I have been trying to be gluten free because I am gluten sensitive, but I still run into problems. I have the following list of ingredients I used to cook yesterday, and wonder, what did I do wrong, because I was sick the rest of the day. Please let me know your thoughts.

Hamburger

Heinz Ketsup

Hellman's Mayo

Hunt's Tomato sauce

Hunt's diced tomatoes

Bob Mills macaroni (rice and gluten free)

Onion

Garlic

Salt

Pepper

I looked up these ingredients and they are all supposed to be gluten free. Help.......

Four seperate things come to mind. First, are you doing everything possible to prevent CC in your kitchen? Second, was the hamburger fresh or frozen? If frozen, was it purchased prior to being gluten free and possibly contaminated? Third, crumbs in the mayo? Lastly, whenever I use any condiments in the kitchen such as mustard or ketchup, or touch anything from the refrigerator door... or the refrigerator for that matter, I wash my hands. Because people are touching bread, then the bottles. Very likely source of CC in my house at least, I don't know what you've got going on in your kitchen but I know what would happen here.

To add to Ad's stuff - did you use an old colander to drain the pasta? Its really hard to get all the little bits of pasta out of the holes.

If you are new to gluten free, you may just need time to heal. You could have an issue with another ingredient not related to gluten.

Its possible it was something you ate earlier in the day, too.

Your ingredients look fine so I think it would be an issue or cross contamination as mentioned earlier . . . or you need more time to heal . . .or sensitive to something else. I will also add that when my daughter first went gluten free she had a hard time with tomato products . . . kind of tough for a girl who eats ketchup on EVERYTHING. She didn't have to give it up entirely, but she cut way back.

Thank you to everyone. Sorry for the late reply, I have been out in the country.

I think that you are right about cross contamination. My boyfriend uses the mayo, and probably is not careful at all about contamination.

I have bought new mayo, and I have clearly labeled it for him not to use it. And I will look for more contamination areas.

I really appreciate the help. I will give this another try to really make sure I am not reacting to something else in the recipe.

Thanks to all of you again.

I live in Texas City, TX and there are very few options for eating out here. Since I can't eat fish or shellfish either, I have very few options. Have to go 30 miles or more to eat at a real gluten free resteraunt here. Then it is really not worth the trouble with the horrible traffic. Even the doctors near here, have no clue about this disease. They know about it, but do not have very good advice. The best advice I received was to go online and find a good gluten free web site!

Anyway, I will keep on plodding through this disease.

Thanks again.

Get some duct tape in a fun color - WAlmart or craft stores have leopard, hot pink, etc. Stick a piece of it on the lids of your mayo, PB, butter tub, etc. Then no one worries about getting crumbs in things. I make my family take the cheese, cold cuts, lettuce first and put it on a plate. Then put the cheese back in the fridge & only then, get the bread. When they forget, and realize they screwed up, I don't get mad. We just take a sharpie and put thier name or not gluten-free on the cheese packet. My 16 year old is always making gluten little pizzas. He likes to just have a pack of Mozarella with his name on it so he doesn't worry about it.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By par18 · Posted

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
