:huh:

Ok, so I'm a big nacho fan. I used to munch on Tostitos & Old El Paso salsa but didn't feel well, got headaches, and some stomach cramps. Today I tried the plain Rice Works chips with that Old El Paso salsa and same thing ! Rice Works are labelled gluten free & I've never had issues with them. I was under the impression that the salsa was safe...is it ? Anyone else had issues ???

I'm thinking it's CC maybe...all out gluten also gives me nausea in addition to stomach cramps. CC usually makes me very tired and headachy...and achy...that Tylenol won't touch. :( Oh, and acid reflux...ugh.

Old El Paso will clearly disclose any gluten source in the ingredients. I don't know if the salsa is gluten-free as I don't use it and so don't have a label to look at. CC is always a possibility, though.

Unfortunately, we all need to remember that not all of our symptoms come from gluten. You might have a digestive issue with corn (very common). I can eat corn in some forms and not in others. I am able to tolerate the Tostitos Gold, but not the others. I can't eat a ton, but I can eat a handful. The corn in the Gold chips are ground up super fine. Or, you might not be able to handle the acid in the salsa...just a thought.

I don't believe I have an issue with corn, I do eat it at other times with no issues. Does anyone know of a salsa brand I can trust ???? I'm in Canada.

Can you get La Victoria? It states right on the bottle gluten free. Also 505 salsa states the same. Hope that helps.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
