teemaree

I guess others out there may have experienced the same thing I am at present.

I am lucky, that I have a family, inlaws, and friends, that are being very supportive of my celiac..

They all could see how I have been falling apart and loosing way too much weight, and how I am just not the person I was, depression, sadness, forgetfull, and just look dreadful!

When I was finaly diagnosed, it was a relief in some ways, for them and for me. To have an actual reason as to why I was deteriorating before everyones eye.

My problem is, They are trying to be to helpfull!

They go out shopping and buy me food items, spending lots of money of them, thinking that I will love it and be so appreciative of it. And I am in a sense. I am grateful that they were so kind in thinking of me, and wanting to be helpful, and that they all love me so much, they want to see me gain weight and be healthy.

But they go to bakeries, and supermarkets etc... and see Gluten free on packages, or some bakeries specialise in gluten free products, and they buy these items for me.

With the products they buy, they don't recognize that there is other things that I have reactions too!

And the bakeries tell them, that they sell a lot of their items to celiacs, and they are fine, there is nothing wrong with them.

So my family members buy these products for me...

like Gluten free bread, and recently and beautiful queich, which was filled with vegetables ,it didn't have any kind of crust etc.. and looked to be fine...

My problem is, I had bad reactions to the things they spent a lot of money on!!

I have now learnt, that to just try and little piece of things and wait an hour or so....and see what happens. Well everytime I do that with the products they have bought me...I have gottern extreamly sick and in pain.

This not only leaves me feeling ill and sick and in pain. But also mentally challenges me.

I feel they don't believe me, when I say the item made me sick.

I sometimes know that the things has ingredients that I will react too, but just try it to appease them , because I know they were being thoughtful, and spent large sums of money on the items.

Then I get very depressed, because I feel I let them down, and I feel like they think that the sickness is all in my head.

they phone up and say how was the "item" did you like it?

and I have to say I had a bad reaction, then it hurts their feelings, and they think I am ungrateful.

But if I lie and say yeah it was good.. they go out and buy more!and waste all their money on food for me.

The other day after trying the queich that my in laws bought, I was on the lounge and in pain....

I said to my husband, I can't eat what they bought me... he rolled his eyes and shook his head.

And I felt so guilty about it.

I thought I have to proove it to him!

So as he walked past me.... I said here place your hand on my tummy ..........he put it there for a minute, and it took a bit till my stomach kicked and I said can you feel it?

He said yeah!... it sort of felt like a baby kick...

I said yeah that's it... that is constantly going on in my stomach, I feel so sick, you can hear my stomach it's saying I can't eat that item! Then I get all headachy and tired.

I hate this... I hate letting my family down when they are only trying to be helpful and loving and supportive.

Then the other issues where my family want me to go out etc... I try, but then they are left feeling guilty cause I can't eat anything... or others offer me food , and I say no thank you... and then they feel they have to tell the person that offers me the food, that I am celiac... then I feel like I have the plague or something...

Are there ways to get around these types of problems?.... or not really?

I just have to go on feeling guilty and hurting peoples feelings ?

These are the ingredients in the salasa....

tomatoes diced hydrated capsicum, rehydrated onions,salt, sugar,acidity regulator,rehydrated peppers,spices and garlic.

mushroom where are you at?

Mushroom, when you eat Sakata rice crackers , plain ...Do you have no reactions?...

See that was my down fall, I bought fantastic because they were on special and just assumed they were pretty much the same thing, I had sakata plain rice crackers at a party, and they didn't seem to effect me at all.

Husbands are sweet though ... trying to be helpful with gluten free stuff for us...

I did explain last night to mine , that Fantastic products aren't to be trusted , because of the other ingredients they throw in there... what appears fine saying gluten free, isn't always as it seems...

Thank you for posting and letting me know that you also have had the same problems with their stuff...and that you don't eat their items.

I certainly will steer clear of their products in future.

Mushroom, have you tried coles own brand mild salsa?...... I also discovered that at the same party, it doesn't have gluten free writen on the package, but I checked the ingredients and gave it a try, and it was great!.... nice and tasty.. no reactions.

