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.

      Anyone From South Africa

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Izelle! Normally, the diagnosis of celiac disease involves two stages.  The first stage involves a simple blood test that looks for antibodies that are pretty specific to celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that attacks the lining of the small bowel which produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood with tests specifically designed for this purpose. There are a number of these tests that can be run. Some are more specific for celiac disease and thus more reliable than others. The two most common antibody tests ordered by physicians when diagnosing celiac disease are the "total IGA" and the "tTG-IGA" test. At least these two should always be...

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      Thank you for saying that. That doctor diagnosed me with IBS with no follow-up so the relationship is already concluded. If I pursue diagnosis further I'll request someone else.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey everyone. Thanks again for your suggestions. I wanted to give an update and ask for some follow-up suggestions from you all.  So I did go through all of my food items and stopped eating things that were “gluten free” and switched over to the “certified gluten free” ones (the ones with the g symbol). I also stayed away from restaurants except once and there I ordered something raw vegan and gluten free hoping for the best. I also stayed away from oats and soy and dairy. I've also been increasing my vitamin B complex. I've been doing this for about 12 days and while I know that's not that long, I'm still getting sick. Sometimes having diarrhea. Sometimes getting headaches and having...

      "My GI doctor ruled out gluten celiac entirely because I didn't have skin rash." Are you serious? The overwhelming majority of people with confirmed celiac disease do not have the rash. It's called dermatitis herpetiformis. It is found in only about 10-15% of those with celiac disease: https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/ If your GI doc is operating on that piece of misinformation, I would start looking for a new GI doc because I wouldn't trust him/her in general.
