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...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
