Red Bob's Mill Flour Reaction


Lesliean

Recommended Posts

Twice now I have tried Red Bob's. Once gluten-free brownie mix and second gluten-free flour mix. Both times sick for days. Has anyone else gotten sick? I read there is an allowable level in gluten-free foods of gluten.

I'm feeling overwhelmed with everything I eat that contains gluten (or casein). Maybe it was poor Red Bob's Mill Flour (much maligned by me) or Vitamin E, Vitamin Fish Oil, baby aspirin? I was ill for days following spagittee sauce but I had put my much loved TVP in it and it also had a bit of cheese in it (and who knows what else?).

Thanks for the support. It gets easier, right?

;) it does get easier, but never easy---its always something we have to be very aware of--we always have to know exactly what we are putting in our mouths--can never take anything for granted--that's when we screw up and believe me--i know exactly what i am talking about---almost 4 yrs now and i still goof---but we cant be hard on ourselves cause we really have a mountain to climb---its not a gluten free friendly world, its getting better, but there is still much to do---but you do get used to it---------deb

I would hesitate on putting the blame on Bob's gluten-free Flour Mix. I have used it exclusively lately and neither my granddaughter or I have had any bad reactions at all. I use it to bake with and also to thicken with for gravy and sauce. Bob's is a quality company and there are LOTS of people using his products. I would look elsewhere in your daily doings or in what you have baked for your problems. I am so happy to have found the gluten-free flour mix as it is so very handy. I know other people like other mixtures that they make themselves and I may try those some day, but this one is so easy. Barbara

Bob's red mill has a dedicated facility for their gluten free products. On the package it is clearly listed gluten-free and is made in that facility, otherwise you run the risk of contamination if it is one of their other products.

Yes it does get easier so hang in there :D Bob's Red Mill's gluten free products are made in a gluten free facility as Jessica stated. If it says gluten free it was done in that facility. I have never reacted to this brand and find this brand very good.

Hi- I have had trouble with the flour replacements, especially amarath..can feel awful for 2 to 3 days. Chebe flour mix seems to be okay. Basically I have had to stay away from gluten-free bread of any sort (2 yrs gluten-free). Also have problems with any milk products, eggs, ect. also. I am blaming this on leaky gut following damage from gluten! Think the best thing is to listen to your body...it will let you know what you cannot tolerate. sjb-TX :)

I suspect the baby aspirin...I recently contacted St. Joseph's about their heart-healthy aspirin, which is an 81 gm baby aspirin and they couldn't guarantee that their product is gluten-free.

I've always had a problem with Bob's red mill. At first I was blaming everything else. Now i just don't use it....it's not worth it to me.

You also may be allergic to something else. I recently had YORK food allergy testing done..........and guess what? I'm also allergic to buckwheat! I know for sure buckwheat was in one of his gluten-free mixes but not in the other that I reacted to. I can't figure it out but I don't want to go through being that sick again so I just avoid the mixes.

Good luck

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
