So I fixed some Bobs Red Mill gluten-free Brownies and it said on the package as an option to add chocolate chips. I checked around and it looked like Hershey's Milk Chocolate Chips were okay so I added about 1/4 cup. I added a little cream cheese on top (yum...these were great) but within a few minutes I had the same stomach issues going on that I had before I went gluten-free. Any ideas? Were the chocolate chips a bad idea? I'm getting a little overwhelmed with what I can and can't eat...lol...I'm almost becoming afraid to eat! Any help would be appreciate~ thanks all! This site has become a real lifesaver!!!

Sounds more like it could have been the cream cheese. If you are new to a gluten free diet you should lay off the dairy and soy products so your intestines can heal.

Have you used the Brownie mix before with no issues? I say this because I don't tolerate BRM mixes. It is not that they have gluten but that I don't tolerate the sorghum flour that many of them contain.

Bob's Red Mill actually doesn't agree with me either! Except with me it makes my mouth burn, so I figure I'm allergic to something in it. I've used the bread mix and all purpose mix and both do it. Perhaps its the sorghum? I thought it might be the fava bean flour. I don't think I've ever eaten fava beans so I have no idea. I bought the pancake mix, which doesn't have fava bean flour so if I do ok with that then I know! Haven't made them yet though.

We haven't had a problem with BRM brownies...they just come out a bit too fudgy/chewy/not-cakelike. We don't like cake-like either, which we found Betty Crocker to be.

So yesterday I combined one package of BRM and one package of Betty Crocker added some extra chocolate chips -- came out just right.

I made some BRM and threw in some Nestles ChocoChips and didn't have a problem but everybody is different. I would not of been able to do the cream cheese and like someone else said it could of been something else in the mix.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
