Cashews

Silly question coming. Any chance I had CC from cashews???? I ate some today and within 1 hour all my symptoms came back. My eczema, nausea, headache, my ears ringing. Cashews was the only different thing I had today. Any ideas??? Cause if it was not from cashews I have to find out what glutened me today, and I just have no idea.

Meline--

Unless you cracked them out of the shells, it's entirely possible. I was recently glutened by walnuts that used to be safe but are now processed on the same lines as wheat.

I was sick for 2 months before figuring it out and am still not feeling 100%.

It may indeed be cashew-related.

-Were the cashews dry roasted? Some dry-roasted nuts apparently use wheat in the processing, but it isn't an "ingredient".

-Do you have the package? Does it say anything about shared equipment or facilities with wheat?

-were they seasoned, and if so are the spices listed separately or is there one of those mystery terms like "spices" or "natural flavors" in the ingredient list? Either could be a tip-off to possible cc if the package doesn't otherwise say gluten-free someplace.

I used to react to nuts all the time until I started avoiding anything dry-roasted plus all the "processed on equipment shared with wheat" ones. We received one box of 'fancy' cashews as a gift (must be fancy if they come in a box, right?) that were processed on shared eqt, so they're all for the spouse!

Good luck recovering from the glutening (and figuring out its source!)

well they were in a bag that said "ingredients:cashews, oil" (a certain type of oil, but I don't know the translation in english) and yes they were dry roasted. Seasoned...?I think no....just salt...so you say that there was a chance.....It must be that....I am so so so careful.Any way I am feeling better now, I found out that driniking lots of water helps the healing from a good glutening.....But it makes me sad cause I still have accidents 2-3 times / month......

Thank you for the info.....I really had no idea that these things can harm us......

Even if the ingredients are gluten-free, they could have been processed on shared equipment with wheat. The only way to know for sure is to call the company. They don't have to list the CC warning on the bag--some companies do, but not all.

You see I was one of the "lukcy" ones that actually didn't have serious problem with gluten before diagnosis. My pain and my acne were because of lactose intolerance. When I was diagnosed, and stopped getting gluten, then every time I had an accident new symtpoms would appear, every time more severe (you know this happens a lot when you get rid of gluten and then have it back).

And I have to admit, I used to find funny all the posts that said "gluten free toothpaste, shampoo, cosmetics", or "they could have been processed on shared equipment with wheat"......I would say "come on....that is too much. NO one can have a problem with such a tiny amount of gluten".

Now I know the hard way that it is a fact. Thank you for the info jerseyangel. I will call the company.

Planters is a Kraft product -- can you buy this brand in Greece?

I spoke with one of their reps on the phone the other month and she said if wheat/gluten is present will be noted in the ingredients. Also if the factory lines are shared with other things will also note that (I mainly just see other tree nuts by the ingredients). I have had very little nuts/cashews since going gluten free but haven't had a problem yet with Planters.

Good Luck

:unsure: no.....never heard of that......We have Kraft products, but never seen Planters here.......I envy you so much!!! you have so many gluten-free products. Here no one has ever heard of celiac disease, and gluten-free products are so difficult to be found. Don't mention the labeling.....I guess a trip to US will feed me well!!!! :D lol...

Has anyone else been eating the cashews? Someone eating bread or any other gluten) and then dipping their hand in the cashew jar/can can easily CC the cashews.

Please forgive my ignorance...you mean that if someone who was eating bread / gluten JUST TOUCHED my cashews can CC them????

I would think that the only way that someone has CC my cashews is that this someone accidentaly has put some tiny pieces of bread in the jar with his hands and then I ate these pieces. Am I wrong??? is there a chance you can CC something only by touching it?????

Yes. If you have others in your home who are not gluten-free if they share your goodies ask them to wash their hands first or to pour out their own portion into a bowl.

Hi Meline,

besides the CC issues others mentioned there is a remote chance (knowing some of the other problems you have) that you could have a toxicity to cashews. Cashew nuts that have not been carefully roasted are highly toxic. They are in the same plant family as mango, and other more poisonous plants. If you've not had any trouble with them before then it should not be an issue. I ate them before and after being diagnosed. In some stores, its the only nut in small packages that does not have a wheat starch coating. In any case I hope you have no more problems from them.

take care

ken -- finally back in hawaii!

:huh: ok....thank you!!!! I didn't know that....

Hi Meline,

I'm sorry you're having trouble with cashews. I wish you could get your hands on some Planter's because I am HIGHLY sensitive and have been doing well with these for over a year now. If you can't find this, can you buy nuts in the shell? Almonds are yummy and walnuts and filberts, too! I love Greece- my father's family is Greek and live in Athens and Kalamata. My family speaks but I never learned- too busy learning my mother's French! Otherwise I would say "Kah-thee- neeth-ta" (I can't spell it!) to you.

I didn't believe either that one could have a reaction from such a small amount of gluten until I lived to tell the tale- it's unbelievable, isn't it?

Good luck; be well,

lisa

If dry roasting is a problem for some people, are we better off getting them raw and roasting and salting them ourselves? I've wondered this about almonds.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain.

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
