Orida Hash Browns

Orida Hash Browns ----So the bag says they're gluten-free, but every time I eat them I get sick, kinda like a mild gluten reaction, but sick enough to persuade me to not eat them.  I've tried cooking them using a variety of oils, but no matter what I do, I get sick about 3 hours later - stomach cramps, bathroom visits, that sort of thing...nothing like an all out gluten reaction, but annoying...

 

Anybody else experience that?  Any ideas?

That is puzzling.  I know a lot of us Celiacs eat ore idea, in fact I had some of their cube shaped hash browns last night.  Could it be how you are preparing it, like with a high fat meal, with undercooking of potatoes or eggs, something like that?  They do add an ingredient to their frozen potatoes to keep them from going brown which is called "DISODIUM DIHYDROGEN PYROPHOSPHATE", so perhaps it could be that individual preservative.  I know any potato product that is shelf stable is going to have something added or they will turn a hideous brown color.

 

Either way if you want to steer clear, if you ever want to make your own hash browns from scratch, the flavor beats out anything you can get from the frozen section.  Just takes a lot of work to grate the potatoes and squeeze the water out.  (Or pre-cook the potatoes in the microwave and cut into cubes before frying for the home style cube kind).

Thanks for the response.  I'm wondering if it is some random ingredient in there, not related to gluten.  I mean, if they say they are gluten free then I do trust them, and other products that are labelled gluten free have never bothered me.  It's just this one thing.  I made the mistake of buying the great big bag of hashbrowns when I saw they are gluten free - I got all excited.  Then I felt like it would be wasteful to not eat them, so I tried using different kids of oils to see if maybe the oil was making be sick, but no matter what I tried I kept getting sick.  

 

I'll look into that preservative.  My daughter does make home style potatoes that are really good, maybe I'll try to make the actual shredded style just to see how it works.

 

Thanks again!

We eat those harsh browns and fries without a problem. I would suspect the added preservatives and would avoid them for a while.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      By Fayeb23 · Posted

      I’ve recently had bloods test due to fatigue. Iron was found to be low Serum ferritin level 4 ug/L so doctor sent for Coeliac test. Results have come back TTG ABS NUMERICAL > 250.0 U/mL is this a high reading? Am not waiting a Gastroenterology referral but this could take 10 weeks! This is all total new to me, didn’t think for a second I would have coeliac disease. Been advised not to change diet until seen by specialist
