This is a reponce from violet packing, They make sauces for resturants. One of them is a delicious pizza sauce called don pepino they used to use it at a pizza place i went to. after reading this statment from them would you eat it ig you were me ?

It is the policy of Don Pepino Company to obtain our raw materials (tomatoes, salt, corn oil, and spices) from approved sources. It is possible that in the growing, processing, and handling of these items, they may have been exposed to conditions that introduced gluten-containing material into them. While this is very unlikely even with the best Good Manufacturing Practices, we cannot say with absolute certainty that our products contain no gluten. As you can see from our ingredient list (available at our website) there is no ingredient by itself that would contain gluten.

Am I the only person that thinks that these kind of responses have been on the rise since the McDonalds Fiasco, or am I just opening up a can of worms? :P

I'd eat it, BTW.

I don't think it has anything to do with the McD's situation, but it most likely has to do with the new labeling law. I think it is pretty lousy, but it is just something we have to deal with.

And I would also be okay with eating the sauce and feeding it to my daughter.

(My boys won't touch any kind of sauce with a ten foot pole! They don't even like to sit next to someone eating sauce! They won't touch any kind ofcheese either, unless it is gluten-free cheesecake! "It isn't like it is real cheese."-Ben :P )

I agree that these responses are on the rise, but... Let me clarify that... I think the majority of the "new" CYA statements are coming from companies that pretty much just ignored us before or didn't understand how serious the issues were. I think the whole McDonalds thing may have been a God send for us. It really brought things into the public eye. I know that I had several e-mails from friends telling me that there was now gluten in the fries. These people had never even heard about gluten before I was diagnosed. Anyway, I'm rambling, my point is that I'd rather have a company give me a CYA statement than I would have them tell me it's safe when they really have no clue.

BTW, I'd also eat it.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.
    • knitty kitty
      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.
