Basic Groceries, A Question

I have pretty much given up eating out and make my own foods. I have a question out of curiosity. When you buy things like marinara sauce, or the like, do you only buy things that are labeled gluten-free? when checking the label, if there doesn't appear to be any offending ingredients, would you buy it? Spaghetti sauce was on sale at my store, buy one get one free, and the ingredients looked fine, but it didn't say gluten-free on the label.

 

Just wondering what others do. Thanks.

I just read the ingredients.  We like Newman's Marinara.

thanks Karen. I guess what started confusing me was the stuff that is labeled with info like "made in a facility that also processed wheat" and other labeling like that.

 

my husband saw Muellers pasta gluten-free  and wanted to get it for me. when I read the label it says made in a facility...... so I didn't get it. he said just try it and see if you get sick. he means well.

 

so you go strictly by ingredients. thanks

I make everything from scratch with fresh ingredients. I am super sensitive though.

Depends on how sensative you are. For some people they are okay with shared facilities, for others they are not.

I made marinara with canned tomatoes and spices. :)
But no, I do not look for gluten-free on the label.  I simply read the ingredient list very carefully.

Shared facility, maybe , maybe not.  Lots of things are made in a "shared facility" and you would never know.  They don't have to tell you.  Shared machines makes me think twice.  For me, it depends on what the item is.  Something floury, like pasta, I might not take a chance on.  Seems like it would be harder to clean the machines than a pasta sauce machine.

For me no shared facility labeling and has to be labeled gluten free. I don't go by just the ingredients for any items I don't already know is safe.

thanks for your responses all, I am still navigating my way through this.

I look at shared facilities this way: You mentioned a husband. Does he have any regular bread in the kitchen? If so, you have shared facilities. Do you use the same pans to cook in? If so, you have shared equipment. I am not a super-sensitive, so I don't worry about shared facilities, but I do consider how hard a specific substance would be to clean off a machine in the case of shared equipment.

mbrookes, my kitchen is gluten free, no shared equipment here. if husband wants gluten, he goes out and gets it. my family is great about that.

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they had a systems problem around that time.

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
