Glutened?

Hey everyone! My names Shelby, I’m 21 and I went gluten free about 3 weeks ago. My mom has been gluten free for 8 years and now I chose to do it as well following a rash outbreak that my mom said looked like what she used to get before she chose a gluten free life. 

 

So I’ve done really well with gluten free eating and I’ve been feeling so so much better. So last night my husband and I went out for dinner at a local restaurant, and I ordered all gluten free foods and then baked beans. The baked beans were thicker and i took a big bite of them and didn’t think about whether it may or may not of had gluten until after it was consumed.. oops. Fast forward to today I felt fine up until about 5pm..  I now have a migraine, dizziness, brain fog, my joints and muscles are stiff and sore, I have not had a good bowel movement today (constipation), I’ve been very irritated all day, and tired. My stomach has ached off and on all day today but nothing crazy. I should add that since going gluten free I haven’t had a migraine or headache and my other symptoms have lessened significantly! So do you guys think these mystery baked beans had gluten in them? Or maybe I’m just catching my husbands sick germs he’s had? Thanks! 

 

Edit : All their food is made in house. These are not canned baked beans.

The beans might be a gluten source, but my sense is that it is unlikely. I have read the ingredients on many brands of canned baked beans without finding a gluten source. FWIW

The reason why I think it’s the beans is because all their food is made in house. They are not canned baked beans. They were thicker than normal baked beans from a can.

Maybe they were thickened with flour--a way to extend them at low cost. Hard to know at a restaurant, especially a local independent.  Cross contamination from other dishes prepared in the same kitchen is also a possibility.

Up til 3 months ago constipation used to be my major indicator for CC issues, a would up my dose of Natural vitality calm a bit to (Magnesium Citrate) to loosen it up a bit back then. Had to change to a glycinate recently as I now deal with D. Anyway the C in part is from magnesium difeincy is is made worse by damaged gut and glutenings.

What else did you have at that restaurant? They could have thickened the beans with flour or cooked them in the same pot they did pasta in, or used a shared ladle for serving them etc. You want to avoid eating out at non dedicated or trained restaurants for a while when going gluten free. Reactions for many become more sensitive and severe after going gluten free and starting the heal.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
