Apples and apple juice both give me a problem. Anyone here have trouble from them and are they gluten-free or not?

I also get indigestion from water..Is this cekiac related?

My g.i. doctor said a lot of people have problems with apples and other unpeeled fruits. I also have problems with apples in all forms. Have you been checked for Crohn's or colitis yet?

I was diagnosed with diverticulitis after I had developed celiac disease. I don't think the two are related, but I know unpeeled apples are out - very uncomfortable gas. They are gluten-free, but hard for some tummys to digest. If it hurts, don't.

Apples are Gluten-free Casein-free but should be Organic.

I have to delute the juice with water and peel fresh apples and dip them in Orange Juice for my son.

hey there...

i used to not be able to tolerate apples...i thought the acidity...but now i can with little issues. if they are bothering you it could be another issue, such as the acidity or fructose. is that the only fruit that bothers you?

Apples are gluten free and apple juice should be to if it is 100% juice. You have to check if it has additives.

Some people on here have said that some apples may be sprayed with something that contains gluten but that has just been a rumor and nobody actually knows for sure yet if its true. I know the organic ones I have are fine and we checked on them after that rumor to make sure.

Is it just apples or other fruits too causing you problems?

I was having a hard time with apples at first....I think part of it is the acid like someone else already mentioned but also when I started peeling them I noticed I could then tolerate them. I started to peel all the fruits I eat and I'm not having problems.

Apples are naturally known to make you go to the bathroom. Making sure that nothing was sprayed on it is key.

I used to have a hard time eating most fruits until I went gluten free. Apples were definitely one of them - they made me feel really gassy and oddly enough, very hungry (think that was a blood sugar thing). But now I can eat them pretty much no problem (sometimes still get the hunger thing). How long have you been gluten free, maybe you need to heal more first?

Before I went gluten-free bananas used to make me really hungry. It was weird, I could be just slightly hungry and eat a banana for a snack and then boom I felt like I was starving!

I used to have problems with bananas.. like feeling bloated and an upset stomach. I haven't tried eating them since being gluten-free. Do you think I should try it?

I always get a terrible burning in my chest after drinking apple juice and even if I drink apple cider too quickly. But no reaction at all if I drink Strongbow Hard Cider thankfully ;) ! Sandra in Toronto

Lisa, have you been gluten-free for about 2 1/2 months now? Do you feel a great deal of improvement with your symptoms otherwise? If so I might try another banana...but if the improvement is slow to moderate, I might give myself more time before trying a banana again. Someone people are able to eat foods they weren't able to previous to being diagnosed...like cheese/milk, fruits. Our villi contain different digestive enzymes for starches, lactose etc...and as our villi heal, we start to regain those enzymes again... That is my 2 cents :P

Sandra-

I had a Strongbow for the first time last night. They are good!

The improvement has been VERY slow, thats for sure. I guess I'll just have to wait to eat another banana :D . Thanks for the input!!

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
