No Name Brand Corn Chips

do these chips contain gluten?

I had a small handful tonight without even thinking and a couple hours later I'm in tears, blowing everything out of proportion again.

I had some canned beans before that with some salsa, but I don't think it could be that?

I don't have a No Name chips package here to look at, but what makes you suspect them? I have never encountered corn chips that had gluten in them. I would look at the salsa first.

I assume there are no gluten ingredients. Does the bag say anything about shared equipment?

I guess just because I usually eat the salsa and feel ok. but I never eat corn chips. I'm just starting to get very discouraged. it feels sometimes like I cant eat anything. sometimes I wonder if it's even wheat or if I just react to everything :(

I'm sorry! just venting!

Yeah, we can definitely react to more than gluten. A lot of us have a little trouble with grains and starchy foods in general. Tomatoes kill me, especially raw.

I read the GAPS book available at Open Original Shared Link and it was a real eye-opener. Some people have really messed up gut bacteria and starchy foods and sugar feed them and keep things out of balance. GAPS is a diet designed to rebalance your system and seal your gut so you don't have so many GI problems. It's similar to the Specific Carbohydrate diet. If you don't seem to tolerate grains, sugar, and starchy foods very well, you might take a look. It may be particularly helpful if you are not diagnosed celiac, but find you feel somewhat better off wheat.

Also remember that corn is a major allergen so it might be that you're a little allergic to it. Or it could be gluten CC, but I found all my unexplained reactions were actually other foods. It was confusing because sometimes I can get away with one food I can't tolerate, like a little dairy, but mix two like dairy and tomato on a Greek salad, or throw in something generally hard to tolerate like red wine and I get all messed up.

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
