Mom's Spagettii Sauce

Does anyone know if Hunts Tomato Sauce is safe to use or not? Mom made sauce for Lasagna tonight and used Hunt' Tomato Sauce. Luckily she did not also use Western Families Italian Paste, as when I just looked at it a minute ago, I found that it contains Wheat Gluten. Those cans are now marked to remind the parents that they are unsafe. I know there is a book that lists products that are safe/ unsafe, but is there a web site that has listings too so my family and I can use them in our shopping?

The plain tomato sauce is safe. Not sure about the spaghetti sauce. I know it has something in it we are allergic to. Or maybe it's just too high in carbs for us.

As for a list... I wouldn't think that would be a safe thing to do. Manufacturers change ingredients all the time. Better to read each label each time than to rely on a list.

There are lists here and there online (someone posts one on this board every now and then) but like was mentioned, there is no substitute for reading the labels. There is a company called Clan Thompson that makes one you can subscribe to that you run on your computer. They check things regularly and have updates all the time. It costs money, buts its the most up to date on a regular basis that you're going to get. I used it extensively my first couple years, and now and I just read labels and use google, but as a beginning tool, I highly recommend it.

Also, Hunts Tomato Sauce in the can is just fine.

I use Hunts tomato sauce in a can all the time and have never had a problem. I think Hunts it is a ConAgra product, so it will list any gluten on the can.

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