Also my husband came home with some crunchy coconut biscuts made by freedom food, you get them from woolworths,gluten ,wheat, dairy free.....

I tried a couple of them last night... and they seemed good.... no gut reactions to them.

yeah well it's pretty clear by this... that it has wheat...

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein - A protein from wheat which has been turned partly into water through hydrolysis. Proteins are the nitrogen carrying constituents of living cells.

Here is something else.....

my husband went out shopping and came home with another "fantastic" product that had GLUTEN FREE...all over it.... he didn't read the ingredients , just saw the gluten free on the packaging...

I said Don't trust them.... I bet there is harmful things in this....

It was "fantastic" glass noodles....in a cup, that put boiling water in...

Again big clear signage on box GLUTEN FREE!!!

you check the ingredients

mung bean starch

salt, chicken flavour,soy,flavour enhancers E62,E627 E631herbs, spices,sugar maltodextin, yeast extract

So the flavour enhancers seem to be msg and so does the maltodextin, and yeast is a no no....

I am going to check up the laws on labeling here.... they are representing themself as being helpful to celiacs , but yet they aren't?

it doesn't seem right!....

I am familiar with with lamb bought from coles meat cabinet?... is that what you mean?...

what cut of meat did you get?.... and are you getting reactions to it?....

I have always found the meat at coles to be good.... they also have a huge range of gluten free sausages... which is what I just about live on...

Yesterday I had some lamb cutlets from coles....

This was in another post , but thought I would add it to this....

how could it be gluten free?

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein - A protein from wheat which has been turned partly into water through hydrolysis. Proteins are the nitrogen carrying constituents of living cells. Protein treatments are said to be beneficial to hair and skin.

So really hydrolyzed wheat is an extract from wheat?

This is so wrong!....

The way they misrepresent, Wheat =gluten

Well that's what I was lead to believe?.....

So they call a wheat product another name?... and it changes it from having gluten or other reactive substances?

I live in Australia and I really thought they were quite stringent on labeling, apparently they aren't?

and I just found this statement from Fantastic snacks

Okay ... I am so so angry with myself!............

After being knocked off my feet for 4 days after accidental ingestion..(soy)

I have not been able to face food , till today, I was ever so careful, just eating salmon, and salad,

but later tonight I got a bit hungry , and thought.. ahhhh I have some rice crackers in the cupboard, that will fill the hunger. I had eaten rice crackers before, but this was a different brand...

I checked the front of the pack that was labeled all over it , "gluten free"

Thinking that "original plain rice crackers",wouldn't have any hiden ingredients I didn't read the pack...

30 minutes later, the punching fight inside my stomach started, grumbling and murmering....I thought yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... and ran for the pack to see what on earth would be in original rice crackers

there it was............rice flour, seasoning powder,soy sauce powder (contains soy,hydrolysed wheat flavour enhancers)

I am just posting this as a warning to others!.........I guess noone else would be as stupid as I was...

and trusted that rice crackers with gluten free written all over it would be fine!

The brand of the crackers is "FANTASTIC"

I will never ever eat a dang rice cracker again after this.............If I wake up with gluten head again tomorrow... because of this... I am not going to be happy!....I've just endured 4 days now looks like I will have endure more........I was so careful but nor careful enough and fell sucker to what I believed was safe!

okay I definately now know it's soy, causing a major problem with me...

I have only just started get over mt reaction to the cake, and have been ever so carefull about what I was eating, ensuring I ate nothing different, meat, fruit and veg,,,,,

but I got hungry tonight, and opened a pack of rice crackers.....

it clearly stated all over the pack gluten free.............and I had tried another brand of this rice crackers before without any reaction, So I ate away freely.......

Then 30 minutes later, it felt like a punching match going on in my stomach..........

it's grumbling and rumbling like crazy!...........

I thought , gosh I grabbed the packet of rice crackers to see the ingredients....

and whammo................there it is..................

rice flour,seasoning (sugar, salt, soy sauce powder.....contains ,hydrolysed wheat ,flavour

I am so angry!!!!!!!!!I never thought in a million years they would put soy sauce in plain original rice crackers...

