They say on the package that they are a celiac disease foundation sponser, but on the side of the box it says that the Nut-Thins are produced in a facility athat also makes products with wheat, soy, pecans, and hazelnuts? So is it ok?

I am trying to narrown down what is giving me a tummy ache. I started these after I was gluten free for a few days. Thanks

I love their crackers and eat them all the time. However, there are many people on this board that are extremely sensitive and have had problems with these crackers. If you think they are making you sick stop eating them and see if you feel better. Not exactly scientific but it works!

I've heard of people that react to them. I've never had them myself.

It a person by person thing. Take them out of your diet and see if you feel better.

My son loves the cheese flavor!!! I'm not sure if he gets sick from them, as he gets bouts of occasional loose stools--not so much diarrhea. The way that I look at is that they are simply being honest when they disclose that they use a shared facility. Most mainstream food that many people consume is likely made in shared facilities, and these crackers are no different. It is a personal choice, but I allow my son to eat these crackers. (FYI Kettle chips are made in a nearly gluten-free facility--except that their cheddar beer flavor of chips that oddly enough does not even test positive for gluten. :blink: )

I tend to be very sensitive to cross contamination but I eat Almond Nut-Thins all the time and haven't had a problem. But in a pinch, I've used plain potato chips, tortilla chips or Fritos as a cracker. I've also pressed Chebe dough very thin in my tortilla press and made crackers.

Have you ever tried the tip I got from the Gluten Free Bible to sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese into metal cookie cutters on top of parchment paper and bake them to make a really cheesy cracker? I think I'm leaving out a step because I'm not at home where the book is but maybe someone else could fill in the gaps on this? It's been awhile since I made them.

they're made in shared facilities, on shared equipment, so it's your call. some people have no problem with them, some people feel they have reacted to them. there's no *definite* answer on this one.

I have eaten them with no problems. When I first started this diet a couple of years ago I was so paranoid that if a label indicated something like shared lines I would not have even tried a lot of products. Since I have had no instances of glutening from anything I now just read the ingredient label and if no gluten is involved in the list then I will give most things a try. I decided I would not be obligated to the expensive items from the speciality food stores unless absolutely necessary. I have faith in most mainstream brands and each day more and more are disclosing exactly what is in their products. I don't think it would be in the best interest of any company to get a lot of complaints of cross contamination so for that reason I think most are pretty careful. I see the shared line statement on just about every mainsteam brand and it does not alarm me anymore. Basically I see it as just a CYA. I think this particular item tastes pretty good also.

I also eat them reaction free and a lot of them, daily! Removing from your diet might help to at least narrow down what is causing your discomfort..I hope you start to feel better soon!

well, I guess I should say, duh! :P I will take them out of my diet and see. There is also another thread on this board about the Lundburg Rice Chips--guess what, I was eating those too. Santa Fe BBQ ones. Maybe that's it.

Thank you all.

I have eaten the Nu-Thins without any trouble. But, interestingly, you say you have been gluten-free for only a short while. I can tell you that when I went gluten-free, I had a few bouts in the first couple of months which I couldn't explain. Maybe it's just your body adjusting to your new regimen. :rolleyes:

      Help with genetic testing

      By RMJ · Posted

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.

      Help with genetic testing

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I am taking thiamine hydrochloride. It's been over a week, and the burning seems to be gone. I am also taking a lower dose B complex with iron. Thank you so much for your help!

      No. It's over the counter. Readily available on Amazon. Good bio availability but shelf-life is not as good as thiamine mononitrate which is the most common form found in over the counter vitamin products.
