Trader Joe's Bummer

I posted what I thought was the updated list for trader Joe's gluten-free products. well, I went in last night to pick something up and they are still in the process of updating it (I have a feeling because of the new labeling laws).

But the bummer was, I went in to pick up a few of my old favorites that had been on the gluten-free list before and I just read the labels. Many of them now say "Processed in a facility that also processes wheat". I hadn't been in there in a few months but almost everything I picked up (frozen dinners, chocolates, and even some of the chips) now have that warning on them. It's GREAT that they have that warning but I've had really bad luck with those kinds of products before so it looks like I won't be buying much there anymore.

Bummer :(

I agree Berenese...I've been bugging them to get the updated list out too. Didn't know your info--thanks--now ---

Another alert...some of the products they are listing as gluten free on the June 2005 HAVE NOW added wheat. My wonderful Dr Lilian --my chriropractor who keeps me walking...... compared the ingred of a old package in the freezer and her new one and the new improved :blink::(HANDCRAFTED CHICKEN TAQUITOS HAVE WHEAT AND ANOTHER BAD FOR US INGRED...listed right there. Sure it's good it's listed but who wants to start having to read all the labels in their store AGAIN when they are on the gluten-free list on the web page and handouts?

Thanks for the post.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
