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

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
