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.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
