Rice Chex Test

Post by tex »

Hi All,

Okay, I started the day with 2.8 ounces, (2.8 servings), of Rice Chex, and not long thereafter, I was a bit bloated. By early afternoon, (about 4 to 5 hours later, IOW), I had the start of a slight headache, and a few light upper body aches and pains, but no D. I just finished forcing down another 2.5 servings, so we'll see what happens.

Here's the outcome:

After the second dose, I had more bloating, and the headache and upper body aches and pains got bad enough that I took a couple of tylenol, so that I would be able to sleep, but no D.

This morning, I'm feeling great. I did notice, though, that I had difficulty swallowing a couple of large glucosamine sulphate with condroitin pills, and a fish oil capsule, and a flax oil capsule didn't want to go down very easily. That always happens during the final stages of a reaction, (for me, at least). I even noticed it when I was getting over the flu, but yesterday, those pills went down like greased lightening, so that also confirms a reaction of some type.

Not good, Rick had tried the rice chex once, but then we figured out that sugar is one of his triggers, so he couldn't have anymore of them...maybe that was a good thing....

Sorry the test didn't go well.....

Hugs,

You are very brave............. I just stopped them cold turkey after your previous post. I really miss them. :sad:

I must call General Foods about the test panel. Seems the word needs to get out about these. DARN.

Joan,

I don't understand why you feel that they are off-limits for you. Just because some people react to them does not guarantee that you will react to them. Of course, it may be best to avoid them, until you are in remission, so that you can tell if they have any effect on you.

But we have no substantial evidence that Rice Chex has a gluten problem.

I've continued to eat them without a problem.

I'm scared to eat them and most everything else.

I thought you were reacting to them, Tex.......

I've been feeling really lousy so you'll have to forgive me. I went to "Doc in the Box" as they call urgent care centers down here. Doc told me there are only 3,500 possible reasons for nausea. Doing blood work for liver and gallbladder. Don't know what else. (My blood pressure was up.)

I see my regular internal med/endocrinologist on Wed. for a regularly scheduled appointment. DH keeps telling me to change from her.

Joan,

I do react, (bloating, aches & pains), but no D. That means it could be something other than Gluten that's bothering me.

I hope you can figure out what's causing your problems pretty soon.
