I am not sure where this goes.... But I had to share with you guys, since I know that being gluten free I personally eat a lot of peanut butter on apples and rice cakes and such... so I had to share this....

I had TWO jars of contaminated peanut butter at my house that I have been eating from for weeks!!!! :huh:

Peanut butter recall affects Brevard County

Peter Pan, Great Value products with code 2111 are targets

FLORIDA TODAY, ASSOCIATED PRESS

and WKMG LOCAL 6 NEWS

ATLANTA -- A salmonella outbreak that has slowly grown to nearly 300 cases in 39 states since August has been linked to tainted peanut butter produced in Georgia, federal health officials said.

The affected jars have a product code on the lid that begins with the number "2111." The affected jars are made by ConAgra in a single facility in Sylvester, Ga., the FDA said.

Jars of peanut butter with that product code were found today on store shelves in Brevard County.

Lakeland-based Publix Super Markets said it getting rid of any potentially tainted peanut butter, and is inviting customers who bought the brands in question

There was no code on the lid... There's a number imprinted in the bottom of the jar 625-11. Does that look right? If so, I guess we're safe, huh? Half of the jar is gone, but I'd happily throw it away if it may not be safe.

If you send the lid back to ConAgra, they will reinburse you. I would rather, just get it out of the house.

Well, I live in New York and yup, you guessed it, I have 2 brand new jars of Peter Pan with the code #2111. Tomorrow is grocery day so I will see if the store will exchange them.

Both my mom and I have them...mine is half used, hers wasn't. I'm taking it back to the store to get reimbursed.

(Like I need salmonella on top of my other issues. Sheesh!)

Since you cooked the peanut butter, there is a good chance you killed any possible samonella. Most people don't cook it, they just eat it on bread or whatever. That could have been ugly.

Everyone should go read this article my mom just emailed me from her celiac support group:

Open Original Shared Link

How scary!! we have two jars of it in our cabinet! I am really starting to wonder if this is why I have been feeling so crappy. Maybe this has been my problem all along, not celiac? The symptoms look relatively the same, and I know I ate at least 3 jars of this peanut butter with this code that I brought from my home (we bought all 5 jars at the same time) while I was abroad in Australia, which is the same time when I started feeling the celiac symptoms. hmmm..... could this possibly prove to be the root of my problems? one article I found says that salmonella can turn into a problem with the intestine. anyone else have any ideas about this?

please make sure you check your peanut butter jars and throw any of the 2111 jars away!!!

Thanks for the info - you are great. I read this thread last night, but I didn't hear about the information on the news until this morning.

My brother and his son were wondering why they haven't been feeling well for the past 3 weeks. Thought it was the stomach flu that they just couldn't shake off. They heard this on the news and sure enough they had the peanut butter. The value one.

Boy that would get me so angry because they kept eating it. I wish it wouldn't take so long to find these things out.

Do you think that is causing all this stomach flu problems sweeping the nation. I told my brother to hang on to the jar incase there are problems that set in that will pop up down the road. Like damage done to the intestines (we all can relate to that)

I had two jars of the peanut butter. ONe almost gone and one just opened. My kids have been eating this stuff for months. I hope they are ok. I through them out and bought some Jif today.

Nice of them to inform us now, since it started in August.

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @mytype1diabetes, Your statement that your daughter has become itchy and has hair loss made me think of iron deficiency.  Those were the same symptoms i had when I was iron deficient.  Was she tested for iron deficiency anemia at the time of her diabetes diagnosis?   Seems in the early stages of iron deficiency anemia, blood glucose levels can be falsely elevated.  Treating Vitamin D deficiency can also help immensely.  Vitamin D deficiency, iron deficiency, and deficiencies in the eight B vitamins, especially thiamine, can occur in Celiac disease.  Changes in stool can be caused by iron or thiamine deficiency. I was diagnosed with type two diabetes and had the...

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By Wends · Posted

       So sorry and sending well wishes. Replying from the UK. The NHS Coeliac Screen test is igAttg (including total igA). Your toddler is unlikely igA deficient with a titer of 22, as a positive test. When the igA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies are raised above the reference value or positive, the endomysial test is performed. The TTG test is suggestive of coeliac disease BUT it can be transiently raised in type 1 diabetes, milk protein intolerance (common in early childhood. Can also cause malabsorption similar to coeliac disease). Can be slightly raised in other food sensitivity and food allergy and some other conditions. Whilst it is more specific for coeliac disease than the older...

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By trents · Posted

      Here is an article that gives an overview of all tests that can be used to detect celiac disease:    As you can see, the different tests vary in their degree of specificity and sensitivity. So, it is to be expected that if someone has celiac disease, not all the tests will be positive. Also notice that the tests break down into two large groups, IGA-based tests and IGG-based tests. There is also the EMA (Endomysial Antibodies) which is an older test and has largely been supplanted by he tTG-IGA which is less expensive to administer. So, when you report that the TTG score from your daughter's bloodwork is 22ku/l, we assume you are referring to the tTG-IGA test, which is the most popular test...

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry to hear about your toddler’s recent Type 1 diabetes diagnosis, and I understand how overwhelming it must feel to now be navigating possible celiac disease as well. The slightly elevated TTG antibodies (22 ku/L) with normal endomysial antibodies could indicate a few things—sometimes, mild elevations can occur due to factors other than celiac disease, such as recent infections or even Type 1 diabetes itself. However, the symptoms you’ve noticed (changes in stools, itching, and hair thinning) could potentially align with celiac disease, so it’s understandable why you’re concerned. Since the consultant wants to retest in 3–6 months, it may be because they’re assessing whether...

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By mytype1diabetes · Posted

      Hi all, Posting from the UK.  My 2 year old was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. In the UK they routinely screen for coeliac disease. The test showed slightly elevated levels of TTG antibodies. The consultant wants to repeat these antibodies in 3-6 months time to determine clinical significance. In our letter it said "marginally elevated TTG antibodies (22ku/l), normal endomysial antibodies". I'm not exactly sure what this means, especially given one of the tests were within the normal range, and if we should be worried about the numbers. It is difficult to know if she has any "symptoms" but at the time she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes I noticed that her stools had changed. They...
