Whole Foods 365 Sesame Rice Crackers?

just wondering if anyone has tried the whole foods 365 brand rice crackers? I have some sesame ones that I am dying to try.

The label clearly states "Good manufacturing processes used to seperate ingredients ion a FACILITY where wheat is processed". I have trouble with shared equipment but not necessarily shared facilities.

Hi Bev :D

I don't have good luck at all with the 365 brand. Maybe it's just me. I've not tried the crackers, but their almond butter, digestive enzyme and tomato sauce all made me sick.

The almond butter was sent out for testing to the U of Nebraska, and showed gluten-free only to 200 PPM. Maybe things have changed.

Let me know if you try them :)

Are you feeling any better?

i am feeling better! :D

So of course, in my usual style :ph34r: I ate some last night and NO reaction to report! of course, there's the three day waiting period.

Excuse me!?!? :o:huh::ph34r::angry:

Why would almond butter have gluten contamination?!?!

I was going to look into trying there brand since Maranatha organic is so expensive. Does WF have organic nut butters?

I know- that is NUTS but isn't that the Codex standard? :ph34r: i remember reacting VERY badly to an Amy's product and the U of N only found 33 ppm :o

I'm pretty sure they DO have organic nut butters at WF.

Andrea--

I know it sounds crazy. I had reacted to their products before, but didn't complain. With the almond butter, I emailed them and asked about it and mentioned that I was sure it had made me react.

They got back to me, sent me the packaging and postage label, and had me sent it out there for testing. The woman that I spoke to called me back--I can't remember how long after--and told me the results.

I had a thread on this back when it happened--at that time, several people said they also had problems with that brand. Like I said, maybe this has changed by now.

You have a waiting period? I do too. after I was tested and did the preprep stuff I figured it out about what I ate usually appered anywhere between 1 -3 days after sometimes sooner depending what is was. Usually never immeiatly, maybe the stomach noises but would take me a long time for a reaction down under :huh:

yeah- usually I have night sweats THAT night but when I went in for GI testing back in June it took the stupid 5 cups of barium and some other yucky stuff like 3 1/2 hours to move through my small intestine and they had to use a paddle to get it moving so I know I've got one SLOW digestive system.

I pretty much live on the 365 crackers. I like the sesame ones and the seaweed ones. I eat them _all_ the time, and have not had issues.

Now just an almond-pickin' minute!! :angry::lol:

I do GREAT w/ that almond butter. :)

Not to get too ContrarianSpice on ya, but are u sure the 200ppm # doesn't just come from the precision of the test?

I'm pretty sure that a retail price for a 200ppm test is ~$10-20. (Bought some years ago)

I'd venture a guess that a 20ppm test is well over 10x the cost of a 200ppm test.

These things most often go up closer to exponentially.

Was there some indication that the test they used *did* indicate gluten, or was the response more "hey if there IS any, it's under 200ppm"?

Considering how much I rely on this brand of almond butter for trips, I'm very very (can I get a vee-ee-are-why?) interested.

:blink:

(Usually a jar or two in the suitcase, and some in brown-rice tort wraps in carry-on)

Yea--it was pretty much that if it had gluten, it was under 200PPM. CC, possibly?

I'm extremely sensitive, and this is far from the only product that gave me a reaction. I was actually surprised that they offered to test it.

I'm sure lots of people eat it with no problems :)

U of N can test down to 20 ppm. When Amy's sent a sample out to be tested for me (cuz I'm SO special :P ) they told me it couldn't detect anything lower than that so i'm pretty sure that patti's EVIL almond butter had 200 ppm in it.

I'm glad someone doesn't react to it!

I DEFINITELY reacted to the crackers- I feel absolutely HIDEOUS today. It's been awhile since I've gotten glutened and I forgot how "lovely" it feels. Not! :angry:

May also explain why yesterday I tried to launder my soda cans and recycle my socks :rolleyes:

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By MogwaiStripe · Posted

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
