May Have Just Eaten Gluten :p

I just ate two utz chips. They have always said gluten free on the back. I always read the back of things before I eat them to make sure the ingredients haven't changed. This is literally the second time I've ever eaten a food without checking the back of the package first. I'm SO SCARED right now because after I ate two chips, I looked at the back and it said "may be processed on equipment that also processes wheat" I just like started crying. I don't know what to do, I don't want to get sick. WHAT DO I DO!!?!??? If I do get sick, what do you find helps you even the littlest bit? And I'm hoping I will be ok, because it said it "may" be processed on the same line as gluten, and I'm sure they clean the lines often do what are your thoughts On that? Plus I only ate two chips....I would never ever have eaten these if I read the back.

Don't panic.

Realistically, a lot of food is processed on shared wheat lines - food you may eat daily. This is a standard CYA line. Yes, some manufacturers are better at preventing cc than others. Standard procedure is to clean equipment between runs - so they would have cleaned it before making the gluten-free product.

If you are super sensitive, you may have an increased chance of reaction; however, chances are you will be fine.

Take some digestive enzymes and probiotics to help you feel better, and to help your system if there was any cc.

My kitchen was a gluten-free facility until a kid walked thru w/ a KitKat.

All my silverware used to touch gluten all the time.

I'd bet you didn't get glutened.

Don't panic. I've eaten shared lines chips without any problem at all. You're probably feeling worse from freaking out than you would from a tiny trace of gluten and it's unlikely there is any gluten at all. Relax, have a nice, soothing cup of tea and don't worry.

Utz is the brand of chips I always buy and I've never had a problem with them. Wish I could contain myself to having just two chips! I just get the plain chips though and my bag does not have the "may be processed on equipment that also processes wheat" statement on the back. What kind of Utz chips did you buy?

Are you feeling okay this morning?

I bought the utz tortilla chips.i just bought the exact same kind four days ago and it clearly said gluten free on the back! Now it has the "may be ..." statement.

So far, I'm feeling no worse than a normal day. Usually when im glistened (it's only happened twice but both times a stomach bug was going around so it was hard to tell what was from what) I have excruciating stomach pain within a couple hours but I slept through the night and no pain today do I'm hoping I will be ok. And also hoping there is no damage to my villi even though I didn't have an outward reaction.

Most people who have celiac eat food that has either that same warning or that has been processed on the same lines. I wouldn't worry.

Just called the company.thry said that they just changed plants, and wheat products are now processed on the same line. But they sanitize between each run.so I wouldn't normaly eat them just out of cautiousness but having accidentally eaten a couple I believe I willbe ok.:)

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.
