    @Nick Cheruka, Are you taking a B Complex along with your B12? There are eight B vitamins. Just taking B12 can deplete Folate B9. Thiamine B1 is needed to provide energy. So B12 and Folate need energy from Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3 and magnesium. B12 also needs Pyridoxine B6 which in turn needs Riboflavin B2. Try taking a B Complex...

    @momashes, Have you been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? Besides the low iron? How is your Vitamin D level? It needs to be above 80 nmol/L for Vitamin D to work like a hormone and reduce inflammation and modulate your immune response. How about B Complex vitamins? Thiamine is needed to turn carbohydrates, fats, and proteins...

    If you are eating food from a restaurant, your chances of cross contamination is greater. Try eating simple meals cooked at home. Grass fed beef and fresh veggies.

    When I get sick from something I can't identify from my food journal, I revert back to the Autoimmune Paleo diet. Grass fed beef, and fresh or frozen veggies. No nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, and peppers), no nuts, no legumes, no pulses (beans and lentils), no rice, no grains, no dairy, no eggs. Once my tummy has calmed down, then I can add...

    @Isshbalien, Welcome to the forum! Yes, cooking gluten-free pasta in water previously used to cook gluten-containing pasta will contaminate the gluten-free pasta. The gluten-free pasta will be contaminated with gluten from the water. It will not be gluten free.

    Very unlikely bananas contained gluten.

    Some people develop a reaction to bananas if they develop a reaction to latex. https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/latex-allergy And... The latex-fruit syndrome https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12440950/

    Are you feeling better? Did your symptoms resolve?

    You may want to postpone getting any more gluten free flours until you have been checked by your doctor. If exposure to King Arthur gluten free flour has caused breathing problems, that could be a sign of allergic anaphylaxis which may get worse (life-threatening) upon repeat exposure. Dermatitis Herpetiformis (DH) is an itchy skin rash. There are...

    @Estelle21, Welcome to the forum! Nutritional deficiencies can be the cause of your health problems. Thiamine deficiency can cause anorexia and eating disorders. A rash around the mouth and nose can be caused by deficiencies in zinc, Riboflavin B2, and B12. Changes in nails can be caused by deficiencies in iron, Vitamin D, and Biotin B7. Low...

    Some gluten free flours and baked products use Sulfites to bleach the gluten free flours to the nice "white bread" look we've grown accustomed to seeing with wheat flour. I've a Class IV Hypersensitivity to Sulfites, so I avoid products containing them. Einkorn wheat is the ancient breed of wheat. It is NOT safe for Celiac people, though those...

    @selectivefocus, Hi! Long rants are welcome here. We understand. Bananas... some people develop an allergy to Latex (rubber) and this spills over into bananas, bell peppers and cucumbers because of similar triggering proteins. "An increasing number of plant sources, such as avocado, banana, chestnut, kiwi, peach, tomato, potato and bell...

    @Martin VeganTrailRunr, Taking that supplement has probably masked any actual deficiencies you might have. Blood tests for vitamin and mineral deficiencies are not accurate. They can reflect what one has consumed and absorbed from food or supplements in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Blood tests do not accurately reflect how...

    @LCAnacortes, Vitamin D deficiency can cause tinnitus. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause tinnitus, too. Iron deficiency as in iron deficiency anemia can cause pulsating tinnitus. Zinc and magnesium can help relieve tinnitus, too. You're very welcome.

    Welcome, @LRFun, I found this study.... HLA DQ Gene Dosage and Risk and Severity of Celiac Disease https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2175211/ "Those with 2 copies of DQB1*02 would be much more likely to get celiac disease than those with a single copy, who in turn are much more likely to get it than someone without a copy....

    @Bob Land, Welcome to the forum! I take Thiamine Vitamin B 1, Pyridoxine Vitamin B 6, and Cobalamine Vitamin B12 for back pain. The combination really works. Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ I take 500 mg Thiamine, 50 mg Pyridoxine, and 1000 mcg B12. Hope...

    @su2099, Welcome to the forum! Replacing nutrients that you're not absorbing is beneficial while recovering from Celiac Disease. Be aware that vitamins are added to gluten based products to replace those destroyed in processing. Now that you are not getting those, you need to eat a nutritionally dense diet. To replace the vitamin stores...

    Xanthan gum can cause diarrhea, bloating, flatulence, and can alter gut bacteria. Xanthan gum is produced by bacteria fed sugars from corn, wheat, soy or dairy, so if one is sensitive to those, Xanthan gum might not be a good choice. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/xanthan-gum

    @StrongerThanCeliac, I'm thinking it might not be Listeria. You could have eaten something else along with the green beans that upset your system. What else did you eat? High histamine foods can cause problems. Nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant) can cause leaky gut and histamine problems. Do you keep a food...

    Have you had a genetic test done to determine whether or not you have any Celiac genes?
