Got a quick question...

I tried a rice dish (riscotto?)...anyway, it was made by Lund..something or other. It was the creamy garlic I think and I topped with parmassean cheese...with these vague details does anyone happen to know if it is gluten-free? My hubby took out the trash before I could get up here with the box for details. :rolleyes: I don't even know the full name of the company to google it. Does anyone know what I'm talking about??? It tasted great, and I hope I didn't just accidently gluten myself. Thanks to anyone who can clue-me-in! -Julie

Julie, anything 'creamy' is suspect. It's risotto, by the way. I have no idea if it was gluten-free or not, and I'm afraid you'll have to just wait and see. For your sake, I hope it was gluten-free!

I googled it -- it's Lundberg.

Here are the ingredients, looks like you got lucky, but no more taking chances, okay? They used rice flour as a thickener ... I mean, who uses rice flour??? Looks like a lucky break to me!!

Ingredients:

Nutra-farmed California arborio rice, Parmesan and cheddar cheese blend, salt, natural flavors, buttermilk powder, onion and garlic powder, cane juice powder, butter powder, whey powder, rice flour, dehydrated parsley, autolyzed yeast extract, black pepper, turmeric, expeller pressed safflower oil (less than 2%; added as a processing aid).

Edit -- that is the Creamy parmesan one

Do know that risotto homemade is easy and can easily be made gluten-free! As a chef...you use only onion, olive oil, arborio (or other specified risotto rice), chicken stock (gluten free of course) and butter and parmesean cheese. If you want to flavor it - you can add any sorts of veggies (I love it with pureed butternut squash or peas) or even ham, shellfish - whatever you can tolerate. The type of rice used forms a "creamy" sauce through its starch that makes it the ultimate comfort food - so if you are ambitious (it can take a little time to prepare), its worth it!

Thanks everyone! I had the box of risotto on my "gluten-free" shelf in my pantry. I only put things on that shelf that I know (or have found discussed on this forum) to be gluten-free. What had me concerned was that I saw "natural flavors" today... I've had the box for awhile. I've never even heard of risotto before (obviously forgot I bought it)...so I assumed that I must have wanted to try it because it was discussed as yummy and gluten-free on our forum. I appreciate the feedback! -Julie :)

P.S. It was very yummy actually! ;)

Thanks for your suggestions! I was wondering today what I could add to it! B)

All the Lundberg stuff that's gluten-free says so right on the box. The creamy parmesan is just fine. I eat thier boxes rices all the time. It has replaced Rice-A Roni in my life. Yum.

Just a suggestion: for the sake of your own health, from now on ask before eating rather than afterwards, when it may be too late.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?
