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.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.
