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.

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
