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


NOT-IN-2gluten

Recommended Posts

NOT-IN-2gluten Rookie

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.

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/
