There are only 2 things that I ate that are new to me. One is a three musketeers candy bar and the other was salt and pepper lay's potato chips. Does anyone know if these are gluten free? I am sure I have ingested something with gluten because I remember these symptoms very well :(:(:(

Three Muskateers is gluten-free.

Don't know for sure about the Lays. I worry about cc with chips.

Sorry you're feeling bad. Between the new name and the new avatar, I almost didn't recognize you!!

First lesson, don't eat anything if you're not sure it's gluten-free.

Lay's has serious CC problems on some products.

Besides possible cross-contamination, there are a number of chips that also have hidden MSG in them. Just look up the symptoms that causes and you may be surprised. It's a major cause of Diabetes for one thing, which has been known since the seventies. Yet the packaged food companies (and sadly, also gluten-free food companies) use MSG as a "flavor enhancer". It does this by over-stimulating certain parts of the brain, making the person perceive a sensation of the product having a higher fat content than it really does. That's how many products achieve a fuller flavor with less calories and fat on the label. Often the MSG is listed as some form or another of yeast. You might see "yeast extract", "hydrolyzed yeast", or even something as bold as "nutritional yeast". All of these are added for the naturally occurring free glutamic acid, which is how they get the MSG into the product without actually explicitly adding it. Otherwise it would have to be on the label, and the public is too informed about it for the product to sell well that way. OK, sorry for the rant...

Here's an eye-opening link for you:

Those chips are probably what caused the symptoms. Some people have had problems with brands that are made on the same lines and then end up with cross contamination issues. I have problems with certain chips. 3 Muskateers are gluten free. I agree though...if you don't know for sure that something is gluten free then you should not be eating it.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
