I have done pretty well on potatoes, and I had some sweet potato baby food the other night and did well. Last night I was craving meat, so I bought a small steak and a sweet potato. I have never been so sick in my life. I was up all night, and my stomach still hurts. I put a little butter on the potato and salt on the steak. (butter hasn't bothered me) Maybe I overate? At first I did okay, and then I had D. After that the cramping started. Usually the cramps last 4-6 hours. I have had it now for 10-12 hours? I know it wasn't cc. I am bloated like no ones business. Help. I don't know what happened. I have been so careful.(wait I did put a little cinnamon on the potato, but gluten was not listed on the bottle) I'm miserable.

How did you cook the steak, and was it preseasoned? I also find steak very hard to digest, my whole family does. Next time just make a turkey cutlet or something lol. Of course, i actually tested allergic to beef . . .

I have that gluten has a very large voice and once you eliminate it from your diet, you can hear some of the smaller unhappy voices.

Was the butter you used shared to spread on a piece of gluten bread? The cooking process has already been mentioned. Dairy can be hard to deal with when beginning the diet. Steak is very hard to digest. Perhaps a chicken or turkey may be easier for you. And last, but not least, all roads don't lead to gluten. Maybe it's *just* a bug you have come into contact with. Sometimes, it's just impossible to know what is making us feel bad.

A food diary can help pinpoint issues. Hope you feel better soon.

I cooked the steak on a grill (new) the butter is mine, so it hadn't touched anything. It wasn't preseasoned. I am feeling 100 times better right now. I am grateful for that. Now I can go about my day. Its 12:35pm, and I have done nothing today (or yesterday, or the day before) lol I started to keep a food diary, and I guess I will again. It may have been the beef, and not gluten. Could that be why my stomach hurt for so long? I think it was mostly gas, and not cramping. Thank you all for the help. I will stick with the chicken. :)

Was it a charcoal grill? Some charcola contains gluten.

Hi,

I stopped beef and other meats and poultry a year ago because I would wheeze after eating them (whenever I am glutened I have asthma). I concluded that maybe these animal products are "grain-fed" since I have heard that term "grain-fed beef" before in advertisements. Because I am intolerant of all grains, all milk & dairy, egg whites and yeast, I eat vegan, which is fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds (including soy, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.). I never eat fruits with vegetables, beans, soy, corn or potatoes, because it takes different enzymes to digest fruits than it does vegetables. Please email me at welda@att.net if you'd like. I've had Celiac symptoms since age 8 and am now 63. Welda

What brand of spice was this? McCormack spices are a brand that you can trust. In their spices that are single ingredient there is no gluten risk. Not all spice brands are safe.

Beef can be really hard to digest as many have mentioned. You also may not be doing well with dairy right now, many of us react to it until healed.

If you can find it locally buckwheat cereal, (just like cream of wheat but no gluten), is easy to digest and a good source of nonmeat protein. I find it really soothing after a glutening especially with a good dose of gluten-free cinnamon and a bit of raw organic sugar or honey.

Getting violently sick from eating steak was one of the major reasons i ever had a colonoscopy done and would have never found the celiac without it. I haven't been gluten free for long but I'm curious to see if my steak issues go away after my new diet changes. I'm thinking steak is hard to digest and maybe it just irritates an already irritated colon?

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Are there any things that you enjoy eating that you can have gluten-free versions of? For example, pizza, mac & cheese, pasta, etc? If so, perhaps try to include those in your diet more until your appetite recovers. Of course cannabis is famous for improving appetites, but I would only go that direction if you have serious weight + appetite issues that you can't solve via other methods.

      Thanks for the follow up, and at least you know the cause of your health issues and can now start working towards better health! This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Oh, yes. When you reply with the reference ranges, please also add the units used such as mg/L or whatever. Different labs will used different units of measure just as they will deploy different reference ranges.

      Welcome to the forum, @breadbreadbaby! We cannot comment on your test numbers until you also provide the reference ranges used by the lab doing the analysis. Different labs construct the test analysis differently and used different reference ranges, Hence, there are no industry standards. You will likely have to repost the existing information in a new post as I don't think you will be able to edit your original. These two tests are the only ones that are celiac specific for which we need the reference ranges:  IgA - .98 Tissue transglutaminase IgA Ab 45.4  Urate and ferritin are not specific tests for celiac disease. Urate is a test for uric acid levels and would be something run when gout is suspected. Ferritin is an iron storage protein. Though not a celiac specific test, iron stores are often depleted in those with long term celiac disease because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel by celiac disease. The small bowel is the portion of the intestinal track where all of the nutrition from what we eat is absorbed, including minerals like iron and the vitamins necessary to assimilate iron like B12. Many celiacs have few if any GI symptoms. This is common. We call them "silent celiacs". I was one of them. Silent celiacs are usually discovered indirectly because they develop health issues or irregular lab values indicative of vitamin and mineral malabsorption. In my case, it was elevated liver enzymes which had no other explanation. It took 13 years for me to get that figured out after the first appearance of elevated liver enzymes. By that time, I had experience significant bone demineralization.

      Just as a follow-up — I guess I’m wondering if I could have a false positive, despite how elevated it seems to be? My doctor said a biopsy doesn’t make sense considering the high result and the lack of GI symptoms but still unsure what I’ll do.
