Nuts At The Airport

Hi everyone,

I travel fairly often and there's never much I can eat at the airport. As such, I frequently picked up a bag of peanuts or cashews in the airport stores just to have something to munch on.

I went to buy some nuts on a recent trip and reread the ingredients. The most common brand of nuts sold in airports seems to be Snak Club. Well, Snak Club has a new allergy statement on it's packages that says that all of their nuts are made on shared equipment with wheat, soy, etc.

I'm bummed because I could always grab these if desperate, but also because I've probably been getting contaminated for a long time by eating these damn nuts. DOH.

So, bring your own nuts to the airport from now on.

Thanks for the head's-up. It's cheaper to bring your own, too! But there goes another "emergency-nosh".

Now we have an excuse to get chocolate with our peanuts.

I just did my first travelling since going gluten-free.

How frustrating! My gate was directly across from a Cinnabon. YUM. Well I was starving so I went over there to buy some fruit. I'm so strong!!

Well, the fruit was like $1.50 MORE than the gigantic Cinnabon. AND it was going bad.

I ended up eating fries at McDonald's in Detroit on both trips. I hate fast food, but I had no problems either time.

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people react to the Casein in dairy the same as to gluten, like me.  I avoid dairy avidly because I get ataxia so bad. Some Celiac people produce tTg 6 antibodies in response to gluten or casein.  tTg 2 antibodies are what blood tests for Celiac measure.  tTg 6 antibodies are also found in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, contributing to ataxia.  Have you been checked for tTg 6 antibodies?

      False blood test positive?

      I agree that you were not eating sufficient gluten prior to your endoscopy.

      Hi Knitty Kitty,  Thanks for sending all of these articles.  Some of them are too complex for me to parse.  That said, I had extensive blood tests done when the ataxia started.  I was a little low on Vit. D.  My doc thought I might be low on Vit. K.  But no.  K levels were completely normal as were all of my B Vits. levels.  I take a D supplement but even with that, if I have lactose, I start to feel my head get inflamed.  It is what it is.

      @Soleihey, Do get checked for thiamine deficiency.  Blood tests for thiamine deficiency are not accurate.  You can have "normal" levels in the blood, but still be deficient because thiamine stores inside cells are depleted.  Thiamine deficiency can cause ataxia, tremor, muscle twitching, leg weakness, constipation, and slurred speech.  I had these symptoms and more that did not resolve with a one a day type vitamin.  I needed high doses of Thiamine to correct the deficiency.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Pregnancy can deplete thiamine stores.   Interesting Reading: Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/
