Always Read Labels (twice Or Thrice)

What happened to me tonight just goes to show that you CANNOT be too careful. Came home really tired and hungry and started to make spanish rice and taco meat. Grabbed the package of "corn" tortillas from the fridge and melted some cheese on them. Just about to start piling the stuff on when my husband says, "Those are NOT corn tortillas, they're flour." I said "No way" as I had bought them at Ttrader Joe's and was CONVINCED that I had read the labels. They were even the same size as the corn tortillas.

He made me get the package out of the fridge and look at it. The "flour" in flour tortillas was covered by the price label. I had just quickly picked them up and assumed they were corn.

GOOD wake up call to always read labels (and listen to your hubby because sometimes they actually Are right :P !). Public thanks to my DH.

Trust me I know! My hubby & I went to the beach overnight (for our anniversary) and got glutened from the sausage we brought w us (we brought all our own food)! The sausage was gluten-free last week, I was grocery shopping w my neice (and I was distracted) and so I didn't re-read the package. DOH!!!

I'm glad u avoided it!

Always read the packages!

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Our Functional Medicine doctor has always ordered the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies.  It tests the intracellular levels of the nutrients, not blood levels.  When high dose, targeted supplementation did not resolve the deficiencies after retesting at 6 months and then a year, he ordered genetic tests.  I have a genetic inability to process Vitamin D, B12 and antioxidants, so I am on high doses of those for life.  The rest of the initial deficiencies resolved within 6 months to a year and a good multi vitamin is sufficient to address those.  My husband has historically had high homocysteine levels and his low folate, B 12 and B6  levels are because of his MTHFR gene mutation.  Always good to get to the root cause!

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Idnam! Ranitidine and Famotidine are not proton pump inhibitors. They are H2 blockers. It is true that histamine intolerance is common in the celiac population. We often don't produce enough of a histamine regulator called DAO (diamine oxidase). Not sure, but this may be due to damage to the gut lining by celiac inflammation. You might also want to research MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) as it is often goes hand in glove with histamine intolerance and is actually the root cause. Or, at least that is my understanding. By the way, you can purchase DAO capsules but there is not clear evidence they work.

      Very interesting, @Idnam.  When I was experiencing this problem at its worse, I found high carb meals like lots of rice or too many cookies were a trigger.
