Motivate me for tomorrow guys :((())

 

If it was wheat starch it would have to be listed on the ingredient list.  Chances are you will be okay. What brand was it?

Most starch is corn or potato,, If it is wheat starch it will be labelled to state "wheat" somewhere in the ngredients.

Well if you want to play it safe, Spicely Organic has gluten free spices, Big Axe Spice has some nice "everything" blends. I have tried two others that are supposed to be safe but found everything they made so salty I could not eat it.

I have problems with corn so I have to be aware of that when shopping for spices and gluten-free baking products as Raven pointed out.

I use Badia which states certified gluten-free

As for encouragement drink lots of water and rest. A nice soak in tub sometimes is soothing. I hope it passes soon. If you find out it is gluten-free after all ask about corn in product, on the line, or facility .

May your symptoms be minimal and pass fast 

best wishes

edit: it was Karen not Raven who mentioned corn  starch

my bad entirely

I asked for their two products yesterday,onion and garlic.Onion powder's package doesnt have starch or wheat on ingredient list but garlic powder has corn starch . I dont have any intolerance to corn by the way.

They told me they add starch to two of their products so they are not gluten free. I dont understand why they would put on corn starch on list if it contains wheat starch.I sent another mail to them.

 I had nausea last night and this morning but im not sure if it is because of powder or something else.

Either the person answering the phone or email is an  idiot or the company is failing to follow even the basic labeling laws.  Even without the Gluten labeling laws in the US, Canada, etc- there are laws that they can't label something as x but use y instead.  

 

I am betting

They answered today, they told me that it had cornstarch . I guess its a cross contamination issue ? Or the starch is labeled as corn gluten (which is not the same thing )

Where are you buying this product?  Your previous posting indicated that you are not in the USA.  Labeling laws can be different depending on where you live.  

In any case, as a newly diagnosed celiac or NCGI, you should avoid foods processed foods until you feel better.  Use fresh onions for now.  

Recovery from celiac disease takes time.  You can have good days and bad days.  I hope that your good days soon outpace the bad!

Could possibly be a cross-reaction to the corn starch, but if you're not sensitive to corn it shouldn't be an issue.  Your nausea may be from something else entirely, and it could be somatic...you're expecting a reaction and your body is kindly obliging.  We tend to blame every little blip on celiac, which is natural, until we learn over time what is and isn't a gluten reaction.

In the meantime, drink plenty of water and get some rest.  If you experience brain fog like I do, try a little extra vitamin B-12.

No luckily i didn't :) I had nausea probably caused by eating more than I used to eat the day before. And the company sent me another email saying that it contains CORN GLUTEN ,not wheat gluten.

      Worsening oral health with celiac

      By trents · Posted

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that. Also, good bone and dental health involves vitamin D. Are you taking a dedicated D3 supplement? Have you had your D levels checked? In many ways, vitamin D is turning out to be a master vitamin of human metabolism and celiacs are often low on this one. What was the numerical score on your IGA along with the reference range? I can probably tell you whether it was TTG-IGA by the magnitude of the score. The only other likely option besides TTG-IGA would be Total IGA which usually has scores that range in the hundreds.  I do think it important for you to get a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy to check for healing of the villi. If that isn't happening like it should, you still are not absorbing nutrients well and that could easily explain your dental issues.

      It doesn’t specify if it’s TTG I’m not sure how to tell for that. That would be so sad. We never eat out I try to be so strict. Yes many dental products have gluten! I only use ones that don’t on myself.    No follow up procedure has been done for healing. That is something I will ask about. Thank you for the suggestion.    I don’t take any Magnesium. What would be a good supplement?

      Is that TTG-IGA that is slightly elevated? That could indicate you are still getting some gluten in your diet. That should be within normal range I would think if you were truly gluten free. As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think dealing with that issue. Have you had a follow-up endoscopy to check for healing of the small bowel villi? Also, are you taking any magnesium supplements for bone and dental health? Very important. It works together with calcium.

      I’ve had GI issues since I was a baby! They never did any testing and always said diet issues and constipation. Things got a lot worse when I hit 25, eventually got a diagnosis and I am currently 29. Yes, just recently saw my GI doctor in January and things looked pretty good. Very slightly elevated IgA but IgG was good. My ionized calcium is elevated too. I also have hashimotos but my TSH was good.

      Do you have any sense of how long before your diagnosis the onset of your celiac disease may have been? For most of us, there are years that pass between the onset and finally getting a diagnosis and by that time damage has already been done to body systems. May we ask your age? Also, have you had any follow-up testing since diagnosis to check for celiac antibody levels or healing of the villi?
