i started my daughter on a gluten free diet 5 days ago, she was feeling great until today. she started complaining of her stomach and head hurting again....i have been really careful what i give her to eat. i did however make some gluten free bread for the first time last night and today she had her first gluten free macaroni and cheese, i took the cheese packet from a kraft mac and cheese box and used gluten free rice noodles.....that is the only 2 different things i have done today, could it be one of those things that i fed her that did this to her???

First, Welcome! It will get easier as you go on, I promise :)

I used the mac and cheese packet from kraft all the time...a simple indulgence I have :)

Have you checked your pots and pans? Gluten can get stuck everywhere! It can hide in the baking, your pot, and your colander you used. The colander/strainer is a very hard thing to completely clean. Many people buy all new pots, pans, spatulas, etc...

I didn't think about the pot! Maybe that is what it is from, she has also been very gassy since last night....she has always been gassy but got better the first few days now it's back.

Did you use the colander to drain the noodles? Was it the same one you used for gluten noodles? Colanders are really hard to get everything out of each hole.

First did you get new colanders /strainer as mentioned above this is an item almost impossible to decontaminate fully ?

Although the cheese packet contents are gluten-free, the pasta that it was boxed is in not. Could any pasta crumbs have gotten into your pasta ?

Has she had Gluten free bread prior to you making this loaf ? If not some people have reactions to xantham gum ! which brand was it you made ?

I bought a new colander, and the bread was bobs red mill brand...

In the beginning, lots of weird things are going to happen. Don't sweat the single occurrence, look for patterns.

I'd watch milk, assuming that Mac n cheese has milk in it not soy, etc. or, it could just be one of those days.

My first thought is the Kraft cheese packet since it was touching the pasta - maybe some cc. Annie's makes a gluten free boxed mac and cheese - I get mine in Target for a lot cheaper than the grocery store. Also Amy's has a frozen gluten-free mac and cheese that we keep in the freezer for emergency dinners.

I use the packet from regular mac and cheese all the time time without a problem because I don't care for Amy's noodles. I am also super sensitive and never have any problems just because the outside of the packet touches the noodles.

Well she did much better today, she did get a headache but no stomachache and she was not gassy all day. She had gluten free, milk free pancakes for breakfast, salad with ham and carrots for lunch, kettle chips for a snack and rice and beans with raisins for dinner and kinninick(sp?) gluten free cookies for dessert.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      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.