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr will I ever get use to this...............

I hope I don't awaken in the morning with gluten head....I hate that feeling!

The brand of rice crackers are "FANTASTIC" BE WARE!....they sure aren't too fantastic to me!

ahhh okay!!!.... the CSI detective in me has discovered a few things about soy, that I never knew!

I found this amazing web page.......

and now I understand why you have a reaction to guar gum....

and I am looking at the lists on this site thinking these ingredients seem to be in everything!

Open Original Shared Link

Next to look for

ROTFLMAO.....

CSI, WITHOUT THE EQUIPTMENT!.....

I couldn't have put it better... you are so right!...

the thing is different ingredients effect different people also?...

I just saw this cake mix ... and I'm wondering if the ingredients in this will effect me?...

I am still suffering badly from the basco, I wish this would wear off....

I so hate this feeling!~

anyway this is the orgran mix , this one doesn't have soy... but do I trust it?

Ingredients: raw sugar, rice flour, maize starch, potato starch, maize flour, dextrose from maize, raising agents: sodium bicarbonate, monocalcium phosphate, monoglycerides from vegetable, salt, natural vanilla flavour 0.4%, vegetable gums: carboxymethylcellulose, carrageenan, guar gum.

What is the vegetable gum? After having a very bad reaction, I went back to my cookbook to read about each ingredient in the gluten-free food I had eaten. I had quite a bit of guar gum in it which my book says has a laxative affect and should be avoided by anyone with D as a symptom. Doink!! Well I will be throwing that away!!

yikes don't think I will give this one ago... as it has guar gum, the very same ingredient that the book says is a laxative

Anthony,

I am pretty much in the same boat as you mate....

I have only been gluten-free for about 10 weeks, I have been very very diligent with reading labels,

I too feel fantastic when I am not being accidentally glutened..

What I have found, is that when I trust things that say Gluten free, and try something other than plain old meat fruit and vegetables, is when I run into trouble. I am not sure if it is some other ingredient in things that gives me the reactions. I am suspecting that some forms of soy are the thing that is giving me the gluten effect. I have found some fantastic foods that say GLUTEN FREE!.....

and you think wow!!!!! I can actually eat that!..... like Basco cake..and pancakes .. and even gluten-free bread.. But once I have eaten them I soon learn and discover that "I WILL NEVER EAT THOSE PRODUCTS AGAIN" because the reactions approx 30 minutes after ingesting them is too much to bare, then the next following days...It really scares me off trying new foods, that say gluten-free, and as GFinDC said, it seems to be the processed stuff that you buy, and packeted items that cause the reactions.

I am finding that it is safe to just stick to just some items I know won't cause reactions...

they are plain and boring, and after weeks of eating the same stuff... I am hating the thought of eating, I am sick of cooking and spending every spare second in the kitchen preparing meals I can eat . Cooking rice, etc...then all the washing up, then you sit down to eat after all that preparation, and it doesn't fill you up..you still feel hungry, and its bland and boring. And when you try to make something exciting but leave out certain ingredents, it doesn't taste as good as the real thing.

I find that eating is such a huge chore for me now, I also need to gain weight because I have lost so much, and each week I am finding I am loosing more weight, #1. because I am not eating enough of my meals , because they aren't what I want to really eat...so I will have a couple of mouth fulls...

Then when I realize I need to eat, to get nourishment, I force feed my self, and again thats not enjoyable...So that is when I decide to find substitutes of processed stuff that says gluten-free...and sure enough, I get glutened by it.

It's a merry go round............

I do love the way I feel though, when I am gluten-free.. no stress , anxiety, pain, headaches ,anger, tiredness, lethargy,nausea, gastric, stomach aches,

But hate the entire process of eating, it has become a balancing act...I have to eat or I die..but eating isn't helping me gain weight, and I am hating what I have to eat, it's not enjoyable,

Gosh yes,,,,,

last night I got glutened.... I would normaly wake up at 7-30am when gluten-free, feel bright and sparky..

