Udi's Cinnamon Raisin Bread

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this.  I have been eating toasted Udi's gluten free cinnamon raisin bread the last few mornings with either butter or almond butter.  This morning, right after eating it, I started having uncontrollable, violent fits of coughing and choking.  I was finally able to drink a lot of water, then I had a Ricola lozenge and took some ibuprofen, and my system finally calmed down.   I had this same experience several years ago after eating some gluten free Van's waffles.  Has this happened to anyone else?  I'm at a loss, as I've never reacted to butter or almond butter this way, and not to the ingredients listed on the Udi's package, unless I have an undiagnosed sensitivity to something.  This was scary, needless to say, I will be avoiding Udi's products.

Sounds like you may be alleric to something in both products. Next time you are at the store compare the ingredients of each to see if they have one in common that you don't think you eat in other products.. 

It might be a good idea to schedule an appointment with your doctor for a referral to an alergist to be on the safe side.

It's all very frustrating.  I had the skin prick tests done last year and they told me I had no allergies, but I have reactions all the time, such as itching, watery, runny, itchy eyes, digestive issues, stomach cramps, IBS-type symptoms,  mental fogginess, etc.   I had blood tests done by a naturopath a few years ago and my worst food intolerance was wheat/gluten by far.  The naturopath found several other reactive foods but said most of them were mild compared to my reaction to gluten.  I looked online at the ingredients for both products, but it's confusing, the main ingredients shared by these two products were brown rice flour and potato starch.  I've used brown rice in baking with no problems, it could be the potato starch, which I don't often use, but I don't have any reaction to eating real potatoes.

What about Xanthan gum?  It really bothers me, so I avoid most commercially processed gluten-free breads, etc.  Never bothers my hubby though.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I made some key lime bars yesterday and used Bob's Red Mill one to one flour mix, which contains xanthan gum.  I ate quite a few with no issue, so I don't think that's it.

I have had a bad reaction to this bread before. I thought it might be the citric acid or the enzymes. I don't know what sodium alginate it and I avoid guar gum. Also I thought modified food starch was like MSG but I may be wrong. MSG makes me very ill.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By cameo674 · Posted

      Thank you, Trents.  This is exactly why I ask questions.  The reference range was anything over 15 was out of range for all 3 antibody tests where I was out of range, Tissue Transglutaminase (IgG)<1.0 was the top of the normal range and 47-310 is the range for the IgA.   I started limiting my gluten (American Grains) exposure in 2020 when my daughter tested homozygous for the MTHFR gene so the numbers in 2024 are definitely reduced from what they probably were in 2020.  My daughter was told by her doctor to eliminate american grains due to the fortifying process.     I have been changing up my diet since 2018 when I could not stay out of the bathroom.  I attributed my stomach issues a generic medication that I had been taking for my lymphedema since they started at the same time. I had gone from being unable to use the bathroom to being unable to leave the house with spare clothes.  I mostly stick to a protein and a vegetable for my meals now-a-days.  Gluten exposure is usually through family events.  I just added pre and probiotics into my diet in 2024 because of gerd like issues that I was told was related to another gene issue.  I am trying to stop eating tums and Omeprazole like they are candy.  I have Hashimoto’s so I always thought my ANA Pattern/Titer scores were just pointing to the thyroid issues not any other conditions.     I will make sure that I restart/guarantee my gluten intake at the end of April before my June appointment.  7 weeks should be enough? Though 6 pieces of bread a day is a lot higher than I have ever consumed.    I will prompt the kids to start their journeys.  They all have stomach issues, but their doctors were attributing them to various other reasons since no one in our family has ever been diagnosed with celiac.   Anxiety was always what the doctors said their stomachs hurt so they eat tums alot too.   Thank you again for your anatomy help. The people who I have personally known that had a celiac diagnosis got so sick when they accidentally consumed gluten that I never considered that I might have it myself.  I would not have done the test myself if my daughter wasn’t so anxious about needles.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease is a lifelong autoimmune condition. Unlike some food allergies, which children may outgrow, celiac disease does not go away. Even if you don’t experience immediate symptoms after consuming gluten, it doesn’t mean the disease is gone. The absence of symptoms does not equal safety. Gluten can still be causing damage to your small intestine, even if you don’t feel it right away. As @trents mentioned, this is called "silent celiac disease," where there is internal damage without obvious symptoms. The fact that you didn’t react to the wheat-containing cookie or the donut doesn’t mean you’ve outgrown celiac disease. It’s possible that your body didn’t react strongly at that moment, but repeated exposure to gluten could lead to long-term complications, such as nutrient deficiencies, osteoporosis, or other autoimmune conditions. The damage caused by gluten can be cumulative, even if symptoms aren’t immediate. Your doctor’s suggestion to “experiment” is concerning. Celiac disease should never be tested by intentionally consuming gluten unless it’s under strict medical supervision for diagnostic purposes (like a gluten challenge before testing). Even then, it’s risky and can cause significant harm. If you’re curious about whether your celiac disease is still active, the best course of action is to consult a gastroenterologist and undergo proper testing, such as blood tests (tTG-IgA) or an endoscopy with biopsy, rather than self-experimentation. Your mom’s skepticism is understandable and warranted. Celiac disease requires strict, lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet, even if you feel fine after eating gluten. It’s not worth risking your long-term health for a donut or cookie, no matter how delicious they may be. I strongly encourage you to avoid gluten entirely and continue following a strict gluten-free diet. If you have further questions or concerns, please discuss them with a healthcare professional who specializes in celiac disease.

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats can be problematic for some people with celiac disease due to cross-contamination or sensitivity to avenin. Corn and rice are typically safe but should be checked for cross-contamination if processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing grains.

      New and Frustrated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      @Tracey Thomas  I agree with @trents and this looks like a total IGA result, and not a celiac disease test result. Be sure to discuss this with your doctor.

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Everyone is different, but you may hear a CYA statement like "we don't test for gluten, and can't guarantee our products are gluten-free," which doesn't mean they are likely to contain gluten, only that they want to protect themselves. This is pretty common, and very frustrating for sensitive celiacs.
