David Sunflower Kernals Vs. gluten-free Honey Nut Chex

I made the mistake of trying two new things within 30 minutes of each other. I should have known better: Honey Nut Chex with 'Gluten Free' on the label; and David Sunflower Kernals (already shelled)- a ConAgra product with only oil and salt.

Two hours later I'm feeling glutened, which is the typical pattern, but I'm not sure which product to be leery of since I had them too close to each other. In either case I'm thinking it's CC, since neither had gluten-containing ingredients.

I don't have any other intolerances besides MSG - and this is not an MSG reaction.

Anyone react to either of the above products?

I can't eat the gluten-free chex. Others on here can't either, and they say GLUTEN FREE all over the boxes, but.......notsomuch.

I'm new to the gluten free diet, but I am thinking it might be cross contamination. I bought "gluten free" cookies the other day and did not read the labeling too well and found out later that the product may have been processed with wheat. I was annoyed when I read this and was mad at myself for not knowing better.

Companies should not be labeling their products "gluten free" if there is even the slightest chance there could be cross contamination.

If there had been no label saying "gluten free" then I probably would of double check more carefully I guess.

I find that for some reason the Honey Nut Chex don't agree with my stomach so well. I really don't think it's gluten though. For one, aren't the gluten-free chex products made in a gluten-free facility?

And two, it's been a consistant minor thing the few times I've eaten it. My wife eats it all the time, so we always have boxes of it, ie. I've tried it over a long period of time. If it was cross contamination, it wouldn't be a constant. That's the nature of cross contamination. It's either some, or more, or less, or none. But it can't be the same all the time.

I'm wondering if some of these reactions are to non-gluten intolerances. Perhaps to some of the other ingredients, or simply to highly refined products such as these.

I've tried all the gluten-free chex varieties, but mostly stick to the Corn Chex. Before they made it (corn chex) gluten-free, I ate Rice Chex for years. Every day with fresh blueberries and a little Truvia.

best regards, lm

We all eat Chex a lot and I haven't noticed any symptoms and I also recently had my bloodwork redone and my ttg iga was down from 88 to 9.

I just called General Mills and I'm waiting on a return call. I'll post the information when I get it.

Are you sure you don't have a problem with dairy? Have you tried drinking straight milk to see what the results are? Often people try the gluten free cereals and have a gluten-like reaction that actually turns out to be a dairy reaction. You can develop this at anytime, but many people notice it after going gluten free.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