This morning was a whole other story... I awoke at 11am, with a headache, didn't want to move and get up, and could have gone back to bed. But I didn't, but for the rest of the day, I was wiped out..

feeling sick , couldn't eat, and ohh so lathargic and tired, and I just got home from work and I'm ready for bed. eyes are aching, and wanting to close.

Before finding out I was celiac and gluten-free, I had the opposite effect, I couldn't sleep , I would live on three hours sleep, I'd have headaches and feel yuck...but I just figured that was due to the lack of sleep, and being over active without sleep...

But since going gluten-free... my sleep is so much deeper and enjoyable, I awaken fresh and ready to take on the world, things don't stress me out like they use too...I awaken early!...

But accidental glutening, does knock me around badly,and I need to sleep, because I walk around around like a zombie,feeling sick and tired, and just want to curl up and sleep....

I honestly nearly fainted when I saw the time I had slept too, this morning. Thank goodness I had a late shift, because there is no way I could have functioned at work, the way I was feeling. And even with having the late shift it was very difficult to make it through.

I am not sure if you have this?... in your country?

maybe you can get them there?

they have a web site

www.herron.com.au

their email is

customerserviceherron.com.au

and phone number for customer service is 1300659646

I use these when I get the dreaded gluten headhead, which I have got at the moment from some gluten free cake I had.

I find these herron tablets to be very very good..... especially for headaches and I don't get a reaction for using them...

That is the problem, I don't know what I'm illergic too?

I haven't been able to figure out... but now that you mention it, it could be the soy?

I have heard that you can eat some soys?... what ones can you eat and can't eat?

I don't think it's the corn because I have eaten other products that have corn in them without reaction...

but I think you are right about the soy (that seems to be under many headings and I'm not sure what is the safe ones).... and seems that soy is in everything?.....

I was excited yesterday about baking a cake , because I have not had a cake since going gluten free..

I had seen basco advertised here, so I thought yeah!!!!! I will give this a go...

it was so delicious... even my family got into eating it... it tasted so good... but 30 minutes later I had bad reactions... and awoke this morning with headaches and feeling blahhh ...

It seems everytime I try to introduce something new and exciting into my diet, I suffer for it!

and the most annoying thing is, I don't know why?... what ingredents are causing the reactions...

Seems all I can eat is vegetables and meat and salads...

it's so depresssing when you get all excited about eating something that is actually yummy.... and then having bad reactions, when you believed it was safe....

it does scare you off trying anything different from fruit and veg and meat....

and I want to find something that will help me gain weight!

what was the likely culprit in this?

cake mix by Basco... Gluten free,

sugar,maizeflour,vegetable oil, maize starch,glucose syrup,solids from maize, raising agents, emulsifiers, soy lecithin 471 477 natural flavour, vegetable gum, xanthan anticaking agent, antitoxidant 306 from soy.

There is no single cause of spina bifida nor any known way to prevent it entirely. However, dietary supplementation with folic acid has been shown to be helpful in preventing spina bifida

dried beans, leaf vegetables and fruits.

Certain mutations in the gene VANGL1 are implicated as a risk factor for spina bifida: these mutations have been linked with spina bifida in some families with a history of spina bifida.

Genetic counseling and further genetic testing, such as amniocentesis, may be offered during the pregnancy , if they feel that you are at risk.

Please don't panic as yet...if you have been eating lots of vegetables and fruits, then you have been doing the right thing for your body and child before falling pregnant.

chin up....be positive.

I find the lympth glands swell in my neck , just below the jaw line, and the area becomes real tender, then I end up with abcess in my back teeth, I also noticed the glands in my groin protrude, but they do go down, it normaly happens when I feel weak and worn out and stressed.

I also had four miscarriages, and had much difficulty in falling pregnant, it took 4 years of trying and heartbreak when I would loose the baby. I wasn't diagnosed with celiac then.

I lost a set of twins, at 13 weeks, and I was devestated, and ready to give up on trying ever again.

But 6 months later I did try again and did everything in my power to make that baby stick...

