Utz...

i've been feeling BEYOND horrible the past day or two...very dizzy and weak, skin on fire, feel numb...and the only thing i had was a couple of utz honey bbq chips

on the bag it said it's a gluten-free product, but then i go on the website and it says it isn't gluten-free on the chart....and the normal sized bags of it have wheat starch in them...i'm wondering if it could be cross contamination, or maybe the bag is mislabeled...i thought utz was reliable, but to have different bags of the same chip have one different ingredient is strange, and i can't see how the site data would be old or anything...anybody have a clue?

Hi,

Sorry you're so sick....Utz chips are not made on dedicated lines, and several here have reported having problems with them.

I reacted badly also after eating them.

yeah i was shocked to see wheat starch on the big bag version, and i thought maybe the tiny one was fine but if the site says that and it's the same lines, than yeah

I am sensitive to gluten and have honestly never had a problem with that brand

I have not had a problem with UTZ either, maybe the small bags are mislabeled....cause I remember picking up a small bag once and it did not say gluten free. Hope you feel better soon.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.
