I was diagnosed celiac in April this year after an Colonoscopy and Endoscopy and so far I have stuck to gluten-free foods and felt the best I have done for a few years. On Sunday I decided I would like some red grapes......bad move! I have been ill for the past two days and never want to see another red grape in my life! Has anyone else got problems eating red grapes?

I think a bunch of us commented on your other post about this.

i have no problems with red or purple grapes.  Grapes are gluten-free.

I think this might be a tannin issues or a fructose issue. Of course it could just be a food intolerance or sensitivity.
If tannins, do you feel ill with black teas or red wines? I  have heard of tannins causing various issues from straight vomiting, gastroparaisis, and odd things like headaches.
Fructose intolerance issues or related to SIBO Candida can cause bloating, gas, distention and extreme pain. In the case of a intolerance related to the inability to break down fructose due ot enzyme issues you can also get vomiting or diarrhea. Of course a really bad issues of the other two can cause the same thing.

Food sensitivities can be a issue of you body just not liking certain foods. I used to have this issues olives, sesame, pea protein and even iceberg lettuce. All of which have gone away over the years. I have gotten new ones that just roll in out of no where for no reasons like my recent issues with spinach just making me vomit for no reason...it will probably go away in 6 months to a year.
I have others I have had for much longer, like peanuts, soy protein, pickles, etc. that just leave me sick sometimes with vomiting for hours.

If it’s lasted for 2 days, maybe it’s not the grapes?  Maybe they were just the last thing you ate before you got sick with a stomach bug or something?

I guess we are trying to say that fresh grapes when properly cleaned, are SAFE as is any other fruit or vegetable for someone who has celiac disease or NCGS.  The odds that your grapes had been dusted with gluten crumbs during harvest and at the store are slim to none.  Now, did anyone else in your house handle the grapes?  Do you allow gluten into the house or do you have safe practices in place to avoid cross contamination?  

I have celiac disease.  I know that a gluten exposure does not really ramp up for me for at least a day.  I might have tiny symptoms of being “off”.  Then my symptoms really get worse.  And they last for well over a month.  I have gone in twice to my GI to run lab tests just to confirm a gluten exposure because my symptoms are not always consistent or the length of time it takes for me to heal.  

My hubby had been gluten free 12 years before me.  So, I knew the gluten-free diet well.  But during my first year, I was having symptoms.  No gluten in my house.  Rarely ate out.  What was it?  I kept a food diary.  Learned that Xanthan Gum made me sick.  I also learned that I can not eat out unless the restaurant  is dedicated gluten-free, I personally talk to the chef, or the place has great online reviews written by celiacs.  

You are pretty new to the diet and are still in the healing process (usually takes a year or so).   Try to figure out exactly what you consumed the days before you got sick.  Like Karen said, it just might be a virus or even food poisoning.  It could be food intolerances like Ennis stated.  

Lots of possibilities for your reaction.  I know it is frustrating trying to figure out what made you sick and sometimes you just can not pinpoint the culprit.  Instead, consider just moving on and focus spin healing and staying safe.  We have all been there!

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Rice, corn, and other gluten-free grains.

      By RDLiberty · Posted

      So, it's been a while since I posted here and I've been doing fine with my diet. Haven't cheated, have gotten used to being gluten-free, and have even created a series of microwaveable, healthy, low cal dishes that take minutes to make because I don't cook and won't be starting to, ever. That said, many of those dishes incorporate rice and corn, not to mention many of the gluten-free products I eat such as Schar brand and other certified gluten-free breads, etc, contain rice and corn. I don't seem to have any issues with the two grains, though I have asymptomatic celiac, but I keep hearing these off the wall sources (opinion pieces by people who claim to be doctors, etc), saying that rice and corn contain a form of gluten, it's just different from wheat/barley/rye gluten but it still causes issues for celiacs. This is hearsay, right? I mean, I know some people who are ultra sensitive have issues or even people with other conditions that can cause reactions to rice and corn, but to claim it causes the same issues as wheat just strikes me as... nonsense? I can't find a single, true scientific study that says celiacs can't eat corn or rice, so long as it's not contaminated and they don't have other sensitivities to it. It causes me pause when I see this stuff, but every time I do a deep dive into medical research by reliable sources like the Mayo clinic, etc, they list non-contaminated corn and rice as safe ingredients for celiac diets. Has anyone else heard anything truly scientific about rice/corn in gluten-free diets, or is it simply misconception like so much of the 'medical' advice found dancing across the world wide web? I enjoy eating my prepared, certified gluten-free food and I'm not looking to become a betty crocker who makes everything from scratch, nor do I plan to go on an even more restrictive diet than I already have. Just curious what everyone else's take is. I know some people don't eat processed food, which is fine for them, but that's not me. lol Thanks everyone. Happy New Year.

      Ka'Chava - Gluten Free

      I emailed them about this and this was their reply: I've been eating this every day for breakfast for years and have never had an issue. Jenny

      Ka'Chava - Gluten Free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For clarification, a product can contain wheat and be gluten-free, as many products in Europe use Codex wheat starch with the gluten removed. In this case Ka’chava contain barley grass, which is gluten-free. Again, Celiac.com does not make any claims about this product, only the company can do that, which they have done repeatedly, as you can see on their site: https://www.kachava.com/
