Gluten Symptoms After First Time Eating Gluten Free Breads?

I have only been gluten-free for 5 weeks but have had trouble with gluten-free products like tortillas and pizza dough-- both times we tried them felt off the next day, crampy and icky feeling, gassy/bloated. Tried Bob's Red Mill pizza dough over the weekend and ick, same thing-- I think for me, I have never had those grains before. Just difficult to digest for me, so rather than experiment I just stick with whole foods since I've been doing well with them.

To the original poster on the original topic:

I have been gluten free for going on nine years and eating my own gluten free baked things mostly, because of problems with ingredients in commercially made gluten free goods. When I tried the BRM cornbread product last year, I had major problems with it. I then tried using a BRM "corn flour" after I recovered, to see what would happen, and had the same reaction. I'm very careful when I test myself, and I'm rather a plain eater anyway, so it was easy to see what the culprit was. We ended up throwing it out. I don't know if that batch had wheat or oat contamination, but it had something wrong for it for a celiac/gluten intolerant. (Have spoken to the store where it was purchased, the owner is celiac, very sympathetic, and is now carrying a lot more non- BRM brands of flour mixes, for the oat- reacting types.) I have, before and after this, used other corn products that were not the same brand and not had a problem, like fresh corn and this one brand of blue corn flour, which I put a little bit of in my almond meal bread sometimes. I also have eaten packaged, commercially prepared corn tortillas from a decent U.S. manufacturer with almost no reaction, compared to this. I am finding it increasing difficult to find gluten-free corn flours that aren't cc'd by something in this country, it's very exasperating. (see my username... ) Even some bloggers who had put up corn recipes recommending one particular imported brand, have had to backtrack after manufacturers change the factory they are using, and start sharing facilities with wheat products, etc.

I am trending towards considering this to being a cross reaction with oats. Just haven't wanted to blow a few days of feeling okay by testing myself with some gluten-free ones, but since my other really bad grain reaction was to another brand of corn product with undisclosed oats, it's a possibility.

I don't eat the Udi's, because of the flax in it, but sometimes we pick up a loaf to keep in the freezer, for the gluten eating spouse to be able to make a regular sandwich if he is in a hurry. Actually, I had him taste it for me (I just sniffed it) and tell me what it was like, just out of curiosity. He will eat almost anything I will bake, so it wasn't a big deal for him. If I think I have to have a "white bread" type thing (rarely) I would go for a Kinickinnick type bagel.

      Does anyone else get soaking wet sweats just out of nowhere? I’m not in menopause, there’s nothing wrong with me except celiac disease and my thyroid, and I’m taking my medicine. I am 18 days gluten-free but I cannot stop sweating and it makes me freezing cold and I’m soaking wet and changing my clothes literally as I’m changing my clothes the new clothes are soaking wet and nobody will help me. Please somebody out there help me.

      Sometimes I end up spitting out a drink of water! But for the most part I do ok with the liquids that I've been sticking to which Is hardly anything carbonated (meaning diet soda mainly)  I drink alot of tea which I make myself lipton cold brew sweetened with half sugar and half Splenda, smoothies when I could in the beginning but made with milk so I'm now using orange juice instead of the milk but it doesn't workout real often I drink black coffee in the mornings with no trouble usually and I've been experimenting with some juices but the sugar content is a set back I'm not a huge water fan but will drink it unfortunately where I live I can't do the tap water I'm the only one who has a problem with it apparently but for some reason I just can't...unless I'm using it in coffee or tea and the tea even took me some time to stand yes I have thought about boost/ ensure but they are very costly for someone who is scrapping the bottom at this time

      Do you believe your swallowing is a manifestation of your neuropathy? I'm thinking if you are having trouble getting food down you need to focus on consuming things that have a high nutritional density so that whatever you are able to get down counts for something. Have you looked at Boost and other high protein/high calorie shake products?  They are fortified with vitamins and minerals as well. Do you have any trouble with aspiration of liquids? For celiac testing purposes, the guidelines are calling for daily consumption of about 10gm of gluten - the amount in about 4-6 slices of bread - in order to ensure valid testing. That sounds like it would be a challenger for you.

      Thank you and I am aware that I should be eating a "normal" diet until tested it's kind of been trial and error for my diet or more like just ERROR! I about 1-3 bites a meal I'm to a point that 99 percent of the time I'm having trouble swallowing just about everything occasionally I find either something or a very small window of time that allows me to get very little of something! I am basically getting zero nutrition what so ever because I take one bite of the meal that I usually just slaved over just to end up tossing it when it's all said and done...did anyone else ever experience anything like this?  I am more then open to suggestions! It is taking a very extreme toll on me and my body forsure
