Hot Nuts

Ok so this is completely random, and I don't know if they sell these anywhere but NYC, but I'm totally craving hot nuts. (this may not be the technical name, but they are literally the hot nuts they sell from vendor carts on the street).

Clearly there is no where I'm going to be getting an ingredient list from, but has anyone tried eating these and been ok? Depending on what goes in them I'm assuming there really wouldn't be a lot of CC issues, they're only made with other nuts.

Jillian--Sorry, I don't know about how they're made, but when my husband and I go to NYC, the smell of those nuts make my mouth water as we walk around :D

I'm thinking that the only ingredients -- you know besides HOT NUTS -- are salt and corn syrup. But who knows? I haven't risked it.

I haven't been in NYC for a long time, but they used to sell roasted chestnuts in a lot of big cities - you could smell the charcoal or coal that they used to roast them. If they are big round reddish brown nuts with a lighter colored circle, they should be chestnuts and should be safe to eat.

Hey J,

If they are peanuts, the are probable just boiled in salt water. Gluten Free Presumed.

PS - Thanks for the McD's gig, you were great and kudo's to your friends.

No they're not the chestnuts. I don't think they sell those on the streets here anymore. I haven't seen them in years. These are more like a peanut (i think they also have almonds and cashews), with like a sweet candy shell to them. One of these I may ask one of the vendors if he knows what goes into making them. LOL!!

Are you talking about the nuts like they sell in stadiums? Almonds, cashews, or pecans with a thin candy-like coating? If you are, the coating is GENERALLY just cinnamon, butter, and sugar. I have, however, seen these with gluten containing ingredients also. I've seen these nuts at health food type stores with ingredients clearly listed, they may be safer from a store. I hope that helps.

Are you talking about chestnuts, they are in a shell? If you are, I think you only see them around Christmas. We only get them up here in around November and December. They are great roasted or even as a stuffing...I love them.

Whoops did not see the previous chestnut question.

Hi im from ireland and we have them here, they are peanuts that have a shell around them and are spicy and served warm... the brand we have here is saharah nuts and they have a wheat based coating, if they are like the ones in nyc I would try to avoid.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
