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:

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.
