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.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
