Have I Been Glutened?

I think I've been accidentally glutened. I've been really sick today - sick like I used to get sick. Actually I had a horrible headache last night, like debilitating (i had to lay down in the dark and my TMJ has been really bad as well.) Today I've been in the bathroom several times, and having a lot of stomach pain. I have a bit of a headache but not like last night.

I am a newly diagnosed Celiac, and I have been really careful (or so I thought) at being gluten free, but I think I've been glutened. How do you trace it back?

Yesterday I had -

* Gluten free cereal

* 2% milk

* Popcorn

* Ground Turkey Soft Tacos (corn tortillas)

--->Toppings: bell/yellow/red pepper, cheese, salsa, dab of Rotel, Sour Cream

--->Seasonings: dash - ground cumin, minced garlic, ground chili pepper

* 1 Kinnikinick Chocolate Chip Muffin

* Vanilla Carnation Instant Breakfast

* 1 Redbridge Beer

* Diet Rootbeer, Diet Arizona Iced Tea, Water, Coke Zero

Anyone see anything that could be the culprit?

Jessica--I see something suspect--in your signature/statement, you say you are allergic to "whole" milk. Cow's milk is cow's milk--it doesn't matter if it is whole milk or 2% milk, nonfat milk, etc. It is the protein in cow's milk that is the allergen, not the fat content, so if you are allergic to cow's milk it will make you sick. So both the 2% milk and the breakfast drink you drank are most likely the reason why you feel ill. Don't be confused by the word "whole" infront of the word milk from your allergy test results. You may want to try some of the other non-cow's milk "milks" for awhile. In addition to this, if you are newly diagnosed for celiac/gluten intolerance your intestines would mostly likely need time to heal before being able to digest the lactose in milk.

Sour cream can contain gluten. And if you are allergic to milk...then why are you having milk and sour cream? You need to avoid ALL dairy.

      It's also a symptom of EPI.

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Proportionately a small piece to a toddler is like a whole slice to an adult.  This is an important clue.  She was doing well, accidentally ate gluten and later the old behavior returned. I remember reading posts here of people reacting to a kiss from someone who had just eaten gluten. Recent research indicates that 40% of first degree relatives of someone with Celiac have undiagnosed Celiac Disease.  Father, mother, siblings.  There is a whole list of symtoms of "silent celiac".  Here is an article of symptoms possibly mistaken for other causes than Celiac Disease.  When I finally stopped gluten at 63 years old, I counted 19 things that improved, including lifelong mouthbreathing.  I never smelled bad things, so I as a kid, I learned to respond to the other kid's response in order to not seem weird. I really recommend you pursue testing for all the family if you can, and the whole family following GFD.  It is difficult at first, but the benefits will be worth it.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By Visionaerie · Posted

      I get these but where we are, they are called chicken potstickers. I would obviously suggest that it is the ginger in the product that is causing a stimulative digestive effect! So you might want to do what I do, just cook one of them with the rest of your meal so you don't have the same effect. I love the Feel Good products but they are on the expensive side. (I also drink Reed's ginger brew so in general, ginger is a friend of mine..when delivered at the right dose). Hope this helps and have a warm healthy week!

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.
