Tastefully Simple

I went to a tastefully simple party a few weeks ago and was really excited that they had a new "gluten free" line.  I was a little apprehensive to try them because they are made in a factory that processes what also.  Well I made their brownies yesterday and while they taste good my daughter had a reaction to them within an hour of eating them.  Stomach cramps so bad she was in tears. Has anyone else tried the new products from tastefully simple?  I feel ripped off...

I'm not against trying products that are "manufactured in" or even "manufactured on" under the right circumstances and with the right phone calls or emails. My sole red flag though, 100% of the time, are facilities that deal in wheat based flours. It lingers in the air and coats everything. Unless they're using a separate room with separate equipment, their products aren't something I would even consider trying because of the products they sell. Because of the number of delicious, safe, sometimes made in gluten free facilities and sometimes certified baking mixes available to us, buying ones made in flour filled facilities just isn't something I think we need to do.

I second what addy said.  Shared facilities I can be okay with but the poofy gluten around it is a recipe for disaster.  Also, I looked on the website out of curiosity and HOLY GUACAMOLE $11.99?!!!  You can buy at least two mixes of other brands for that.  But honestly, I probably would have bought it as well.  It says routinely tested to 20 ppm so it lures you in.  Do they have a money back guarantee or anything like that?  The good thing is that brownies seem the easiest to match gluten-free to the gluteny counterparts so most mixes are pretty darn good.

My wife has a severe gluten allergy. She made a tastefully simple vanilla  bean pound cake that states gluten free. Now she is very sick. GLUTEN SENSITIVE PEOPLE DO NOT EAT THIS PRODUCT!!!

You guys that bought their products need to let them know ASAP that you're getting sick.

That is a good suggestion that many don't think about.  You can also send them a link to the new FDA standards.  You can also report them to the FDA if you feel they are blatantly ignoring what needs to be done, but the product needs to manufactured after this week.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
