Sesmark, Other Rice Crackers

Hi Y'all.

It's been a while and I have been doing pretty well which is the good news. But I have a question about rice crackers. I used to eat Crunch Master a lot because it was cheaper than the other ones but now and all of the other ones seem to say that they are made in a facility that also handles wheat. So my husband has been discouraging me from eating any since the new label laws went into effect. About a week ago I got some Sesmark sesame crackers and have eaten them 3-4 times. During that time I have had minor stomach complaints and now today, 15 mins after eating 6, I definitely started feeling that old glutening feeling. It's been 8-9 hours and it's just continuing on and I'm getting that depressed feeling also.

I can't think of another thing I've been eating this past week that would be the problem. I have not been glutened in several, several months.

Does anyone have any info about these crackers or if they've gotten glutened from them? I'm pretty bummed out, this is a big weekend for me (tomorrow is my husband's birthday, our anniversary on Sunday, then my birthday on Monday) and I just don't feel like doing much of anything, let alone get ready for a big party tomorrow (which we are having). Argh!

Thanks!

Stephanie

Hi Stephanie--Nice to see you back--and your pretty kitty! (I even showed the picture of your cat to my husband--so cute!) I'm glad to hear that you've been doing well. Sorry, I don't have experience with those crackers--but it sounds to me like they are affecting you. I would stay away from them for a while--certainly through all of these happy occasions--and maybe try them again. Have a wonderful birthday! :)

Thanks, Patti! I'm getting ready to make the food for the party now and I'm thinking, blech. If it doesn't affect my mood, I'll be ok, because I can deal with stomach pain - just not the emotional roller coaster! :)

Yeah, my kitty got his picture in the paper recently (I used him as a model for an article I was writing about flea treatments) and now he has a big head and lots of people have been commenting on him when I see them now.

OK, one more "famous" picture of Benny the cat. You have to scroll down past the article.

Great article! We've been lucky--our cat is strictly indoors. I've heard the fleas can still get to an indoor cat, but it hasn't happened (knock wood) :D Enjoy the party!

Oh--just saw the second article/picture--so cute!! And the new kitchen is gorgeous :)

Your cat looks just like mine, except that mine has white paws. They could be related.

Steph-

So glad to see you back! I had been thinking about you...but never got around to pming you :( I ate those crackers once, but haven't since. I didn't notice a reaction per se, but every once in a while I just get a vibe from a product, usually from a statement they've made, and I choose not to trust them. Weird maybe...but I've stopped using a few products based on that... Hope you feel better soon...

Ah-Benny is so flippin' adorable ! Patti--I also didn't "recognized" you with the new pic--beautiful sunflower! Maggie is an "indoor" cat, but she had had a flea or two from time to time...She might pick them up on the screened in porch. She wears a lovely purple flea color in the warm months (which she hates) !

Well, I survived my weekend but I am still having stomach reactions. So definitely got a glutening in there. It was fast after eating the crackers, but in retrospect, I ate them several times (at least three times) during the week before, and it was nearly 24 hours after the first time I ate them I started feeling something. But nothing like how I felt 15 mins or so after eating 6 on Friday. Blech.

Fortunately, has not affected my mood. That is a good thing. I can get really depressed. I will give the other crackers a shot in about a month - I bought a 6-pack at Costco so I have a ton. But if they don't work out, then I'm 100% on Mary's Gone Crackers. Those are delicious! Though it would be nice to have variety.

Nice to see you Jen. I'm doing well otherwise and had been enjoying my 4 months of no food reactions/no migraines. Oh well. Had to happen at some point, I guess!

Every time I eat Sesmark or Crunch Master rice crackers I wind up very sorry I did because I get gluten brain fog and the black cloud of doom. I've "tested" this several times and have no other explanation. It is still kind of hard to believe that such a small amount would do that to me.

      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.

      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.
