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...

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
