Tofutti Update

I personally get sick when I eat tofutti products, saw some similar reactions in this forum. Thought it might be something else so I tried tofutti two more times after the first episode. I was then fairly certain something in Sour Supreme, Better than Cream Cheese and Chocolate ice cream was the culprit. This is the response I received from Tofutti regarding any of their products being gluten free:

"All of our products are always dairy free. We do not sell any of our products as being gluten free"

Needless to say I won't be retrying the products again. Although wheat is not specifically listed as an allergen on the label, I am reacting to something and it may be a gluten containing item not from wheat. Just wanted to pass on this important statement from the company for others to consider.

I use their Sour Supreme all the time and haven't yet had a problem. I'm really sensitive too. Just a few weeks ago my sons were eating a soft pretzel and we shared a bag of chips (my mistake) and that made me sick!

I haven't tried their ice cream, however they do produce soy ice cream sandwiches which have wheat in the cookie portion. This is enough to steer me away from their ice cream.

I have tried the cream cheese a few times without issue.

Perhaps you have a soy problem too??

I also use their Sour Supreme and Better than Cream Cheese and haven't reacted. I did, however, notice that one of the ingredients on the cream cheese label is "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" which can be sourced from wheat.

What a bummer. I've been a vegetarian forever and used to eat those. I haven't had any in the past six weeks since I started the diet, but had been planning to check on them when I got time.

Thanks for doing it for me.

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
