Frustrated

Today I tried almond butter being that I am limited to natural foods. Well now my head is hurting. I've been eating on cashews for a while now with no reactions. Why would I react to almond butter? I read the label and the only thing is almonds and salt. I went over my food log and there was nothing else new that I added. This is so frustrating bc I am trying so hard and it seems I keep failing. Also I am bloated.

Headache and bloating are both signs of digestive problems. I have problems with almonds. It may be that your body is ok with cashews and not almonds. You may find that you need to let your system heal more and that you will be able to tolerate almonds later. I'm hoping that will happen for me. B)

I'm learning, I just figured it was natural so It would be alright. I'll stick to my fruits for a snack.

"Natural" is an abused term in American food manufacturing labeling. Look for "processed in a facility with" warnings, or check online or call the consumer advice number, to see what else was processed on the same lines - that is usually your answer.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
