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:

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
