I used to eat the blue chips from them and they were good, but the last two bags I bought I got sick from them so I haven't eaten them in probably 2 years. I tend to go with a brand until I get sick then I figure they must not be cleaning their lines well enough between gluten and gluten free products or they changed their recipe.

The Denver chapter of Celiac Sprue Association produces a product book that the lady (I used to live there) kept up really well. If you join their chapter they will mail you newsletter regularly that tell of changes people have found. That chapter of CSA is very active and informative (their meetings were great to go to).

Hope this helps some.

I spoke with a representative of Garden of Eatin after my daughter had a bad allergic reaction from eating the blue chips (she is allergic to wheat). They say their products are not gluten free because they are produced on the same lines as products that contain gluten.

This a copy of the email they sent me after I talked with them.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us regarding our Garden Of Eatin Products. We strive to maintain high quality consistent products and appreciate your patronage.

Due to the nature of most manufacturing facilities, and the number of products that they handle, we cannot guarantee that a given ingredient would not be handled on the same equipment or in the same facility. We avoid cross contamination through good manufacturing practices and a strict allergen control program - this includes proper sanitation and production sequence, as well as proper storage of raw materials. In addition, employee training and education plays an important role. We do follow current FDA regulations regarding the labeling of allergens, if any is used it would be listed in the ingredients label.

Thank you for your continued support of The Hain Celestial Group. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us at 1-800-434-4246, Monday through Friday from 7AM - 5PM Mountain Time.

If you want a safe alternative, Green Mountain Gringo corn chips are made at a dedicated factory. Their salsas are also gluten free. I spoke with the company and confirmed this. Good Luck.

Ok thanks so much, I ate them the other day and didn't feel right that's why I thought I better look into them. I'll try the Green Mountains' if I can find them, thanks!

I have been eating these chips for several months and my intestinal problems have not improved. Maybe this is part of the reason. I am so frustrated-I just can't seem to get this diet right!

Yes I was eating them too.... try not to get frustrated...(easier said then done I know..) but life is a learning experience, every day should be and I just feel glad now that I know they are not gluten-free. I've only been doing this for just over 2 months and I know there is a huge learning curve.

pixiegirl,

Thanks for the words of support. I have tried being gluten-free since March 2004, but I just don't feel like I am doing a very good job. Three medications that were prescribed to me by my gastro. doctor contained gluten, and I had to discover this myself. This is what is nice about this forum. Everyone is trying to help everyone else. :rolleyes:

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
