I'm having one of those days where I have an insatiable urge to snack.

Like, serious snacking. Like, go to the grocery store on the way to work to get *A* snack for the work day. I packed my lunch, too, with ample snacks.

My trek through HEB went like this (pretend you're reading my thoughts as I'm shopping)...

Walk in the door, ooooh, those blackberries look good! And they're on sale pick up the natural, healthy blackberries

,

walk down the cereal aisle, check the cocoa puffs box. It looks gluten-free, cool, I'll have to remember that. But some people are getting sick, so maybe not

On to the candy aisle, dammit, all the Lindt chocolate has malt in it, bastards. Oooh! When did HEB start selling endangered species chocolate? (Pick up a dark chocolate raspberry bar.) Wait a minute, I hate dark chocolate. Oh well, I'll get it anyway.

On to the refridgerated aisle I really want some kozy shack tapioca pudding. I didn't know they came in 6 packs! (pick up the 6 pack of pudding) (keep in mind, I'm on my way to work)

OK, I'm going to be late. On to the checkout, hold the phone! They added an organic section! AND THEY HAVE TONS OF ENER-G BREAD! Why isn't this in my HEB near home? I'll remember that, oooh, they have those sesame cruch thingys I like, and they're gluten-free! Awesome! (pick up the package of JoYva sesame crunch)

OK, really need to check out. The line is long, why do they only have two registers open, A kosher section and deli, are you kidding me? The Dell's must shop here, rich bastards. Wow, look at all this stuff! I don't have any more room in my hands.

I finally check out, the guy forgets to give me change, and I arrive to work 10 minutes late.

I'm snarfing the heck out of all of this food at my desk :P I never eat like this, WTF??!?!?!

the cocoa puffs are NOT gluten-free.

but I am LOL at "reading your mind" as you were shopping! I've done that! I have some days where all I wanna do is snack.

Like today... I've pigged out on jelly beans, cheetos, Enjoy Life snack bars, tater tots, banana chips... OMG... somebody STOP ME!

it must be in the air----i was eating dry cocoa pebbles out of a cup----would have had a candy bar if there was one in the house!!

how many of you get the munchies when your not even hungry? i HATE when that happens---which is much too often-----sometimes i chew ice--------so i can think i am eating without getting calories.

      Welcome to the forum, @Amyinwyoming! Answers to your question that you might receive may not be helpful to you as an individual since sensitivity levels vary significantly within the gluten sensitive/gluten intolerant/celiac community. The other complicating factor is that low levels of gluten in a product may not cause obvious symptoms but may still generate low level inflammation in the small bowel. When in doubt, it is best to pass on the product. I'm not a particularly sensitive celiac so I might allow myself to eat something at a guest's house that was made from a food product with the kind of disclaimer label you describe but I typically shy away from buying them or consuming them when I have a choice.

      Started having ataxia symptoms (tremor, twitching, leg weakness, slurred speech) approx 1 year ago. I have had extensive neurological testing and negative. However, I had celiac blood and gene testing that were both markedly positive. Have been gluten free for almost 1 year but still having episodes or flairs. Has anyone else experienced this?  I have been pretty strict about my diet and am also dairy free.  How long before it took you to feel like symptoms mostly resolved?    I would like to add I’ve also been pregnant for most of this time, so I’m seeing a lot of my symptoms return postpartum. Now that I’m also having regular bowel movements in comparison to the constipation from pregnancy, I am noticing evidence of malabsorption in my stool. I also lost weight postpartum quickly. I have an upcoming appointment with a G.I. to hopefully get an endoscopy done. I’m on several supplements and have no known deficiencies on bloodwork. Has anyone found that increasing fiber or starting a digestive enzyme supplement helped?    I am hoping there is still some chance for my body to heal since it has been 11 months on the diet.

      The package says - "made in a facility that processes wheat" - has anyone had a problem?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
