We've all been told to read the labels even on products that you have previously bought that were gluten free because they could've changed formulas. Well, didn't follow that advice and bam--ate a Nature Valley nut bar that was previously okay, but now is not.

I normally don't eat them, but somebody left a half eaten one by the stove. So, after it called my name for 2 days, I finally ate it. Was sick all over the holidays and I couldn't figure out why.

Went to the store yesterday to buy some more for lunches and read the label out of habit and imagine my surprise. At least now I know what got me.

was there something obviously different on the label?

i would be just as suspicious that the bar got contaminated after being toucned by the person who ate the first half and then sittinf insealed for 2 days. that's a lot of time and who know how clean that counter is

Our entire family needs to be gluten free. Nothing to contaminate it with around here.

No, the label never listed wheat before and now it does. :(

I hate that.

Recently went to a well known store chain to stock up on my one known source of raw sunflower seeds that are not cross contaminated, and now the package, their house brand, has raw sunflower seeds "made in a facility that also processes wheat and soy." I searched a long time for these and of course the IDIOTIC store (they're expensive) had to go with a cheaper supplier in Texas. Sunflower seeds are grown in North Dakota. They're like, did you complain to the management? at the cashier. I thought, if you knew what I knew about this store, you'd know that it was probably deliberate, because the packages are now also smaller, but the same price.

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      By JenFur · Posted

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
