Patak's Indian cooking sauce -- is it safe?

I'd like to pick up some Patak's spicy butter chicken cooking sauce. The Patak's website says that their products are gluten free, but I'm being extra cautious. (I get DH and have been feeling better since doing 6 months of the Fasano diet.) My diet is rather bland, so being able to eat this would be a great addition! (I love Indian food!)

Thanks for sharing any insight you may have ...

Just remember that a label reading “gluten free” means it has been tested or complies with less than 20 ppm in the US.  Are you more sensitive?  If you do try it, please let us know the outcome.  You may help others with DH.  

Consider asking the Gluten Free Watchdog tomtest this product.  It might be well below 5 ppm.  

That said, do you think Indians opened jars of sauce in the olden days?  Consider making and freezing batches from scratch.  No need to miss Indian food.  ?

      @FayeBr, Yes, blood tests for thiamine are notoriously inaccurate. Thiamine works inside cells.  The blood stream is a transport system, not an accurate measure of the amount of usable thiamine inside cells.  The best way to see if you're in need of thiamine, according to the World Health Organization, is to take thiamine for a while and look for health improvement.   The thyroid is one of the biggest users of thiamine along with the brain and the pancreas.  Thiamine improves the fatigue in hypothyroidism and helps the thyroid function.  Thiamine helps the pancreas produce digestive enzymes and insulin.  Yes, low thiamine can even cause altered thinking, forgetfulness, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, migraines, poor judgement, and brain fog.  Low thiamine causes white spots in the brain in specific areas.   Yes, low thiamine can cause symptoms similar to MS.  Abnormalities in muscle fiber contractions can be very similar in both MS and low thiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic.  There's no toxicity upper limit.  If not needed, the kidneys excrete it easily.   Some Celiac people make tTg 6 antibodies which attack the brain resulting in Ataxia symptoms.    Remember blood tests for Celiac?  Those measure tTg2 antibodies.  TTg 6 antibodies are also found in people with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, although they don't have Celiac disease.   P.S. I struggled along with low thiamine for years.  I have had great health improvement taking Benfotiamine.

      I would say from experience that I am definitely reacting to gluten. I do also react to soy but slightly differently, shorter time period with tell tale signs. I appreciate all of your advice Knitty Kitty. I am low on Vitamin D and I have asked my gp about Thiamine who advised that we don’t do blood tests for that in the UK. I also feel like my thyroxine meds aren’t working correctly now too. Perhaps with the damage? But I will take your advice seriously as you live and learn so much. We all know our own bodies and we all have our own symptoms and experiences.  I am on a waiting list for an Ataxia specialist here in the UK. I must have Been Celiac long before being diagnosed as they diagnosed me with MS in 2004 and neurologist is now saying it has been Ataxia from gluten all along.  It has been a learning curve for me and it is so surprising how little is actually known about this by neurologists and other medical professionals, with some unable to even pronounce it correctly. I have studied hard over the 4 years and written to experts to gain knowledge. Having said that, this site is great to find comfort in fellow Celiacs and to feel like you’re not the only one 😊

      blood pressure meds that are gluten free

      By Yvonne Ayers Albers · Posted

      Found out the the HCTZ doesn't have gluten in it.  But for me it made my sodium level drop so low, I ended up in hospital.  So it is gluten free, but didn't help my blood pressure levels. Everyone is different.
