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.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
