Hi all and please feel free to add ur comments:

I have a list of wht hubby ate yesterday and need some answers if he got "Glutened"

He eats this every mornin and is okay with it:

Coco pebbles and Vitamin D milk (he eats 1 bowl every morn at work and does fine)it was on someones food list this site as being safe ;)

but he had another bowl after I left for the store <_<

Then later after I returned from the store had "CANDY"

Which I thought were safe? :huh: they r : they were on someones food list this site as being safe ;)

snicker (mini's) 3 musketeer (mini's) plain M&M's

Then he has 2 ears of home grown corn-on-the cob with gluten-free butter

Then I made spagheti which everytime in the past it made us both have severe belly aches after eating it (maybe the noodles) but I bought wheat free gluten free :(

The sauce I used read as follows :

Ingred's : RAGU 100 0/0 Natural <_< Ingreds:

tomato puree (water,tomato paste) dieced tomatoes, corn syrup, mushrooms, oinions, green bell peppers, sotbean oil, salt, garlic powder, parsely, basil, spices, Natural Flavor.

So was it the sauce or just a virus cuz son and he both have had a headache on and on for a few days ( they thought it was that they need new glasses) :huh:

Has anyone else used this sauce before or eatin these candies ?

Please if u can help let me know !

My local Celiac group gave us a warning before Halloween last year that mini-candy bars are not considered safe because, according to the manufacturer, they don't stop the equipment to clean between flavors. So crunch bars with malted rice and safe bars like plain chocolate have a certain amount of cross contamination.

Also, how long have your guys been gluten-free? Newbies tend to have a problem with dairy and the second bowl of cereal and milk may have caused problems too. But tummy and head, it was probably cross contamination from the mini-bars.

If anyone else sees another possibility, please jump in.

Thanks so much Karen :)

U r proly right on the money it had to be the candy bars :(

He also ate some of the 3 must. before I got home :angry:

He has never had a problem with milk or it's family , but I aways have .

So I took his candy bars away and told him he could still have his M&M's :D

He has been gluten-free since 2 months ago and only had 2 spells since 1. he ate soemthing from vending machine at work (animal crackers) 2. yesterday form candy bars

Thanks so much for shedding the light to wht was the culprit :)

I also e-mailed RAGU for any hidden ingred's .

Note for future reference that full size bars are okay, it's just the mini and bite size that have that issue. Don't lay a finger on his Butterfinger! :-)

BTW, Mi-Del Animal Crackers are really good and they make good bannna pudding cookies too.

Gluten Free Candy & Easter Candy

Notes: Please beware of candy that is not in its normal shape. Often times, that means the ingredients are different, and could very well contain gluten. Bags of mixed treats that do have gluten containing treats that touch each other should be discarded due to cross-contamination. If there is a treat that may not be listed on here, do not be alarmed just check with the manufacturer.

Have you cooked any regular pasta in your pot? Used your colander for regular pasta? If so, there might be gluten in there.

Not sure about the sauce. "Natural flavors" could mean anything. I usually use organic sauce or make my own because it is easy to make.

We don't go the candy here because of so many food allergies so I don't know about that but I do know that they say to check the ingredients on the mini ones because they might not be the same as the large ones.

----snip----

That's a good one I had forgotten. It would be almost impossible to get the colander completely clean of gluten from previous pasta. Also any wooden kitchen tools? I used to have a wooden spaghetti fork, haven't seen another like it since diagnosis. I didn't get the word about wooden implements and cutting boards until 6 months or so after the diagnosis.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You don't need an official diagnosis to request a gluten-free diet in either a hospital or nursing home--this can be requested by anyone. The higher costs associated with existing conditions for life insurance is a reality, and regardless of your politics, it could become a reality again for health insurance in the USA. For many this could make health insurance unaffordable, thus, everyone who is undiagnosed should understand such potential consequences before they go the official diagnostic route. As mentioned, once it's on your medical record, it won't go away.

      @Joel K If the OP is ever in the hospital, and her celiac disease tests did come back positive and she does have celiac disease, she can just tell the doctors that she needs a gluten-free diet because she has celiac disease. They will listen to her, in all probability. And honestly, celiac disease is not taken very seriously inside hospitals, to say nothing of emergency departments, where in any case, the pt may not be able to verbalize anything, and the staff have to act right then.

      It is illogical not to disclose a positive celiac disease finding to your doctor, particularly if you're 60 years old. Human beings generally begin failing in one form or another from 60 onward and you might find yourself as an in-patient in a hospital or at an emergency room. Drugs often have minute amounts of gluten and hospital and nursing home food certainly contains gluten.  Here's another scenario: Your doctor sends you for annual labs and your WBC count and others come back out of range.  I frankly think one should leave politics out of the equation when it comes to your health. (Insurance isn't about your health, by the way) Or go ahead and don't let your doctor know.  Only one person will have to deal with the results of that decision.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Thanks @Beverage for checking in!  I haven't changed the dogs' food yet.  I'm still working through some of the other issues that I need to remedy (transitioning to an anti-inflammatory diet, being sure to get only gluten-free certified items, and buying some new cookware for my kitchen).  Somewhere after that, I have on my list to try out the dogs on a new dog food, but I haven't gotten there yet.  In the meantime, though, I can definitely see that some of my worst days seem to follow when there's a possibility of gluten cross-contamination (I'm still working to cut waaay down on these instances) OR when I eat anything with dairy/ milk protein in it.  So I think I need to really get a better handle on my day-to-day eating habits to reduce all gluten cross-contamination into my food and also any dairy intake, and then at that point, I think I'll start moving over to the dog food thing.
