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.

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.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
