Sick From Spag. S., Stewed Tom, Tvp, Lip Medex?

Checked the TVP with Bob Red's, the spag. sauce with Hunts (garlic onion, and garlic herb), and have an e-mail in to S&W (costco) stewed tomato italian style. Checked lip medex with a website. What could have made me sick? Or is it just a sensitive stomach to TVP-it did give me lots of -you know. But this morning constipation and bleeding for the first time in 2 months. What do you think? Thank you!!

Grrr. Just read at www.geocities.com/HotSprings/ Spa/4003/gluten-free-contaminated.html - 14k that Hunt's gluten-free spag.sauce causes symptoms in some people. Did you have problems? Also, Spice Hunter's spices are milled on cleaned but not dedicated equipment. Should I throw them out? Still waiting for e-mail from Bob's Red Mill about TVP. Can you branch out from gluten-free label and trust the ingredient's list-like on TVP which says only soy beans?

Does anyone remember when the new law concerning listing all ingredients goes into effect and what it covers? This getting sick on unlisted ingredients, contaminated and crosspollinated products makes me want to go back to polenta, nuts, fruit, vegatables, corn tortillas, sweet potatoes, and nothing else. Doesn't sound too bad, does it?

Yea--I've heard complaints about Hunts...the ketchup, but maybe they have contamination issues that cause problems with all of their products.

I know it's not practical for everyone, but I've gone all organic now to eliminate these problems. I just don't want to deal with them anymore.

jknnej-I try to eat alot of organic things whenever I can. I'm not completely organic but I think it's a good way to go :D

I used to be a big soy eater - including tvp and veggie burgers. I started getting sick a few months ago and now gluten-free for 4 weeks. I find that I can't do any soy at all without getting sick. Even mayo and potatoe chips that are cooked in soy oil. The gas is extremely bad and I get constipation. My sister is the same way - we have both noticed it. I buy organic as best I can and look for soy as well as gluten in everything.

I'm hoping that when my stomach heals more, I'll be able to do diary and soy again. I miss the dairy most of all. Diary makes me really sick. I don't eat meat, so my diet is limited.

Hunt's ketchup, eh? No wonder I've had problems! And I thought it was morning sickness! Oh, this makes me so mad! :angry:

Oops, nevermind, it is Heinz. must be morning sickness afterall! :rolleyes:

Does organic go bad faster?

Be careful, I have heard Heinz "organic ketchup" has gluten.

Anyone else know if this true?

I will e-mail the company.

In my experience:

Raw meat, fish, eggs - no - if kept as recommended

Raw veg & fruit - hardly ,,

Fresh cooked things - no - ,,

Processed goods - no ,,

Checking whether there is some preservative substance (which can be as simple as salt, sugar, or cider vinegar), and checking whether it is recommended it be refrigerated/kept cool, or consumed within a certain date, can help you decide how long things will keep, which is only more important for organic goods insofar as they may be that bit better to begin with, and for us as we need to be careful with our food.

I emailed Heinz a while back and they gave me an okay that their Katsup was gluten-free. I really hated to give Theresa Heinze-Kerry any of my hard earned money but if it is gluten-free, so be it.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
