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.

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free...

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.
