I have recently found out I need to have a gluten free diet. I usually do good with eating gluten free. I ate chicken alfredo that was gluten free and got an upset stomach. Any ideas as to why?

Is it possible that you also have an issue with dairy/casein? Many people with celiac disease, including myself, have, at least temporarily, additional food intolerances after being diagnosed. This is due to a condition called "leaky gut" and once you successfully heal your gut with a gluten-free diet for several months, or even up to a year or two for some people, those secondary intolerances may go away.

whenever i am trying to figure out what the heck is making me sick, i keep a food journal.  it is extremely helpful to write down *everything* that passes your lips (even gum - gum makes me ill, no gluten, just artificial sweetener/color/etc - it took my food journal to figure that out lolz) then i use a scale of 1-7 as to how i feel following eating said foods.  then you can try to eliminate the culprit by eating foods separately and see how you feel.  lots of times i had to do this in the beginning, to see what was irritating my still healing gut.  note:  most times it was *not* gluten, just something that i had to skip for awhile until my intestines were in better shape.  i had a fructose intolerance for a very long time, but now it's gone, mostly.  i can't go crazy with histamines, either.  you'll get the hang of it!  good luck!  :)

Who made that chicken Alfredo?  Maybe it was not really gluten free or was exposed to gluten while being prepared.

I'm not sure about dairy or any of that. But I eat diary a lot and it never bugs me. I had my gallbladder removed that's what gave me the gluten intolerance.

It's by udi and I just put it right into a sauce pan.

Thank you for the idea I'll give it a try!!

The listen to the other members.  You might have an intolerance.  Udi’s is convenient but it has lots of additives found in most processed foods.  You could be reacting (not a celiac reaction) to any of those.  
 

I had a non-functioning gallbladder that became infected.  It is my theory that undiagnosed celiac disease destroyed my gallbladder.  It sounds like your problems started after surgery.

Yes they did. Maybe you're right maybe it's something else in that food. I've eaten other udi things too with no problem.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By Jenn D · Posted

      Hi. Did your ema levels ever go negative? My son is 2 years in gluten free and they are still positive.  I'm scared he has refractory celiac disease. Please if anyone has any info greatly appreciate it. His ttg is 3 which is considered normal.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      I will have that info soon but it was a laundry list of a test and 9 viles. ok so there were some days she was gluten she barely ate because of the reactions. I told her 3 weeks of atleast 10g’s a day and no gluten-free days. Thanks so much for your help! I didn’t know my suggestion for gluten-free days would have hurt her.    I will come back with the list to make sure the req was proper!!

      A "gluten challenge" of two weeks would be the bare minimum for expecting to render valid testing, and that would have been paired with eating a minimum of 10 g of gluten each day (the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread). And with the three gluten free days in the midst of that two week gluten challenge I would not have confidence in the results of the testing. Was there a blood test done for IGA deficiency? Can you post the test names that were done with the scores and with the reference ranges used by the lab? By the way, with celiac disease the issue is not being able to digest gluten. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder defined by the fact that ingestion of gluten triggers an immune system response that attacks the membrane that lines the small bowel. The immune system mistakenly identifies the protein gluten as a biologic invader.

      Hey all!! M i want to thank everyone for their suggestions and advice - I am a single mother of 4 (now 3) and was helping with my oldest leaving the nest. I have another child with medical issues and with work (it’s our end year), life has been crazy and I haven’t had the time to answer.    so we got a blood test done for my daughter that can’t digest gluten. She had been eating gluten for 2 weeks. The blood work came back normal? How is that possible. I see her with my own eyes and it’s not normal. Is that not long enough?  I am thinking about having her eat gluten another week then go to the hospital and see what they say.    She did have 3 gluten-free days in those 2 weeks but she was getting afraid to eat and I told her to may take a day off - was this a bad thing to do? Girl was having constant back pains and muscle soreness as well. Headaches/migraines…should I wait longer. I did see 4-6 weeks of Gluten consumption prior to testing… kind of at a loss now.    Thanks to everyone for whatever advice you can give.   Enjoy your Sunday 😃👋👋
