Ate Gluten Free Chex, Now Throwing Up Blood?

Recommended Posts

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.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
