A Taste Of Thai Peanut Noodles

Dear Gluten-Free Friends,

I got very ill the other week and could not figure out why. I knew I had been glutened. Well, I discovered it may have been the Thai Peanut Noodles from A Taste of Thai. Dad brought them home and read the label before picking them up.

He did not read the second label on the box he picked up behind it.

The boxes were identical, and the first was labeled gluten-free. As I was putting them away, I read the ingredients as usual. One box had wheat in it! Dad could not believe it, because they were in the exact same packaging! I always read things before eating them. So, I was thinking if these things are made in the same facility and just do not have a warning, cc is a good possibility. I am mad! :angry: I wanted to warn others in case they did not know.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

I hope that you contact the company. I would be interested in their response.

I believe they have changed them all now to having wheat in them. The older boxes are gluten-free as the newer ones are not. I unfortunately have 2 of the new boxes I cannot eat. I figured that out about 2 months ago. I was PO'd person.

Dear sparkles,

I will contact them this week and see what they say. I have a bad feeling they were made in the same facility as the ones with gluten. :unsure: Thai Kitchen makes some great ones, but they have been nowhere to be found as of late. Wal-Mart does not carry the same products all of the time. I will let you know what they company says after I call them.

Dear Generic,

This is such a bummer! :( Just what we need! More things that we cannot eat! :angry: You are probably right about this. If they just began putting gluten in them, then only the older packages are safe.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

Dear jennyj,

I love them, too! I was so upset when I noticed the wheat! :( These are so filling! They keep me satisfied. Thai Kitchen is not always available. Wal-Mart carries on thing one week, then you may not see if for months.

I also am VERY bummed about this change. I went to buy some more noodles about a month ago and noticed the "new" ingredient (wheat). BLEH!! I LOVED those noodles. They were SOOOOO yummy. I just don't understand why they have to go and add wheat to them!! BOOO!!!

Dear Jessica,

I know, I could not believe they changed them! They are great the way they are! Maybe we could start a petition or something to get the wheat taken out? What do you guys think? Or, perhaps I should write a letter explaining how many people will no longer be purchasing their product due to the change.

Dear jennyj,

The noodles are addictive! I love them! Maybe writing the company will help fix this. These things are one of the few things that actually fills me up. Not many foods do that for me. I am almost always hungry!

I tried calling them the other day, it was a long drawn out process and I got annoyed and hung up. I guess I may have to try calling again when I have more time!! I LOVED those noodles.

Dear Jessica,

The noodles are so good! Why on earth would they change them? I assume it is a cost issue of some kind. Still, I am determined to find a way to let them know how I feel! I am going to point out that they are reducing their clientele by adding the gluten. There are 3 Million Celiacs in our country, on top of 10 Million more people who are gluten intolerant. If they know anything about marketing, they will change their mind!

Sincerely,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Reading labels at dailymed.com is simpler if you’re familiar w/ gluten-free list of inert ingredients (aka ‘excipients’  allowed by FDA.      www.gluten-free.com has that list & I’ve included It’s below…. Tricky ones for me are the “4 D’s“ because names are similar. These 2 are gluten-free by ‘legal’ definition— •Dextrans - Partially hydrolyzed corn or potato starch. •Dextrose - Powdered corn starch. Other 2 need to be questioned. (Maybe ok for isolated 7-10 day Rx,   antibiotic?,  but gluten-free status needs to be verified for long term / daily use for chronic condition, like thyroid or BP meds.)   These are : •Dextrates - Mix of sugars resulting from the controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. •Dextrins - Result from the hydrolysis of starch by heat or hydrochloric acid (from corn).  It can also be obtained from wheat, rice or tapioca.  (Maltodextrin on US labels MUST be corn so gluten-free.) Technically, ‘Starch’ on USDA ‘food’ labels in US must be from corn, & if not, the source must be identified.   In drugs,‘ Pregelatinized starch’ & ‘Sodium starch glycolate’ can also be from potato, rice, OR wheat.  Wheat is more likely to be found in products made outside of US (Europe) where corn is not the major(readily available & least costly) crop.     Hope this helps even though  learning sources of some gluten-free ones may make them less appealing. (And while the “Read every label, every time” for gluten is a pain, I’ve learned there are worse things than celiac dx—Allergy to corn would be at top on my list!)          Bev in Milwaukee From www.gluten-free.com EXCIPIENT INGREDIENTS IN MEDICATIONS  Aspartame - An artificial sweetening agent derived from aspartic acid. Aspartic Acid - A crystalline amino acid found naturally in sugar beets and sugar cane.  Benzyl alcohol - Made synthetically from benzyl chloride which is derived from toluene (a tar oil).

Dextrans - Partially hydrolyzed corn or potato starch. Dextrates - Mix of sugars resulting from the controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. Dextrins - Result from the hydrolysis of starch by heat or hydrochloric acid (from corn).  It can also be obtained from wheat, rice or tapioca. Dextrose - Powdered corn starch. Fructose - Obtained naturally from fruits or honey; hydrolyzed cane or beet sugar. Gelatin - Obtained from the skin, white connective and bones of animals (by boiling skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, etc with water). Glycerin - Historically, glycerin (also known as glycerol), was made the following ways: -  Saponification (a type of chemical process) of fats and oils in the manufacturing of soaps -  Hydrolysis of fats and oils through pressure and superheated steam -  Fermentation of beet sugar molasses in the presence of large amounts of sodium sulfite   Today its is made mostly from propylene (a petroleum product) Glycerols - Obtained from fats and oils as byproducts in the manufacture of soaps and fatty acids (may also be listed as mono-glycerides or di-glycerides). Glycols - Products of ethylene oxide gas. Hypromellose – A brand of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (see cellulose). Iron oxide (rust) - Used as a coloring agent. Kaolin - A clay-like substance.

Polyvinyl alcohol – A water soluble synthetic alcohol (synthesized by hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate). Povidone (crospovidone, copovidone) - synthetic polymers  Pregelatinized starch - A starch that has been chemically or mechanically processed.  The starch can come from corn, wheat, potato or tapioca. Shellac - A natural wax product used in tablet or capsule coating. Sodium lauryl sulfate – A derivative of the fatty acids of coconut oil.

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By NoriTori · Posted

      @Scott Adams  Sure, Any and all information is welcome. Also the only was to convince my family to get tested is to get tested myself and conclusive answers. Very stubborn lot.

      Understood. It's very anxiety-provoking when you don't know what you are dealing with and don't know if you are attacking it correctly.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      I have heard of NCGS, but everything is just so confusing!!! Just unsure of things as her EMA test was negative but TTG was positive @19u/ml(lab range 0.0-7.0).Apparently she also has occasional bubble like blisters in between her fingers, don’t know if that’s significant. She is triallling gluten free as suggested by the gastroenterologist after her endoscopy. Keep getting different answers when typing in her symptoms etc. Some sites say it can be possible to have coeliac, even with a negative EMA . It’s so frustrating and her anxiety levels are through the roof. I know she’s hoping it’s coeliac which is weird I know!!! But if it’s not it just means more tests. Sorry to ramble on!!!

      Rice Flakes

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I ame looking for rice flakes that aren't cross contaminated to use in making oat free granola. Does anyone know of a brand? Also I see that some people just used puffed rice cereal, but it seems like that wouldn't be sturdy enough to withstand the mixing without crumbling. Any ideas out there? Thanks!
