Hi, I ate evergood sausages last night and a dark chocolate dove bar for dessert and got really sick later on, evergood has gluten free in big letters on the back of the package. We looked up dove with our gluten free app and it said dove is okay? I went to erergood's website and i couldn't find any information about the gluten in their products. Anyone out there have any information about this? Thanks for any help on this.

Which sausage was it? I went to their website and noticed some of their sausage contains wheat. If the one you had didn't list wheat as an ingredient, maybe it was made on the same equipment and was CC'ed.

Oh yeah, if you can find it, Mulay's sausage is gluten-free and it's really good. I get it at my health food store.

It was the bockwurst, where did you find the ingredient list?

I feel dumb, i found the ingredients for the sausage, and it doesn't seem to have wheat in it, and dove is listed everywhere as being gluten free! This is where i get confused, i had a baked potato with cheese i shredded, and tomatoes from my own garden to have with the sausags, and i am still sick from exactly what? I feel that i can't eat at all sometimes, i just can't win.

How long have you been doing this gluten-free thing?  Its possible you were reacting to something from earlier in the day.  Or it had nothing to do with gluten, , like a virus or food poisoning.  Dairy can be hard to digest, especially while healing.  Did you use a colander that has been used for wheat pasta to wash and drain the tomatoes?  It can be a lot of different things.

it has been about 2 years for me, that is why i get so annoyed when this happens. I am very careful and have done a lot of research, but obviously not enough, i guess.

It could be from shared equipment if they make both.  Or it could be something totally different.  I got sick last weekend, came on suddenly then again yesterday, no idea what it was from but everyone here ate the same food and I'm not coeliac, my daughter is, and she didn't get sick so I'm certain it isn't food related.

Some celiacs react to lower levels of gluten than others.  Does this happen to you often?  You may be one that needs to be more careful.  You may have to avoid gluten-free food made in facilities that also process wheat.  Some of us do, and some don't.  You may want to buy from companies who regularly test to make sure that their products contain less than 5 ppm gluten.  Have you had either of these products before?  

 

I am extremely sensitive.  One thing I do is to try to only add one new food in a week.  I eat only a small amount the first time so that if I am going to react, it won't be a serious reaction.  Then I have larger amounts and if that's O.K., that food goes into my safe list.  Most difficult is when something changes with a food in my safe list and then it can take several tries to figure out which one is making me sick.  

 

In your case it seems more likely to be the sausage.  I would wait until I get better, try the Dove bar again, and hopefully be OK.  Then a week later I would try the sausage again.  Only this time I would have a quarter of a sausage or something like that.  I'd have only enough to know that it had been the cause, and not enough to make me feel terrible.  Then I'd try a different sausage next time.  Maybe I'd choose one from a gluten free facility.

 

I hope that this helps.

Thanks, i actually do just what you described. I try to be upbeat about all of this, but all of the continual experimimentation with foods just gets me down sometimes, just when you think you have it under control, you get sick. I am not very happy that this is the rest of my life, and what really irks me is that is from food that has been chemically altered and screwed around with, what would the government do if All of the american populace  became gluten-free intolerant or celiac?

Well, it might be the sausage.  I can only have fresh -- one without any nitrates etc.  Same goes for hot dogs or bacon.  I don't buy lunch meats either if they have preservatives (and most do).  You just have to freeze it within a few days if you open the package.  I vomit like clock-work if I eat a regular dog!  So you might have developed an intolerance to nitrates or the other additives to preserve it.  

 

I eat Dove candy and it is gluten free.  I think I'll un-wrap one now! :lol:

My vote is preservatives -- some of the more natural and labeled gluten free brands have very high nitrate levels...but because the nitrate is in the form of celery based items they are allowed to label them - "no added nitrates".

 

Perhaps try another brand of sausage?

Do you test them for gluten? If so, to what level? Thanks for helping to clear this up.

How nice to have a representative of the company come on to help!  Can you tell us about what precautions you take to prevent cross contamination between the gluten containing sausages and the gluten free sausages, please?

I can totally relate.  It can be hard to stay upbeat.  I remember how sick I was before the diagnosis, and how much better I am now, and that makes it a lot easier.  I don't know how long you have been at this.  It's been about 6 years for me.  As time goes on, I get better at it and I get less sick less often.

ice cream is not good for anyone's digestive tract. It is cold, and is made with sugar and milk. I would not consider it  food at all, especially for a celiac. I have no idea why there is a line through everything I type

There is a long box at the top of your reply ( or someone told me its on the bottom on some browsers). It has Bold, italics, cross thru. You probably hit that.

As for your comment- cold and dairy and sugar do not bother my digestive tract. Of course, I don't eat a gallon at once or even eat it very often.

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      By RMJ · Posted

      They don’t give a sample size (serving size is different from sample size) so it is hard to tell just what the result means.  However, the way the result is presented  does look like it is below the limit of what their test can measure, so that is good.

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading
