Hi everyone,

Before I give/dump these on a friend, I wanted to see what people thought about whether or not I should continue to consume this flax seed. I say continue because only today did I turn the package around and read (bought the FS before I was diagnosed). It says "manufactured in a facility that uses milk, soy and wheat products. Good manuf. practices are used to prevent introduction of these or any other unlabeled allergens in this product."

CYA. So probably I'm ok, no?

Thanks!

Maybe yes, maybe no - might be worth calling them up and seeing exactly where the wheat is. If it's the same line...could be more of an issue.

Based on my happened ot me, I'd say keep it, but stop eating it for a while, and then intro. it back in. If there's not change, the batch you have is fine. If they don't share lines, then it's more likely that future batches might be okay.

I used a different product of theirs, lots of their oils, and I had to dump my spectrum oils in the end, actually. I was using them fine, and then bought a new bottle for one of them. I didn't connect it at first to why I was feeling crummy all the time. Turns out their oil line processes unfiltered wheat germ oil on it, and because it's unfiltered, that ups the chances of intact gluten being in it.

So I made it through fine once, but not twice. We just gave away all of ours, because I didn't want to get sick, and if it got me once I figured the odds were not good, ya know?

Thank you Shauna! I'm on hold now....

UPDATE: I got the ole to be on the safe side routine...basically "if you have a severe wheat allergy...." don't consume them in other words! This is so frustrating! Where in the world can I buy gluten-free nuts and seeds in a brick and mortar store??

Nutsonline has a selection of Certified Gluten Free nuts, seeds, flours and candies.

I have used them and have not gotten sick.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Martha Mitchell · Posted

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Celiac getting dentures

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Chances of being coeliac

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.
