Strange Occurances W/ Nuts?

So my goal of getting through the holidays without being glutened was successful! I'm happy for that. I'm 9 months gluten free now, so I'm really getting a hang of the diet. I've noticed something worrisome though, and wondered if anyone else has experienced this?

I've been eating more nuts lately, to get myself more fiber in my diet. I've noticed for a few days now, after eating something with nuts in it (I was eating cashews this morning when it happened, and peanut M&M's yesterday, and it was the same thing) and it was like all of my symptoms when I get glutened all in the span of about 45mins - 1hour... It was horrible, the body aches, nausea, abdominal pain, all of it. Could I be developing a sensitivity to nuts now!?!?!?

Did you read the ingredients on the cashews? I have found wheat in some more common grocery store brands.

And peanut m&m's are supposed to be gluten-free but some people experience cc issues with them. I have decent luck with them but I've learned never to repeatedly eat any mainstream candy, even if it's gluten-free. I can only take so much before it gets me.

The cashews were Planter's. I learned my lesson with the store brands the hard way. I've never had an issue with them, but maybe they got CC'd?

Or maybe you're having a cumulative reaction...

That's what happens to me.

I can't eat out more than 1x a week, can't eat too many processed mainstream supposedly gluten-free foods (like m&m's)....if I do I start having weird things happen.

Or, you could be developing a nut allergy.

Lay off them a while or switch brands and see what happens.

I became sensitive to cashews years after going gluten free. Not sure if it is cc or to the cashews, but they just go thru me too fast. And this is a bummer because I like them and they are in a lot of the Lara bars flavors now. So I looked up what family of plants these things are from, and they are related to.... drumroll..... poison ivy. :blink::ph34r: How they process cashews so they are edible by humans is quite complex.

Although a nut in the culinary sense, in the botanical sense the nut of the cashew is a seed. The seed is surrounded by a double shell containing an allergenic phenolic resin, anacardic acid, a potent skin irritant chemically related to the more well known allergenic oil urushiol which is also a toxin found in the related poison ivy. Properly roasting cashews destroys the toxin, but it must be done outdoors as the smoke (not unlike that from burning poison ivy) contains urushiol droplets which can cause severe, sometimes life-threatening, reactions by irritating the lungs.

Since I am quite sensitive to poison ivy/oak this at least made me feel better about avoiding the cashews now. B)

Possibly switch brands, and see how you react. From the list here (foods to avoid) Open Original Shared Link it shows

Planters

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
