I'm Having Reactions Like Gluten In The Morning And Miday And Don't Know Where To Turn.

Today I ate a protein shake and gluten-free o's. As soon as I had to go to the store with my kids, I had to go again. I had to go again at the store, barely making it. At first I feel nautious and then I have to poop. I just took 2 imodium. I haven't had gluten. I just don't know. I had an Amys tv dinner last night and cottage cheese. I also had some coconut died. Should I try to find a diatitian to help me? I'm not sure it would be covered by our insurance. I just hate feeling anxiety like I'm going to get sick in the car. It is the worst. Should I try a certain diet, Palio or I have no idea. I'd love ideas of what to aliminate. The protein shake was soy and diary. Do some people have more trouble with soy than diary? I also ate a big salad yesterday. Was that too much? I would love your thoughts. Thanks so much.

There are folks that do react to Amy's because of CC issues. If your new to the diet you should be going with more whole foods and less processed.

Soy and dairy are also things that some of us have issues with.

You may want to go with more whole foods and keep a symptom and food log. Reactions can be delayed so it is helpful in seeing a pattern.

I hope you feel better soon.

No I've been on the diet for a year. Most of the time I'm ok. This last week I've had some symptoms and today was pretty bad. I also had a gluten-free donut last night. Sometimes I react to them, such a bummer because they are so good. I will try to start writing things down. But who could help me with it from there?

I figured it out by keeping a food diary. I kept track of not only what I ate, but what brands they were. Some celiacs are sensitive to lower levels of gluten than others. Some of us have problems with cc from shared facilities and some of us don't. Some of us have other food intolerances. A food/symptom journal was invaluable for me. I wish you the best with figuring it all out. We are all different, though there are some commonalities and finding people who react like you do can be very helpful. It can also be helpful to keep track of amounts eaten, cc is additive.

My first thought would be the Amy's. But... You could also have a food allergy or intolerance. I am intolerant to several foods. Just a slight amount of egg or dairy will give me symptoms like you describe. Before you do anything else, you might want to keep a food diary. Just buy yourself a cheap notebook and write down everything that you eat. Then if you have a reaction, write that down and the time as well. My reactions are much delayed. So they often occur about 16 hours after I eat the offending food.

I too found out a lot w/ a food/symptom diary. It helps to be eating more simply, or you may only narrow down the issue to "one or more ingreds in this 3 inch list".

So, gluten-free for a year and mostly ok is a pretty good scenario for the diary to be helpful.

Was that the 1st time you tried the protein shake or that particular type of Amy's dinner?

Btw, if you use a smartphone, it's pretty handy for the diary when wondering what happened last time Product/Food X was eaten. Cntl-F search "food x" and Bam, I'm reading it.

Also, if this week is the worst of a whole gluten-free year, did a neighbor just get a hay delivery? Or if you have a pet, made a change in petfood? Or something else change besides ingestibles? Worth thinking about if this week worst in a yr.

      COVID19 and getting glutened

      By lauramac · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease abput 10 years ago. When I was initially diagnosed my only "symptom" was persistently low iron (that occasionally dipped into anemia). After diagnosis,  over time, I started to develop symptoms when exposed to gluten--they have been overall relatively minor, but have increased over time (and yes, I realize my guts are likely being wrecked regardless of the symptoms) on the rare occasions I've been exposed to gluten. I had COVID19 last week (now testing negative) and was glutened last night (never trust anything labeled gluten-free in a mixed environment). I had my traditional symptoms (sharp gas pains, burping, nausea, stomach ache) but they were accompanied by new, more intense symptoms (muscle cramps all over my body--feet, calves, biceps, neck, shoulders, jaw, abdomen, I'm still sore today and cold sweats). I spent about 6 hours writhing before I felt well enough to get up.  I have been told by my allergist that COVID19 can cause your immune system to hyper react. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.   Has anyone else had experience getting glutened post COVID19? Relatively shortly after recovering from COVID19? Was it a more extreme reaction or same? I can't seem to find any articles on this, so I thought I'd ask the community.  Thank you!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.
