Problems with red grapes

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!

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
