Hunt's Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes

I'm recovering from an awful glutening - the worst in over 8 months.

 

The only item "new" in my diet is a can of Hunt's Fire Roasted diced tomatoes. Otherwise, every item I've eaten in the 3 days leading up to becoming sick was prepared by me at home with ingredients we've always used.

 

The only items on the label that are questionable are yeast and natural flavors.

I have read in other posts and other places on the internet that ConAgra was labeling things to indicate if wheat was present in a product.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on the source of yeast in this product?

I tend to steer away from ConAgra products, because they don't really disclose barley, only wheat, and they were less than helpful when I called them on the phone to ask.

 

I'm sorry that you're sick!

I'm really sorry...that stinks! You shouldn't have to worry about a can of tomatoes! I just saw yeast as an ingredient on a Swansons chicken broth and I wonder about it now.

I hope you feel better soon. Take care. (((Hugs)))

Yeast isn't made with wheat - yeast is a living organism.

And gluten means wheat. barley & rye not just wheat. If a company says they disclose gluten it means they disclose gluten not just wheat. The law that is in effect now also covers wheat. barley & rye not just wheat.

There are different kinds of yeast - like brewer's yeast which is a by-product of brewing.

 

This just says "yeast".  Very vague.

I have never seen a label say " yeast which is not Brewers yeast". :)

Occasionally, on some uncommon products, I have seen " Brewers yeast".

Thanks for the link.  I looked at the two cans I still have of the Hunt's Fire Roasted tomatoes. One has garlic and one does not. Neither can says "gluten free" on them. 

 

I don't know what to think ... other than I don't think I'll use them and donate them to the local food pantry.

 

I only know they're the only thing new I used in cooking in the past week, and ate at home all week.

And I know I don't want to be that sick again for a long time.

Because you say it was the worst glutening in 8 months, and because Con-Agra DOES disclose any gluten in their products, I would venture to say it might not have been a glutening at all, but the "bug" that has been going around.

That could be, but nobody else is sick - even the cootie carrying 12 year old.

No bug going around that we've heard about.

It's kind of like I "know" what my body does when exposed to gluten vs a stomach bug.

And when I vagal, I pretty much know for sure.

If that makes sense.

My hubby and I ran through everything we had done or eaten and where we had been for 72+ hours.

And that silly can of tomatoes are the only thing that came up as new or different.

So there was something my body reacted to in the same way it reacts to gluten. The easiest solution in my mind is to not use that brand. Recover from this reaction and get back to my usual eating habits and see what happens next. The path if least resistance.

      Allergy Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since gluten sensitivity or celiac disease could be a factor (alongside other potential allergens like dairy, eggs, or environmental triggers), getting proper testing is key. In Christchurch, you could start with a pediatrician or GP who can refer you to an allergist/immunologist or a pediatric gastroenterologist (if celiac is suspected). For allergy testing, some options include skin prick tests or IgE blood tests (for immediate allergies), while celiac testing requires gluten consumption beforehand. If you're hitting roadblocks, consider reaching out to Canterbury Allergy Clinic or checking with Christchurch Hospital’s pediatric services for guidance. In the meantime, keeping a food/symptom diary may help identify patterns. Hang in there—getting answers can take time, but you're on the right track!

      Allergy Testing

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @ARutherford! Have you considered that your child may have gluten intolerance/celiac disease? It's not an allergy, it's an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten. It cannot be diagnosed by allergy testing but there are some specific antibody blood tests that any physician can order to check for it. Ask for a "total IGA test" and a "TTG-IGA" test.

      Allergy Testing

      By ARutherford · Posted

      My child keeps getting rashes & stomach aches & l think it’s an allergy to gluten but l need to get a general allergy test done to confirm for sure what it can be. Getting an allergy test seems difficult, l keep hitting dead ends! I live in Christchurch & want to know if anyone can help with who to go to? Thanks

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      Good idea, @LynnM! That would be helpful to other celiacs who find themselves on the more sensitive end of the spectrum. You might also want to send them information about how to initiate the process with GFCO. But just a word of caution here, don't be surprised if the company is reluctant to pursue this certification as it can tie their hands with regard to changes in formulation in the future. Manufacturers often make ingredient decisions not only based on desired product outcomes but on cost factors. It can also put them at a liability risk should some ingredient supplier introduce an ingredient that was cross-contaminated with gluten without knowledge and cause someone to have a reaction. Testing for gluten-free certification is not done as frequently as consumers imagine and products can and do get out of spec at times. And once you slap a gluten-free certified label on a product, you are instantly open to possible liable suites.

      Hi Everyone. I just heard back from my son's GI doc and nutritionist. SHIELD products ARE gluten free. I am going to ask the company to Pursue gluten-free certification.
