Be careful Ore Ida

[Marissa221]

I bought some ore Ida golden crispy crown today I was excited to eat some potatoes and  had been having bad week and they were labeled gluten free and I read the ingredients list and they said it used autolyzed yeast i did my research and everything said it was gluten free however I had a reaction so I did some more research and found the ingredient list for the website and it said it used autolyzed yeast extract on their which is no gluten free. I’ve checked multiple websites now they all say something different. This is just so frustrating!!!

Perhaps you are sensitive to another ingredient, for example MSG? Autolyzed yeast is typically a form of MSG, and is usually gluten-free. In this case it would be gluten-free since they have "gluten-free" on the label.

I know autolyzed yeast is gluten free but what about autolyzed yeast extract?

[Marissa221]

Also I’ve had msg in thing like chips and they haven’t affected me

As the article mentions, autolyzed yeast extract could contain trace amount of gluten if it is made from barley, however, since the Ore Ida product was labelled gluten-free I doubt this would be the case.

I don’t know what else it could have been all I had that day was those potatoes white rice with beef marinated in gluten free soy sauce,pears gluten-free gochujang and brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger.

Hi, @Marissa221,

I have a hypersensitivity to Sulfites.  Sulfite Sensitivity can be found in Celiac Disease.  

Sulfites are used to prevent discoloration on potato products and chips.  Because this is considered part of processing, Sulfites don't have to be listed on the label.

I cannot tolerate Ore-Ida frozen potatoes.  I have a reaction every time.  BUT, I don't react to store brand frozen potatoes (which doesn't use autolyzed yeast extract).  Different manufacturers use different amounts.  The less expensive store brands frequently don't use expensive flavor enhancements like yeast extract, nor as much SO2.

Here's more information....

And...

Hope this helps!

Forgot to mention that Sulfites are naturally occurring in anything fermented, like soy sauce, wines, sauerkraut and pickles.  

Apparently gochujang is a fermented chili paste...

Thanks but I’m not sure I have sensitivity to sulfites because there is one Thai place I can order from the has a gluten free options that I don’t have any reaction to. I get the Thai fried rice and get the gluten free option which is uses gluten free soy sauce

@Marissa221,

Sulfites cause mast cells to release lots of histamine, which is also what happens during the autoimmune reaction to gluten.

Here's a good article...

I’ve a had a few of things on the list and I’ve never had any reaction to them. So I don’t know. I’m just getting confused at this point.

@Marissa221,

Our bodies can handle a certain amount of histamine.  We break it down with enzymes made from vitamins and minerals.  

But we can reach a point where our cup runs over, where we can't keep up.  Like Lucy Ricardo in the chocolate factory.  Once we reach the limit of our tolerance (a full cup), that's when digestive symptoms can start.  The body rejects any more incoming histamine in food and drinks.  

Histamine is released in response to Gluten as part of an autoimmune reaction.  So, eating high histamine foods introduces more histamine, and the symptoms feel the same as being glutened.  

Don't drive yourself crazy trying to find hidden gluten in the ingredients.  Deal with helping your body feel better.  

The body needs B12, Vitamin C, iron, and Pyridoxine B6 to make the enzyme, DAO, that breaks down histamine.  Epsom salt baths helps get Magnesium.  Celiacs can be low in micronutrients like these.  Eating a clean, fresh low histamine diet helps our bodies heal.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet.  Developed by a doctor, Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  This diet has been scientifically shown to reduce inflammation and promote healing.  

Hope this helps!
