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...

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      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!!!

      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.
