Pistachios

Hi,

This week, I picked up a bag of salted pistachio nuts at the grocery store. Today, I decided to take a bunch to school as a snack. I ate many of them this morning and as it progressed I started to feel more and more crappy, stomach started aching, vision went very unfocused, and i was making many spelling mistakes in my notes this afternoon. It dawned on me that there could have been hidden gluten in the salting on the pistachios (you know that white powder coating). Of course, I've also got a cold so havn't been feeling well all week. However, so far my stomach has been fine and I havn't had too much trouble concentrating. It's one of the only "oh poop I glutened myself moments" in over a month.

I checked the bag when I got home today and there is no extra labeling information. Just Pistachios. nothing about the salt or anything.

So, has anyone else ever had problems with them? If so, what should I look out for the next time I want to buy these tasty nuts?

thanks

Peggy

Sorry that you're not feeling well.

Wheat, by law, must be listed is used as an ingredient. I think it's doubtful that it would exist on the nuts. But you may inquire with the company to see if they also process wheat products in their manufacturing facility.

I agree with Momma Goose, it's unlikely.

Nuts are quite difficult to digest to begin with due to their high fat content and fiber. Do you have issues with other nuts or legumes?

I would contact the company to see if the nuts are processed on equipment that also processes gluten. Barring that, it could be the nuts themselves that are bothering you. Sometimes these things take a bit of detective work ;)

Or you are just allergic to pistachios. I found out I am.

It is not unheard of to discover other sensitivities once you are gluten-free.

Good luck!

MSG? It is used on lots of Planter's products.

I had some bloating and a lot of gas after eating salted pistachios, but then I got crazy and ate half the bag. And a bunch of peanuts to boot. I'd say go easier on the nuts. Mine came from Trader Joes, which includes them on its "no gluten ingredients" list.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
