Reaction To "kettle Valley" Real Fruit Snack?


raen

Recommended Posts

these bars are labeled gluten-free and generally praised by parents of kids with all sorts of allergies.. but i think theyre giving me a "soy reaction" or maybe even glutening me!

i was pretty much fine, until i added three things to my diet - utz chips (on occasion), onions & glaric (on occasion) and Kettle Valley snack leathers (daily!)

i was also eating some corn products and rice products, so i took those out of my diet days ago, and i have actually gotten worse, rather than better, and i ate MORE snack bars than before. it lists "natural flavor" and "natural color" which set off allarms.. but i can only find is praise online. does anyone else have complaints??

I can't speak about the fruit snacks, but I had a bad reaction to Utz Chips--the plain flavor marked gluten-free. Just wanted to let you know.

UTZ potato chips = horrible things to my body.

I made a thread about it in the products forum. I emailed them and posted both the email and response.

I would recommend removing them from your diet and seeing if you feel better.

ehg, well that stinks. the only other gluten-free chips i know of are kettle brand, are those safe?

I'm pretty sensitive so I stick with either Stax Plain or Mission Corn Chips.

what are "Stax Plain"? if you mean lays.. as i mentioned, i have a severe soy allergy and those chips would make me very sick. they also contain some of those nasty big/non-food words that send up a red flag for anyone with a sensitive stomach.

isn't there anything healthy, soy free, dairy free, and gluten free in potato chip form?

not corn chips.. i think i have some kind of vitamin deficiency from celiac, because i crave potato products.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
