Please, please, please respond if you have had a bad reaction to Lundberg's BBQ Rice Chips, or any of Lundberg's Rice Chips. There are a number of people using this forum of have complained they felt ill after eating them.

It's important that we figure out if there is a problem, and address it with Lundberg's.

FYI, all of Lundberg's products are processed in their facility, EXCEPT the Lundberg Rice Chips which are processed by a different company in a different facility. You guessed it, that facility also processes wheat on the SAME equipment which is "washed down" afterwards.

In my opinion, they're not safe. I had a reaction to them immediately and it was the only thing I had eaten, so I'm sure it was the chips. Not BBQ, though, but rice. I won't eat Lundberg again.

Oh no . . . . . . I eat Lundberg chips all the time. Since I don't have GI celiac, the only way to know if I've been "glutened" is either 1) through bloodwork or 2) more neurological damage.

My cranial reflexes are now GONE -- not only is it dangerous because they're protective, but it is indicative of a HUGE neurological problem. I just found that out when I went to the neurosurgeon. My eyes also have increased neurological trouble -- I found that out three weeks ago at the neuro-opthmalogist.

I HATE when companies do stuff like this. Why would they put people at risk like that? I am LIVID. I am also calling them tomorrow and addressing this with them.

Thank you for the information.

YES!! I react badly to the Lundberg BBQ rice chips (and possibly the other flavors, but I KNOW the BBQ chips are bad news). I have yet to get sick from the plain Sea Salt chips and continue to eat those without problems.

Things like this really upset me. They can process food on shared equipment with wheat, just don't lie and put "GLUTEN FREE" in the corner of the product without testing.

I have gotten sick everytime I have eaten the BBQ chips. I steer clear of all their products now -- too risky.

It makes me wonder if it's something in the BBQ flavoring -- either that or do they use the chips from the first run for BBQ???

I react to them also. I am another one who is a bit more than annoyed with these companies. They are fully well aware of CC issues but heck if they put that on the bag they won't sell as much of their product. I always make it a practice now on the rare times I eat anything labeled gluten-free to look and see if they make other poison products also. If the company does I pass, I have to, I don't want to but it takes weeks for me to recover from a glutening. I would love to be able to eat processed mainstream foods but unfortunately I found it is like playing with a firecracker. I never know if when the food leaves the hand if it will blow up my gut.

I've just recently been eating them and due to other food sensitivities, eating only the Sea Salt ones. I bought a new bag and brought it to work with me today. I had about 5 or 6 while working and starting to develop a stomach ache. Since this is all I've eaten for the past couple hours it make me go hmmm. It does say caramel coloring - what is that made from? So I got on the internet to see if anyone else is having problems and here you all are. I guess these are a no no now. That's too bad. They were good.

Geez, I always wondered why I always felt fuzzy headed and a little yucky after I ate those. I stopped eating them because of this!! I get that reaction to all the flavors.

Hmmmm very interesting. As some of you know, I have been trying to figure out what has been making me feel bad the last several days. I didn't even think about this. I had the Santa Fe BBQ ones. They are soooo good. But, maybe that is what's bothering me. I will cut it out as well as some other stuff and see.

Thanks for the info

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      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.

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

      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...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

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

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

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.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
