I just was reeading my box of Blue Diamond Almond Nut Thins. There is a logo on the front that declares them a "proud sponsor to the Celiac Foundation". However, on the ingredient list in bog bold letters...Warning, produced on a line that also produces products conatining wheat! :blink::huh::blink::huh:

I tried Nut Thins and got sick. I haven't eaten them since, which is a shame cuz they are really good. Even though the ingredients are gluten-free, I think there's a cross contamination issue here.

Becky - That's encouraging. Maybe I'll give them a try again. It was over a year ago that I had them.

I believe they have butter/casein, but I do buy them for my daughter who eats gluten-free but can have casein.

I've been wondering about these too. They taste GREAT and I was eating them a lot for about a month. However, I felt awful the whole time and was definitely getting gluten somehow. I can't say for sure that it was the nut thins, but they are a likely candidate. I've stopped eating them and am finally starting to feel better.

I tried them right after being diagnosed and felt awful after eating them. They taste great but I agree, there must be some cross contamination going on.

If you reread the box you'll see it says they're made in a FACILITY that has wheat, not on the same line. In fact, my memory is that they have their own line and possibly their own room.

i live and breathe off of these things and haven't ever had a problem and i've been finding that i'm super sensitive as well...i'd say give them another try...maybe you were having an off day before or there was a slight reaction from something else...i have days where i KNOW i haven't eaten anything wrong but my stomach acts up too...could've just been nature :)

Hi, I have been wondering about Nut-Thins lately too! I recently purchased quite a few boxes because they were on sale. Among the purchases were the new almond cheddar cheese crackers, which were in the special gluten free section of the store. After trying the crackers, I read the box and it DID NOT have the gluten free label anywhere on the box like the pecan and other boxes had. I became concerned and wrote to the company about 2 weeks ago and have yet to hear back. Also, their website does not say the crackers are gluten free, it only says they are proud sponsors of the Celiac Disease Foundation.

This is about the only processed food I consume. Mostly I eat fresh vegetables, fruits and some meat. Has anyone else noticed this?

I love the pecan crackers and take them with me whenever I go out as a safe backup but I do wonder now how safe they really are?

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
