Is This Normal

I am new to all of this. I have been gluten free for just over a week now. I did bc I have various issues that always arise and when researching all can be linked to gluten. After day 2 I felt horrible but after that have felt better than ever. Well today I had a taco from Moes and about 4 chips. On they way home I started feeling really bad achy almost and wanted to throw up my food. I read on here that the chips and shells may have been contaminated. Would I seriously get this bad of a reaction after only a week? I have been a HUGE bread eater all of my life and was really hoping I could still eat some gluten. Is this normal or am I just crazy? I am starting to feel a little better but never want to eat a taco there again!

Well tacos are pretty greasy, which can upset a damaged digestive system. Since you've just started, I would suggest staying away from restaurants until you have a gluten-free routine down. If it makes you feel any better, my body reacted oddly during my first week as well. Just give it time and stick to foods that you know for sure are gluten free :)

It sounds like you probably got glutened from Moe's. A lot of us react very strongly to small amounts of gluten after being gluten free. The last I checked, Moe's chips were listed as made from flour tortillas and not safe for celiacs, although maybe they changed their ingredients.

Moe's tacos are not gluten-free. They fry them in a shared fryer with gluten foods. They have gluten-free info on their website and tacos and chips are not on the list of safe foods.

You really have to research before you go anywhere, never assuming that because a food seems gluten-free, then it is. McDonald's, for example, has gluten in their fries. Taco Bell has it in all items on the menu but the mexican rice. Some places but gluten in their beef patties, and so on.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By RMJ · Posted

      I noticed that too! I emailed them to ask if this had always been the case and the labeling changed, or if the manufacturing had changed.  Their answer unfortunately didn’t answer my question. The organization (GFFP) they use to certify only requires ONE test per product! Product must test less than 5ppm gluten, so that is good. I can’t tell from their website if they actually audit the manufacturing facilities like GFCO does. GFFP certification I’ve decided to go to Tierra Farm for nuts.  They are certified by GFCO, which uses a 10ppm standard, but they require more than one lot to be tested, they do audits of manufacturing facilities, and their detailed requirements are available on their website. Unfortunately Tierra Farm nuts are expensive.They have all three nuts/seeds that you mentioned. Their packaging says gluten free facility. GFCO certification

      is equate menstrual complete gluten free?

      A combination of Thiamine B 1, Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12 relieve pain.   Takeda ALINAMIN EX Plus Vitamin B1 B6 B12 Health Supplementary from Japan  is the brand I get for a convenient, all-in-one pill.  However separate vitamin supplements of each if the three vitamins works just the same.   This works for pain from all sorts of reasons.  I take it for back pain for crushed vertebrae so I know it works well.

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By lehum · Posted

      Dear Community,  I've been a fan of nuts.com for awhile. As the only company I know of that certify their nuts, I have eaten them faithfully for the last several years! Only recently I noticed on the packaging (of the certified gluten-free nuts) the warning label stating that the product is processed in the same facility as wheat.  I reached out to the company to enquire about the safety of the product and received the following answer:  "Our facility is not allergen-free. We handle all 9 major allergens and produce products on shared equipment. While we have strict procedures in place to minimize cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee that our products are completely free of allergens. We recommend individuals with food allergies to exercise caution and consult our product labels and allergen information for detailed ingredient listings"   I was so disappointed to read this! I already reached out to ask if this means they would not recommend even certified gluten-free products to people with celiac, but wanted to reach out here and ask for your all's thoughts too.  No longer safe to eat? Any other recommendations for good companies?  I have to eat low histsamine, so at the moment, I am limited to pumpkin seeds, pistachios, and macademia nuts.   Thanks in advance for the feedback!
