Bob's Red Mill

[Anglgrle3]

As im still learning all the brands and and reactions to everything, i had read how bobs had effected many people so i was staying away from it untill i learned more about my personal reactions and what to expect.

well my wonderful sister was trying to be sweet and make dinner that everyone could eat. So she read the labels at the store and saw it said gluten free on it. well...

exactly 1 1/2 hours after dinner i had awoken the beast (my tummy was making all kinds of noises again), i felt like there was this wierd fog over my head, i was dizzy, nausiated, got htis horrible taste in my mouth, and felt completly limp and couldnt control my body. Then i had to rush to the bathroom! a few hours later i wanted a snack so i ate some leftovers, not thinking that the glutenfree dish was the one that bothered me. exactly 1 1/2 hours later BAM! exact same thing!

the good news is, i know me and bob arent such good friends for the future, and i have offically learned exactly what being glutened is like for me! the bad news... i have to tell my sister what made me sick so she wont use it again! BUT... since she has gone gluten free (out of support for me) the rash and upset stomach she has had for many years has almost instantly cleared!!!!

Awww....sorry that you got glutened by Bob!! I haven't used many of Bob's products, so I don't think I have been glutened by them. I hope that you are feeling better today!

I was using a lot of Bob's Red Mill products in the beginning, but kept getting glutened from them... Their facility does process gluten containing products as well albiet in a separate part of the facility, I still think maybe they just can't keep it 100% clean... I do know they test down to so many parts per million and say that the level for their gluten free products is less than that, BUT... since so many of us have had reactions, I would have to say that is not good enough and they need to be aware that is not good enough.

I just looked at two free samples I had been given by Bob's (to make up for glutenings) and they both are also labled Kosher, so I'm wondering if that will help, although I am still afraid to even try it.
