Help Me Find The Gluten

OK- I felt fine yesterday.

I ate turkey chili with:

Green Mtn. Gringo salsa

Goya red kidney beans

Cabot cheddar cheese

McCormick taco seasoning

a Glutino blueberry bar.

Cape Cod reduced fat potato chips

organic corn tortillas (forget the brand but could look it up if I had to)

Sunmaid dried prunes and apricots

The new stuff on this list really is the Cape Cod chips, the corn tortillas (new brand) and the Sunmaid dried fruit. Everything else I've had before and been fine with. Has anyone ever had a problem with the Cape cod chips or Sun Maid dried fruits? I know there's always a chance it was CC since I am sensitive to anything processed in a wheat facility.

This "glutening" feels kind of strange. It came on a little differently than the others. I felt a little nauseous this morning. Ate some prunes. Felt OK. And then I just fell asleep hard at like 11:30 for two hours. I rarely ever have that happen. Now i'm up, my head hurts and my stomach is gurgling away. something's not adding up. All i know is I feel yucky! :(:unsure:

B--Sorry you feel bad today :( . I don't have any experience with the chips, but I do eat Sun Maid Dates all the time and never have a problem. Do you think it might be CC with the chips? I had that happen to me with Utz. Another thought--are you OK with soy? I know that Glutino uses soy flour in some things. That's all I can think of--feel better! :)

francelajoie- I am but it's definitely not that :( I haave my friend right now and this feels like a virus- my whole body hurts.

Thank you both for your well wishes. patti- I think I am OK with soy. I try not to eat a lot of it but haven't noticed problems in small amounts.

I'm actually wondering if maybe I have a virus coming on too. Ugh!

Just found this on Gluten-free in San Diego:

Cape Cod Potato Chips

11/05

The following is from an email that was sent 11/07/05 by Farrell Souza in Customer Service:

Our Cape Cod No Salt, Salted, Robust Russet, and Reduced Fat Potato Chips are gluten free. The only ingredients are the potatoes, oil and salt (except on the no salt). Our Cape Cod Sea Salt & Vinegar,

Nantucket Spice, Reduced Fat Fresh Garden Herb and Jalapeno & Cheddar Potato Chips are also gluten free. However, we do produce seasoned items, such as Beachside (formerly called Firecracker) Barbecue, that does contain gluten (the gluten is in the seasoning) at the same time (on different machines, in the same room).

Our unseasoned items are produced on the same packaging lines as the seasoned items. However, we do wash and sanitize our equipment between production runs of gluten and gluten free containing products.

We do not use seasoning in the room when we run the russets.

I've had a problem with Sunmaid Dried raisens, but not sure it was gluten, or an intollerance. I don't eat them anymore anyway, and dry our own fruit now. We have a couple of cherry trees and they make wonderful dehydrated cherry raisens.

Maybe it is a virus--you said it feels 'different'. Right now, here in NJ, there are stomach viruses going around and affecting so many people, they actually closed a high school on Friday so they could disinfect!

Wow! They closed a high school? That's crazy! My sister's whole family just had it. But it's weird- when i woke up this a.m. I felt fine, ate some Sunsweet Prunes (I thought it was Sun Maid) and about an hour later thought I was goiong to die. Feeling a little better now. just frustrated because i was having a good run and now I feel like crawling back into my bubble. :(

Well - prunes will do that to you anyway :rolleyes: Could it be that you're sensitive to sulfites in the dried fruit? Sometimes I think that gets me. And I'm always more sensitive when my "friend" is here too!

Feel better soon!!

I recently realized i get very sick from certain types of dried fruit-- i havent totally figured it out yet but i can say for sure that dried apricots, mangos and a few others make me woefully ill...feels like a gluten rxn but a little different...debilitating nonetheless. Strangest thing is i eat dried blueberries, cranberries and raisins daily w/ no problem whatsoever. But when i mentioned it to my mom she said she has the same problem, so who knows-- i dont think it is sulfites b/c i drink wine like its my job and never have a rxn!

Anyway, maybe try not eating the dried fruit for a few days and see if that helps. Feel better!!!

That is interesting, I have been wondering if Sunmaid raisins were also giving me grief.

Mookie- That's ghod to know. This was my firsy foray into dried fruits besides dried cranberries. i figured i'd branch out and try prunes, apricots and figs. i think the apricots were OK but I think it was the prunes. I don't think I have a problem with sulfites as I drink wine occasionally with no ill effects. Oh well- the prunes tasted DISGUSTING anyway. I was choking them down. Just chucked them in the trash this morning :P

Thanks everyone for your help!

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
