Contamination Maybe?

I'm fairly new to the gluten-free world, and doing well so far. However, last night I got home and my son was eating Tostitos bite size corn chips and salsa. I looked at the ingredients for both, and had some. Today, I had the big "D" twice, so I figure I must have gotten some gluten. The Tostitosd web site lists these chips as gluten-free. I suppose it could have been th salsa, but I eat the same salsa on eggs with no problem.

Anybody have experience with these chips?

Thanks

Walt

Did you have any dairy products since last night? I noticed during the first several months of my healing after going gluten free that I would get D whenever I would eat cheese. That still happens now, whenever I am accidentally glutened, but not when I haven't been.

Hi Walt

One question came to my mind, could your son have had something with gluten before he started eating the chips? I live on tostitoes scoops and salsa but have my own bag seperate from my kids just in case they ate a sandwhich etc and forgot to wash their hands before reaching into the bag. I also keep my own salsa because my kids will dip regular doritoes in the jar sometimes (they are 17, 20 and 22 so they easily forget about me when they are snacking so we have seperate containers for them and myself). Cross contamination happens pretty easy when you have family members still eating gluten...not sure if this is your case or not just a thought :)

Thanks for the ideas. I don't think it's dairy. I regularly eat cottage cheese and yogurt with no problems. It could very well be something my son ate before the chips. He is 17 and eats everything in sight.

Thanks

I also noticed that early on in my healing that there were times that I was just sick. I know that everything I had eaten was gluten-free. It took me a long time to heal enough that I did not have the D often (about 6 months). Hope you are feeling better. This also might be a good time to remind your family about cc and how sick it can make you.

      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.
