Sojo Fish & Chips


Lillyth

Recommended Posts

I bought a box of Sojo FIsh & Chips at Whole Foods.

It says gluten free right on the box - TWICE!

Yet it says is contains malt viniger, which, I thought was NOT gluten-free.

Sure enough, 10 minutes later (now), I have that tell-tale headache right in the middle of my forehead, like a band is across it. A sure sign (for me) or being glutened.

Thoughts? Was that just a dumb thing for me to do, seeing "malt viniger" as an ingredient & buying it anyway, just because it said it was gluten-free? Am I just causing this reaction psychosomatically? Do I need to call them & let them know their product is NOT gluten free?

What's a girl to think/do?

Do you have a website or # for the brand? Malt vinegar isn't gluten-free. Was it mixed in or in a separate package?

OMG!!!

I just got of the phone with Joe from Sojo Foods - he is SO awsome!

Despite the fact that according to the tests the Canadian Government conducted (that have a zero parts per million standard) the product contains no gluten, the company is altering their recipe from using malt vinegar to using regular vinegar.

He is also contacting all the stores that carry the product and letting them know one of the customers had a rection to that product.

I can't believe it! Even though I am the only person to notify them of a reaction, they are changing their recipe!!!!!!!

Do they not just ROCK?!?!?!?!?!

      Oh yes I can understand the tiredness after going threw all that, must be exhausting especially on the mind I have high aniexty so I can understand that , I wish there more easier ways for people to get help , I had a MRI on my spine some years ago without anything it was really quick and no prep , I understand the need for  them to see better with the bowel ,but you think they would use something a little less traumatic  for ibd sufferers on the bowels by now ,I hope your feeling better today 🙏

      I wonder if tingling burning feet are part of it.. I'm not sure if it's the med reaction that people with gluten intolerance get or the food we ate  It's frustrating because a person who did not want to admit to himself I had this condition wanted me to eat this chicken sandwich and now I'm stuck with a variety of symptoms plus now I'm hungry on top of it..  I'm new to this so I forget that "one bite" of the wrong thing can hurt us.😔. Do we stop eating if someone exposed us to gluten ??  My stomach is rumbling but my joints hurt ...  It's weird because I can feel the anxiety coming on.  I get joint problems ,  I don't know if anyone ever got hot flashes?? I suppose if it affects people head to toes you can get that too.   It's weird...hard to decipher what is what.   Also how long do I have to deal with this attack??  Makes me feel like not getting up out of bed.  I get too many symptoms which  horrible.  Thank you for your response..

      as my last post stated, i was diagnosed via endoscopy on the 14th of june. i have been eating amazing home cooked meals, luckily, mainly cooked by my boyfriend who is extremely careful about contamination (and is an incredible cook at that). however, i find myself in a mental rut still. being 18, this is the time in my life where i should be exploring things, going out, having fun. yet every corner i turn i'm tortured by the amazing smell of something i can't have anymore. the wonderful sight of such yummy foods. it's near torture. if my boyfriend and his friend who lives with us buy something i can't have, they'll usually eat it outside of the house or the car or wherever we are - which is greatly appreciated - but even seeing a burger or chips or a sausage roll in their hands guts me almost beyond repair. i just wanna have it again too. i miss it. i feel left out and it makes me very sad all the time. it's not their fault. they are allowed to eat whatever they want to, whatever their intestines will allow. it just stings, bad. and i feel so ungrateful given i basically have a private chef who is doubly the love of my life. but it's just so hard. i know i'll adapt. i haven't given up hope.i just wanted to vent. thank you for reading

      Thank you. I must have misinterpreted a study or something. Thank you for the clarification. Much appreciated. Almost three years into my celiac diagnosis and I'm still learning new things.
