Lundberg Rice Cakes, Or Something Making Me Sick?

I am one of the more sensitive celiacs, and lately I have been feeling half awful, half fine, and suspect very minor glutening - but from what??

Constantly tired or lightheaded, periodic stomach distress, period shaking super-sick sensation that passes quickly, can't seem to tell when I'm hungry or full, and generally feel like I have a head cold (but without a fever, cough, or nose problems)

There are only a few new things in my life :

1. Lundberg Rice Cakes..!

Not a dedicated brand. A few of their gluten-free products are contaminated.. but I heard the rice cakes were safe.

Has anyone had a reaction them, or know know whether or not they are processed on dedicated equipment?

--

2. Big e low brand tea - Stopped drinking the day before symptoms spiked, not a dedicated line

3. Feria hair color or conditioner - Gluten free sub-brand, but nothing is stated about potential CC on their equipment (use made me feel very lightheaded)

---

3. Lemon, leeks, cabbage, garlic.. Stir fry the night I started feeling bad (but I don't know how this could cause these symptoms? CC? intolerance/allergy?)

4. Folgers coffee - recently added back to my diet.

5. Clean & Clear deep cleansing astringent - pink liquid acne stuff

6. Lundberg Rice - (just rice) never reacted before..?

Wow, I thought Lundbergh was a dedicated company- yikes, that's a bummer. Sorry you are not feeling well. I might lay off the cabbage if my intestines hurt. Just in a roughage kind of way...

Whenever I'm feeling glutened I return to ONLY known foods. Then, I add ONE new thing in over a LONG period of time (weeks) to check my reactions.

I don't think I'm much help- others will post, I hope!

Feel better!

I've only heard good things about Lundberg . . . but maybe somebody else has had a similar experience as you. I think you're fortunate that you truly have just a few items that are new. I think Lisa has the right idea and remove them all and try one at a time.

Lundberg no longer makes anything that isn't gluten-free. They specifically reformatted some of their products which had barley malt in them to be gluten-free. Unless you are developing a rice intolerance, I would suspect other things long before Lundberg.

I get Celiac like reactions from bell peppers, eggs and pears. I second the idea of simplify, then add things back one by one.

I got sick from Lundberg rice crackers, but I read here somewhere that they are made on a nondedicated line and everything else is made on a dedicated line. I have heard that citrus is sometimes coated with that wheat containing shelf life extender. I have nothing to back it up, just rumor, but maybe that was it. Were the lemons peeled?

The lemon was neither peeled, or washed..!

It was in fact not gluten, but potatoes, making me ill (for once)!

I re-read the label on Bob's Red Mill gluten-free corn muffin mix. I could have sworn they were potato-free last time I checked.

Glad you figured it out!

Last time I called Lundberg (6 months ago?) they told me the only product not dedicated were there rice chips (like the Santa Fe BBQ and others). They are outsourced to a different co for processing. :( I love them.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
