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.

The pecan ones are great, too, but I can't say anything about cc.

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?

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By klmgarland · Posted

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
