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

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.

      It's not allergies.   Segments of the protein in corn, yeast, and dairy resemble segments if the protein gluten.  Our antibodies get triggered on the segments no matter where they are from.  Then the antibodies get really confused and attack our own cells which have segments of the  protein gluten in the cell membrane.  Hense, Celiac is an autoimmune disease. Did you have a test for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)?   Symptoms of hypothyroidism can be very subtle in the early stages.

      All of my other labs are normal though, CBC, metabolic, dexa scan, vitamin levels, ema, giladin peptide igg iga, etc.  Could other allergies like corn or yeast raise this? Should I have allergy testing done for other things?

      @thejayland10, The fact that your tTg IgA is slightly elevated after ten years gluten free suggests there's something going on.  We want all the antibodies to go away.  As long as they are around, our body is in a state of inflammation that can have long term deleterious effects outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Have you had your thyroid checked recently?   Hashimoto's thyroiditis can raise tTg IgA antibodies without gluten. Maybe you're getting gluten in your diet or from shampoo/toiletries.  Maybe you've developed an intolerance to other foods, like dairy, oats, corn, or yeast.  One my vitamins used brewer's yeast for a B12 source which, of course, made me ill.  One really has to be a bit of a detective.   Do think about giving the AIP diet a try.  The AIP diet is strict at first, allowing the immune system to calm down.  Later more foods are added back in slowly, checking for possible reactions.

      I do not take medications and my vitamins are certified gluten-free. Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?>  Is it common for people to have slightly elevated ttg iga even when on gluten-free diet ?

      That may or may not be true, depending on what that one marker is. Can you ask him specifically what that one marker is and post back about it?
