Perky's Cereal And Bakery On Main. Don't Feel Well. Please Help!

I am really trying to stay away from Gluten and I am analyzing everything I eat. Yesterday I felt fine until I ate Perky's Nutty Flax cereal (which I really don't think bothers me) and then had a granola bar .

It was Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip by Bakery on Main. I see many other people feel this product is safe and they do well with it. I on the otherhand got a headache, sleepy, and have several symptoms today. Does ANYONE have ANY IDEA WHY this would bother me? I can't see any ingredients that stand out and I simply don't know what it could be. ANY thoughts would be appreciated!!!

What else did you eat yesterday? Or the day before that? Sometimes the reaction is delayed.

The last I checked, Bakery on Main ran their gluten-free granola on the same lines as their regular. They do have good cleaning practices in place, and run a lot of the gluten-free at once. Perhaps you still got a package that was cross contaminated?

I've not tried the Bakery on Main bars, but I tried one of their granolas and didn't like it. It was a while back, so I don't remember if it made me sick or not.

But, what Patti said goes for Perky's, too. Perky's makes me feel really gross for a couple hours... blech!

Some people tolerate trace gluten better than others. I can't eat either of the products you mentioned without getting symptoms.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      Thank you. I have been baking and eating bread daily since I got back from Europe. Even making Whole Wheat bread and having a couple slices a day, so my test should be pretty accurate if it is the Gluten.

They are very painful sores in the mouth.The dentist there told me I should get tested for celiac disease as she said there is a strong correlation between the two. I also had stomach issues. I had an endoscopy and it confirmed I have celiac disease. I have...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      The type of wheat does not matter for the test--all wheat contains gluten. You need to eat lots of wheat daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @GlutenFreeChef! Your question begs an ongoing controversy in the celiac community and you are likely to get a variety of answers from different responders. It is true that we have gotten numerous posts from celiacs traveling in Europe who state that they could eat wheat products there without getting a celiac reaction. This does not mean that the leadership of this online community has signed off on the safety of consuming wheat products originating from Europe. It must be remembered that these are anecdotal accounts as opposed to research-based, meaning it has not been studied in a formal, controlled way. As you state, one would think gluten is gluten no matter where the grain source is cultivated. Or, in reality, perhaps there is a difference we have not quantified yet. We do know that in some European countries, the wheat used in baking tends to be derived from heirloom stock rather than the oft-hybridized varieties grown in the US. Incidentally, we sometimes get anecdotal reports from forum posters that they were able to consume sourdough bread products without issue. But again, these are anecdotal reports and the leadership of this online community does not endorse this as a safe practice for celiacs in general.  But I can address the idea that glyphosate/pesticides idea as being the key to why some celiacs cannot tolerate wheat products made in the US but tolerate those made in Europe: https://www.eufic.org/en/food-production/article/is-glyphosate-banned-in-the-eu-due-to-its-harmful-effect-or-not https://theconversation.com/our-study-analysed-pesticide-use-and-residues-across-europe-heres-what-we-found-264907 My point is, glyphosate and pesticides are still used in European agriculture so that cannot explain the differential experience you and others have had when consuming European wheat products vs. US wheat products. But that does not mean we are dismissing the concerns over glyphosate and pesticide use in agriculture in relation to celiac disease as being a factor in the development of the disease in the first place.

      The type of wheat does not matter for the test--all wheat contains gluten. You need to eat lots of wheat daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood test. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
