Simple Organic Pudding & Pie Filling (issue?)

Hi! I'm new to this board and was diagnosed with Celiac about six months ago. My life has completely changed about my new diet, but occasional mistakes happen. I wanted to ask about one in particular.

One of the biggest differences I've noticed on a gluten-free diet is the loss of some very troubling seizures. I can't actually remember their specific name...something long...I'd have an almost out-of-body experience. My whole body would tingle, I'd forget my name, and who I was, and wouldn't recongnize any but the very closest of family members. The whole experience would last for approx. 30 seconds, but I'd be so tired I would fall asleep for hours afterwards, and my personality would be changed for about a half day. Incredibly and wonderfully, they completely disappeared.

However, I tried one new food about two days ago, and I suffered three very bad seizures. After drinking eight or nine glasses of water and sleeping off and on for two days, I'm recovered...but shaken.

The food I tried was Simple Organics Butterscotch Pudding that I purchased from Vitamin Cottage. I had tried the Vanilla flavor before with no problem, but after eating the Butterscotch, was thrown right back into my pre gluten-free diet symptoms. One of the ingredients is caramel color, which I have tried to avoid, because I have had averse symptoms drinking a Caramel Macchiato (I'm a Starbucks Barista)

I tried looking up the ingredients online, but couldn't find the specific flavor. Any thoughts on the caramel color, this brand, or has anyone else experienced anything adverse like this?

Thanks,

Fionnghuala

From what I understand, caramel color may or may not contain gluten. It's best to contact the manufacturer of the item ahead of time.

If you don't want to give up butterscotch pudding, try the Dr. Oetker cooked pudding and pie filling, the Butterscotch is free of gluten, milk, eggs, and all nuts!!!!

and it is wonderful....makes great pudding pops too!!!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
