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 hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
