Hello all I am very new to all of this and don't know where to start, first of all how does everyone do it without getting solo paranoid about every thing! I'm about to wear.a hazmat suit wherever I go. Does any one get bothered by salsa? It's my favorite snack and I found one that only had a few ingredients and all were ones I could have also pepper I have had a reaction too as well anybody else had this or is it justme??? Thanks in advance because I truly need the help

I have good luck with salsas, but salsas without pepper???? Now that's difficult!

I advise making your own til you're more comfortable with reading ingredients and brands.

FYI I buy La Victoria, Goldwater brand, and Mi Salsa.

Are you saying you can't have peppers as well?  If so, I would definitely go the route of making your own.  Salsa is one of those things you really just can't mess up, but it may take a lot of tweaking to get what you like.  It also freezes well, if you don't want to mess with canning and want to make big batches.

 

Also, what are you eating the salsa with?  gluten-free tortilla chips are readily available, but not all tortilla chips are gluten-free.

 

Another thing is that, if your stomach and such is already prone to being upset, you may have to lay off the salsa for a little bit until you heal up some more.  As time goes by it will all be easier and you will be more knowledgeable and less freaked out and paranoid :)

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
