Between the 2 celiacs in our house, we eat about 2 to 3 boxes of these

each week and have never reacted. Some of them do have dairy, and

after a bad glutening, I react to lactose for a few weeks to few

months. Perhaps that is your problem?

TGIF ,

I react to products that I've tried that are subject to cross-

contamination. Sometimes the reaction is soon enough and clear

enough to troubleshoot. Other times the reaction is that I start

getting worse little by little. Then I have to re-examine every

label in the house.

From talking with many other celiacs, it seems to me that those of

us who were not diagnosed before we went downhill pretty badly are

those who learn they MUST avoid gluten contamination in food

processing/preparation. Of course, other celiacs may be having more

subtle reactions that can cause inflammation, and possible cell

changes (i.e., cancer).

It also seems that the intensity of any gluten reaction may be

affected as much by our overall well-being (e.g., stress, nutrition,

rest, other health conditions) as much as the " amount " of gluten.

I choose to err on the side of caution. For example, if a Mexican

restaurant doesn't make their own corn tortillas, I assume that the

tortillas have been made on a surface dusted with wheat flour. I

just move on to the next question (Do you use tomato paste in the

rice, salsa or other sauces?). The fun never ends.

Take good care,
