Being Very Careful, But Still Feel Like I Got Glutened!

Hi everyone!

Ive been doing really great on the diet- barely any Sx since starting (only the times that Ive gotten glutened! :( ) But this is wierd. Ive been feeling that familiar ''someone is sandpapering my guts'' for a day and a half now and Im wondering what I could have done. The lactose feeling is different, thats more bloating.

Ive been very, very careful about cooking ingredients, checking labels, etc. Cross contamination shouldn't be an issue as I have a gluten-free kitchen with ONE cabinet that has some gluten cookies and flour in it. In this same cabinet are canned items only, which are gluten-free and I think I may have used one in the last day or so. And, I have been eating peanut M and Ms at work (just a little handful, like 6 or 7) on Thursday and Friday.

There have been a few things with natural flavors in it that havent been labeled explicitly gluten free but that have non-gluten ingredients as far as I know.

My gluten symptoms usually come on up to 12 hours after eating something, so this seems hard to pin down. If anyone has advice on how to root out whatever is getting me, that would be great!

Thanks guys!

Food diary. Could be that you have other food intolerances? I didn't discover my soy problem until I'd been gluten-free for a year.

Are peanut M&Ms gluten free? That may be your problem if they're not.

Yep, according to some of the other gluten free websites, they are OK.....

Are you on any medications by any chance? I'm the middle of a reaction to an antibiotic that is identical to my glutened reaction. (It's a toss up as to whether it's gluten or my body's issues with antibiotics that are causing the reaction.) But there are meds that have wheat starch or other problem ingredients, and they don't always list them.

The peanut M+M's probably have dairy in them, if that bothers you. It bothers me. Not that the you eat them, but the dairy bothers me. :D:-) Many of us celiac types have problems with dairy. I know I have a dairy reaction that gets worse if I eat it for a few days running.

Natural flavors scare me. There is a list of companies that will disclose gluten in their products on the Open Original Shared Link

web site. So if their products say natural flavors you are ok. But others you would need to call the company or search the web to find out their gluten-free status.

      GLUTEN FREE OCD MEDICATION

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      vitamin D levels in obsessive-compulsive disorder "The number of participants with vitamin D insufficient ... and vitamin D deficiency ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly higher than the control group... and also the number of participants whose vitamin D levels were in the normal range ... in the OCD group was statistically significantly lower than the control group." Low vitamin D iscommon in Celiac Disease patients. Also no lithium in drinking water (bottled water) or in areas with low ground water Lithium contributes to anxiety. Association between naturally occurring lithium in drinking water and suicide rates The EPA calculated a provisional oral reference dose (p-RfD) of 2 μg/kg-day using the Provisional Peer-Reviewed Toxicity Value   https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2023-11/ucmr5-technical-fact-sheet-lithium-in-drinking-water.pdf Should we all take a bit of lithium?! Raising my vitamin D to 80 ng/ml and taking 5 mg a day of Lithium Orotate for a few month helped me.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      After 3 months without gluten he will have healed and his blood tests will be negative. That does not mean "not celiac, ok to eat wheat, rye and barley again.  It does mean the diet is working.  Many of those recently diagnosed with Celiac Disease are often deficient in vitamin D and other vitamins and minerals.  It's a side effect called Malabsorption.  Get his blood checked for 25(OH)D level to be sure.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yeah, but that's probably not where you want to eat, anyway.

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.
