Stadium Nachos..glutened?

I became incredibly weak while at a WWE event with the kiddos. I sent my hubs on a snack mission and he found a stand that sold only nachos. So being desperate, I told him to buy them for me. 2 days later and I'm having symptoms. I know I shouldn't have, but thought the cheese and chips were safe. Does stadium cheese usually contain flour? I know it was a stupid move.. : /

Not all corn tortilla chips are gluten free. And the dairy could be causing you issues. That was a gamble. Did it say gluten free anywhere at the stand? Did your hubs ask the vendor if it was gluten free?

I don't believe he did, we both just took a chance. I've never seen corn chips that had gluten, so I assumed I was clear there. I have successfully added small amounts of dairy back, so I thought I was good there, too. Poor judgement, there.

The amount of dairy could have been too much... I can't eat as much as I used to. But not all tortilla chips are gluten free. Unfortunately sounds like you lost on that gamble. Hope you feel better soon!!

I think the cheese sauce might be your biggest issue.  Who knows what is in that stuff?  It could have wheat as a thickener.

I've seen nacho cheese sauce with wheat in it. It's not cheese, it's some sort of freakish thing that isn't even food anymore (but is still yummy!) so who knows what sort of freakish things is in it. The rule is: unless you know exactly what is in something, it doesn't belong in your mouth. A simple "is it gluten free?" and "yes" is never good enough for me. I've had too many experiences of "that's without sugar, right?" or "it's fine, it's white flour not wheat flour" to trust some random moron with my health.

If dairy (and particularly lactose) is an issue, stadium cheeze is not going to be your friend.  Check out the percentages for "processed" American and Velveeta in particular, since those would be closest to any kind of nacho sauce:  Open Original Shared Link

 

Fat is another issue.  It can upset your ailing tummy as much as any forbidden food.  Dairy and fat together?  They're like a dynamic duo of very delicious evil. 

 

I would say that it's unusual for corn chips or nacho cheeze to have gluten in it.  I've seen "modified food starch" without a specified source, but I've never seen actual wheat flour.  That said, I too don't like to eat anything I can't read first.  When coworkers bring a snack to work, I feel like a horrible person but I always have to ask, "Can I see the label?"  Some people scoff at chain restaurants or cafes like Starbucks, but I love being able to see all the ingredients on the website before I even THINK about going in.  I simply don't trust people to know whether a food is gluten free or not.

The server might have also handled hot dog buns or something else that cross contaminated the chips

It was probably the chips. I can't tell you how many times I'll be in the grocery store looking at tortilla chips and see that they are a blend of both wheat and corn. Think about this, both corn tortillas and flour tortillas exist, so why wouldn't both forms of tortilla chips?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
