I am really sorry to hear that you werent doing so good on your Bday. I can understand though under the circumstances. Just try to relax as much as you can till you're feeling better.

As far as I know Lecithin is an oily substance derived from Soy (and maybe other sources? I'm not sure, usually it is from Soy). Are you sure there wasn't something else you may have eaten that would cause your distress? Sometimes the reaction could be delayed and it may have been something earlier in the day or even the day before. I do hope you are feeling better soon. :(

God bless,

Mariann

I would highly recommend that you see an allergist....

Many people with food allergies are also intolerant to corn. I am one of those people. It took me a long time to realize that I had to live without it.

I read in one of my gluten-free cookbooks that Lechitin can either be derived from soy or wheat and it is something that should be checked out before eating a product to be certain to avoid contamination. If that was the only iffy ingredient in the cereal you ate, and you began to feel ill a short while after eating it, that's probably the culprit. To be certain, you can always send an e-mail, call, or write the company and ask the source of the lechitin they use in their cereal.

Hope this helped

Lecithin is derived from soybeans, NOT wheat. It is gluten-free.

I bet cross-contamination was what caused you to get sick. From what I have heard, Frito-Lay is not a very good brand to buy if you have celiac disease. Apparently they once had a screw up where the wrong kind of chips got put in the wrong bags, and also run their products on the same lines. Any products that would normally be gluten-free may be contaminated by dust/ residue from other products.

-------------

From Karen on celiac disease Delphi forum (link in my sig):

This was on the Safety Alerts Newsletter. Seems that Frito-Lay failed to get the correct chips into the correct bags.

I wish someone told me this 5 years ago. My doctor (the one I trust) confirmed it yesterday.

I've gotten sick off of cocoa puffs too.......i believe that some of the early boxes of the new formula version could have some cross contamination factors...i just am steering clear of that until it's been on the market longer

I did some research for you... Don't know if you have secondary allergies to food like I do but it appears there are hidden things in this. Also it might be CC becace they make cherrios and they are made out of wheat if my memory is right. I can't do CORN, maybe you can. Here are a few problem ingredients I see. See below \/

modified corn starch -- caramel color -- wheat starch <OH MY, OUCH!!!

General Mills® Cocoa Puffs Cereal(bowl)

F25-2509209-5100

General Mills®

7/8 oz bowl Frosted corn puffs. With 8 essential vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients: sugar, corn meal, cocoa, canola and/or rice bran oil, corn syrup, corn starch, modified corn starch, cocoa processed with alkali, salt, calcium carbonate, fructose, beet powder and caramel color, trisodium phosphate, artificial flavor, zinc and iron (mineral nutrients), vitamin C (sodium ascorbate), a B vitamin (niacinamide), vitamin B6 ( pyridoxine hydrochloride), vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B1 (thiamin mononitrate), a B vitamin (folic acid), vitamin B12, wheat starch.

Open Original Shared Link Call them and give them a piece of your mind. I have been calling all different companies and telling them we aren't goning to eat their food anymore. It is the only way we will tell them we are mad as hell and were not gonna take it anymore.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
