I have only been gluten-free for three months and I am still getting sick sometimes. I've switched all of my spices to the McCormick green label (in Canada). Do I have to buy special salt and sugar. I have been using sea salt and unrefined cane sugar, but do I really have too? There seems to be a lot more info. for U.S. products than for Canadian ones and I'm having a tough time with many products.

Hey, Richard, where have you been? I haven't seen you in months! (on either board)

Hi celiac3270,

I've been around but not as much since January. Life is still far from "normal" for us.

(We also just got back from a short vacation to Philly).

Thanks for asking. Good that you're back after the computer problems.

No, you can use regular salt and sugar, which saves on money. Are you doing your own food prep? Is there anyone else in the house with you? After nine years of celiac disease, I joined this forum and found out I may have been glutenating myself with my two decades old and pre-celiac disease wooden spoons. Those have since been thrown out. I'm hyper vigilent now and am feeling better than ever. I wash hands way more often than I used too and put everything I'm peparing on a paper towel or plate or something. We're renting and the kitchen counter looks like it has had three or four decades of people preparing food directly on it. Probably lots of those d**n gluten proteins in all of the surface cuts. My husband is very aware of cross contamination; I used to have four kids in the house and looking back on it I was probably being cross contaminated nearly every day. Just keep working at it, it will get better.

Sorry... :( I thought maybe that had something to do with it...I can only imagine how long it takes to get past the initial shock/grief of that. :unsure:

Yes my husband eats gluten foods like bread and cereal. But all the cooked meals are gluten-free. I never thought about the wooden spoons being contaminated. Thanks for your help.

Do you have Domino sugar in Canada? I emailed them in April 2005 for my own interest, wondering if they used gluten in their caramel coloring. They said that their coloring is gluten and corn free, they only use corn starch (which is safe) in their powedered sugar, and all of their sugars are gluten-free. Hope this helps!

No I have never seen Domino's sugar here. So just to be safe I e-mailed the company that I would normally use. I keep reading conflicting info. on sugar and spices. I guess my safest option is contacting the companies.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
