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:

Good afternoon Heidi and thank you for your email! Popcorn represents our company's only business and we take a great deal of pride in the products we produce and that leave our plant. 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.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues. The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves...

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem. Just a few other thoughts. I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, as an alternative to milk-based protein shakes, let me suggest whey protein. Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations...

      @knitty kitty are you kidding? I had no idea about the casein!! No one ever mentioned that to me at all!! I basically live off that milk! I have also wondered if I have Sjorgen's , but I haven't been to the doctor yet. Can you get the TTFD over the counter? I do have dysphasia and I have lysine I just haven't been good about taking it. I am so glad I found...

      @trents, Hi, thank you for the reply, I used to be pretty good at taking my vitamins and supplements, because I also have PCOS, I have Barrett's esophagus, it's just too expensive to have it stretched all the time, and I also get kinda panicked when trying to swallow pills because of getting choked a lot before. I think maybe the thrush made it worse, I...

      @Charlie1946, There are many vitamin deficiencies associated with PCOS and Celiac disease and mental health issues.  The malabsorption of nutrients caused by Celiac can exacerbate PCOS and mental health issues. Vitamin B 3 Niacin (the kind that causes flushing) improves sebaceous hyperplasia and PCOS. (300 mg/day) Vitamin B 1 Thiamine improves dysphagia, and with Omega Threes, Sjogren's, and PCOS.     (300 mg/day) The other B vitamins are needed as well because they all work together like an orchestra.   The fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, are needed as well.  Low Vitamin D is common in both PCOS and Celiac and depression.   Deficiencies in Niacin Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, Folate B 9, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D can cause mental health issues.   I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants.  My mental health issues didn't get better until my vitamin deficiencies were corrected and a gluten free keto/paleo diet adopted.   Though blood tests are not really accurate, you may want to get tested for deficiencies before supplementing, otherwise you'll be measuring the vitamins you've taken and blood tests will show blood levels that are too high. Yes, Thiamine TTFD and the other vitamins are available over-the-counter.  A B Complex with additional Thiamine TTFD and Niacin made a big difference to my health.  I follow a paleo diet, and make sure I get Omega Threes.  I took high dose Vitamin D to correct my deficiency there.   I've run through the mental health gamut if you would like to talk about your issues.  You can personal message us if you would be more comfortable.   Interesting Reading: Nutritional and herbal interventions for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS): a comprehensive review of dietary approaches, macronutrient impact, and herbal medicine in management https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12049039/

      Hi @Charlie1946 I am so sorry to hear you are suffering with this problem.   Just a few other thoughts.  I had debilitating anxiety prior to my diagnosis.  I was never admitted to a hospital but thankfully had a lot of support from friends and family, and found a couple of publications contained really helpful advice:  for depression, The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi, and for debilitating anxiety, At Last A Life by Paul David.  Both can be ordered online, there is also a website for the latter.  If you are deficient in or have low iron or B12 this can cause or worsen mental health issues.  I am sure my own issues were caused by long-term deficiencies.   If you can get your blood tested, it would be useful.  In the case of iron, make sure you only supplement if you have a deficiency, and levels can be monitored, as too much iron can be dangerous. If you have burning mouth issues, very bad TMJ or neuralgia,  I understand the pain can be managed by the use of a certain class of medication like amitriptyline, which is also used to treat depression.  But there again, it is possible with the correct diet and supplementation these issues might improve? I do hope that you find relief soon. Cristiana

Whey and casein are the two main proteins found in milk but whey doesn't cause issues like casein can for celiacs. Concerning your question about celiac safe mental health facilities, unfortunately, healthcare facilities in general do not have good reputations for being celiac safe. Most celiacs find that they need to depend on family members to advocate for them diligently or bring in food from the outside. Training of staff is inconsistent and there is the issue of turnover and also cross contamination.

I am so glad I found this group and all of you with all this helpful information!! I thought I was going crazy!!  I have sebaceous hyperplasia too- is that related to Celiac?  OH , and I wanted to ask if there is a site where I could find information on mental health issues , with celiac safe facilities??
