Glutino Products : Reaction?

[raisin]

It seems like every time I eat a seemingly-safe Glutino brand item, i start feeling sick. Their bread, cereal, and everything else sets me off. They have soy in many of their products, but I don't buy those, and I don't react to trace amounts of dairy so it's unlikely for soy.

Does anyone else have a reaction to their products? What causes the reaction?

I've never had a problem with Glutino products. Although they are not my favorites it's often all we can get in Hawaii.

Have you made sure there are no cross contamination issues with ovens or toasters?

Yes, I have a 100% gluten-free kitchen, even my paper towels are gluten-free. There is no chance for CC in my toaster or oven, and their cereal also makes me feel bad.

We have been using many Glutino products for years now, and I never have had a problem with any of them.

You might want to check their allergen chart and see if you can find a pattern. You might be sensitive to one of the ingredients. Open Original Shared Link

Thank you, but that was the first thing I checked, and it was not the problem.

Is it possible that you are sensitive to corn / cornstarch? Glutino bagels and all of their bakery products contain corn in some form. Corn gives me a very similar reaction to glutening (not always digestive issues), so in the beginning of my gluten-free diet I thought I was getting glutened a lot, until I excluded corn from my diet.

[raisin]

Someone suggested that to me months ago, when I first noticed reactions to Glutino products, but I am positive corn does not bother me; I can eat it in any form, even bake things from corn flour myself. I'm also not allergic to rice, and I am not positive I have a soy allergy (just avoid it to be safe).

A shot in the dark, but what about xantham or guar gums? It took me months to finally nail down that xantham gum is a problem for me.

I don't react to Bob's Red Mill gluten-free corn muffin mix, which contains that, so couldn't be.

This is my least favorite answer - you may just not know what or why.

There is one brand of gluten free products that I repeatedly got sick from, even though everyone else did fine, and their products were truly gluten free. I was never able to isolate the ingredient, as I ate other products with those ingredients, and was perfectly fine.

I have issues with a particular ice cream brand - all of them - but its not gluten.

These are both brands that don't regularly have complaints. Interestingly, some of the companies that people often have issues with - I never do.

Still don't know what it is - I just had to quit eating those products/brands.

Sadly, I think you must be right.

I can't think of any explanation. I even emailed the,m to be sure they are a genuinely gluten-free dedicated line. Guess I just can't have Glutino.

Not just a dedicated line, but the entire plant is gluten-free. I have met the owner and president, Steven Singer (ssinger at glutino.com), and he is dedicated to serving us, and to getting his products into mainstream grocery stores.

I don't know the answer, but if those products don't agree with you, then don't eat them.

I'm so glad it's not just me! Fairly recently, I started to notice I would be horribly sick in the morning after eating a bagel for breakfast. I would be even more sick after I'd had one for dinner and then again for breakfast (I tend to eat a lot of the same things). At first it was a fairly mild nausea and I chalked it up to my Celiac morning sickness (which has not gone away despite the diet, to my chagrin). But when it went from mild nausea to painful cramping, I knew it must have been something I'd eaten. I noticed the symptom was a lot like when I'd eat home-made chocolate chip cookies. Those are gluten-free!

A poster above suggested Xanthan Gum as the culprit. I do use Xanthan Gum in my chocolate chip cookies, but my mother also uses it in her chocolate cake, and I use it in oatmeal cookies - so far no reaction.

I don't know what the deal is, but I had to give up all my cinnamon/sugar breakfast bagels to my mother who can tolerate them.

I love the taste of the Glutino crackers, but they don't seem to agree with me.

I believe I've been reacting to Glutino pop tarts. I get panicked within an hour of eating them.
