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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
