Precious Mozzarella Cheese, Lundberg Bbq Rice Chips, Accumed/kirkland

[Cynbd]

This is really two different topics... But has anyone had any trouble after eating Lundbergs BBQ Rice chips? I get a feeling that everytime I eat them I don't feel right, I get those stomach cramps... I am wondering if there is something else in those chips that bother others that I should take a look at.

Also, regarding Mozzerella Cheese, has anyone had any trouble with the Precious brand? Their website says they don't use gluten but can't guarantee that all their ingredients are safe... so I am thinking I should not touch it.

Last, I just replaced all my Costco/Kirkland/ products that I use since I can't seem to get clarification on whether they are safe or not.

Lactase Enzymes (Lactaid Replacement), Natural Fiber Laxative (Metamucil replacement), Kirkland Ibuprofin, and Kirkland brand of Immodium.

Some of these are manufactured by Accumed and their website doesn't work so I can't send an email, but thought maybe someone else has checked these out. They are much cheaper (what a medicine cabinet... how did I look with all that stuff in my cart

I have been having a bad week so I am trying to look at all the details of my diet ... I do just fine if I don't eat but then I get hungry

I don't know that brand of cheese but have never found a mozzarella that has gluten. Their statement is the standard CYA. I'd eat the cheese without hesitation.

Hi Cynbd......sorry a slow response. My computer at home is broken and I'm finally at the library. I LOVE those Lundberg chips. I quit eating them, for now, because they have yeast in them and yeast seems to still bother me at this point so I am avoiding it. Might you have a problem with yeast? Angel

Hi Angel,

Hm, I haven't really considered yeast. I was thinking maybe 'soy'... When you say yeast, do you mean that you have a reaction to 'yeast' in foods? Or, are you talking about yeast -->intestinal overgrowth --> candida? Or is it the same thing?

I have to say, I have eaten gluten-free breads and I never feel quite right after I eat them, including bread I have made.

I didn't feel right after I ate Pamela's Wheat Free bread mix, and yesterday I made a loaf of Gluten Free Pantry bread mix, and I have been suffering since yesterday with D and bad cramps. I know that Gluten Free Pantry has milk in it, and I did take Lactaid with it -- also, I find that my lactose intolerance resolves itself more quickly than a gluten attack, so I am not thinking that milk was it - and I can eat some cheeses, and other products like Envirokids rice bars... without a problem.

Today, I have had a little cramping but I life goes on, so I had two Vans Waffles and a Bannana and ran to the bathroom within an hour after eating it.

SO -- I am either getting extremely sensitive to cc somehow (and I am trying to be extremely careful all the time) or something else is getting to me.

Arghhh...

YES YES YES.. I finally realized those stupid BBQ Lundberg chips have been making me ill for the past 2-3 months. I always suspected other items because it said "gluten-free" right on the bag and Lundberg was a 'trusted' company.

Every time I ate those chips, I would get said cramps (exactly 1 hr later, it seems) and loose stools. Then the rest of the gluten-reaction followed from there. I've yet to have a noticeable reaction from other LB chips, but I'm wary to buy any others since I just learned they are all processed on lines that also handle gluten!! In my book, shared lines + cramps/bloating/gluten-nausea DOES NOT EQUAL gluten free.

I hope you feel better soon. It's so depressing how one or two bad products can make you feel so bad for so long.

Hi Cynbd....I'm at the library again and just saw your question. I don't know for sure if the yeast overgrowth stuff is the same or not but I'm figuring that it is and not taking my chances. When I eat stuf with yeast in it, I get gas extroidanaire and also the amplified "pinball gut" effect......does anybody

know what I mean about pinball machine in my gut? I get it with ingesting gluten too but with yeast I

might not have the big D. Weird. I have also found that too much soy bothers me as well or as least I'm thinking that's what it is when I eat too much peanut butter. I generally stay away from most soy stuff since I know where it comes from and it's not really as healthy as the food sellers would lead you to believe plus I have hypothyroid and take Synthroid for it and have heard that too much soy isn't good for that either. Sheeeeeeesh! I's always something. I hope this isn't typed too badly....I forgot to bring my reading glasses to the library.

Hi there,

I have had problems with other Lundberg chips too, not just the bbq.. so I am not going near them. I am still not convinced it is cc... but maybe. The thing is, the gluten thing doesn't usually affect me instantly, and those chips do...

I am starting to think about this whole yeast overgrowth thing though. I find if I eat candy I don't feel very well if I eat too much of it, or have it a couple days in a row, and it seems that sugar feeds it according to what I have read.... and I guess these Lundberg rice chips will do it too.

I really don't like to think about the yeast thing because that seems to cancel out just about everything else I can eat... and I have already lost so much weight that I am counting calories everyday to make sure I am getting enough. I have gone from a size 10 to a size 2.... But I am slowly trying to get my brain around it all.

I was diagnosed less than a month ago...and am still figuring things out. A sweet co-worker brought me a bag of Lundberg chips and was so excited. She badgered me into eating two, even though I remembered from this site (or thought I did) that they were questionable. Exactly an hour later, in a board of directors' meeting, I got the "pingpong ball" tummy and gas. I refer it to the alien inside my stomach, like the Star Trek Next Generation episode. Yuk.

Could it be the soy or do you think it's CC?

It could be the soy... I have suspected that too and tend to stay away from it. One night I had some fresh salmon, brocolli with a soy dressing and got D and vomiting... so I did think about the soy in the chips, but that doesn't account for Pamelas Wheat Free bread mix, which doesn't have soy in it.

And -- I could say perhaps I was cc at home, BUT it seems too coincidental that every time I eat those Lundberg Chips I feel bad, and right away too.

I want to try Pamelas again just to see, but I am a little skiddish, I can't seem to purposely want to invite the pingpong ball aliens in.. funny I keep waiting for a good time to try it... like a good time is when I won't mind throwing up or spending the afternoon in the loo with a bucket and a good book...

eesh, it doesn't get better than that does it?

[alamaz]

Just my two cents. I've tried the chips twice and both times I got sick but I can eat the rice cakes and rice without a problem....interesting a lot of people get sick from them too!

This is an old thread from last year, but I and my kids had symptoms this week after eating the Lundberg BBQ flavored chips. I have had problems with them in the past, but I had other intolerances at the time and assumed that was the cause.

In my case, the kids were getting bored with what we were eating at home....I found myself looking at the bag label again thinking, "it says gluten free."

My oldest son (7) is having a hard time healing from Celiac. It's stuff like this that drives me crazy. Foods that make gluten free claims should have to back them up. If I have any of the chips tested, I will post results here - I would be happy to report that they came out clean. Then at least we would know whether we are all suffering from some other intolerance/strange reaction when we eat the chips...

Be cautious!

I know this is an old thread, but I'd like to chime in.

I've been eating Lundberg flavored rice chips for the past two weeks, and have felt absolutely drained. Exhausted. Stools have not been stellar either. Gave them up a couple days ago and feel back to my old self again. If this is a gluten reaction, it would be the first one I've noticed ( I've never challenged ). I guess it could be something else in the chips, but I'm not sure what.

They were so good too...

I've eaten 3 types of lundberg chips and got cramps etc. I switched to riceworks and they bothered me as well, I found out brown rice really gives me cramps and bloating. Brown rice is in a lot of gluten-free foods.
