I am new to the gluten-free/cf diet. I have been following the diet very carefully and cautiously for almost a week now. I cannot return to eating gluten and dairy as it has caused many health issues for me. anyway, i made bobs red mill gluten-free whole grain bread today. Had half a slice. 10-15 minutes later, had stomach cramps and diarreah. Has anyone had a similar experience? could it have been the fiber content?

For many recently gluten free persons all grains can potentially cause problems. I would recommend that you eat pure simple, unprocessed foods until healing has taken place and reintroduce processed grains gradually. Rice is usually well tolerated by most, preferably brown for the nutrition and fiber.

I'm also just about a week and a half into gluten free and had the same reaction to a Bob's Red Mill product the other day. Also to some gluten free spaghetti. I then took out everything processed, dairy, and soy. A day or two later, it seemed I became intolerant of EVERYTHING! It didn't matter what it was. My theory is that the body has to sort of "detox" the gluten if it's sensitive to it, kind of like a poison...but that's just my theory. I'm just starting to feel a bit better! :D If it gets worse like most people say, I can't imagine how my body's going to respond after several months and then an accidental glutening! :rolleyes: Hope you feel better soon and don't keep getting worse like I did, but if so...hang in there! It WILL get better!!

Blessings!

I can eat Bob's Red Mill bread made with the mix every day with no problems. But other brands of bread, pasta, etc. just kill me. You'll probably just have to do quite a bit of experimenting to find what works for you. Unfortunately, these gluten issues affect every single one of us differently. :)

I have the same problem with BRM whole-grain mix, and I've been gluten-free for three months now. I think I'll relinquish the rest of the loaf I just made to my boyfriend, who I think secretly believes I'm holding out on him with the good bread. :) I don't have problems with Pamela's or Gluten Free Pantry mixes.

it took me six months before i could eat anything processed without being sick. 6 months! so give yourself a few more weeks of eating fruits and veggies and other whole foods and maybe your stomach and intestines can heal. i tried certified gluten free oats at 6 months and they made me sick.... at 2 and a half years i tried them again and now i can eat them with no issues. some things will not be okay until you are further into the healing process. it gets better though. i reintroduced dairy at 10 months i believe and havent had any dairy issues since then. good luck!

Are you using "post" celiac utensils as opposed to pre-celiac utensils? I threw out all my wooden spoons, pitted plastics and anything that I was afraid couldn't be scoured completely clean of gluten.

Thank you all for your replies. I did go through all the utensils-fortunately most were stainless steel. I guess I will just eventually figure out what I can and cannot tolerate. I have been gluten-free/CF since 8/5/09 and will tell you I feel really good! :)

Last I knew Bobs Red Mill processes their gluten free oats in their gluten free facility. If you are one of us celiacs who is also sensitive to oats, you may be reacting to cross contamination from oats. I avoid Bobs Red Mill products for this reason.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.

      Aah it sucks that there's no definitive way to confirm NCGS or celiac. I've found a GI clinic that is covered by my insurance and I'll contact them after the holidays to setup an appointment. I hope to get some sort of clarity with further tests.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      Thanks @knitty kitty. I didn't know about thiamine deficiency before you had mentioned it. I'm doing more research into what it is and how I can test for that deficiency. Is Vitamin B1 test the best way to find it? I saw that there is another test: Erythrocyte transketolase activity coefficient (ETKAC) assay to test for thiamine deficiency but I'm not sure how that test is done. Is that something I can take on my own or do I need GI referral. If it does turn out that I'm thiamine deficient, does that confirm that I have celiac disease or could it just mean that I have not been consuming Vitamin B1 rich food and once I address that with a supplement or food, I would no longer be thiamine deficient? Also full disclosure, I'm a vegetarian and only last year I found out that my Vitamin D level was very low. It was 3.7 ng/ml and the ideal range is >29.9 ng/ml. After a year of taking multivitamin supplement, my Vitamin D level has gone up to 27 ng/ml. Though it's better than 3.7 ng/ml, it's still below the range. I'm not sure for how long my Vitamin D level was around 3.7 ng/ml before 2023 as I didn't have my Vitamin D test taken prior to that. My doctor also wanted to check my Vitamin B12 level as I might not be getting enough of it from vegetarian sources. When I took that test last year, Vitamin B12 was 247 pg/ml and ideal range is 200-1100 pg/ml. So it's still within the range though it's on the lower end of the ideal range. I also have recently started taking vitamin b-complex tablets daily. I've never checked other Vitamin B levels including Vitamin B1. Do you know if such a very low level of Vitamin D and moderately lower level of Vitamin B12 would cause celiac disease or may contribute to some of the symptoms I've been experiencing? Regarding the DNA test to test celiac genes, are you referring to HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8 tests? As soon as I got the result where my IgG was above range, I had ordered the "HLA Typing for Celiac Disease" test in Quest Diagnostics which measures HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8. The test is 2 weeks from now and I'll post my results here once I receive them.

      Grain fed cow milk vs 100% Grass fed cow milk

      Small amounts of gliadin are detectable in some samples of human breast milk but these are at too low a level to cause symptoms. No gliadin has been detected in the beef of grain-fed cattle.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5622696/

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.
