Utz Potatoe Chips....

I had a reaction to something and am still feeling it today..fatigue, dizzy, muscle pain, headache.

I am back tracking everything. Last night I tried some new Utz, natural preservative free potatoe chips (salt free). today I am feeling like I've been glutened or had soy. I don't think it has either one. It is cooked with cottenseed oil.

I've been pretty good on the diet.....just dealing with other health problems and trying to work out the diet.

the only other thing I had at the same time was salted pastachio nuts.

One of the two made me really sick.

thanks,

mel

Do any of their chips contain gluten? If so, maybe there was cross-contamination on the lines. Also, if the pastachio nuts were roasted there may be wheat on them, or maybe they were contaminated.

Hope you feel better soon.

I love the UTZ chips and never had a problem with them. Maybe there was cross contamination in the bag you had or maybe you reacted to something else in it.

I got sick off of pistachio nuts that I bought in the grocery store. I have since learned that they sometime flour the belts of the nut factories and sometimes spray them. I now get all my nuts from Nuts 4 U where they understand Celiac and even sell gluten free mixes. I was in an upscale restaurant and ordered a salad that had pistachio nuts on it and the chef said no way for the nuts. So my money is that the nuts made you ill not the Utz.

Utz site lists which are glutenfree.

I eat them like crazy when I am up north.

There should not have been an issue with them.

Mel,

You can check the Utz website at www.utzsnacks.com

If you click on the icon on the left "Utz Products" it will then come up with a listing you can click on for their gluten free products. I actually live 10 minutes from their huge plant. Their promotions coordinator's daughter was just recently diagnosed with celiac and at our last local celiac support group meeting, Utz sent 12 cases of gluten free chips and snacks for free! I highly support them and we buy alot of their chips.

I eat the UTZ salt free potato chips (regular) and I have never had any problem. I eat them daily.

Utz are the only brand you'll find in our house. ;) I wrote them about their new natural brand chips and salsa and he replied :

Our natural line of chips are gluten free. We do not make the salsa. It should be okay but I cannot guarantee it. Don

I then wrote about where their pretzels were manufactured as I worry about cross contamination and his reply was:

Dear Terri:

All our pretzels are manufactured at a dedicated bakery facility where only pretzels are produced.

Thanks for all the Utz info! I can't wait to snack on them later.

I am going to keep away from the pistachios....not only from a gluten standpoint but also because of bladder problems.

As for the sick feeling I was getting it seems that I am also relapsing with a virus that I had 2 weeks ago! Fever blisters are back on the lip today and I feel very achy and fluish. 2 weeks ago I had it with fever.......

when there is so much going on it is hard to tell what is coming from what.

this bug seems to be going around.

take care,

Well, I gotta wonder. I eat only the Utz that is listed as gluten free and doesn't list casein or milk products, since I am very senstive to gluten and casien both. I thought Uts were great, too. But there was this ONE bag, I swear it's the ONLY option for contamination. I got sick for two days. I'm now in the third day, and it's not a flu bug. I don't dare eat any more, and the only thing I can figure is some milk/casein got in with the barbeque chips. I get the same exact response from casien as gluten. Anyone else?

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
