Hey everyone, hope all is well for yall!!

Ok have been under major stress (my daugher has been running from the law. she left her 3 kids and just took off told me she was going underground and going to change her name, she is a alcoholic and in a bad way now, she text messaged me yesterday and said she got raped in a park the night before last. It is so hard to think of your own kids living like that. Yesterday, I was reading the board and someone mentioned eating Progresso clam chowder and that it was gluten free. I had some so I called the manufacture myself to make sure. Thay told me it was gluten free so I tried it.

I only have a few staples that I eat mostly all the time so I dont think it was anything else I ate..Started feeling bad pretty much as soon as I ate it. Last night I broke out with DH.Its so painful I can hardly sit. Feel to bad to do anything, so now laying on my belly :(

I get real upset at my tummy, and cant eat anything!!! Drinking as much water as I can but even that makes me feel bad.

Sorry for the post kind of confusing even for me to read but feel to bad to redo it. Does anyone have any ideas to help me. Only been gluten-free for 21/2 months so I know I still make mistakes. my mind just wont work anymore..

I'm sooo sorry you are going through all of that! Alcoholism is very hard to deal with and effects everyone around teh person with the disease. I've been there...my son's father!

Stress definetly could be amplifying your symptoms!!!! Are you sure everything else is gluten-free????

Again, I'm sorry and we are all here for you if you need to vent/talk/cry!

So sorry for your woes- that is TOO hard! The stress could do it alone and then, if you're not used to the Progresso clam chowder", you could just be reacting because it's new. I find when I'm introducing new foods after so long on a strict diet that it takes awhile for me to get used to them. Assuming you've checked cosmetics, shampoos, hand creams and all that...

Peace to you and feel better soon!

thank you so much everyone!!

i_mommy

Yes, it is so hard, she is only 25 years old. And in such a bad place. I am pretty sure that I am totally gluten-free, shampoo's , cream rinse, make up (not that i wear much) pots, pans spoons, can opener, cutting board, soaps, i just dont know what else to do. Guess it is just stress, I am not sleeping well, when she does text me its in the middle of the night, so i sleep with one ear on the phone. I am so afraid for her life. Not to mention the grandkids, they are so upset, the 6 year old boy started pooping his pants. he had not done that since 2. They live 2 hours away,its not that its that far I just feel so bad i have a hard time making it up there. :(

oceangirl

That is something I never thought of. I dont think I want to try it again. I break out with DH on my right buttock. Not something you want to live with. yes i have checked everything that I come into contact with. As far as I know of. Pretty new to this though, only 2 1/2 months.

Thanks for letting me rant!! BARB :huh:

Stress could be causing alot of problems... also are you sure shellfish is an okay thing for you to eat? Tons of people cannot do any type of shellfish...... plus creamed soups can cause reactions for some.

My brother is a recovered elky for 26 years now.... can you get her into a rehab center? even if you have to have her picked up by the police for loitering in a public place, someday she will thank you for it. Use tough love or she may ended up deceased... We did this after years of drug & booze abuse.. my mom would give him money for food cause his cabinets were bare because he used his $$$$ for booze & drugs, finally I had a police officer arrest him for some dumb little thing & committed him for three days ( law in our state) & then sent him off to rehab . He had no ins. so I went thru AA & they helped pay ...

good luck & I'll say a prayer for you..

      Hi Emily, What you described is very similar to what I experienced in coping with Celiacs. I think my first symptoms started when I was about 3 and I wasn't diagnosed until I was almost 70.

      A video with researcher William Parker about Helminthic Therapy

      Necator americanus is particularly well adapted to humans.

Sometimes the treatment doesn't help, and very occasionally side effects are intolerable. In those cases, if desired the worms can be killed off. Regular medical...

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      Before my diagnosis I would consider myself pretty much asymptomatic other than a few flare ups of what I previously thought were ibs symptoms. After having iron deficiency as well I had a positive blood test and EGD. I have now been gluten free for about a month but my symptoms have gotten worse. I now have bloating, acid reflux, and pain in the upper abdomen...

