Terra Chips, And What To Do About Symptoms?

I am a newbie at this. I have no formal diagnosis, but I'm quite sure gluten is my problem. I have re-started going gluten-free STRICTLY, and have felt pretty good for the first time in a long time.

Today I was out shopping ALL DAY, and grabbed these as a snack: Open Original Shared Link

I know everything else that I ate today was gluten-free because it was whole food.

Now I am suffering.

The bag didn't say it contained wheat, nor did it say "gluten free". I saw a post where someone emailed the company, and they said all of their ingredients were gluten free.

Do you find that there are products that say that, but make you sick? Is it something else in it that might be making me feel this way? I don't know if I have allergies to other foods, so I'm not sure what to do (other than not eat them again).

Do any of the ingredients in this sound suspect?

THanks for helping.

The only suspicious-looking ingredients are:

"natural worcestershire flavor [natural flavor (with organic tamari soy sauce powder (soybeans, rice flour, rice maltodextrin , salt, soy lecithin)"

Although this should be all right because the soy sauce is tamari, anything with "natural flavor" is always something I am suspicious of. Have you ever reacted to soy before? A lot of us have problems with it, and I would certainly not eat this product.

I have to avoid the original flavor Terra chips and all of the flavored chips because of the umbelliferous vegetables/herbs (parsnips, celery, dill, parsley), but I can handle the plain sweet potato, sweet potato and beets, "red, stripes, & blues" and the plain blue potato chips. There are VERY few processed foods that my digestive system can tolerate... so I think they're pretty safe! :)

I have been o.k. with the sweet potato chips as well. I always avoid snacks that have flavorings and spices...for some reason spices either give me heartburn or horrible G.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
