Cross Contamination - 3 Musketeers?

ugh.

I just had my first full-blown attack of cramps and explosive D since going gluten-free.

It was a 3 Musketeers Bar, which is supposed to be gluten free.

They're off my safe list for good, but I'm wondering if anyone else had problems with these?

They were on a web list of foods that have tested positive for contamination, but the list was from back in 2002.

I had some bloating and mild D on two ocassions I ate them and couldn't rule anything else in. I had purchased it with coffee in the snack bar on campus , the 2 thing I can eat there- well just 1 now, coffee.

Thought maybe it was the coffee but i drink mine black & it doesn't happen when i drink coffee w/o the three musketeers. So yeah i had suspected something up or that i was just weird. (could be both :)

OMG I am sooo sick.

I'm right back where I started....

headache, hate the world, exhausted, explosive D, anger and depression

I can't believe I lived this way for so long...but now that I know what it's like to not be like this it makes it much harder to bear.

all this from only trace amounts? this is crazy. I want to jump off a cliff :(

henny,

I'm sorry you are so sick and I have no good advice- I rarely eat anything processed other than Tinkyada pasta or Larabars. I was thinking of trying a 3 musketeer bar soon and you are making me rethink that decision.

Please feel well soon!

No problems here. I munch on them at work. BUT I haven't worked out my level of sensitivity to gluten nor milk yet though. Right now I think the dairy is just as much of a culprit as the gluten so sometimes it's hard to tell. Hope you feel better soon!

Considering you haven't been gluten free very long, it may be that your body is still healing and having trouble processing even safe foods.

thanks guys

I'm feeling much better this evening.

truthfully I shouldnt be eating that sort of junk anyway *blush*

what a bizarre experience. It was more than just a physical return to previous symptoms, but mental/emotional regression as well. The blurred thinking, anger, and depression came right back too.

And the headache! UGH! I haven't had that headache since going gluten-free but had suffered it nearly every day for the past 15 years before.

It could have been a coincidence, you are right. My husband is not gluten free, so there are sources of CC in my kitchen that could have caused it. The candy being the source was on my mind because it's the first 'new' food I have tried since going gluten-free. I may have been too quick to blame it.

Never ever apologize for eating chocolate ;) Glad you're feeling better. Hope it was kitchen CC and the 3 Musketeers are OK.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      I'm really confused. I've struggled with pain in right side of abdomen, head fog, nausea, acid reflix etc and have attended A&E on several occasions with no cause found (normal ultrasounds and CT). My GP ordered bloods. TTG was 87.4 so I was referred for endoscopy. Endoscopy was very traumatic but seemed worth it to have diagnosis confirmed. Results...

      Do Antibiotics in Babies Increase Celiac Disease Risk Later in Life? (+Video)

      A high C4c usually points to activation of the complement system, which is part of the immune response, but it is not specific to celiac disease by itself. It can sometimes be elevated with inflammation, infection, autoimmune activity, or other immune-system issues, so the meaning really depends on the full lab panel, symptoms, and why the test was ordered...

      Having issues with chips

      Do you have any issues when you eat corn? It seems unlikely that two different corn tortilla chips that are marked as gluten-free would contain gluten. Have you eaten either of these in the past without issues, or is this reaction just on a recent bag?

      Having issues with chips

      When I get gluten sick I get pain in my stomach, exhaustion, migraines/headaches, pain in my gums. The same is happening after I eat those chips. The Gluten Assist enzymes are giving me relief. They were what stopped the vomiting yesterday.

      Do Antibiotics in Babies Increase Celiac Disease Risk Later in Life? (+Video)

      A quick Internet search produced this result: "C4C refers to complement component 4, a protein in the blood that plays a role in the immune system. It is measured to assess immune function and can indicate various health conditions, including autoimmune diseases and infections." How old is your son? Has he been diagnosed with celiac disease, which...

My GP ordered bloods.  TTG was 87.4 so I was referred for endoscopy.  Endoscopy was very traumatic but seemed worth it to have diagnosis confirmed.  Results have returned saying everything looks normal (7 biopsies taken) but they have arranged a repeat endoscopy to look at other areas of the bowel.  I really dont think I can go through the wait and traumatic ordeal again.  Is it likely I'm coeliac or not.  I was expecting confirmation but have been left more confused than ever.

      It certainly is possible that you have other food allergies/sensitivities in addition to gluten. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common ones seem to be dairy, oats, soy, corn and eggs. How do you distinguish gluten-caused sickness from other causes of sickness? For you, does getting "gluten sick" really different than illness caused by other things?

      Is anyone having issues with Santitas tortilla chips? They say gluten free, but I got vomiting sick after eating them. I also got gluten sick from eating Siete's certified gluten free serrano sea salt and vinegar chips. Is this possible or am I allergic to something else? I have been taking Gluten Assist enzymes and it is helping a lot, so I really think it is gluten.
