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.

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.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
