Has anyone had it? I bought 2 bags yesterday b/c it was on sale 2 for $8. I thought it tasted too good to be true, but then I'm not sure if my problem is from this. I ate quite a bit of it yesterday and started feeling like crap today and woke up with some minor discomfort in my abdominal area. I started devoloping a headace and just started feeling really tired and not wanting to do anything. It's almost like a gluten reaction, but without all the bloating and gas. I have had some problems with seeds and nuts in the past so I'm thinking this must be it, I cant have this stuff anymore :( I also have not been having a fun time going to the bathroom, It's not C but it just seems like it doesnt want to come out all at once, its like whenever I eat stuff like this it just sits in my colon

Can seeds/nuts cause headace and tiredness like gluten can??? I also am thinking maybe diverticulosis?? I went to the ER in the past for lower right abdominal pain ( which I get slightly in the same spot when I eat seeds/nuts), but the ER trip is when I ate wheat nuts- they couldnt give me an answer to my problem, other than they were ready to operate on my for apendicitis :blink: it def.wasn't that though as the pain went away...

I've also had pms for 3 weeks now :angry: , so maybe that is the prob- I can't tell anymore!!!!

I eat their products all the time and have had no problems gluten wise. I love their pnut butter and chocolate chip granola bars also.

Diverticulosis might cause some pain but generally it will be on the left side in the descending colon. That said it is not uncommon for those of us who have had problems with C to have the diverticuli spread out throughout the large intestine. These outcropping can apparently heal as mine after 5 years gluten free are now pretty much gone on last scope. If you have diverticulosis and the diverticuli (the outpouchings themselves) should happen to get inflammed you would feel extremely ill in additon to being in a great deal of pain. This would be an attack of diverticulitis and a medical emergency that you should get help for ASAP.

It used to be advised that those with diverticulosis avoid nuts and seeds because they could be an irritating but not all doctors agree on this.

I would be inclined to wonder if you have perhaps an allergy or an intolerance to something that is in the granola. That would be more likely to cause tiredness and a headache. Another possibility also since you mention you have been PMSing for three weeks is that you may have gluten sneaking in somewhere. It there anything you added to your personal products or your diet in the week before you started feeling yucchy?

Take complex vitamin B and magnesium for pms.

thanks for the info. I actually used to get the pain down the left side of my abdomonen (starting just below the rib and moving all the way down) it would get so bad that I would feel naucious and have to lay on my stomach. Now I only get the pain if I eat seeds/nuts, but nothing like when I have wheat.

As far as new foods, I could be feeling yucky b/c of processed foods. I told myself that I wasnt going to eat any for a while, but it is so tempting to buy them, especially now that I am working full time and look for easy things to bring to work. Generally I eat pretty good with lots of veggies/fruits and whole foods, but I did start introducing corn into my diet again, so that may be part of the main problem. I've tried tomato sauce on and off, it never works well with me either. It's almost impossible for me to avoid CC completely since I live with gluten eaters and work with people who snack by the computers and share the break room, but I am always washing my hands/cleaning things- I'm well aware of it. I don't seem to really have a major reaction until I ingest the actual gluten grains . If I am CC'd a lot I will sometimes get a migrane or slight headace, but if I actually eat gluten grains I start getting the major digestive problems. I just feel like I keep starting over. I think I have it down, but then it all comes back...what a learning process... <_<

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
