Erewhon Brown Rice Cream

Recommended Posts

Has anyone had any reactions from Erewhon Brown Rice Cream or Lundberg's Lime chips (not sure of the correct name of this... but if you've eaten them you would know what I'm talking about)

those are the only new things I ate yesterday - and I'm breaking out and itching so bad right now... I have DH - it's a strong reaction - more than a "trace" of gluten that I've experienced from other products...

the Lundberg's are labeled gluten free (i've eaten two other flavors and had no problems) and I took a chance on the Rice Cream - but I looked it up afterwards (yes, afterwards... ) But they say it's gluten free all over the internet.

I didn't eat anything else yesterday that could have caused this... eggs, grapes, roast, potatoes and broccoli - that's it along with the chips and the brown rice cream.

grumbling (and itching) in NC

Hi Debbie,

Both foods you mentioned are gluten-free but made on shared equipment or in shared facilities with gluten. Lundberg's products are mostly made in a gluten-free facility--except the chips and some of the rice mixes.

I called on the hot cereal myself recently, and was told it was not made on dedicated lines.

Some Celiacs are more sensitive than others, and will react to products made on shared lines.

There was a thread here a while back about Lundbergs chips. They have made many of us sick!

I've not had any problems with the sea salt flavor - that's all I usually buy and my daughter (age 25) - who is celiac as well - finished off the bag of lime flavored and hasn't mentioned any problems

I think I figured out since then that it may not have been the food... I'm a smoker - my husband is very country and wanted to try to roll his own cigarettes... I smoked one of his rolled smokes over the weekend and didn't even stop to think about the possibilities of gluten. Well come to find out the brand of papers he used WERE NOT gluten-free - Honestly that is probably what got me - thank you for all your help - and I know.. I need to quit smoking - it's coming soon.

I had a dh flare on a day I ate the Erewhon rice crispy cereal and wondered if it was the iodide in the sea salt used in the product. I am new and learning.

Well come to find out the brand of papers he used WERE NOT gluten-free -

Do you have the name of the papers? I know a few folks round here who roll their own, and I believe one of them was supposed to be gluten-free. Might as well pass that on to him! :-)

This is an old thread. The original poster has not been on this board in well over a year. Information may be out of date.

      @knitty kitty Thank you for your response!!  So do you think my doctor might still diagnose celiac even with the negative biopsy?  At this point I'm just wondering like do I have to be super careful when I eat places for cross-contamination, or do I just have to eat gluten free and not worry about the damage so much as the symptoms, you know?  Like with celiac I know my body is attacking itself and doing damage (although apparently not haha) and with an intolerance it certainly doesn't feel good, but it's not doing the same kind of damage, you know? I sent a message to the doctor asking if I should do a video capsule endoscopy or if we should have a second opinion on the pathology but ugh, I just want a clear answer so whatever it is, I can move forward!!

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! Have you talked to your doctors and nutritionist about checking for nutritional deficiencies and supplementing with vitamins and minerals while you're healing?   Malabsorption caused by the inflammation and damage of celiac disease can deplete our stored vitamins, making us feel poorly the majority of the time.  The B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  If we're not able to absorb nutrients from food, taking a B Complex vitamin supplement can help immensely.  Do get checked for deficiencies before starting supplements.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.   Consider folliwing the Autoimmune Protocol diet to help your intestines heal.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine Vitamin B1, has been scientifically shown to promote intestinal healing.   Hope this helps and you feel better soon!  Keep us posted on your progress.

      @terrymouse, I agree that you may be suffering from nutritional deficiencies already.  Get tested for nutritional deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise the vitamins you're taking can mask a deficiency.   Symptoms that you have are similar to what I experienced with malabsorption of Celiac Disease.  I would lose my appetite; if I did eat, I got full quickly, and had nausea, dizziness, trouble digesting fats, abdominal pain, and heart palpitations.  I had unintentional weight loss.  I also had my gallbladder removed.  I was deficient in the essential nutrients, especially Thiamine and the other B vitamins. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace test.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms may appear first because our body can't store it for more than three weeks and our metabolic needs for Thiamine increase when we're physically sick or emotionally stressed, so we can become depleted quickly.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms include gallbladder problems and all the ones list above.  Thiamine and the other B vitamins are needed to digest our food and turn it into energy for our body to function.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.   Ask for a DNA test to check for any known genes for Celiac Disease.  You have to have at least one gene for celiac disease to develop.  You don't have to be eating gluten for a DNA test.  Your genes don't change.  If you don't have any celiac disease genes, you can focus on other reasons for your illness.  If you do have celiac disease genes, with your positive blood test results, you, your doctors and nutritionist can focus on correcting nutritional deficiencies which will help you heal and feel better.

      @Alibu, There may not be textbook intestinal damage in the early stage of Celiac Disease!!! Keep in mind that the endoscope used can only reach about a foot past the stomach, while the small intestines are twenty-two feet long!  Damage can be patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Early celiac disease may not show damage at all. Don't compare your tTg IgA numbers with others.  Every lab uses their own range values.  Tests from different labs are not using the same scale and shouldn't be compared with other people's numbers from a different lab.   You've got the Celiac genes and the positive antibody test and the EMA test.  Next step is a Gluten Free diet trial and look for improvement.  Celiac Disease can be diagnosed using genetic testing and response to a gluten free diet!  I'm seronegative, but DQ 2.5.  My doctors were clueless.  They didn't see any classic textbook damage, so didn't bother to biopsy.  Ack!    This study followed people who showed no or little damage at first....they accrued more damage.

      I was introduced to a new-to-me alcoholic beverage yesterday, a grapefruit radler. The bartender said it was sugar- and gluten-free and I trusted him. After I ordered a second drink, I had the good sense to look it up: it’s half beer! Usually wheat beer. BUT it gave me no symptoms—no bloating, fatigue, stool issues. Anyone else have this experience?
