My son does not react to either that OJ or those hotdogs. Not tried that dressing though. YOu sures a gluten response, and are you sure that you avioded all other sourcse?

hormel sizzler sausage, salad, more salad- consists of lettece, carrots and cucumbers, wendys chili

and kettle chips- lightly salted and today sea salt and vinager- but i know its not the chips i eat like a bag and a half a day

A few things...1st, 2 weeks is hardly anytime for being gluten-free and noticing a difference. Your body may still be 'working things out.' Also--it is not uncommon for Celiacs to miss certain forms of gluten when they are first on the diet, so you may need to revisit what is safe and what isn't. Are you sure you can tolerate sausage and chili--spices, tomatoes or beans? Also, kettle chips (Kettle brand, correct?) do not guarantee their chips are gluten-free--even if gluten is not in the ingredients due to cross contamination. Most companies will use that same CYA, but Kettle's response seemed more shady to me than most others when I checked, so I stopped eating their products. Salt and vinegar chips can be irritating to the stomach too--esp a bag and a half a day. This may not be a gluten issue--you just may need more time on the diet and/or need to revamp your diet a bit...make sure you can tolerate the foods you are eating. Hope you feel better!

I find that apple juice is very hard on a healing digestive system. Although I can drink it now, it still gives me problems now and then. Maybe try and find something with a little less acid content.

It does take quite awhile to heal your body, and you may still be getting traces of gluten through cross contamination. But also realize that a few foods are normally hard to digest and as you are not healed yet, they will cause some similiar problems.

Lay's Stax are gluten-free and made on gluten-free lines. They are similar to pringles and have lots of flavors. Ck out their gluten-free list here: Open Original Shared Link

The best chips of all though--to me :) Are Lundberg Rice chips--ever seen them in store? They regular ones are great with salsa-yum! And the Pico de Gallo taste like doritos--my husband even loves them :)Open Original Shared Link

I know there are some other safe chips, but those are the only ones I eat...so maybe some else will have some thoughts ;)

OH! PS--Good news for you--the Stacks come in a Salt and Vinegar flavor too! :P

OH YES! Just be warned...don't try them unless you want to be whipped by the chips :P The plain are my favs for salsa--so good! But like I said, the Pico de Gallo is good too--little spicy. Dh and friends really like them too--they are chips I always use for parties/salsa etc...b/c I can't tolerate the ones made just from corn. You should try them friend !

Several people here have mentioned feeling sick after kettle chips. I for one avoid them, because I felt sick several times after eating them.

Wendy's chili, I don't eat, but eating out can be risky. I wonder if anyone else has had a problem with their chili. THere may not be. I am just trying to come up with something for you. HOpe you feel better.

i thought everyone said stax make them sick?? well i guess i will pick some up when i get down to the store today

the chili i think does not bug me ever i have had it alot and felt fine most days and im really not feeling that bad today i think it was a mix of having to get up at 4 am for work and not getten a chance to eat any real food until 9:30am

im not like in pain from anything but i get these really really loud groumbls that come from like right below my heart it sounds like dripping or something and then in my lower left side. dont really know whats going on just figured maybe i got glutened im stil lreally new all of my bodys feelings have changed like when i have to use the restroom its a completly diffrent feeling then it was a month before i got sick. as for my head fog its almost cleared up today going in and out a big but im not feeling to bad, so i guess maybe i was not glutened could be i just ate something i was not ready for yet

i have only been gluten free for about 2 weeks with atleast 3 or 4 mistakes already. and i have been eating a cup of chili everyday for three days now so thats probably not helping its just so darn good and fast. how would you guys explain a gluten attack so i know when its happening to me?? anyone have the sea salt stacks? how did they make u feel.

as for those rice chips, yeah when i first got told i may have celiac and to eat gluten free i went to the co-op ( god i hate them there) anyways and that was the chips i found there those are really really good but there expensive

I've not had a problem with Wendy's chili. Frito Lay had a pretty extensive list of safe (gluten-free) products on their website. I read in someone else's posts that sausage can be a culprit because the spices can contain gluten and still be listed as "spices" or "natural flavors." I've also read that the guten reaction can be delayed up to 30 days, so it may still be your body trying to detox and not anything in particular from today.

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel. they offered me an endoscopic biopsy ...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
