Not The Basic Symptoms

Hi, my name is Erica. I have noticed that everytime I go away from home, I stay away from gluten, or at least I think I do, but the next day at home I start to have symptoms. And they last usually for 3-4 days. Can just the idea of being away from home be a trigger of symptoms? I read somewhere that its not just gluten consumption that can trigger issues but other factors. Is this one of them.

And when you do have symptoms, is there anything you can do to alleviate them?

Stress, anxiety and a range of other feelings and emotions can arise when going away. Some of these factors are thought to be an activation mechanism for the celiac gene. Some of the naturally gluten free foods you may be consuming could have 'trace residues' of gluten present.

I also believe that 'gluten reactions' could be stronger when there is a greater level of stress present. This may be the difference between more symptoms and more damage.

I try and relax as much as possible when things are out of routine. That way, in the case of glutenning, I find I get less unwell. Hope this helps. :)

      Royal Caribbean Only, Please

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:
