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!

      Were you doing any of the new home construction yourself? Drywall compounds and adhesives used in construction have been known to cause problems for some celiacs.

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello @Scatterbrain and welcome to the forum I am sorry to hear you have had a return of your symptoms. My first thoughts were that stress can cause IBS-like symptoms - a friend of mine has been suffering a huge amount of stress and when that happens she gets diarrhea. But you say that you haven't got any bad abdominal issues, so perhaps you...

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Hello, I was newly diagnosed in January of this year (2025). Since then I have been strict about staying gluten free and only cooking at home. I started feeling better in July while gradually resuming close to my normal routine of activities and athletics. September and October were extremely stressful due to a new home build being finished and moving...

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      Your story is a testament to the critical importance of an early and accurate diagnosis. It's tough to read about what you had to endure, including multiple surgeries and hospitalizations, all while the root cause—celiac disease—remained undetected for so long. Your experience highlights the consequences of medical ignorance surrounding this condition and...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is why Daura Damm can be a sponsor here--at 3ppm or less it is gluten-free, and it's doubtful that anyone with celiac disease would ever have issues with such levels. Some people may be reacting to the yeast in the beer, but I seriously doubt that such beers could trigger elevated antibodies or villi damage--the science says such levels won't trigger...

      Hello @Scatterbrain and welcome to the forum I am sorry to hear you have had a return of your symptoms.  My first thoughts were that stress can cause IBS-like symptoms - a friend of mine has been suffering a huge amount of stress and when that happens she gets diarrhea.  But you say that you haven't got any bad abdominal issues, so perhaps you could share what other symptoms you are having?

      Hello, I was newly diagnosed in January of this year (2025).  Since then I have been strict about staying gluten free and only cooking at home.  I started feeling better in July while gradually resuming close to my normal routine of activities and athletics. September and October were extremely stressful due to a new home build being finished and moving.  My spouse and I take care of his mom who has advanced dementia and have been since 2021.  We did all the moving as well as get the other house on the market for the month of October.  Since earlier this month I feel like I did back in the early stages of my diagnosis.  Almost all of my symptoms have come back except for the bad abdominal issues.  I haven’t changed my diet or supplements since January and wonder if the stress has caused a set back? Any thoughts are helpful.  Thanks

      I have to express some significant skepticism about the drclark cleansing programs you've mentioned. The claim that a specific, three-part parasite and organ cleanse is a universal solution for chronic health issues is a major red flag, as it oversimplifies the immense complexity of the human body and conditions like Celiac disease, which is an autoimmune disorder, not a parasite infection. Regarding your Celiac disease, the reaction you describe, while real to you, does not necessarily confirm a diagnosis; a delayed reaction is common with various digestive issues, and a definitive diagnosis typically requires specific blood tests and an intestinal biopsy, not just a provider's acceptance of symptoms. Furthermore, your mention of approaching mayors seems to misunderstand the role of local government versus federal policy; the deduction for gluten-free food is a federal tax law, and a mayor has no jurisdiction to implement widespread Celiac screening, which is a medical and public health decision far beyond a municipal leader's purview. It sounds like you are navigating a difficult health journey, but I would strongly advise consulting with qualified medical specialists and registered dietitians over relying on unverified online cleansing programs.
