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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
