasn't much!

Cougie,

Pepsi is gluten-free. Caramel color is gluten-free. We can't seem to shake off the myth about caramel color. In the US and Canada, it is made from corn. Even if it was made from wheat, as is the case in some European sources, it is so highly processed that there is no detectable gluten left in the coloring. It then becomes a very small part of the final product.

Cola products contain caffeine and phosphoric acid, both of which can irritate the digestive system.

Twinklestars Contributor

Thanks psawyer for the info. I don't drink cola drinks but it's always good to add info to everything I'm learning :)

Cougie, we don't have trader joes here. We are lucky to have lots of places that stock fresh whole foods though, and lots of local markets.

      First off, I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this for so long—being sick for half your life is unimaginably tough, and it’s huge that you’ve finally gotten some answers. A celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming (especially on top of being vegan!), but it’s also a turning point. Your body is about to start healing, and that’s hopeful! This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):    
    • Scott Adams
      Yes, it is likely your villi healed, but if you are exposed to gluten regularly again the damage will likely come back and cause some potentially serious health issues.
    • CeliacNew
      Hey yall! I am dealing with a new diagnosis. I have been sick in some sort of way for 10 years. I am 22. I can’t remember a time in the last decade I have not had some strange symptom. This last year it got way worse. I lost 40 pounds and had to drop out of school. I ended up getting and endo and blood tests and got positive results for celiac. I am looking for advice of ANY type. I am vegan so this is a big adjustment to add this to my diet. Thansk fro the help.

      I have been on a strict Celiac diet for 20 years and I tried a deep fried breaded cheese stick that I have been craving for years and no symptoms, then I tried a deep fried breaded fish sandwich and also no problems. I am 74 years old and wondering if after all these years the villa has healed, is that possible?

      Your experience with gluten is actually not unheard of! Some people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) or even celiac disease report an initial ‘honeymoon phase’ during a gluten challenge, where symptoms temporarily improve before worsening again. This could be due to your body adjusting or even a temporary immune modulation. Since you’re only 2.5 weeks into the challenge, it’s possible more symptoms could reappear if you continue. Celiac testing (bloodwork and endoscopy) is most accurate after a full 6 weeks of gluten, so sticking with it for now is wise. That said, your joint/tendon issues (especially the Achilles stiffness) are interesting—they can be linked to celiac disease or other autoimmune conditions (like rheumatoid arthritis or even reactive arthritis). Have you been tested for celiac antibodies yet? If not, that’s the next step. If the tests come back negative, NCGS or another immune-related issue (like FODMAP intolerance or mast cell activation) might still be at play. It’s also worth noting that recurrent miscarriage and elevated liver enzymes can be linked to celiac (it’s often underdiagnosed in women with ‘atypical’ symptoms like yours). But if celiac is ruled out, a rheumatologist or a gastroenterologist who specializes in immune-related GI issues might help explore other possibilities (like Hashimoto’s, Sjögren’s, or connective tissue disorders). Hang in there—it’s frustrating not to have clear answers, but you’re doing all the right things by paying attention to your body and pushing for testing. Keep us posted on how the rest of your gluten challenge goes!
