Thai Kitchen Noodle Carts

I bought a few of these because they were on sale and I love the noodle soup bowls they make. The first one I ate I got that wierd hunger pain thing, but thought maybe it just wasn't enough food. I ate another one yesterday and had some popcorn as well ( which I eat constantly). I was driving later in the day, when the sharp hunger growl pains came back ( they're like hunger pains but really violent and sharp) and I got the feeling that I was going to throw up, Nausea, sweating, that heavy throat feeling. I pulled over, and got out my car and spit up about a gallon of bile into a trash can. Not throw up, just bile. I felt better, but was still mildly queasy for the rest of the night. Not going to eat any more of these, but was wondering if anyone else has had a reaction to them?

If it helps, I do know that the Hot and Sour Thai Kitchen is not gluten free.

Did you eat that one? It looks exactly like the other soup bowls, but that flavor is hazardous to a Celiac's health! :)

No, this was the noodle cart, its not soup, its just rice noodles with seasoning. You heat the noodles in hot water, then dump the water out and mix in the spices. The Pad Thai one and the Garlic one are labeled Gluten free.

I eat the Pad Thai one with no problems. Do you have any other intolerances?

E,

Sorry about that -- I don't have a clue...

I tried the noodles once, but I did not care for the taste. Now I just use them whenever I make stir fry (not using their sauce/seasonings -- Blech!)

Hope you feel better!

Possibly, but I haven't been tested for anything else. It must be something in the seasoning packet, because I eat rice noodles all the time with no adverse effects. This was a very specific reaction that I've never really had before either. I'm going to investigate the ingredients further.

Adding-- I just re-read the ingredients. Theres nothing in there that I don't eat on a regular basis in all kinds of other foods. This is wierd. I've been limiting my nightshades, not eliminating completly, just eating in moderation, but theres none of that there.

There's some funky stuff in that seasoning packet. I never feel good when I eat those. I'm also soy intolerant/allergic, but I think it's more a matter of some sort of weird hydrolized something or other that just doesn't agree with many people.

I have been eating those for years and now that I am gluten-free at least once a week and have not had any problems with them. Sorry! I hope you feel better fast!

Well, I just bought a big package of those at BJs, but haven't tried them yet. I hope they don't make me sick since I bought so many, but I will let you know!

BTW, what are nightshades? I'm still new to this....

I got sick from those too. Just like you said, I got the really hungry feeling first and then the "D".

This sounds like the same issue I have with bouillon (sp?). I finally threw all the little cubes and jars out as they made me feel ill and gave me D, although it's an entirely different feeling than being glutened. I, too, couldn't find anything in the ingredients that I thought I should be wary of. As someone else mentioned, maybe something hydrolized causes the problem.

After throwing out the little boullion cubes I went to using organic broth made by Imagine (comes in boxes) or Whole Foods 365 brand and have had no issues with either. I like the organic stuff -- I can pronounce all the words on the label :)

Nightshades are a family of plants including peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and eggplant. It seems like it's another pretty common allergen on this board.

I think that I have reactions to hydrolyzed stuff as well as to maltodextrin. I try not to eat products with either of these things in them.

I eat both the bowls and the noodle carts probably 3 times a week, and never have had a negative reaction. They've really been a godsend...they are one of the cheaper prepared gluten-free items on the market. I can't remember if they have the "prepared in a facility which processes wheat, etc." warning on them or not. Do you think it could be cross-contamination, since we know that the hot and sour definitely has wheat in it?

That's been one of my main ways to stay alive this summer here at college since I can't eat too much at the Student Center (which has a Subway, McDonald's, Taco Bell, Tuscan Kitchen, Starbucks, and Freshens Ice Cream...and it's not really an option for me to live off salads and ice cream).

I haven't had any problems from it (at least I don't think I have). Maybe the reaction could be to a particular spice or something unrelated to the disease. Beats me. Or some celiacs are more sensitive than others?

I don't have any other food allergies/intolerances however when I had those a while ago I felt really sick immediately after eating it. I think they are just way too spicy for me.

I have had issues in the past a few times--I think it is a mix of the heavy flavorings, additives, sodium etc. for me.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
