Rotel And Living Harvest Hemp Milk

Hi,

Recently i've been only eating safe foods that i know don't bother me and tried the rice and bean casserole recipe that was posted on this site (sorry, can't remember who posted it but it was so yummy... thanks!!) but the next day i woke up with a very sore stomach (like i do when i've been glutened). It only had rice, beans, corn, rotel and Cracker barrel sharp cheddar cheese. I've tried it two different times and both times it bothered my stomach. I have been avoiding dairy lately so maybe it was the cheddar cheese but i haven't been eating tomatos so maybe it's the tomatos in the Rotel i used - maybe too acidic for me right now? I'm ok eating potatos and red, green and banana peppers so i don't think i have a problem with nightshades. My Dr. back in July suspected SIBO and i'm waiting for my health food store to get in some probiotics to start taking again (i took VSL#3 for a while but it seemed to be bothering my stomach). I've cut out anything sweet (including Larabar's, kind bars, etc.) for the last week and a half because anything sweet seemed to bother my stomach also. I feel much better w/out sweets (my treat/dessert recently is natural organic peanut butter on a few Mary's Gone Crackers...yum!)

Also, i bought some Living Harvest plain hemp milk and tried it with a smoothie and i seemed to have gotten glutened from it - it was the only thing i ate different so i'm pretty sure it was the milk. Has anyone else had this experience? I did find a thread on here that the hemp milk may contain small amounts but the Hemp protein powder doesn't. I hope this is true because i bought some hemp protein as well but i've been too chicken to try it! :P Eventually i'm going to try drinking milk and see how i feel and then take lactaid and drink it to try to determine if it's the lactose or the casein or hopefully neither. Before going gluten-free i thought i was lactose intolerant but after being gluten-free for a while i tried the Breyer's lactose free vanilla ice cream and it didn't bother me.

Thanks for any information...this site has been a life saver for me! :)

I use Living Harvest vanilla hemp milk every day, and I've never had a problem with it.

I also use Living Harvest every day. It's one of the half a dozen packaged products that I can actually consume without issue. You may be sensitive to hemp. It took me months to figure out that I have a delayed reaction and that the last things I'd eaten weren't the cause of my reaction so maybe that's what is going on with you? A food journal might help you pinpoint a pattern and identify the source. Best of luck!

I use Living Harvest Hemp all the time without any issues. If it had gluten I would get vertigo and a headache. No problems.

Thank you all so much for your replies. Maybe it is just a sensitivity to the hemp or a delayed reaction of something else. I was really bummed thinking it was the hemp milk because i thought i might have found a milk i could use that was very healthy and good and they have it at my local Kroger. <_< How long does it last after opening? I think it says on the carton to use within 7-10 days of opening and i opened it last week. I wanted to maybe try it again when my stomach feels better from eating the Rotel but it may be bad by then. I'm thinking the spicyness/tomatos from the Rotel bothered my stomach but not sure....i won't be eating Rotel again anytime soon. Janet - thanks, i'm going to start back doing a food journal. Thanks again everyone. :)

You can freeze the milk, just put it in some watter bottles but leave a space at the top for it to expand.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      I had both the genetic genes for celiac. My gastroenologist advised he also took a biopsy during one of my colonoscopies and endoscopy and advised I had celiac disease, along with stomach ulcers from my esophagus stomach down to my small bowel. I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report. I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large...

      So, I'm a little confused here. I understand you to say that you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this correct? You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity...

I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report.  I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large bowel. I was on a strict diet for months following.  I am sorry if I didnt define how I was diagnosed with celiac disease.  I am sorry if you think I was misleading you. I also had to pay $150.00 for the genetic testing.

      So, I'm a little confused here. I understand you to say that you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this correct?  You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity". Just so we are clear about the terminology, there is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They are not the same but they have overlapping symptoms. Celiac disease causes damage to the small bowel lining but NCGS does not. NCGS is often referred to in short form as gluten sensitivity. However, people often use the terms celiac disease and gluten sensitivity interchangeably so it can be unclear which disease they are referring to. Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has one or both of  the genes that have been most strongly connected with the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. This makes the genetic test useful for ruling out celiac disease but not for diagnosing it. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because it doesn't permit the scope to go up into the small bowel where celiac disease does the damage. They use an endoscopy ("upper GI) for checking the small bowel lining for celiac damage.

I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test. After looking on the internet about my sufferings I insisted on the gene trsting which showed positive for gluten insensitivity and a biopsy on my next colonoscopy that also showed positive which could not help the damage done to my small bowel. So I very rarely have a glass of wine

      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.
