Glutened...but By What?

Well, I tried a regular Reese's Peanut Butter cup today and about an hour after that my stomach got upset. That was the only new thing I have eaten today although I did let my little boy give me kisses on the lips (but his face had been wiped after a gluten-free dinner). My only question was whether or not I could get glutened by baby kisses when he eats normally at school all day and gluten-free at home.

I wish I could figure this out! It's so complicated!

We had a mystery glutening a couple weeks ago. It's so frustrating to try to figure it out! Especially if, like our son, the symptoms show up a few days later... :angry:

As for the Reese's, might be something else in there, but my son eats them without any problems - in fact, until two weeks ago I was happy to say it had been 2 years since a gluten incident.

Don't need details, just a possibility that the little goober brought you a stomach virus. Or you got one somewhere else.

It's possible but I had classic gluten symptoms, bloating, etc. Hmm. Maybe.

Peanut butter cups and reese's pieces used to get me pretty good (soy intolerance). Two of the few soy products I actually miss.

I think peanut butter cups have wheat flour as well.

The Reese's regular PB cups do not have flour. However, I think I saw that the special holiday shapes might. They make an Easter egg shape at Easter, etc

That would be news to me. Last time I checked Reese's they were gluten-free, but it has been a while.

Somebody posted in another thread that there is a new one that is not gluten-free. They couldn't remember the particulars.

I am one of those super sensitive celiacs, and I can't eat peanut butter cups. I got glutened by my daughter once when she just came home from dinner out and hadn't brushed her teeth yet. Generally when she brushed I was O.K., I would bet on the Reeses. Here is a blog on food allergies which talks about a study that says that after eating another meal you are safe.

They have one called "sticks" which have cookies in them much like a Kit Kat candy bar.

I'm sensitive as well and both myself and my daughter have had trouble with Reese's PB cups. My daughter is less sensitive to gluten than myself, and she has less trouble with them, however. Very mild reaction.

They don't have any added gluten, and they are on a gluten free line (last I talked to them), but they are still processed around other foods that use gluten, so CC happens periodically, I imagine.

I'd guess the Reese's before I'd guess the kisses.

I too have felt bad after eating a reese's peanut butter cup, I read the label the next time I was in grocery store, had a may contain wheat. Too bad cause I loved these chocolate bars.

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"
