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!!!

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.

24 hours later, Annie is ok. Just thought I would post this, that not everyone will get ill. She should have had a reaction long by now.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
