I've been on the gluten free diet for a few weeks now.. and today my mom made banana bread with kinnikinnick mix instead of flour. I was so excited to be able to eat bread.. but now my stomach hurts like it used to.. I thought I could eat things made with the mix instead of flour.. we used all the other ingredients in the normal recipe.. margarine, sugar, eggs, banana, frozen fruit, baking soda, baking powder and salt..

Couple of things are coming to mind. You may have an intolerance or allegric reaction to something in the mix. I'm not familiar with it. Look at the ingredients to see if you can isolate the problem. Or there may be a cross contamination issue. Is your household completely gluten-free? Could there been an accidental dose of gluten?

My first guess is also cc. I worried about baking with my old baking soda, sugar, etc. I remember when I would have a recipe that would use a teaspoon I would put the teaspoon into the baking soda and maybe rinse it, maybe not, and then put it into the sugar or whatever else used that same measurement. I would also have the flour out which would get all over the counters and some could have landed on any of the other baking suppies. I got all new baking supplies and labeled them gluten-free so I knew they wasn't any flour crumbs in them.

Also, the pan you baked it in. If it has an tough corners or scratches there may be some gluten that wasn't washed out. I use separate pots and pans and baking pans so that I don't have to worry about that.

Lastly, in the beginning your system is healing. It is much easier to eat basic foods like meats, veggies, fruits and rice. You may find there are other things that you can no longer eat - many of us have long lists now. If you keep eating processed foods it may take longer to feel better because you may not be tolerating some of the chemicals well. I realize this bread was homemade, but I would stick to basic foods until you really have the diet under control and you are feeling much better.

Also, some margarines have unspecified food starch. Found that out the hard way....

Kinnikinnik breads make my stomach hurt sometimes. I don't have a clue why. I have been avoiding all processed foods that don't agree with me, even if they are gluten free.

Sorry you are miserable.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By Baz · Posted

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
