Everyone,

I need help. I've been on this gluten free diet for four days now. I think I may have been glutened but it could be just a normal stomach pain. I had kettle corn and pop corn last night....is this a HUGE no no for us Celiacs? I only ask because I LOVE this stuff and am having a hard time coping with everything. My boyfriend and I haven't really talked about it, I keep saying I'm fine. When in fact I'm absolutely terrified. I don't know what I can and can't eat yet other than the obvious wheat, rye, barley and oats. I don't know what kind of seasonings I can eat and can't. My boyfriend's family is italin and they LOVE to season stuff. They are trying to accomodate me but with me not having a "list" of the no's then I can't give them anything to go off of. I'm scared to eat anything that I don't cook or know what's on it. I have to admit though I feel awesome my energy level is insane I have more now than my boyfriends 4 year old little nephew. I use to have to take naps constantly and was constantly aggitated (the boyfriend received the blunt of this poor guy!) Needless to say my lifestyle has changed drastically! For the better of course. Any one know about the popcorn or the list that I can get of the absolte no's?!?!? Please let me know asap!

Thanks!

You're stressed out, overwhelemed Celiac friend,

Amie

Popcorn should be safe (especially kettle corn) but be wary of seasoned popcorns that could have wheat based ingredients. Always read the labels. If it has something from wheat it will be listed. It is common for people going gluten free to discover new allergies and intolerances though. I just went through that myself. You may find it helpful to keep a food diary so you can spot any correlation with symptoms and potential causes. Good Luck!

What brand of popcorn is it? We can help tell you if it's gluten free if we know what brand!:)

Popcorn should be safe but check ingredients for the flavored varieties. I've always bought Orville Redenbacher's plain popcorn in a jar and popped it in my Presto PowerPop microwave popcorn maker (around $15 or so at Wal-Mart), used olive oil on it and salt. I find microwave popcorn packets to be way too salty for my taste.

That said, as much as I like popcorn, it does not like me. No clue why. Maybe there's just too much fiber for my sensitive digestive system. It used to be my favorite salty snack food. And I miss it. I test it every six months or so...and since it's the weekend, maybe it's time to try it again.

If you do a search on the brand name and gluten free you will probably find your answer.

When you are starting out it is good to eat simple foods, not lots of spices and sauces etc. Some tips below.

Not eating in restaraunts

Eating only whole foods not processed foods.

Eating only food you cook yourself, think simple foods, not gourmet meals.

Taking proboitics.

Taking digestive enzymes.

Avoiding dairy.

Avoiding sugars and starchy foods.

Avoiding alcohol.

Some threads with good info:

      gluten-free supplements in Canada

      By Kate1990 · Posted

      Hi,   I've started taking calcium citrate supplements from Webber Naturals. It says that it contains no gluten, but not that it is gluten-free. I've reached out to the company by e-mail and they have assured me that it is gluten-free. However, I think I'm reacting to it. I've searched everything else I consume and haven't found any possible source of contamination. I've been looking for other supplement brands that would be certified gluten-free and safe and have found a few options, but none of them ship to Canada. Does anyone know where I could buy calcium citrate supplements (apparently calcium citrate is the one that causes the least constipation, and this is an issue for me). Thanks in advance!

      Please help, is this Celiac?

      By Karen Rakhshan · Posted

      I am so sorry for your long-term pain and suffering. My symptoms are very similar to yours. Diarrhea for seven years now. Two doctors told me to take Metamucil. It didn’t help. Stomach pain, bloating and terrible nighttime diarrhea got worse and worse. I only stumbled upon Celiac as a possibility through a 23andMe genetic test which indicated I had the genetic marker for it. I went to my GP asking for the test and was told sure - I’ll give you the order, but you probably don’t have it. Guess what?  My blood work was off the charts positive. So high of a number, in fact, that the gastroenterologist I was sent to confirmed me even before a biopsy.  The gastro visit was just last week. I’ve been gluten free for a month now. Small improvement so far, but I’m hoping to continue healing.

      But there will still probably be times when you will get together with your brother and father in their home when food will be involved. You need to think through how you will handle that. In the meantime, separate your stuff from their stuff and keep it under lock and key if necessary.
