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!

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
