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.
