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.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.
