gluten-free For 2 Years And Sick Again

I've been gluten-free for 2 years and was doing very good. My only flare up was when we evacuated for Katrina in Aug. That was understandable. But now I have been sick for 3 days and I don't know what's caused it. So far no diarrehea, but bloating big time and chills (no fever). I have developed a nasty NON itchy rash on my legs. that my Dr. just looked at and said dry skin! I have had numbness and tingling in my legs and arms for 2 years (diagnosed as nerve damage from celiac disease). I'm afraid these may be signs of diabetes. I've lost a lot of faith in doctors. Has anyone gone through something similar?

I have racked my brain. The only thing new is cottage cheese, which I was assured gluten-free. I stopped eating it 2 days ago. just in case. I was wondering (sounds crazy) if certain pollen could carry gluten. We are having a lot of willow seeds and stuff floating around. Thanks Carrie for responding

keep in mind that products that you've always used and know to be safe MAY all of a sudden change their ingredients and now contain gluten. So, I try to make it a habit to always read labels every single time, even if I've used the product a hundred times already. Just recently it was a brand of taquitos that I've eaten with no problems in the past, and was just getting ready to say "ok" when I remembere to read the label, sure enough, wheat was one of the ingredients... and it said "contains wheat ingredients" on the bottom... I can't remember what brand, but I've had them before with no probs at all after finding them on a gluten-free list somewhere.

Thanks Nini,

You are probably right. I try to keep up on the labels but sometimes you have to be a chemist to read them.

      By Sergiu2020 · Posted

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      By Peggy M · Posted

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
