Does anyone know what they use to pelletize small seeds in packets? I have definately been glutened and am having a hard time figuring out what it was. I eat very little processed foods but have had a few Cheetos in the last couple of days. Nothing else different.

What are pelletizing seeds?

When seeds are very, very tiny they will coat the individual seeds to make them larger and easier to plant. I have no idea what they might use but do know it would have to disolve .

Hmmm, Cheetos contain artificial flavor. I wonder if that could be the culprit. As for the seeds...can't find anywhere what they coat them with. Another mystery to solve!

I know cheetos are supposed to be okay, but they make me sick. So do Fritos and Utz potato chips, which even say they are gluten free. I'm trying also to determine what these items might have that are making me sick. Possibly another allergy?

Utz potato chips made me very sick recently. I began to feel it 2 hours after I ate them.. I was sick for over a week. Not back to normal for a while after that. They say gluten-free on the bag, their website says they can't guarantee it. I emailed them, was very nice about it, and never heard back.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.
