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.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.

      I have had the tTG-IgA blood test my result are >250.0  I am waiting for the appointment with the gastroenterologist for endoscopy and biopsies.    what are the chances it’s not coeliacs.  waiting and not knowing is so hard. Especially the eating of gluten knowing it may be causing you more harm and coping with the symptoms.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?
