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...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
