Terra Chips

Does anyone else get sick from Terra Chips? I had them a couple years ago & got really sick (felt like I was glutened). I hadn't eaten them since until yesterday. I read the ingredients and figured I'd give them another try because they look to be completely gluten-free and I'm pretty sure others eat them. But lo and behold I got horribly sick again... like I was glutened.

Does this happen to anyone else? Maybe for whatever reason they just don't agree with me.

I just sent an email to them on Friday asking about their gluten free status. I like the "Taro" only chips (plain) and not the mixed bag of roots. Will let you know what they say.

      SSRI stopped working after gluten free diet due to Celiac diag

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Redlima! Not sure if this could relate to your issue but it is well-known by the celiac community that gluten has an opiate-like effect that causes some people to experience withdrawal symptoms upon going gluten free. This usually manifests itself within the first few weeks. So, I'm not sure that fits with your time frame. Also, I wonder if the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel since going gluten free and how that improves absorption of vitamins and minerals might have something to do with what you describe. It may have changed the way the SSRI was being metabolized or something. When you ask about the impact of CBT on mental health after going gluten free are you referring to the direct effect of CBT on mood or to coping with the social impact and lifestyle changes that celiac disease and having to eat gluten free inevitably brings?

      Biopsy confirmed no celiac, low gliadin igg but high gliadin iga?

      By Gliadingoaway · Posted

      Biopsy confirmed no celiac but I did have gastritis from h pylori. Gliadin IgG was low but Gliadin IgA was high. Anyone know if this gluten sensitivity is temporary and goes away as I recover from gastritis? I avoided gluten for awhile but wonder if I should go back to gluten over time. I did eat fried wings last week with gluten by accident and felt fine afterwards. Just wondering why gliadin iga is high

      SSRI stopped working after gluten free diet due to Celiac diag

      By Redlima · Posted

      I am  70+ male, diagnosed with Celiac last year. Within 6 months of eating no gluten, my SSRI stopped working. Actually, unclear that the SSRI stopped working, but depression and anxiety symptoms returned. I was 15+ years without depression and anxiety prior to Celiac diagnosis and diet change.  Doctor changed my crazy meds to an NDRI and am somewhat back to normal, whatever that means. I am new to this forum, and this may have been answered prior, but WHATS GOING ON!  Anyone have experience on needing to get some CBT to help deal with going Gluten Free! Does Cognitive Based Therapy help with Gluten Free diet psych effects? Cheers

      Thank you for the welcome and reply. The first test was tissue transglutaminase IGA and it was normal. The second test just simply says IGA and it was 638. You definitely answered my question, it sounds like im negative for celiac since the 1st test was normal, and that another condition has caused the abnormal result of the IGA. That's exactly what I was wondering. Im almost positive I have MS and I've read results are higher like that with early onset. Or it could be IBS. Hopefully the visit with the neurologist will give me even more answers and point to a final diagnosis. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply and for helping. Thank you so much!

      Welcome to the forum, @daniellelawson2011! First, we need to deal with terminology here. When you refer to the "ttg" test I take that to mean the ttg-iga. And when you refer to the "iga" test I take that to mean total iga since the magnitude of the score would suggest that. Total iga is not a test for celiac disease per se. It is run in order to check for iga deficiency. If you are iga deficient, then the ttg-iga and other iga tests that are specific for celiac disease will be abnormally low and this would potentially produce false negatives. You are not iga deficient but, rather, your total iga is abnormally high. This can suggest underlying health conditions, some of them can be serious in nature.  https://labs.selfdecode.com/blog/high-iga/ "High IgA usually points to chronic infections or inflammation, though many disorders can raise its levels. High IgA does not cause symptoms. People show symptoms from their underlying health problem." One thing I might add and that is you must have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months prior to the blood draw for antibody testing. Testing while on a gluten free or gluten reduced diet will not yield valid results. Also, here is a primer outlining the various antibody tests that can be ordered to check for celiac disease:
