Possible Glutening

I think I may have been glutened at In N Out Burger, but the odd thing is how the symptoms are manifesting.

I just kind of had a tummy ache after eating it yesterday, but nothing major, no diarrhea, etc.

Today I have a killer migraine with body aches, fatigue, dizziness, nausea....all of which are normal for me when I get a migraine BUT and pardon my french, but I only get my migraines when it's that time of the month, if you know what I mean. It's not that time right now so this migraine is atypical.

Also, my stomach has that loud noisy rumbling even though it doesn't necessarily hurt per say.

It's odd....could my symptoms really start today and not yesterday when I actually ate the gluten? I know I wasn't glutened today for sure.

Anyone else ever have this?

Oh, thank god for you guys to talk with.

Figures..tomorrow I have my first evaluation at work so I have to be really on top of my game....:( I'll come home and sleep after work.

I was getting ready to post a similar question. My husband has had the same type of reactions as you did twice lately. We knew that the day he felt that way he didn't really eat anything that could have been full of gluten we thought. We are grasping for straws & were thinking, like you, that he actually got something with gluten the day before. We weren't sure if it could work that way.

I get this at In N Out if I eat the lettuce. The lettuce is washed (like veggies in a lot of places, especially the lettuces) in a veggie wash with citric acid and I react to that. It's not a gluten thing, but I think for me an allergy to the mold used to create citric acid (aspergillus niger). Anyway, that's pretty much how I feel, though my stomach usually has a buring/inflamed feeling as well as the gurgles and migraine...

Oh my word Stephanie...you've just given me a revelation. My dd gets sick everytime she eats something with citric acid. I've been puzzled for a long time because she isn't allergic to citrus fruits. However, she's VERY allergic to mold!!

Thanks so much for the information and NO more citric acid for my little one. :)

Just so you know, citric acid for the most part does not come from citrus fruits. It is manufactured with molassas and aspergillus mold, or some similar way (always with aspergillus). Here's some info from wikipedia Open Original Shared Link

Production

In this production technique, which is still the major industrial route to citric acid used today, cultures of Aspergillus niger are fed on sucrose to produce citric acid. After the mold is filtered out of the resulting solution, citric acid is isolated by precipitating it with lime (calcium hydroxide) to yield calcium citrate salt, from which citric acid is regenerated by treatment with sulfuric acid.

Alternatively, citric acid is sometimes isolated from the fermentation broth by extraction with a hydrocarbon solution of the organic base trilaurylamine, followed by re-extraction from the organic solution by water.

I only caught on after my dad had an allergic reaction to his statin that is derived from another aspergillus. Search on this forum to find out more about it... :)

I'm sure this is also a problem for those of us who are suffering from candida as well. The worst reaction my dd had was from an organic, gluten-free juice. Looking back on it now, it must have been the citric acid.

I don't know much about "acids," as you can tell. :huh: Are acids like ascorbic, fumaric and lactic, made with mold as well?

Thanks Stephanie! :)

Yea, the gluten just may have taken awhile to cause a reaction. Sometimes I have symptoms and don't think anything of them until it gets bad, or until I notice my lovely chicken pox like bumps that I get...

      Actually, human agriculture only started 10-12,000 years ago, while the Neanderthals were gone by 30,000 years ago (and greatly diminished long before then).

      In addition to the other advice offered, perhaps you could identify some good recipes for gluten-free treats that you could make at home with your child, and maybe make a little fuss over how good gluten-free treats are. I regularly make gluten-free banana bread with different recipes that use buckwheat, garbanzo bean, etc flours, gluten-free ginger snaps...

      Celiac Disease Linked to Neanderthal Ancestry

      From the original post: "Some indicate negative effects, with putative links to various diseases as measured by genome-wide association studies (Sankararaman et al. 2014.

      Scientists Make Major Advance in Autoimmune Disease Therapy

      The main use for leukapheresis is to mitigate (not cure) certain blood disorders, particulary certain types of blood cancer. It's kind of like "thinning the herd" when your body makes too many white blood cells. Doesn't fix the underlying problem, but it buys some time. The car-T people utilize the same technology to collect enough T cells (a type of...

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Olmesartan is the ARB most strongly linked to sprue-like enteropathy, a condition that can closely mimic celiac disease with diarrhea, weight loss, villous atrophy, and often negative celiac blood tests. Some newer reports suggest this reaction may not be limited to olmesartan and could represent a possible ARB class effect, with cases reported for drugs...

      Symptoms Dismissed

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Chronic fatigue in the producer was the inspiration for the episode but I feel it touches on anyone that suffers and is dismissed as psycosomatic. The patient expressed my feelings elequently.  In episode 2 the doctor explains the problem well. I stopped all commercial milk protein like skim milk added to processed foods and in a few days there was a definate improvement in my  gut, bowel movements, discomfort etc. Still drinking several glasses of Pasture Fed grass fed milk with no negative effects.   Specifically, for myself Clonidine is the only medication that lowers my BP and the doctor did not renew it, insisting that I continue Losartan.  I think that she thinks I am abusing Clonidine and the reason the Losartan doesn't work is because I am non-compliant.  Absolutely not. Surprisingly after a few days withdrawal from the Clonidine my fasting blood sugar has gotten under control.  Fasting blood sugar near normal instead of over 160.  Last few days its been below 100.  I still need Glimiperide.  Without the clonidine my pulse rate is around 100 bpm, with it around 60.   Prescription of angiotensin receptor blockers in celiac disease is associated with persistent symptoms and surrogate markers of malabsorption.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12323722/ Angiotensin receptor blocker-associated enteropathy (ARB-e) is an increasingly recognised clinical entity with symptoms and histological findings identical to coeliac disease (celiac disease). There is evidence to suggest immune-mediated mucosal injury in ARB-e with a high prevalence of DQ2/DQ8; however, as IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG) is usually negative   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ueg2.12117 NEW research [Nov 2024] presented at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Scientific Meeting suggests that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), a class of drugs commonly used to manage hypertension, may be associated with poorer outcomes in patients with coeliac disease. Findings indicated that patients taking ARBs had a higher likelihood of experiencing persistent symptoms and markers of poor small bowel healing, such as anaemia and iron deficiency.  https://www.emjreviews.com/en-us/amj/gastroenterology/news/angiotensin-receptor-blockers-may-worsen-coeliac-disease-outcomes/

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @BarcinoHi! I am so sorry abt your son but also relieved to know I am not alone! My ttg iga is still mildly elevated but going down. Last time we checked I had some small erosions in my ileum but recently got an MRE that showed no inflammation. Calpro 70. We are still in limbo but we are taking a conservative approach as well. Please keep me updated about his situation and outcomes! I always love to hear others opinions/experiences especially ibd specialists.
