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.

      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

      By rei.b · Posted

      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.
