Terra Chips, And What To Do About Symptoms?


krystal

Recommended Posts

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.

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.

      You had the wrong link to the menu, so I fixed that for you 😉. Trying to eat gluten-free at Chili's is risky due to cross-contamination, even if you go with items marked gluten-free on their menu. Every person with celiac disease has a different level of sensitivity, and you've not mentioned anything about your situation in that regard. Whenever I eat out I take GliadinX (a sponsor here), but of course, the best option would be to avoid eating out.

      She has had problems with constipation, they actually prescribed miralax for her but I have changed some other things about her diet that seemed to have helped, so I never gave it to her..but she still doesn’t always go daily

      @Nicbent35, are there any other symptoms besides altered mood when your daughter gets "glutened"? Behavior like that in children often belies physical discomfort of some kind. Does she complain of stomach aches? Is she constipated?
