Nando's rubs

Does anyone else use these and get a reaction despite them being gluten free? I haven't taken dieting serious if honest and end up eating gluten then regretting it. One thing that made it hard for me was being lazy and not like plain meats. Having found these nandos rubs I thought I had found the answer. I grilled the chicken today having used the nandos rub and whilst no where near as bad, I am still farting. I also felt slightly bloat again not as bad but is frustrating. Anyone else has similar with these rubs? Or should I expect bloating and farting to continue for a while as my body gets used to the change?

The only other food I ate was some microwave vegetables from the bag. I have since gone out and brought fresh though as I have read there may be a chance of those containing gluten as they may use the same belt when packaging.

Honestly is so frustrating, I would just love to know what i am going to eat isn't going to cause any problems.

Hi, 

Hmm..Nando's peri salt has gluten, so assuming the rubs are gluten-free, did you use any of that? There is a mistake in their nutritional guide, so might be other items incorrectly labeled as well. 

I got this response from Nando's (in US):

"Thanks for reaching out to us, and we're sorry to see our nutritional guide did not include the peri salt on the fries! That is where the gluten can be found on that that item, so if you want fries again you just need to request them with no salt.

I'll speak with our Food Manager who helps create those guides and make sure we get this on her radar for re-printing. It's concerning to hear that you did not feel well and we need to make sure this doesn't happen to any other guests."

In any case, I find that after eating gluten, I will first have fatigue for a day or two, and the stomach issues only kick in on day 2 or 3...

Best,

Juha

Hi,

 

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I wasn't talking about eating at a nando's this is one of the products they sell here in the UK as a rub to use at home. Not sure if we can post links? If you Google nandos seasoning rub on Google it should come up. Really does add flavour to chicken and made me feel it wouldn't be so hard to eat chicken as plain chicken is so boring. Was happy as it states on the packet its gluten free as well as that it says this,

Suitable for Vegans

Suitable for Vegetarians

Free From Artificial Colours

Free From Artificial Flavours

Free From Artificial Preservatives

 

I e-mailed them in regards to the rubs and asked specifically if they are safe for us with celiac just to be sure and they got back to me saying they was.

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.
