Rash Possibly From Rice Chex, Or Corn Tortillas/chips

I posted a while ago asking if anyone had a reaction to corn tortillas. The last package of Mission tortillas I bought did not have the gluten free statement on the package. I also eat LaBanderita corn tortillas but cannot find on their website where it says gluten free. I have found many entries online stating that tortillas are processed on the same equipment at flour ones so they can't say gluten free exactly.

I broke out in the most horrible red blotchy rash and I think it might be from either the tortillas/chips or the gluten free rice chex cereal. Something has been off for a few months with me and I could not figure out what it was. My thyroid levels have drastically changed from being normal for about 1 -1/2 years. The connection to the cereal is that for the past few days I have become extremely itchy and have a red rash within an hour of eating the cereal. I only started eating this cereal around Aug/Sept wen I found out it was supposed to be safe. My thyroid levels changed since that time.

I googled "reaction to gluten free rice chex" and found many people have had bad reactions to it. I'm wondering if my body just finally could not take it anymore and finally broke out. I have been itchy for about a month or so and eat about 1 cup of rice chex every day.

Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem? Nothing else in my diet has changed, pretty much same foods every day. I don't eat out alot so I'm the one preparing the foods at home.

I have been gluten free for about 3 years and I know I did not buy the old boxes of cereal. I'm just wondering if we are getting cc'd even though these products are supposed to be gluten free.

For some strange reason - I don't know what, I can't eat Rice Chex. I think I might be allergic to the mold that comes from processing cereal. I have found ones with a shiny blue hue, which I think is mold. That however, is a guess. I was so excited to be able to eat it, and then I had allergic/gut symptoms. Now I love Nutty Rice, which to me is just as good and doesn't give me any symptoms.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