      Hi Emily, What you described is very similar to what I experienced in coping with Celiacs. I think my first symptoms started when I was about 3 and I wasn't diagnosed until I was almost 70. I got along OK util I was about 30  when I began to have more problems that the Drs thought was an autoimmune problem that they couldn't identify. Then I worked in medical labs in Bolivia for 8 months and returned to the US with more problems such as sensitivities to chemicals and increasing food intolerances. I had always had canker sores in my mouth and nose but have not had any now  since I went strictly gluten free. Before I was gluten-free I became very sensitive to hot peppers and then I could not eat anything spicy such as cinnamon, turmeric or black peppers. I have not eaten any nightshades for years. No corn or soy.  My diet now is lamb stew with rice, squash, green beans, chard, kale, collards with salt. Then eggs , chard, spinach, black beans, summer squash, asparagus, rice and salt. I eat peanuts for snacks. I have been eating nuts but may have to stop. Coconut is OK but too much sugar is not.  I am very cautious about adding back foods to my diet but hope to add back small amounts of turmeric. Take care.

I have increased my Vit. B12  can help you figure out what is happening. Just because you have gluten intolerance does not mean that your current problems are related to that. Some of the people here can give you useful advice about supplements and how much to take for improved health. I recently upped my Vit. D3 from 50 mcg to 150 mcg and now take either 500 mcg or 1000 mcg of vit. B12 sublingual daily instead of once a week.                                    Take care

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! It is possible that you are experiencing some kind of gluten withdrawal but I would thing that would have started to subside by now. There are a couple of possibilities that come to mind. One is the polysaccharide ingredients that are typically found in prepackaged "gluten-free" wheat flour facsimile foods. If you read the ingredient lists of such foods you will usually find things like guar gum and xanthan gum. Their function is to give the product a texture similar to wheat flour but they are hard to digest and give many celiacs digestive issues. I mention this not knowing if you are relying on prepackaged gluten free food items to any extent or are just choosing carefully from mainstream naturally gluten free food items. Another is that your body is just going through adjustment to a major dietary change. Wheat is a significant component to the typical western diet that supplies certain nutrients and some fiber that has now been withdrawn suddenly. Are you experiencing any constipation? Also be aware that foods made from gluten-free flour are typically devoid of nutritional value. Wheat flour is mandated by government regulations to be fortified with vitamins but gluten-free flours are not. It can be smart to compensate for this with vitamin and mineral supplements. Still another possibility is that in addition to being gluten intolerant, your also have other food intolerances. One small study found that 50% of celiacs reacted to dairy like they do gluten. That number may be on the high side in reality and more research needs to be done. However, it is true that dairy intolerance is very common in the celiac community. Another common "cross reactive" food is oats. There are certain foods whose proteins closely resemble gluten and cause the same reaction. About 10% of celiacs react to the protein "avenin" in oats like the do the protein gluten. You might try eliminating dairy and oats for a few weeks and see if your symptoms improve.

      Before my diagnosis I would consider myself pretty much asymptomatic other than a few flare ups of what I previously thought were ibs symptoms. After having iron deficiency as well I had a positive blood test and EGD. I have now been gluten free for about a month but my symptoms have gotten worse. I now have bloating, acid reflux, and pain in the upper abdomen on and off most days. I am pretty positive I am not being glutened as we overhauled our whole house to be gluten free and haven’t eaten out since the diagnosis. Has anyone else experienced a worsening of symptoms after going gluten free? Will it subside? Or is there something else I should be concerned about. Thank you!

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By RMJ · Posted

      That is strange.  Other pages talk about testing. The one thing I like about GFCO is that the handbook for their certification process is available on their website.  I may not agree with the whole process, especially the reduced testing, but at least I can see what the process is. I wish the other certifying organizations would publish their processes. GFCO 2024 manual
