Cc? Hilshire Farms Or Frito Lay?

For breakfast we had fruit, gluten free, no problem.

For lunch we had Hilshire Farm Cheese Brats, and Ruffles potato chips, with Frito Lay french onion dip.

All the Celiac people in the house are sick.

I have a major headache and tummy ache

4 year old has a rash and is cranky

3 year old has D, rash, cranky, and says her brain is "paused" (I think she means brain fog)

We haven't ever gotten sick from any of the stuff we ate today before, and hubby is fine. I read it all, and it all looks to be gluten free.

Do you think we got Cross-contaminated?

:huh:

If so, have any of you had problems with Hilshire Farms or Frito Lay??

Frito Lays chips gives me problems.

I eat Ruffles all the time with no problem.

Haven't eaten Hillshire Farms, but I hear their gluten will be clearly labelled.

Sorry you're sick.

Just looked up Frito-Lay French Onion dip online and it says "contains milk and wheat ingredients."

OMG.....

Do you think the label is wrong?

it has modified Tapioca starch.....what's that??!

CarlaB Enthusiast

On the internet I believe it said modified food starch. It was difficult to read.

it's on their Open Original Shared Link, but since it's the first time we tried it and we haven't ever had a problem with ruffles or hilshire farms, I am calling them monday, to find out what the deal is... that is scary that I just fed my kids gluten. :ph34r:

they are pissed off at me now. They keep saying "how can we trust you now?, you said it was gluten free!"

This is a good learning opportunity for your kids. Tell them you do the best you can and still make mistakes just like they do. Remind them of mistakes they've made that you've forgiven them for so they can see that's what you do, you don't just blame others without forgiveness. Besides, you're sick, too!! I would definately use this as an opportunity to reinforce with your kids that you love them, you make mistakes, too, but it's not an excuse for them to not treat you with respect. You're settting the stage now for their treatment of you when they're teenagers :blink: Being a mom of teenagers, I'm glad I demanded respect from them when they were little, like yours are!!! ;)

Hang in there! Being a parent is difficult! Especially when you don't feel good and have this additional burden of celiac.

Did you use the Lays dry dip mix? That's the one on the list. The one I looked up was Frito-Lay French Onion Dip.

At the bottom of the frito lay website it says even though we wash between packaging a slight residue may remain and that people extremely sensitive might be affected. B)

Just wanted to add a thought, were you doing any finger painting, playing with clay, gluing pictures, drawing on a chalkboard, etc? These are also possible sources of contamination. In addition I would also look at what you had eaten the day before. For some of us the reaction can be delayed. For example I got glutened Friday night through CC at a restaurant :angry: My ataxia was back with brain fog and a migraine yesterday morning but the stomach pains started last night and the frequent bathroom visits and joint pain today. I hope everyone feels better soon.

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Fascinating! This was very helpful, thanks for sharing

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
