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

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!!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
