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. :(

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
