Lundberg Bbq Rice Chips And Pamela's Cookies

I finally found out what has been bothering me for the past three months: Lundberg's BBQ rice chips and Pamela's cookies give me a gluten reaction (not another intolerance.. I have definite DH outbreaks!!).

It puzzles me why I didn't react before to these items... could I have become more sensitive to gluten even 1 year into the diet? ?

I hope these products are not causing other people distress. I know I've been poisoned before by a few Bob's Red Mill gluten-free items. It sucks to buy these expensive "safe" brands and still get sick.

I am bothered by some of Pamela's cookies as well...but for me, I don't know if its a gluten reaction or another reaction (I have multiple issues). I am extremely sensitive and understand your frustrations! I have stopped eating Pamela's cookies.

I haven't tried the Lundberg chips though.

I am sorry you are having a tough time. Just when we think we have all the answers....we get thrown for a loop. Good for you for figuring it out though! :)

Are you sure it's not dairy? I believe both (some versions of Pamela's anyway) have dairy.

I suspect I just reacted to Lundberg chips too! I just put in a call to them (had to leave a message as customer service was closed). I'll let you know what i find out.

I wish the reaction was dairy! I can tell when it is gluten or not by the bumps that come up on my hands and abdomen (plus different symptoms). I eat the Sea Salt Lundberg chips all the time with no problem.. it just seems to be the Bbq chips for me.

I feel pretty good when not being contaminated. Taking out the Pamela's cookies really made a noticeable difference to my health. THANKS to you all who gave me heads up on suspecting anything processed. I love my fruits and veggies, but sometimes just want the nice 'crunch' of cereal or chips.

Customer Service called me back today and the Lundberg chips (all varieties) are processed in a different plant on equipment that also processes gluten. :( All their other gluten-free products are made on dedicated lines.

They may have just had a bad batch. I used to eat the Santa Fe all the time with no problem and you ate the Sea Salt without problems, so since I reacted to the Sea salt and you to the BBQ I'm going to assume it was a bad batch.

She did say that she doers not trecommend the chips for people with a wheat allergy or people who are super-sensitive. She was very nice and upfront about all their products and processing.

Holy sh*t!! Mtndog, thanks so much for the info!! I'm so pissed! I just assumed Lundberg was a 'safe' company!! How DARE they not list that statement on those bags, especially when they proclaim "Gluten free" right on the front.

I can't wait till labeling laws, so companies will stop LYING on their products and making people SICK.

Okay, so no more Lundberg chips... anyone else have any safe chip suggestions?

Unfortunately, it's the risk of processed food :(

Those were actually my last resort for a cracker...but I do like Glutino Sesame breadsticks (dedicated!) and Mary's Gone Crackers are also dedicated (I can't do them because of soy) and yummy! I miss them.

As far as chips go I eat Lay's reduced salt and Frito's and have never had a problem. It's weird...my theory though is that smaller companies have fewer lines to run their products on while bigger companies have bigger processing capacity. It's just my theory but I'm sticking to it!

do you think maybe it could be the glue on the box of pamelas cookies that has gluten on it?

Aww im sorry that you guys have reacted before to Pamela's cookies.

I've been gluten free for about 3 and a half months now and I hadn't EVER slipped up and had a reaction before, but recently I just started trying to bake and I'm starting to have my gluten symptoms again. I just so happen to be baking with Pamela's bread mix. Has anyone ever reacted to that? How about Ener-g's egg replacers? Hmm. I'd love to find the source of my issues because im getting tired of feeling like i've been eating buckets of gluten :(

I have had problems with Lundbergs chips too. The BBQ ones and others. I feel bad right away, so I am thinking it may be a reaction to something else in the chips. It's not dairy because not all their chips have dairy in them and those have given me trouble too. I considered the yeast, but not all their chips have yeast in them either.

I also suspect I have problems with Pamelas too, the cookies, and the Wheat Free bread mix :( so I have been staying away from those too.

Yesterday I had Scoops Tostitos and Kinnikinik Brown sandwich bread and I have been cramping all night and D all day.

So I don't know which one did it.... I am suspecting there is a link between these products if it isn't the gluten. (I almost made it three weeks straight without any problems too)

Leaving all these kinds of things out of my diet is leaving me with very few options... would be nice to figure it out, there just may be a common ingredient.

I desperately need calories...

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
