Help, What Am I Reacting To

Yesterday I has some Tostitos with Tostitos Salsa Con Queso (nacho cheese) and I felt like I ate something with gluten. Bad stomach pain, headache, overwhelming depression, tired, my eyes burned. I couldn't figure it out because their website says gluten free. Well today I was finally feeling better and I ate some Tapioca pudding (which I have never tried) and same reaction! What is going on? Am I going crazy? I don't feel like I have the flu, you know how it feels different? I am so frustrated, if I was gonna eat something that would make me sick like this I would have had a slice of pizza and at least enjoyed it!

I would recommend that you eliminate dairy for a while. Let your system heal a little bit, then you can add dairy a little at a time to see if it bothers you.

SOUNDS LIKE DAIRY IS YOUR PROBLEM FOR CERTAIN..........ELIMINATE IT FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS AND THEN TRY AGAIN. HANG IN THERE

I have reacted to both Tostitos Chips and Tostitos Salsa before. I stopped eating them and started making my own chips from corn tortillas and just eat homemade salsa.

I am so frustrated, if I was gonna eat something that would make me sick like this I would have had a slice of pizza and at least enjoyed it!

I totally know what you mean! If we're going to have to go through the pain, we should at least be able to enjoy the gluten!

I wouldn't touch Tostitos with someone elses hand, for anyone that eats them all the time sorry if that offends but for me most of this companies products are like playing roulette with my body. Sometimes they are fine other times they are not and it is just not worth the risk. They may have 'gluten free' ingredients but CC issues make these far from safe. When first diagnosed I was overjoyed to get their gluten free list but it wasn't long before I realized how gluten free most items on it weren't. I guess this turned into a rant, sorry about that but mainstream companies will do and label anything so they can sell the product and it infuriates me. Just look how many put wheat starch, a totally nutritionally useless filler, into their non wheat cereal products a short time ago just so they could say 'multigrain' on a label.

If you were glutened it can take a bit for the effects to go away. Also as mentioned many of us can not handle dairy, some permanently. Once your villi have healed if you are lactose intolerant that should go away, if your body is forming antibodies to the protein in dairy then that is permanent. Have you considered going to enterolab for you and your family? They can tell you if you are forming antibodies or not, as long as you are not IGA deficent.

My Dr thought I was gluten intolerant. But it turns out I have fructose malsorbtion. Try eliminating any high fructose corn syrup. I also eliminated all sugars. Some artificial sweetners I can tolerate. Its worth it to get tested. You just take a breath test. Good Luck! :huh:

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
