I made some risotto last night and added some of their gluten-free onion soup to it and had the typical symptoms- insomnia, soaking night sweats and nausea. Has anyone had cross-contamination problems with them before? I feel yucky!

I have never had issue with their soup before. However, if I remember correctly (sorry if I am off) you are very sensitive? I am sensitive but I can have some products that you cannot, like nut thins (that is if my memory is right and that is very shaky these days). Is there a cya statement about wheat in their facility?

PS-Sorry you are sick, feel better soon!

HEZ!!!!! Hey there- yes, Ii am very sensitive. Here's their statement:As part of our overall quality program, we have a food safety procedure designed to prevent the cross contamination between products that contain gluten that are run in the same production line as gluten free products. We include the following in our protocol.

1. Before any product can be run in the plant, all ingredients need to be identified for gluten or allergens.

2. Suppliers are required to submit gluten free statements.

3. All ingredients are kept in their own allotted space and well marked in the warehouse. Ingredients containing gluten are kept separately from gluten-free ingredients.

4. All equipment shall be thoroughly cleaned prior to running gluten free product.

5. All Plant employees are trained for control and prevention of allergen and gluten contamination when they are first hired and annually.

Sounds pretty good, but you never know. :(

Nut thins and Amy's has a decent protocol as well and you still got glutened. Could it be anything else or was the only thing? Hopefully, you are feeling better and will have a good night's rest.

I haven't had a problem with them - but I did almost buy an item that I thought was gluten-free from them but was not.

Sorry you aren't feeling well. I have had problems with Amy's in the past - to the point that I just stopped eating any of her products all together - but with cross contamination in even small amounts I tend to get sick.

No probs with Pacific's Soups, though.

Hmmmm.............

Yeah- I had ginger frozen yogurt from a small company which I contacted and they have the same protocol for cleaning the equipment as Amy's (which unfortunately still made me sick!) so I think I have my answer.

FYI....Amy's rice crust pizza and gluten-free mac and cheese are now made in a dedicated facility!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I still can't eat 'em because I can't tolerate soy :P But I do cheat on the legume thing occasionally. Had an Amy's pizza awhile back and voila...NO REACTION! I was so happy!

Hi Bev :D

Sorry you got sick--the only Pacific soup I use is the Free Range/Organic Chicken Broth. I use it often, and have not had any problems.

I am very sensitive and I use Pacific soups all the time and I have never had a problem. I don't ususally eat things that are produced on the same lines as gluten so I'm pretty sure I would have researched them and found them to be safe. I know you posted the guidelines for dealing with cc.

Hope you feel better.

Thanks. I do feel better- I am 99% sure it was the yogurt. Small companies are harder because they tend to have fewer production lines. :(

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      By RMJ · Posted

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
