Tropicana Ugh!

[mysecretcurse]

I got glutened by Tropicana the other day. Fair warning, their cranberry juice cocktail is not safe. I was dumb, they sell the cocktail in the exact same bottle as their 100% grape juice, so I just grabbed it at the gas station and didn't look. I drank half of it down before looking at the bottle and seeing "cocktail" "natural flavoring" etc. And being like "NOOOOOOO!" I was over ONE MONTH free before that, and my skin was healing perfectly. I also think I got glutened at a supposedly gluten free restaurant the day after that. I felt sick after both occasions, I think there was some cross contamination with the second thing.

Anyways, I had the stomach pains, bloating, gas etc. But unlike before, the Dh didn't start popping up within hours. I almost thought I got away with it, but no, yesterday, almost four days later, I began getting DH on my upper lip, and had another sore spot right under my nose this morning. Also, today and yesterday, I had the "hand tingling" feeling I used to get. My hands will feel sort of fuzzy and hot and weird and I get little red bumps on them. It's not quite a full Dh reaction, but it's from the gluten, Im sure of it.

Is it normal for it to take such a long time to present itself? I tried but cannot think of any other possible thing that could have glutened me between the juice and the restaurant meal, and now. I've eaten my completely normal diet. I'm not kidding when I say that before, within an hour or two Id be getting new DH lesions from gluten.

I guess this is a good sign right, does it mean the antibodies are leaving the skin in my face?

Here is a current listing of Tropicana Product and their allergens statements.

I suspect that your reaction was due to the restaurant and not the juice. I hope you feel better soon.

Where I don't think that Tropicana has specifically gluten ingredients, I have gotten very, very sick from their orange juice. There was a list I had for a while that I can't find right now that said that someone had information from the company that some of their plants had CC possibilities. I avoid all Tropicana products now. I don't know what the exact reason is, but their products make me ill.

I have been drinking tropican OJ forever. ONce and a while I will get heartburn from it, but only if I have it with the wrong type of food- I never had any other problems. I really hope it isn't CC'd because cant live without OJ in the morning
