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!

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel. they offered me an endoscopic biopsy ...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.
