Tropicana Ugh!

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. :angry: 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 :(

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
