Mountain Trail Mix

Recommended Posts

I bought a trail mix from walmart (Mountain Trail Mix) and it seems to bother my stomach...looking at the ingredients it appears safe, but then I am new to the gluten-free diet and I may not be picking up on gluten ingredients. Here are the ingredients:

Raisins, peanuts, M&M's (milk chocolate - sugar, cocoa mass, milk ingredients, cocoa butter, lactose, soy lecithin, salt, artificial flavours), sugar, corn starch, corn syrup, gum acacia, color (tartrazine), dextrin, carnuaba wax, almonds, cashews, peanut oil.

Can someone help with this? Unless I am lactose intolerant (which I have not been tested for), then I don't see why this would bother me. Maybe because it is manufactured on the same equipment as other trail mixes that contain oats?

Thanks for listening!

Cheers

Hi Carrie--Have you been gluten-free for long? Sometimes after being on the diet for a while, other intolerances come up. Also, many Celiacs have trouble digesting lactose before the intestine has a chance to heal. If you think it's the lactose, you could try cutting it out--and if it helps, don't try it again for 6 months. That may give your system time to heal enough to digest it. Another possibility is CC--there are a lot of ingredients in there--most likely, it was produced in a facility that processes other foods. Dried fruit bothers some in the inital stages of healing. Best to try individual foods first to see how you do with them.

I just pinned your topic--topics go to the end of the forum until a moderator reads and pins it in the proper forum. :)

Oooh, now I understand, thanks :P

Thanks everyone for the replies, I will probably just avoid the trail mix, or even make my own basic one.

but it obviously don't agree with me! :(

My boyfriend and i buy this trail mix alot. being that its the only one of their mixes that i think would be gluten-free (some of the others contain choc. chips, or sesame sticks, or seasonings). i had problems with it too at the begining of my gluten-free diet. now i seem to handle it fine. i would think its ok being that M&Ms, nuts, and raisins are all okay to eat. i had noticed that i have a problem with nuts sometimes- they make my stomach gurgle a little.

Walmart is now labeling all their gluten-free stuff. I had noticed this was not labeled as gluten-free and just assumed it may have CC issues or the dextrin or artificial flavors may be the problem.

Great Value is labeled, but Sam's Choice (which makes the trail mix) does NOT label gluten-free

      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.
