Have I Been Glutened?

I had my evening meal about an hour ago and within a short space of time (about 20 mins) felt so exhausted that I felt drugged and I also got palppitations. Starting to feel a bit more alive now. I've not had any GI reactions (yet). Everything I ate I've had before. I'm wondering whether it's a cc issue or casein maybe (although I'm pretty sure I've not reacted like that to casein previously). The reason I think it might be gluten, despite me being 100% careful making my meal, is that I used to get palpitations all the time in the last few months before going gluten-free.

Any thoughts?

What did you have for dinner? I often feel dazed and drugged after being glutened....I would think that it may be the culprit, but it's hard to say without knowing what may have caused it...

I had gluten-free toast, ham (GFDF) & strawberries. I'm suspecting the ham as being cc given that it was processed.

Out of all of that I would suspect the ham first too.....is there any chance you could have an allergy to the strawberries?

I heard a show on tv stating that strawberries are in the top 10 of allergens people can have! I had no idea that they were like that. So maybe it was the berries.

I have heard that too! I haven't heard it about strawberries in particular, but that a lot of people have an allergy to berries in general!

I don't know if I'm technicaly allergic to strawberries, but I avoid them because they cause GI as well as skin symptoms for me. Nothing major, but I don't eat them thinking if I do, it will get worse.

Interesting. I've never reacted to strawberries before, as far as I can recall. Both my sister in law and my brother in law are allergic to them, so it doesn't surprise me to hear that they are in the top 10 allergens.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      Correction: My previous post refers to hickory products when I actually meant bakery products.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By Steve-n-Portland · Posted

      Trader Joe's "gluten-free" hickory products are definitely not celiac safe. Their own website used to have a sidebar acknowledging this. Trader Joe's contracts out for their products, or obtains products elsewhere and puts their brand on it. Is Trader Joe's acknowledges, the facilities in which their products are made may change without notice, and ingredients or sources for ingredients may change without notice. Every time I tried Trader Joe's "gluten-free" muffins, breads, tortillas, etc, I had a reaction. The worst reactions were from the muffins (which are about 440 cals apiece, btw).

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      It was gradual, just not being able to catch my breathe like I always had to take a deep breathe even taking a few steps I would be winded.

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana
