Glutened

[lonewolf]

I was out of state attending my aunt's funeral earlier this week and got horribly sick the day after the funeral. I usually don't eat pork, but the ham, sliced tomatoes and carrot sticks were the only things I thought were safe at the dinner after the funeral. I was actually fine that day - I had a small piece that was an "inside" piece. The next day we had more ham and I got a bit of the outside and noticed that it was crunchy and sweet. Somewhere in the back of my mind I told myself that I should have tried to find a label for that ham. About an hour later I got the first hint of a stomach ache. Not long after that I started running for the bathroom. Luckily it all stopped, except for the stomach ache that I still have, after about 24 hours and I did fine on my cross-country flight home.

I did a search here and found out that Honey Baked Ham is NOT gluten-free. So I'm pretty sure it was that since I hardly ate anything else the whole time I was there besides fruit, vegies and some safe deli turkey.

So please beware of Honey Baked Ham!

Hi Liz, and welcome back

Yes, you're right--the glaze for the Honey Baked Ham is not gluten-free. Thanks for the reminder.

Hi Liz,

Sorry to hear about your aunt and the glutening. I always forget about the deli trays so thanks for the reminder.

Ps-I would be crossing my fingers too on the flight

Yep, you have to be very careful with ham.....

I thought ham was out of the question for me anymore, but then I found this:

I am glad that this company lists the allergy info for each product that they have.

The Honey Baked Ham has wheat in the glaze. If you call one day ahead you can order a ham without the glaze. that is what I do - got one in the refrig now - & they are plenty yummy...

The VAST majority of hams are gluten-free. Honey Baked obviously is not and you should check any that are commercially honey glazed. Wheat will be the problem and it must be listed.
