On my doctors advice i gave up lacto-free milk and started rice milk, little did i know it contained barley, so after two days i switched to coconut milk, which i nice enough. I had a few symptoms of course, and today is pretty bad, but it's very unusual for me today as usually i'm one of the coldest people I've ever met, but today i feel hot and uncomfortabel, ive checked my temp but am fine normal temp, but to touch i feel hot...

Does anyone else get this?

Thanks for any info!

I get hot flushes a lot. I've noticed I will get one about 2 hours after eating, every single time. I think it has to do with something in the digestive process, but I don't know what? I also get them at night. I don't think they are menopause either.

I hope this resolves for you. It's kind of unsettling when it happens.

Yes I get this when glutened. Gluten was pushing me into a premature menopause, now reversed. I had really bad hot flushes, and felt pretty hot all the time until I went gluten free. The flushes went away really quickly, along with my periods restarting. Now I am back to my normal "cold" self. If I get mildly glutened I feel my body's internal thermostat start to rise again, but I never have a high temperature as such, and it goes away again within a couple of days once I feel better generally.

I wonder if this issue is linked to gluten-induced thyroid problems? I am sub-clinically hypothyroid, and my thyroid levels were worse while I was eating gluteny foods.

Interesting. I've always been verrrrry sensitive to the heat. Since I was young. If it was the slightest bit hot, id feel really uncomfortable. Id get dizzy, have headaches, feel nauseous. My fan is on all year round. I get hot really easily. I don't know if it has anything to do with gluten, but I find it interesting anyway. I would open the window in the car and my family would be like "you CAN'T be hot!"...I'm still very new to the idea of gluten possibly being the cause of my issues so I haven't paid attention to this specifically...maybe ill test it out.

Maybe. Thanks for bringing it up. I'll pay attention.

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      Welcome to celiac.com, @Sheila G.! Was the blood test you had done designed to check for food allergies/sensitivities in general or are you referring to the blood testing that is done specifically for celiac disease? Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease? You don't say so but just wondering 'cause you are posting on a forum dedicated to that...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      I only notice recently every time I eat green beans the roof of my mouth gets slightly itchy and I get extreme dizziness. I get shaky and sweaty and it last for an hour or two before it goes away. I’ve been allergy tested in the past for food allergens only two came back positive (both in the tree-nut family) nothing in the legumes. (I d...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc. For the holidays...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By EndlessSummer · Posted

      I only notice recently every time I eat green beans the roof of my mouth gets slightly itchy and I get extreme dizziness.     I get shaky and sweaty and it last for an hour or two before it goes away. I’ve been allergy tested in the past for food allergens only two came back positive (both in the tree-nut family) nothing in the legumes.   (I do have a celiac disease diagnosis, the reason I was food allergy tested was because I ate a walnut and my lips swelled up)  I decided to test this out to be sure so I ate a couple of cooked green beans last night within 15 minutes I was spinning, my shirt drenched in sweat. My heart racing.   I’m not sure what this is, I do have issues with others vegetables  as my stomach doesn’t seem to tolerate them. Even when they’re cooked I just can’t digest them but they never made me as dizzy and sweaty as the green beans.    anyone else experience this?

Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
