Last night i made some salmon and woke up with some nasty D this morning. Could this mean i could be intolerant to salmon, or could i have gotten glutened by something else.

It could also mean that the salmon may not have been fresh.

I just put lemon and my casein and gluten free butter on it, with an baked potato. I drank water and an cranberry juice and malibu drink lol, but i drink those about every other day. And i just wrapped the salmon in foil and put on the grill.

paula

no one else ate the salmon so i dont know if it was just bad fish or not. My hubby did take an bite before he gagged on it lol i know tmi, but he dont like fish.

You need to look at a broader picture. You didn't just have salmon, how was it prepared?

  • Use a spice mix or sauce on it?
  • What pan did you prepare the salmon in (some have continuing reactions to non-stick or cast iron pans that were previously used to prepare gluten)
  • What did you serve with it?
  • Did you prepare the salmon on a wooden cutting board that may have been a sandwich board before Celiac diagnosis?
  • It could be a problem with the fish itself, the freshness of the fish or was the fish artificially colored to the attractive pink color we expect salmon to be? (what was in the artificial color)

And yes, you could have been glutened by something else you ate earlier or it may not be a gluten problem at all. Celiac makes sleuths of us all. Pinning down the problem can be a real challenge.

Ever since catching the flu a few years ago, my ability to taste sour milk has been iffy so my hubby does taste testing for me. Nice hubbys! :-)

I've been eating very few foods for over 2 yrs - gluten-free began over 3.5yrs ago.

I've always been fine w/ salmon & eat it very regularly. But . . .. I DO only eat Wild Alaskan.

I have no idea what's in the colorings for farmed salmon.

I've become familiar w/ the intolerances of a good many ppl on this forum and elsewhere and I can't think of one who's intolerant to salmon.

Ppl have shellfish issues.

Others don't eat any fish because of existing mercury issues.

No salmon issues.

Not that YOU don't, but I mean to illustrate that I believe it's rare.

I don't know what else it could be in that meal if u also have potato regularly.

Wondering whether the Gluten-free Casein-free 'butter' is usually heated that much. Maybe it's related to that.

I can have exVrgn oilive oil, but not if it's heated to a cooking temp.

Another possibility is that the offending food wasn't even consumed that day! I've run into many here who have up to a 3day delay to a glutening.

Do u keep a food diary? It can help tremendously to nail down these tricky situations.

Good Luck!

Well I am still sick, so im sure its not the salmon lol. I was in bed last night at 7 with the heating pad and up at 4 am in pain, so im pretty sure i was glutened somewhere. Im thinking from the pop tarts the kids have been eating all over the house, or maybe one kissed me with crumbs. Or maybe just plain stress from waiting on my moms test yesterday.

I am going to try salmon again next week and see how i react just to ease my mind that it wasnt the salmon. I know the salmon could not get cc'd since it went straight into the foil, and i cut it on the foil and put it on a clean plate. And i did all the touching with clean hands lol

      Rice, corn, and other gluten-free grains.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your approach is spot-on—trusting reliable sources like Mayo Clinic and sticking to a gluten-free diet that works for you is the best way to navigate all the noise out there. The claim that rice and corn contain forms of gluten harmful to celiacs is indeed a misconception. While these grains do contain proteins that may technically be referred to as "glutens" in a broader scientific sense, they are structurally and functionally different from the gliadin found in wheat, which is the specific protein harmful to those with celiac disease. Scientific research overwhelmingly supports the safety of non-contaminated rice and corn for celiacs unless there’s a separate sensitivity or allergy involved. Some opinion pieces or alternative health sources may blur the lines by conflating these proteins, which can cause unnecessary worry. You're absolutely correct to focus on the distinction between scientifically validated information and anecdotal claims. It's also important to note that some people with celiac disease may develop sensitivities to other grains over time, but this is individual and not a universal rule. If you’re asymptomatic and thriving on a diet that includes certified gluten-free products with rice and corn, there’s no reason to change what’s clearly working for you. The internet is a breeding ground for well-meaning but misguided advice, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Your instinct to validate claims through reliable research is exactly the right way to go. Keep enjoying your gluten-free meals, stick with trusted certifications, and don’t feel pressured to adopt restrictive diets that aren’t backed by science or tailored to your specific needs. Happy New Year to you too!

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Healing and regaining energy after a celiac diagnosis can be a frustratingly slow process, but you're not alone in feeling this way! Everyone's healing journey is different, and factors like age, how long celiac was undiagnosed, and the extent of intestinal damage can all play a role. In general, villi can begin to heal within a few weeks to months after starting a strict gluten-free diet, but for some adults—especially those diagnosed later in life—it can take a year or more to see significant improvement. Studies suggest that older adults may heal more slowly, but it does happen with consistent gluten avoidance. Since you're already taking iron, vitamin D3, and a multivitamin, you're on the right track. Here are a few additional tips that might help: Be Patient with Your Body: It’s hard to wait, but healing takes time. Track your progress in small ways—maybe energy levels on a scale of 1-10 each week—to notice gradual improvements. Check for Other Deficiencies: Sometimes celiacs have trouble absorbing other nutrients, like B12, magnesium, or zinc, which can also affect energy levels. Your doctor may want to test for these. Consider Other Conditions: Fatigue can be linked to other issues like thyroid problems, adrenal fatigue, or even sleep disturbances, which can sometimes occur alongside celiac disease. It might be worth discussing this with your healthcare provider. Stay Active, but Pace Yourself: Gentle exercise, like walking or yoga, can help improve energy levels, but don’t push yourself too hard—listen to your body. Hydration and Balanced Meals: Make sure you're drinking enough water and eating a balanced gluten-free diet with plenty of whole foods. Sometimes highly processed gluten-free products can leave you feeling sluggish. Remember, healing isn’t just physical—it’s also mental. You’ve made a huge, positive change by going gluten-free, and your body is working hard to repair itself. It’s okay to feel impatient, but know that you're moving in the right direction. Hang in there—you’ll get there!

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Lotte18 · Posted

      Hi Scott, I thought I'd be like "most people" and could go back to having dairy once my villi had healed.  But after dealing with neurological problems that cropped up long after my gut had healed it turned out that this just wasn't true.  I have no idea if celiac influences pancreatic enzyme production or if it's the other way around--for some of us-- but there is a very real relationship that isn't being discussed with patients.  The article just reiterates information that can mislead you if your real problem is pancreatic not villi related.

      Welcome to the forum, @Amyinwyoming! Answers to your question that you might receive may not be helpful to you as an individual since sensitivity levels vary significantly within the gluten sensitive/gluten intolerant/celiac community. The other complicating factor is that low levels of gluten in a product may not cause obvious symptoms but may still generate low level inflammation in the small bowel. When in doubt, it is best to pass on the product. I'm not a particularly sensitive celiac so I might allow myself to eat something at a guest's house that was made from a food product with the kind of disclaimer label you describe but I typically shy away from buying them or consuming them when I have a choice.
