I SWEAR I read that the PB cups were gluten-free... but I ate a package the other day and wound up with a migraine. Intially, I was thinking the chocolate - but I made brownies w/ choc. chips and I'm fine... WTH? Any ideas?

I believe Reeses PB cups are gluten free, but there are a couple that have special shapes (like the small holiday bell shapes) that have gluten in them. Did you eat a 'normal' Reeses cup??

Yeah, they were normal. Shoot, I really hoped it wasn't the chocolate!

Can't eat reeses because of soy and the non fat milk powder (I am mildly lactose intolerant and milk powder is too much for me). Found out last christmas that the reese's bells have gluten....the hard way! If you were able to eat chocolate brownies then it must be something else! I like chocolate too...thank goodness for enjoy life chocolate!

...which for some reason is so odd to me. I just make sure to only purchase the "non-holiday-ized" ones (and I haven't had a problem since).

Maybe it wasn't really the peanut butter cups but something else you eat that day or the day before without realizing. If it was just this one time that you had this reaction I'd wait and try them again in a few weeks. I just ate one this morning to see if I have a reaction since I'm one of the lucky super sensitive people.

or perhaps you are having issues with milk or nuts and don't know it yet?? Just a thought.

      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/
