Okay ... I am so so angry with myself!............

After being knocked off my feet for 4 days after accidental ingestion..(soy)

I have not been able to face food , till today, I was ever so careful, just eating salmon, and salad,

but later tonight I got a bit hungry , and thought.. ahhhh I have some rice crackers in the cupboard, that will fill the hunger. I had eaten rice crackers before, but this was a different brand...

I checked the front of the pack that was labeled all over it , "gluten free"

Thinking that "original plain rice crackers",wouldn't have any hiden ingredients I didn't read the pack...

30 minutes later, the punching fight inside my stomach started, grumbling and murmering....I thought yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... and ran for the pack to see what on earth would be in original rice crackers

there it was............rice flour, seasoning powder,soy sauce powder (contains soy,hydrolysed wheat flavour enhancers)

I am just posting this as a warning to others!.........I guess noone else would be as stupid as I was...

and trusted that rice crackers with gluten free written all over it would be fine!

The brand of the crackers is "FANTASTIC"

I will never ever eat a dang rice cracker again after this.............If I wake up with gluten head again tomorrow... because of this... I am not going to be happy!....I've just endured 4 days now looks like I will have endure more........I was so careful but nor careful enough and fell sucker to what I believed was safe!

This was in another post , but thought I would add it to this....

AS WARNING!!!!...............

Gluten Free Snacks - Fantastic Rice Crackers Original 100g (A ... Fantastic Rice Crackers Original 100g (A) Gluten Free Gluten Free Snacks -

how could it be gluten free?

Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein - A protein from wheat which has been turned partly into water through hydrolysis. Proteins are the nitrogen carrying constituents of living cells. Protein treatments are said to be beneficial to hair and skin.

So really hydrolyzed wheat is an extract from wheat?

This is so wrong!....

The way they misrepresent, Wheat =gluten

Well that's what I was lead to believe?.....

So they call a wheat product another name?... and it changes it from having gluten or other reactive substances?

I live in Australia and I really thought they were quite stringent on labeling, apparently they aren't?

and I just found this statement from Fantastic snacks

      Blood results

      That is more than 10x the standard range, so a strong positive. In the UK for children and adults under the age of 55, at least 10x the standard range is sufficient to be diagnosed without having an endoscopy. The NICE guidelines are are different for children in that a referral to a gastroenterologist is also recommended for diagnosis. https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/how-to-test/ https://www.coeliac.org.uk/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/diagnosis-in-children/

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      Welcome, @annamarie6655, I followed the AIP diet, too.  It allows the intestines time to heal.  I still avoid a lot of processed foods.  Once you get used to eating whole foods, they taste better than processed foods. I couldn't eat pepperoni without becoming ill.  Pepperoni is a processed meat that uses "meat glue" to hold its shape.  "Meat glue" is microbial transglutaminase produced by microbes in a lab.  Transglutaminase produced by microbes works the same in our bodies as tissue transglutaminase, which causes inflammation.  Remember those antibody blood tests, tTg IgA and tTg IgG?  They test for tissue transglutaminase produced by the body in response to gluten.  The microbial transglutaminase provokes the same response in our bodies as if exposed to gluten.  Best to avoid processed meat products like formed chicken nuggets, luncheon meats, formed hams, sausage, etc.   Best wishes.

      How to work through food paranoia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the tribe! Do discuss the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne) with your dietician.  The AIP diet helps while the intestines are healing, lowering potential to develop other food sensitivities.  Be sure to discuss supplementing with vitamins and minerals.  Damaged intestines don't absorb essential nutrients well.  Supplementing while healing boosts absorption and provides vitamins needed for repair.

      Having the will to be healthy but not the willpower

      This is not a weakness.  It is a serious threat to your health.  I once read an interview with a representitive of a large company.  He proudly stated that his wheat based product is more addictive than potato chips.  The other issue is cultural.   Perhaps this book will help Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together.  It is published here on Celiac.com free to read.  Chapter 1 starts here Gluten-Centric Culture: The Commensality Conundrum - Chapter 1 - Are You Kidding? At first I ate anything, regardless of nutritional value. Fritos, M&M Peanuts, potato chips, fruit, steak; anything else. Like most habits, it takes about thirty days create the gluten free habit. Pretend you've moved to another country where the food is entirely different.  Don't try to recreate your old diet based from commercial gluten free foods.  Gluten free foods are not fortified, so be aware of vitamins and mineral intake, especially vitamin D.  Vitamin D deficiency is practically a given.  You probably already have deficits from the malabsorption caused by villi damage. Some symptoms respond immediately, others take time to heal.  I counted 19 different symptoms that got better.  Some, like permanent stuffed nose, I was told was normal for some people.
