Hot Dogs Or Marshmallows?

I cannot find a hot dog that does not cause problems. WEllshire gluten free all beef are the latest attempt--now i'm dealing with the usual gluten meltdown. It's either that or the Kraft jet-puffed marshmallows, with blue #1. But they have never caused this reaction before.

anyone else experience problems with either one?

thanks,

Liz

I found that we have been getting glutened from Kraft shredded cheese. It is the only thing that my daughter ate regularly to cause her numbers to stay elevated. Anyway the reason I am telling you this is that when I talked to Kraft they stated as always that the clearly marked gluten on their packages but when I pushed further about cc they would not garuntee that anything they make is gluten-free. They just said that the mark the packages. Although I have talked to them a few different times and the answer is always just a little different. However this last time they wouldn't committ to anything, when I took her off of Kraft cheese, her numbers, which we have been struggling with for awhile now, drop 30 points in one month. Good luck and I hope you find some answers.

We've been okay with the Kraft marshmallows (but haven't had them in a little while). We eat Jennie O Scooby Turkey hot dogs (they say gluten-free on the package).

There is some chemical in some processed foods that I have a horrible reaction to. Maybe all the hot dogs you've tried have one thing in common?

Make sure it doesn't say "modified food starch" on the ingredients list. ALmost all brands do. I can't remember what kind I normally buy - but I do know we have never had a problem when we avoid the "not sure" ingredients like "food starch, spices, flavorings.etc..." pretty much anything that is not listed outright. WE have never had a problem with any kind of marshmallow.

In more than 7 years I've found just one hot dog that wasn't gluten-free, and that was Nathan's. The wheat in it is clearly marked.

I've never found a regular marshmallow that isn't gluten-free.

That's not a guarantee that there couldn't be CC. Few facilities are completely gluten-free, although a number of lines within the facility might be. In addition, manufacturers obviously don't have complete control over any ingredient they don't make themselves.

If you want a hot dog that is ok, try the Hebrew National. I never have problems with those.

"Make sure it doesn't say "modified food starch" on the ingredients list. "

In the U.S. modified food starch from wheat would have to list wheat. I guess that technically it could be made from barley or rye, but I've never seen it or heard of it. MFS is almost always corn or perhaps tapioca.

We've tried 3 different kinds of hot dogs (Hebrew National, Ball Park, and I think the first was Boar's Head - all gluten free) and my son has had diarrhea the next day. As we've only been gluten-free since Dec. and still learning every day, I wasn't sure if it was really the hotdogs or if it was something else. After the last try I have decided there's a pretty good chance there is something in hotdogs that doesn't agree with him (I don't believe any of the hotdogs had gluten from CC or otherwise, but something else he doesn't like). He's never been a huge hotdog fan and still isn't, so it's no big deal for us. I just thought I'd pass along our experience.

Thanks for everyone's thoughts. I don't think it's a gluten thing with the hot dogs...most hot dogs list "spice" or "natural flavorings" and this is where i'm guessing it's an MSG issue with my daughter. I've looked at the ingedients for Hebrew National and I can't remember what it was but I know there is something in them that I wouldn't buy...

My daughter reacts alot to food colorings...usually red and yellow, and I think there's only a little blue#1 in marshmallows...but I'm guessing that's it, combined perhaps with the "spice " in the hot dogs she had that day.

We also both had gluten-free brownies from whole foods last week that were delicious, but gave us both irritability...they use soy flour so that was probably the culprit there.

It gets tiring always trying to figure out which little ingredient is causing the problems besides gluten!

I buy uncured beef hotdogs. I don't remember the brand. There are two that I've seen. Don't have any at the moment to look.

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.

      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      @plumbago, Are you taking any folate with your B12?   Folate helps regulate HDL levels.  You may try taking a methylfolate supplement with your B12.   If there's a folate deficiency because you aren't absorbing sufficient folate, or have the MThF mutation causing a functional folate deficiency (methylfolate trap), you can have a functional B12 deficiency despite supplementing, resulting in HDL levels not getting regulated, but running high or low.   Pushing the envelope in explanations, too. P. S. Are you taking a B Complex?  Folate and B12 Cobalamine need enzymes made from B6 Pyridoxine's interaction with Thiamine, and B2 Riboflavin's interaction with Thiamine.  Is your Vitamin D low?

      Thank you for all that helpful info, does that mean it’s not a good idea to do what I’m doing? Or since it’s only been a week should I see if I could get her tested now? Would it show up still since it hasn’t been long if they tested her?
