: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.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
