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.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
