Glutened by frozen blueberries???

I have gotten to the point where I eat an extremely clean diet. Literally almost everything in my diet is pure and fresh and doesn't even come in a package. I haven't been "glutened" in a really long time.

However, I recently started a new eating protocol (medical medium 28 day cleanse). Blueberries are a big part of the diet. The fresh ones at my store were gross and old, so I bought organic frozen ones ( simple truth brand for those of you who have king soopers/Kroger).

Could I have possibly been glutened from eating these? They have no labeled additional ingredients. They do not say gluten free, and also do not say processed in a facility with gluten, or contain gluten.

My eyeballs, spine, and head hurt which is always my first sign of exposure. Any time now my belly will kick in too.

Any thoughts on this? Could I have really been glutened by frozen berries!? TIA

I can't imagine they could have gluten.  Fruit is usually all they make in a fruit processing facility (maybe a veggie)

-_- I have been glutened by strawberries, and mushrooms before, also by broccoli....as with the broccoli  I called the company and that one had come from a facility that did sauced veggies. Seemed they used the same packing machines but cleaned them between runs.

It could be the company follows similar protocols of using the same packing machines as a line that uses gluten in it. I doubt it as kareng mentions fruit should be on a fruit only plant.  Might be worth looking into. .....my thoughts and what I would do as I own a nima would be take some mash them up in s small cup and put a small sample in the testing kit and see. You can try eating them on another day if you can not test them, try them by themselves and see what happens.

are you eating them every day?  i thought i couldn't handle blueberries, but it turns out that i can eat them if i don't overdo it and if i don't eat them every day.  i have frozen berries from kroger and i eat them in my cereal every third day or so.  idk why fruit packers would have wheat.....  (but they were labeled gluten free on those little purple squares on the price thingy)

Thanks guys! Seems like frozen fruit should have been safe but who knows! I think I will go back to not buying anything in a package. So much easier ?

OH I thought of a few things, sometimes the rush of sugars can cause gastric issues, high and sudden uptakes of vitamin C can cause D and other issues, and if your not used to a high fiber diet throwing in a bunch of berries with high fiber, sugar, etc. is going to give your gut a rough ride.

Yeah I play it safe, I eat only gluten-free labled foods, and those that are not I tend to test with a Nima Sensor....thing is a life saver for these kind of cases....tends to be a bit hyper sensitive though...like detecting below 20ppm

Thanks! Fruit seems to work ok for me these days. Perhaps a sensor would be a good investment though. I’m very very sensitive. Pretty sure these berries were the culprit today. Thanks for the advice! :)

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      I went to the gastroenterologist for what I thought was IBS. They thought it sounded like celiac. I got a blood test with normal everything except a deamidated gliadine peptide iga of 688. Total iga was in normal range so not deficient.    My question is with a dgp iga like that is it pretty much only celiac at that point. I haven’t seen anything else that would cause the dgp iga to be that high. Already have the biopsy scheduled so nothing is going to change I’m just curious what else it could be and is the number high enough that I should really be preparing expecting a positive biopsy and it’s just a confirmation at this point?

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Aussie Celiac · Posted

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
