Name That Gluten!

My dd are sick today, and I'm trying to figure out just where the source of gluten came from. We've tried several new things this week, with school starting and all...and that always gets me. Anyway, here is the small list of new things we've had that may have glutened us.

Hershey's chocolate syrup

Pop Weaver microwave popcorn (from walmart)

Planters honey roasted peanuts

Dr. Pepper, cherry vanilla (we hardly ever drink soda, but I had a craving, lol)

It's been a bad week, we never eat this much new food, b/c I usually know better. Ugh, back to eating white rice and jello for a couple of days. I'm eliminating all of these things now, and my guess is the Hershey's syrup, what do you guys think?

I no longer use Hershey's Syrup, but it never glutened me.

How about the pop corn...was it labeled gluten free?

Some roasted peanuts do contain gluten, but I don't know which ones.

Planters is a Kraft brand. If there is gluten it will be clearly disclosed in the ingredient list.

Yeah, the more I think about it...I think it's the Hershey chocolate syrup. It may just be a trace amount, that has built up over the course of the week, and finally made us really sick today. Two days ago, I was getting heart palpitations, that is usually my first sign of a glutening, even before the stomach issues pop up.

My dd has been cranky and pale this week, but I just attributed it to school starting, until today. Darn, we were loving our chocolate almond milk in the morning. I bought the syrup for a special treat on the 1st day of school, and it's cheaper than buying the actual chocolate flavored almond milk. Oh well, that sure backfired on me!

I suspect it could be any or all of them! I have to be VERY careful with microwave popcorn. If the box says "manufactured in a facility that also processess......." then you have a cc problem. I wouldn't think it would be the syrup, but I can't do dairy anymore either, so it's been forever since having chocolate syrup.

We eat Hershey's chocolate syrup all the time and have never had a problem with it.

I vote for the syrup--I've reacted to it myself, and Hershey's is less than forthcoming on the source of their natural flavors. Sounds like it was a build-up of small amounts over the days.

I can relate to adding too many new things at once--that almost guarantees me a reaction.

Hope you both feel better soon :)

I doubt it is the pop weaver from Walmart. I wrote the company last month and this is the response:

We are very committed to bringing our customers the highest quality of popcorn at the most reasonable price and, we also want to produce products that meet the health concerns and needs of all of our customers. We continually search for ways to improve our products and always appreciate it when we hear from our customers! There is no wheat, barley, rye or oats gluten in any of our Pop Weaver Popcorn products or in the raw material ingredients. Thank you again for your inquiry and we hope you will continue to enjoy Pop Weaver Popcorn products. Have a good day! Shelli

Hope this helps!

ALL of these items are gluten-free. As for CC, always hard to say.

I have had Hershey twice this week with no problem at all, but everyone is different. I would think of the peanuts myself. I grabed a bag of sunflower seeds and it said right on it that they contained wheat. Go figure in sunflower seeds I never would of guessed.

      I just recently saw something on this. Has anyone tried test strips? Which brand is better? Not sure how they really work and if they really do work. Thank you, Nancy (aka Borky)

      Going for upper endoscopy today

      Hello @Midwesteaglesfan and welcome. A result greater than 10 U/mL is considered positive. Some labs use 15 as the cutoff, but 34 is in the positive. The endoscopy and biopsy is looking for damage to your small intestine. I don't don't think 5 days is enough to repair the damage. This comment is effectly your answer, regardless of your biopsy...

      Hello @Midwesteaglesfan and welcome. A result greater than 10 U/mL is considered positive. Some labs use 15 as the cutoff, but 34 is in the positive.  The endoscopy and biopsy is looking for damage to your small intestine.  I don't don't think 5 days is enough to repair the damage. This comment is effectly your answer, regardless of your biopsy results.  The endoscopy has been the Gold Standard diagnostic, and most healthcare providers won't diagnose celiac disease until your intestinal lining Marsh Score reaches stage 3. You don't really want to wait for the damage to get worse, especially since only five days mostly gluten free gave you relief.  Yes, migranes is one of the 200 symptoms that may be caused by Celiac Disease. Malabsorption Syndrome is often comorbid with celiac disease.  The western diet is deficient in many vitamins and minerals.  That's why gluten processed foods are fortified.  Gluten free processed foods are not; Vitamin D deficiency is a virtual given.  40 to 60% of the industrial population is deficient in vitamin D, Damage to the intestinal lining from celiac disease can decrease the number of vitamin D receptors.  So now you get no vitamin D from the sun (skin cancer scare) the major source of vitamin D, plus absorbtion from food is poor because of intestinal damage.   Low iodine intake is getting more of a concern because the major source of iodine used to be bread (dough conditioner with iodine was stopped in the US in the 1970s), dairy (lactose intolerance from eating quick pickles with vinegar instead of fermented pickles which supply lactase excreting lactobacillus to improve Lactose intolerance. Commercial Dairies have wheat, barley and rye added to the cow feed. Some say they are sensitive to milk protein, but it is the gluten added to supplement the cow feed to increase milk production that becomes part of the milk protein causing the problem.  And people use less iodized salt.  In the US intake of iodine dropped 50% from 1970 to 1984. Switch to Grass fed only milk and consider supplementing Liquid Iodine drops to your diet.  The omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of commercial milk is 5:1; Organic milk is 3:1 and grass fed milk is 1:1. The typical western diet is around 14:1, optimum for humans is 1:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1 omega 6:3.  Choose vegetables lower in omega 6, it is inflammatory. Eat fermented foods and switch to Grass fed only milk.  Some say they are sensitive to milk protein, but it is the gluten added to supplement the cow feed to increase milk production that becomes part of the milk protein.

      At 41 years old I have been fighting fatigue and joint pain for a couple months.  My family doctor kept saying nothing was wrong but I was insistent that I just didn’t feel right.  Finally after running several blood labs, one came back showing inflammation in my body and I was referred to a rheumatologist.  He was extremely thorough and sat with me and my family for a good hour asking questions and listening. He ordered X-rays of all my joints and more bloodwork.  He suspected some sort of reactive inflammatory arthritis.  My TTG (Tissue Transglutaminase) came back at 34. he told me to try going gluten free and out me on Salfasalzin to help the join inflammation.  Over the next couple days going gluten free and doing a lot of research and talking to people with celiacs,  we found that I should have an upper endoscopy for insurance purposes in the future.  I reached back out to my rheumatologist and expressed this concern and he got back to me stating I was correct and resume regular gluten diet and stop the medication until after that scope.     They were able to schedule me in for 2 days later.  I had been gluten free, or as close to it as I could be for about 5 days.  I know I ate some brats with it but wanted to use them up.  My symptoms had gotten slightly better in those 5 days.  I felt less fatigue and joint pain was slightly better(it had gotten really bad) so for these last 2 days I’ve gone crazy with wheat bread, pasta and such.  I’m hoping those 5 days didn’t screw this endoscopy up.  I can’t imagine after a life of gluten, my intestines healed in 5 days and after eating gluten again for these couple days,  my stomach hurts, joint pain is coming back up so I know the inflammation is there.   Hinesight after this diagnosis, I have had chronic migraines since my late teens.  Has that been a lingering symptom of celiacs all these years?  I’ve never really had the stomach issues, for me it came in heavy these last couple months as the fatigue, just always feeling tired and exhausted.  And the joint pain.     So getting in the car for the 2 hour drive to the hospital for this scope now.     Wish me luck!

      To play it safe, use Vasoline Lip Therapy. No questions as to it containing gluten.
