Allergic To Gluten Free Products

Has anyone else notice that they get a bad reaction to so called gluten free products that contain rice flour or maize (cornflour). Even tapioca sets me off.

Off to dietician at Dr.s today and I hope she is going to skin test me. My grandmother was a celiac and my mother had what was diagnosed as IBS. I have hashimoto's disease (underactive thyroid) and apparently it's common for folks like us to have allergies to gluten and dairy (which I have) but this reaction to rice/rice flour and maize/cornflour is driving me nuts (no pun intended). Is this common or is it just me?

There seems to be a small percentage of us, myself included, that react even to gluten free food. I can eat rice and corn on their own when I wash them first. I can eat their flours when I grind it myself, but not in processed gluten free foods. I do a lot of cooking from scratch.

When my body is irritated,I cannot tolerate gluten free baking mixes with tapioca flour, at all.Even on good days, I can't eat much of it without a reaction.But I can eat yucca,the plant it comes from,with no problem.Weirdness.

Thanks for that. it would be very interesting to know what percentage of celiacs have this intolerence so if there's anyone else out there with this allergy please post. After meeting with the dietician my GP has decided to send me to London (probably) to an allergy clinic as his dietician can only devote a half hour slot to me per appointment on the NHS and apparently a proper clinic at a hospital can do a two hour consultation. Ho hum! We shall see.

I don't know how long it's been since you were diagnosed but I've seen many of the "elders" (in knowledge) of this forum suggest eliminating all grains for the first 6 mos. or year, until your body has had a chance to heal. Perhaps you can do a search for more information related to this.

Hi! My daughter who was diagnosed celiac and I (who hasn't had blood tests yet) both ate corn pasta and both had a stomach ache that night.It was like a pit of the stomach ache though, not really intestinal. Almost like an ulcer pain,or gastritis, which I seem to get a couple of times a year. The rice pasta doesn't bother us but the corn, it was like too heavy and harsh? Is that what you mean?

Yes but I get very sleepy and disorientated also if I have any kind of grain including rice, rice flour, corn, corn pasta, any chutney or sauce with cornflour plus intestinal pain. And it can take days to feel right again. But I only discovered this after I had eliminated wheat, oats, rye, barley, spelt, quinoa etc. from my diet.

Those are just a few of the things I was intolerant to. After 8 months gluten free. most have resolved.

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Jack Common · Posted

      Hello! I'm doing a gluten challenge now. I don't know how much bread to eat. There are 4-6 slices of bread a day suggested in most articles. But one slice of bread can be 25 grams or 40 grams. So when it's 25, six slices are just 150 grams. When it's 40 grams, six slices are 240 grams. The difference is huge in my opinion. Can someone recommend the dosage?

      In what way? Skinese:  You paid for it, might as well try.  They are the usual mix and is gluten free. "Free of milk/casein, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten, and soybeans. Contains no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."   Are you using whole milk yogurt or the no fat yogurt.  The no fat has varius ingrediEnts to mimic fats texture but some people react to the  gums used.   Sibo: Foods that do not contain carbohydrates or fiber do not usually cause problems. This includes meats (beef, pork, lamb, venison); poultry (chicken, turkey, duck); fish and shellfish; eggs; and butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Stonyfield Whole milk yogert, I think, is the only one with lactase for lactose intolerance.  Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] For your skin health you need dietary iodine intake around 500 to 1000 micrograms a day.  I take Liquid Iodine 500 mcg a day.  It is the amount I ate daily in the 1960/s before they stopped using it in bread.  Since 1970 the daily intake of iodine has decrease 50%.  50 mcg/drop in the brand I use.  The dose used to prove Wolff-Chaikoff Effect was upwards of 11 grams The USDA lists the safe range from 125 mcg to 1000 mcg (1 gram).  Japanese say 3000 mcg is safe.  Look at tradition japanese hair, skin, and their childrens intellegence.  They must be doing something more right than us.

      FASANO DIET - not Dasani. For some reason, it is not allowing me to edit my post.

      Yes, she should be eating lots of gluten daily...4 slices of wheat bread would be ideal for the screenings.

      Antibodies went up

      By Barcino · Posted

      Hello,  I cant get my daughter's TTG IGA antibodies to drop into the normal range. A bit of the backstory : both my kids were diagnosed in July of 2023. Both were >250 at diagnosis.  My son went from >250 July 2023  to 33 Nov 2023  to 15.7 July 2024. With <15 being negative. He is almost there.  My daughter went >250 July 2023 to 66.3 Dec 2023 to 31.7 July 2024 to now back up to 35.6.  We are a fully gluten free house and we do not eat out AT ALL in any restaurants other than one dedicated gluten-free bakery. We don't eat any oats. She takes anti epileptic drugs / vitamins so we are double checking all medications and supplements. One medication says they should be gluten free but cant guarantee excipients aren't contaminated so we will be changing that one to a different manufacturer.   Feeling a little worried that her levels are worse and we cant get her into the normal range. We are thinking about cutting dairy or doing the Dasani diet. She doesnt eat a crazy amount of processed food and what she has in gluten free certified and not made in shared lines but maybe we should cut it all out until her levels drop? Any other advice? We will check all personal products also, but we believe everything is gluten free. My son is away at school so trying to figure out what she does and eats that he doesnt. Chickpeas (canned), dairy (he doesnt eat much dairy due to acne) and of course her medications.   Thank you for any input you may have.
