Bummed...something Got Me

Maybe it's the result of the gluten-free bread I made on Sunday that gave me gas on Monday that I'm still reacting to. Maybe it's the gluten-free pizza I got from a local gluten-free bakery (that also makes regular pizza too so I know there's always a cc chance) that I ate on Sun and yesterday. Maybe it's something else entirely. Who knows. What I do know is that yesterday I felt "off" all day and this morning I had a yogurt smoothie for breakfast (vanilla yogurt, frozen berries, a bit of avocado, and ground flax) and w/in an hour my stomach was huge and I had that all too familiar epigastric pain that feels like my belly is trying to stretch bigger than my skin will allow (always gives me flashbacks to being pregnant). I've had that smoothie a million times, so I know it's not that. It's just frustrating because it's been a while since I've felt this way and it's one of the more annoying symptoms I get because it makes me so uncomfortable and I don't want to look 6 mo preggo when I'm not. Thankfully gasx always helps with the discomfort. But I'm left with a big gut, hunger pangs, and discouragement that even when I think I'm being careful, something still gets me. Boo!!!

Ok, venting over.

That stinks. Something got me also. Huge stomach also, now my skin is freaking out and I'm getting moody! Oh what fun this is. FYI, Better double check Gas-X...think it contains gluten!

Gas-x is on the Open Original Shared Link

But thanks for the concern.

You sure you're ok with dairy? Maybe that's it? Hope you feel better!

Could be CC from the pizza

could be too many carbs

could be dairy.

Hon, I know you drink this smoothie all the time, but flax is fiber and if you do not get enough WATER in there, you're going to blow up.

Add some juice or water to the smoothie and follow it with a glass of pure water.

maybe that will help?

Lay off dairy and too many carbs for a few days, push the water and see if it settles back down.

Just some thoughts!

I hate that "blown up inside my own skin" feeling myself :huh:

I have found that not all the drugs on that list are actually gluten free. Better to check with the manufacturer to be safe! :) Get well soon!:)

here is a thread from last fall re: Gas-X products. Some may contain wheat, according to the poster.

Thanks all. I take the gas-x soft gel and never have a problem. Actually it is the best relief to my bloating/distention I've found (phazyme works too).

It could be any # of things. And while it's helpful to know what it was, I also realize that I may never know. I just needed to vent my frustration.

Thanks IH for the reminder about flax. I do add juice to the smoothie and drink it with my morning coffee and follow with a glass of water (to wash down my vitamins). I'm fine with dairy (I eat it daily) but who knows...maybe I had more than usual or maybe it was a combo of things.

Thankfully the bloating has gone, along with the pain, and all that remains is an annoying flare of heartburn.

Some days, I do not know what makes me feel off either, hon. :rolleyes: Part of the mystery of this whole celiac disease thing.

As you say, who knows? Glad you feel a little better!

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Manaan2 · Posted

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Potato Intolerance

      By Jordan23 · Posted

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

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

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

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

      By Doris Barnes · Posted

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
