Sojo Fish & Chips

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?!?!?!?!?!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
