Wheat In Cashews? Huh?

Hey All:

Yesterday when I was grocery shopping I picked up a some generic Albertson's Brand "Cashews Halves and Pieces" because I read in some book on celiac disease that cashews were go for you.

I admit, I didn

The cashews are most likely processed at a plant that also processed product with wheat. Even though the nuts do not have any wheat, it's a CYA statement in case there is a cross contamination risk.

You may be very sensitive to gluten or perhaps it may be another intolerance. Other intolerances don't necessarily have to be forever though.

It's a tough world out there. Gotta be careful. ;)

I love "eating autopsy". That is exactly what we do!

Since I read that paper plates could be dusted with flour to keep them from sticking I figured everything could have been touched with gluten. One day we'll be dusted with flour when we walk into a store so we don't stick. Yep, gotta read those labels.

Don't believe everything you read. Paper plates are not dusted with flour. There is plenty of things to worry about, but paper plates are not one them.

dry roasted peanuts were bad because they used wheat in the roasting process, even if it didn

I have heard of some members here having difficulty with Canola Oil. Maybe not gluten, but still an issue.

Nuts sometimes have wheat or other things added as part of the coating on them that holds flavors. You can make your own flavored nuts by putting some plain nuts in a container with a little olive oil, plus some spices and shaking it up real good. Salt and garlic powder are nice. You can also roast them in an oven for a little bit or in a pan on the stove top. You can test your reaction to nuts by buying some plain nuts in the shell and eat them (after getting rid of the shell). Any kind of flavored/coated nuts you buy are suspect, so it's good to read the ingredients list.

Gotta watch the nuts at Costco too. Both the raw and the roasted have such disclaimers.

One thing that got me was the peanut oil. Or I should say got my daughter because she has the peanut allergy. When she was diagnosed, the Dr. told me to give her cashews instead. So I blindly bought some Planters cashews. In those days cross contamination never even crossed my mind.

One day it dawned on me that she was getting nosebleeds every time she ate the cashews. One sign that she has eaten peanuts or peanut oil is a nosebleed. And sure enough, there was peanut oil on the label.

Now I buy plain, raw, unsalted nuts from the health food store. I know those are safe.

Actually it is corn starch that paper products of all types are sometimes dusted with. And now they are even MAKING certain "biodegradable" paper plates and plastic utensils out of corn. If you don't have a problem with corn, it's kind of neat that they are doing this. Good for the environment.

But if you DO have a problem with corn, this whole world can be a nightmare.

Hi David,

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. I'm still a newbie at this gluten-free diet and celiac disease since I haven't been tested yet but I always get sick after eating anything that has wheat and some other things like lactose. I noticed that I got really sick yesterday when I had cashews and had been feeling so well after trying to be gluten-free lately so probably they were the cause. I also had a horrible reaction to one of the KIND bar granolas and even though they're gluten-free I cannot understand why or if possibly I'm allergic to flaxseed or something else. Sometimes I don't even know what to eat and what not to eat...its kind of frustrating.

good luck.

If you haven't been tested yet you should not be gluten free. If you have been gluten free get back on gluten ASAP otherwise your testing will be a false negative.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
