HI ALL THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM A LETTER I SENT TO SOMEBODY WHO GAVE ME gluten-free CERTIFIED SAMPLES.

READ ON..

OMG! i cant believe it i was reading the labels right, and guess what is in some of these products? wheat.. yes. here is how it is listed:

AND it is the 1st thing on the label list which means that there is the most of it in the product:

SPECIALLY FORMULATED WHEAT STARCH* THEN AT THE BOTTOM IT SAYS- CONTAINS LESS THAN 200 PPM (0.02%) GLUTEN, WHICH IS CERTIFIED AS SAFE FOR CELIACS ACCORDING TO THE EUROPEAN UNION CODEX STANDARD..

WOULD YOU GIVE THIS TO *****? NOT BEING MEAN. JUST A QUESTION.. THIS STUFF IS IMPORTED FROM NORWAY, DIST. BY A COMPANY IN IOWA..

SO WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?? WOULD YOU? I DONT KNOW IF I WANT TO TRY IT OR NOT.. MY DAUGHTER IS A NON SYMPTOMATIC.. ADVICE PLEASE..

THANKS AGAIN ALL

LYNN

There is no way in this world I would eat that! Here in the US, they are pushing for a limit of 20 ppm on foods labeled gluten-free. Some think that is too much!

I wouldn't give it to anywone with Celiac. It just isn't worth it.

I wouldn't eat anything with wheat starch! A lot of people would get sick from that product.

I was wondering if there'd be any discussion about Toro on the board.

I went to a Gluten-Free and Allergy Expo last weekend, and I was encouraged to try some samples made with Toro flour. AFTER I ate a piece, I looked at the ingredients of the flours and was horrified to see "wheat starch" there.

I was really surprised that the Expo allowed the vendor to pass out samples without warning about the ingredients. I never would've tried it if I was warned...even if it is "certified" gluten-free.

BUT I don't think it made me sick. I already had a dh outbreak and it didn't get any worse since this weekend, and I didn't experience the usual day-after-contamination-trainwreck.

I've had it. It's delicious. I wouldn't make it my regular bread but I could see using it occasionally. 200 ppm is like 1/5 of one red marble mixed in with 1000 blue ones. You probably breathe in that much gluten walking by the bakery in the grocery.

The countries that are producing theses products are decades ahead of the US in celiac research.

Don't eat it if you don't want to. But, be sure to educate yourself about current research before you make your choices! :D

Considering I get neuro symptoms from walking past the bakery and near the flour aisle at the grocery store, I wouldn't touch that. Not a chance.

I did eat it and I didn't react as far as I can tell, but if I saw the ingredients before tasting the sample, I wouldn't have touched it. So maybe that's more of an emotional response rather than a rational one.

Does anybody know if these Toro products are widely used by the European Celiac community?

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.
