What Do You Think Caused It?

This past week I have eated some Fritos, some of Pamela's gluten free cookies, and I started taking Centrum vitamins. And of course I do this all on the same day and I get sharp pain through my abdomen. Like one person described it, "it's like pieces of glass going through my system." I also have lower flank pain, I was tested for UTI but was clean.

I had an acquitence with celiac disease that said she had gotten sick from Fritos (I can't stand the taste, so haven't eaten them since being dx'd). You may want to call them and double check their contamination policy and compare that to your comfort level.

If my memory serves me right, I believe that Fritos are one of the things that is made on a dedicated gluten free line.

Could it be something besides gluten? Like another food or additive you are having a problem with?

I know alot of the Centrum Vitamins are gluten free but did you check on them to make sure?

That type of pain almost sounds like severe gas to me--when it is traveling through your intestines. Could it just be a combination of food you've eaten or something you had to drink?

Thanks for your response. I believe the Centrum vitamins are okay. I've stopped eating/digesting all three items. I will try each one separately and see what happens. I've eaten the fritos but sometimes I think corn is the problem. Anyway, I think it may be the cookies. I have them in a drawer at my other job and I ate one Tuesday evening and one Thursday evening and I got the sharp glass like abdominal pains. I read on a couple of her boxes of cookies yesterday when I was at the health food store "may cause stomach discomfort." ?? I wonder what that's all about? :(

some of Pamela's gluten free cookies,

Pamela's uses something that I'm allergic to. I think it's the xanthan gum. Darn, because they are tasty, but after one cookie my mouth and lips are all itchy.

      Enegy level extremely low

      Hello Scott, I did lose weight at the beginning of diagnosis and I know that it will take time to put on the weight I did lose. I think I have no appetite because this has been a roller coaster of emotions and a Big change on my body and its out of whack mentally and pysically. I think I am just depressed to be honest.

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      It's easy to forget that it's not only the concentration of gluten in a given food item that's significant but also the total amount of gluten we consume over a period of time. This thing and that thing may meet the gluten-free requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm but if we eat enough of those things in a reasonably short amount of time it can have a cumulative...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Hi! I try to steer clear of dairy and I cut out oats at the same time I did gluten products. It may be that something I had recently that was labeled as gluten-free contained oats. I am just so confused as to why I didn’t react when I know I ate wheat flour (breaded fries) but then reacted to something else 9 days later. Maybe you’re right and that it was...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Welcome to the forum, @SamClaire! I am reasonably sure that after 9 days any danger of a single gluten exposure reaction would have been long gone. If in fact the reaction you are speaking of is due to gluten, it is more likely a cumulative effect of small amounts of gluten having crept into your diet over time. Perhaps some food product you have been...

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      Hi, I’m brand new to this website but I was diagnosed 14 years ago. I am just now getting over a particularly bad flare up that lasted a full 7 days. I’ve been trying to figure out what caused it and all I can think of is I know I accidentally ate gluten (specifically wheat flour) 9 days before my symptoms started. Could it have taken 9 days for my ...

This thing and that thing may meet the gluten-free requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm but if we eat enough of those things in a reasonably short amount of time it can have a cumulative effect because our bodies aren't given enough time to clear the gluten we have already consumed. Just curious. Did you know the fries were wheat breaded when you ate them?

      Welcome to the forum, @SamClaire! I am reasonably sure that after 9 days any danger of a single gluten exposure reaction would have been long gone. If in fact the reaction you are speaking of is due to gluten, it is more likely a cumulative effect of small amounts of gluten having crept into your diet over time. Perhaps some food product you have been using that was once gluten free is no more. Companies can and do change their formulations over time so it may be wise to take inventory of what is in your cupboard and what your are purchasing and check closely the ingredient labels and the allergen statements. It is also possible that the reaction you mention is caused by something else that resembles a gluten reaction. Are you still consuming oats and dairy?

I’ve been trying to figure out what caused it and all I can think of is I know I accidentally ate gluten (specifically wheat flour) 9 days before my symptoms started. Could it have taken 9 days for my symptoms to start? I can’t think of any other culprit it could’ve been. Thank you!
