Trader Joe's Candied Ginger

I was at TJ's today and felt like trying some. It's not on their gluten-free (or "No Gluten Ingredients") list, but they say that list is a sampling - not comprehensive. The only ingredients are ginger and sugar. They're made in Thailand, apparently.

Anyone eaten them before?

I've been eating these little by little over the last two weeks, and I haven't noticed any problems. But if you're worried, I'd give TJ's a call.

Well, I've been eating them, too, and I feel confident that they're all right. The e-mail response I got from TJ's, though, was not encouraging:

"Our Trader Joe's neighborhood stores have a lot more Gluten Free

products then are just on the list. We are unable to place all of our

Gluten Free products on the list do to the amount of products we carry

and we are constantly shifting products when discontinuing and adding

new. If there are no wheat derivatives in the product then it's Gluten

Free. The Trader Joe's Uncrystallized Candied Ginger is Gluten Free."

If they think that no wheat = gluten free, we have a problem. (Not necessarily w/the crystallized ginger, but w/their whole gluten-free identification process.)

I tried to reply, but the "from" address is apparently one that cannot receive incoming e-mail. Not very consumer friendly, if you ask me.

      Frozen gluten -free meals

      Amy's has been my go-to for gluten-free meals for years. Her cooks need to have feedback--for example, the two enchiladas with authentic Mexican sauce, very tasty. The 1 enchilada w span rice &beans is a disappointment ...the enchilada is terrible with its collection of corn &green peppers instead of cheese and sauce. Not tasty at all.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      You also mentioned eating 10g of gluten for 2 weeks are longer do you think less then 6 weeks is ok? I heard 2 weeks gives false positives what about 4 weeks 10g whole wheat a day? I read 4 slices whole wheat equals to 10g gluten. Would eating 4 slices whole wheat bread a day along with elimination of other gluten suffice? Also do you recommend taking a...

      Hello again, @JessikaSwallow78! I think you already posted in another section of the forum. My goodness! You are dealing with quite a few health challenges!

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      Do you think a multi vitamin would be helpful! Also do symptoms got differently for everyone in regards to running to bathroom? I noticed regular oatmeal sometimes after eating or 1-2 hrs later I gotta go but on gluten-free no urgency. Sometimes I would eat 2 slices whole wheat and no issues for a few days so hard to pinpoint when it hits

I read 4 slices whole wheat equals to 10g gluten. Would eating 4 slices whole wheat bread a day along with elimination of other gluten suffice? Also do you recommend taking a multivitamin to play it safe or when I take the test ask for full vtamin blood test to see all vitamin levels and whatever im low in take that vitamin? Thanks

      Hello again, @JessikaSwallow78! I think you already posted in another section of the forum. My goodness! You are dealing with quite a few health challenges! Anemia and vitamin/mineral deficiencies are very common with celiac disease. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel and reduces the ability to absorb vitamins and minerals from the food we eat. The lining of the small bowel is the section of the intestines where these things are absorbed and this issue may also be causing your discomfort after eating.  Constipation and diarrhea are classic GI symptoms with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and you already have two autoimmune disorders, namely, Raynauds and Fibromyalgia. I mention this because autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. When you have one, you often acquire others with time. I think your next step is to get tested for celiac disease. The initial step of testing involves a blood draw from which they check for antibodies which are fairly specific to celiac disease. Ask your doctor to order these two lab tests, TTG-IGA and Total IGA (aka, Immunoglobulin IGA), when he/she does the blood draw. Make sure you don't start cutting back on wheat products in the mean time or you will invalidate the testing. Keep us posted.
