School Me: Being Glutened

I am so new to all this and I am wondering whether I got accidentally glutened this week.

I was 100% fine, until I ate a small amount of beef jerky that had MSG in it.

This morning I had a minor amount of gas, and what I can only describe as....leakage. EWWW!

Anyway, is this a symptom of being 'glutened'? What other symptoms should I look for in the future to help track my progress with the gluten-free diet?

thank you

-jen

Hey Jen,

MSG may not be too good for you, but it's not gluten related.

I took me several months of healing before I could tell that I had been glutened. In the beginning everything that I ate effected me due to the fact that I was not healed.

Give it some time, be careful about what you eat and read, read, read from this site. ;)

ugh...I've been feeling a little sick all day. NOTHING NEAR like before, but disappointing.

So are ups and downs (digestively speaking) a normal part of the first few weeks/months? I just don't know if I am being anal enough (HA!) about separating cookware, etc (I'm not) or whether some residual illness is happening on it's own without gluten CC.

Check, check and triple check the ingredients of the beef jerky. I picked some up at the store and started reading the ingredients, thinking "surely I can have this.........." The jerky I was looking at was seasoned with teriyaki, and sure enough, contained gluten.

I checked Jack Link's, as well as a couple others (don't remember the other brands, sorry!).......so just be sure you're looking for all forms of possible wheat/gluten ingredients.

almost all jerky you dont get at a health store is going to have some nasty ingredients. every jerky brand at every grocery store i have been to in the past 6 months has that garbage in it - i had to get organic jerky, but man is it ever good!

also, you can make your own jerky, And msg is not always unrelated to celiac reaction.

ive read all over the place, most celiacs have a pretty noticeable reaction to MSG (including myself) - probably because its a blatantly bad food, and we have sensitive systems already, but maybe its just that most MSG-containing foods also have gluten or are processed on equipment that handles gluten (like progresso or lays). the only msg-containing-food i can handle is tomatoes or v8 juice.

in short: from MSG i get a reaction similar to gluten.

Are you sure there is no soy sauce in there? Most jerky has it. I have found a few brands that don't though.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Celiacsugh · Posted

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.

      Intolerance to certified gluten-free pasta may be due to additives or stabilizers included in the pasta's ingredients, even among the top brands. It's important to check thoroughly before purchasing and consuming; you can find the actual ingredients listed in the detailed component descriptions on Amazon.

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just so you know. I have a feeling that every time I break out on probiotics it's due to some kind of war with my gut biome. I definitely need to find a system of flushing out my gut so that the probiotics don't have to fight as hard to populate.
