Ate Gluten Free Chex, Now Throwing Up Blood?

Okay, so I think I jinxed myself. I was JUST on a forum about gluten-free Chex and said how I have never been sick from any.

Well, two hours later I am throwing up (gluten symptoms as well), and I am throwing up more than my chex... There are spots of blood all through-out it.

Is that normal at times to throw up blood? Or do I need to go to a doctor?

I started feeling a little funny after eating them, and looked up Chex on here. And it turns out that others had been sick from it.

Now, two hours after eating it, I am having my normal gluten symptoms, and also throwing up blood.

I contacted General Mills, and they said they are going to have someone look into it.

Just be careful.

The exp date on these was 07 JUN 2010 - So, just be careful of the Cinnamon Chex.

Sorry you're having trouble! Off topic, but I noticed your signature. Chebe makes a roll/breadstick mix that you add cheese to. They taste just like the breadsticks you mention. I bought it at Whole Foods.

I've been wanting to try that Chebe stuff! As for the sauce, I wouldn't chance it, you could make your own so easy!! Just open a small can of tomato sauce and add italian seasonings to your taste, like garlic, basil, oregano, parsley, etc, and let it simmer for a while to blend the flavors! You could evne add some dry red or white wine, adjust everything until you like it. Now I want breadsticks and sauce, thanks a lot!

Throwing up blood doesn't sound real normal to me. I think I ssw that in the Exorcist movie. Could be an ulcer? Probably ought to see a doc about it. If it is H pylori I think they have drugs for that now.

Oh man! I would see a doctor about that, just to be safe. Wonder what is up with Chex and why they are making so many sick? Perhaps more than 20ppm of gluten? That's what I think, after our experience. But maybe I'm just too cynical these days, after getting sick from products marked gluten free.

Believe it or not, I really like the Hunts spaghetti sauce in a can. It's gluten-free and yummy good with those things. Y'all need to stop talking about lasagne now, because I am starving!!!

I remember it as looking a lot like pea soup :P

Becci, I would give the doctor a call regarding the vomiting blood just to be on the safe side :)

If I continue, I will go. It feels like I also got something stuck in my throat. Feels like metal or glass or something. I checked the bowl I was eating out of, and it has no chips in it.

So I wonder if I got some kind of something from the Chex box as well? That could have been the cause of the blood.

Doctor, definitely go to the doctors..that is not normal. Thats pretty quick on the symptoms though, it takes a day for me to react.

I hope you feel better! B)

I would go to the ER. Throwing up blood is NOT normal and you need to get it checked out. Hope you're OK and even if it turns out to be just a gluten reaction, I hope you feel better soon.

I have been eating chex gluten-free cereal, cinnamon and chocolate, all this week and I have been fine.

I'm super sensitive and I have been eating them as well (though not the Cinnamon ones). I would strongly suggest you get to a Dr. You could simply have broken a blood vessel, or you could have torn something from vomiting and have internal bleeding. Better safe than sorry. I would not wait it out for something like that.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
