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...

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