I wouldn't travel far in the car, I rested and wouldn't lift anything, I ensured I did nothing that would help a miscarriage along...

I made sure I didn't have sex . I was lucky that my husband wanted a child as badly as I did..

I also had blood tests every two weeks, to ensure the hormones were at the right level....

I went through such wicked morning sickness, but the doctor told me this was a good thing, this ment that the hormone levels were high.

I do remember when I fell pregnant, I was like you... I was so upset, so scared, I couldn't go through another miscarriage. I prayed and tried my very best to stay confident, and positive and was determin to do all I could. Even without knowing I had celiac , I did change my food intake, to eating lots of salads and vegetables and chicken . And iron enriched foods .I was unable to face red meat due to the morning sickness.

And after a long long 9 months, I finaly got my baby... and what a baby he was..!!!!

perfect in every way... and now he is 21 years old, and has never caused me one moments grief,

smart, inteligent, kind, witty, and person loved by all that comes into contact with him.

When going through those miscarriages, I couldn't understand why my God given right as a women was being taken from me. I saw so many people that didn't derserve children, or had no problems with popping out kids, and then they wouldn't provide for them. I had so much love to give, and it didn't seem right or fair.

I do understand what a scary prospect being pregnant is, But the best advice I was given by the doctor, when I burst into tears and told him, I can't deal with another miscarriage, please help me...

The advice he gave me, was STAY POSITIVE, the more you frett and worry the more your body will react to that...rest and enjoy. And that is what I tried my best to do...

and in the end was blessed with a true angel!

once I got my angel... I was more than overjoyed to have my own child in my arms, and never ever tried again. Because I never ever thought I would even have him! and was so thankful, I didn't ever want to temp fate again.

Wow.... that Calorie counter is so good....

At first I wasn't sure how many calories I needed to eat..... I worked out 1615 to gain weight...

and I would have been lucky to have been eating a quarter of that!

tonight I made some sang chow boy .. rice noodles, ground pork, chestnuts and that alone was 929 calories...

yet the day before I only had 146 calories when I counted that up, so this calorie counter could well be a life saver for me....now at least I am getting an idea of what I need, to survive and stop loosing weight...

I definately wasn't eating enough of the foods that would help me....

thank you so much... for this...

What would I do without this board?... everyone is so helpful and have wonderful idea's that I wouldn't have thought to do....

and so many have so much knowledge and experience...

Thank you!

I agree.... stomach pains were a definate for me also.....

that's exactly how I know I have been glutened.... that's the very first sign I get!

even before I knew I had celiac , my husband use to say to me, why are you holding your stomach all the time?...

Are you in pain?....

Then when I went gluten free..... I couldn't believe that my stomach wouldn't end up in pain each time I ate...

With my experience with Celiac disease, you will gain weight when your intestines heal. You are not absorbing the calories or nutrients in the foods until this happens. Stay gluten free 100% and you will gain weight. I want to stop gaining weight now.

Thank you everyone for the helpful information....

I know I have only been gluten-free for approx 6 weeks now, but I am still loosing major amounts of weight..

I am eating lots of banana's, avocado's and calcium filled , gluten-free deserts . I am finding I am trying to force myself to eat, when I am not even hungry.

I know that I am not eating a lot though... but due to no hunger at all, sometimes it seems like I am eating a lot. maybe two small meals a day. And then I litrally have to force that down.

I was told by the doctor not to eat dairy products.

just this week alone I have lost a further kilo and a half...

I always like the fact I was thin and looked good for my age in the past, and had anyone told me, I would get so upset about loosing weight each week, I would have laughed.

I don't seem to be having any difficulty with being gluten-free , as I do like the way I now feel inside...and no more headaches.

But the weight issue is the thing I am having a real hard time coming to terms with...

yesterday I wanted to buy a dress, and found a kids size to fit me, but when I went into the fitting room to try it on, my emotions got the better of me, and I burst into tears...

I saw how I really looked in the mirror.........

this mirror was better illuminated than mine at home... and I was totally horrified at what I saw....

