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!!

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