I saw all my ribs through my chest , no boobs... I was a 36c , now I am completely flat chested, hip bones protruding, skin hanging loosly off my boney arms , but the fact I could see all the bones in my chest protruding was the things that broke me... I looked like a starving african refugee.

To top matters off.... someone even commented and questioned if I was a transvestite due to flat chest and the way I am now built....

you can imagine what this does to your self esteam...

My real fear though is if I continue to loose weight like this... I will end up in hospital

And maybe even die?.......

Can they fix malnutrician in hospital? and how do they do that?

I am scared

Here is something not quite the same as the clock watching, But I also have noticed a dramatic change.

Before going Gluten free, my mind was always in fog and had headaches and at times thought I was going crazy. But I was astonished that I could predict things. I did seem to have a sixth sense, very strong intuition or what ever you might want to call it?

And I would get these premonitions, normaly when my mind was blank while doing the washing up, or sitting quietly. It was like a little voice that would say...

things such as ....

Watch out , in the next couple of days you will have a flat tyre, beware...

or a certain person has died...

or a family member is quite ill, you need to call them...

Or your son will have problems with an accident with his knee..

Or you are going to win a certain competition

Or you need to act fast to defuse a problem that is about to occur,

It would amaze my son and husband and friends, at how perceptive I always was. And they all just knew that if I said something was going to happen, they really knew it would come true!...

Although it was only major things I would tell them about, because I would get rather concerned and I always knew I couldn't change the outcome by saying it out loud, and I would also frett about that!

But constantly there were lots of minor things that I never mentioned out loud, that would happen.

But since going Gluten free, I don't seem to get these messages any more?

I was so use to having them all the time, that it really did become part of my life.

But now that my mind is fresher ("fresher", thats the word I use, and my thinking is clearer, and no longer have headaches)... and I no longer have the clouded brain and heavy doom and gloom enveloping my thinking. I am not getting these premonitions any more?

Maybe the clock checking was like a premonition for you? You just got the message in your brain to look at the clock at that time each day...

maybe or maybe not the time had significance, but it was a driven premonition to look at the clock .

I now wonder if the foggy brain and other chemicals released in the body when glutened, actually made us more perceptive on a different level?

I have read that some were more creative in an art sense than they are with going gluten free.

Honestly though, I would rather have the clear brain that comes with going gluten-free , than the horrid feelings my brain would endure before going gluten-free.

But there really does seem to be a relation here, Does anyone else here relate to any of this?

hmm okay thank you for that...

I know my doctor is checking for thyroid problems with the latest blood tests he has ordered.

So I will be interested now in seeing if this is the cause of the vocal changes I had...

You know so many people get upset that they have celiac and feel cheated out of being normal,

I am finding that having celiac is the answers to so many life long problems I have had to endure.

Each and every day I discover answers as to why certain things had happened with my health.

And to now learn and discover that just by chopping out certains foods etc, I can feel like a new person is truly amazing for me.

It's wonderful to feel what being content and happy feels like...

I also do highly suspect now after reading the symptoms and problems with thyroid, that may be a strong reason for other ailments and problems I have had.

Guess I will know for sure when the blood results come back.

Does Celiac induce thyroid problems?

I was reading in another thread, unrelated to this, that someone had vocal problems

I was also struggling through near impossible physical obstacles to maintain what was left of my operatic voice as it was becoming harder by the day to find the strength to do what was necessary to overcome the physical problems that were shutting my voice down. Once I went gluten-free I found the road to vocal wellness but, I no longer have the desire to sing.

I too use to be a singer, but noticed as I grew sicker from Celiac, (I didn't know what it was celiac then)...

But noticed as I grew thinner and weaker and more stressed etc.... at the same time my vocal chords wouldn't work properly, I was unable to hold notes , my voice became deeper and uncontrolable and weaker. My singing voice was once very very strong, but unfortunately I now have lost the ability to sing.

I am wondering if others have had vocal issues due to celiac?.........I haven't read that it affects the voice anywhere... but upon reading the above statement, it got me wondering if others also noticed voice changes?
