Korma Sauces

[lbd]

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up on this product. I made some curry with the Seeds of Change Korma sauce. It says Gluten-Free on the jar. I had some at dinner, then some again at lunch the next day. By 3:00, I had a gnawing pain right about where my heart lies. I went for a walk with my neighbor and the pain got worse and worse. I began to think I was having a heart attack. However, if I relaxed, it would lessen some, so I didn't think that was it. However, in the past, when glutened, I have had these same strange pains in other areas - lower back, right side of back, shoulder blades, etc. so I waited it out. It did get better the next day, but then I had D and lots of stomach noises all day. I usually have an iron stomach. Finally, today, four days later, I am feeling somewhat back to normal, with just a twinge left of the pain. I couldn't figure out what I ate that had gluten because I am usually so careful. I decided to check out the sauce online and here is what it says:

Water, heavy cream* (milk*), coconut*, onions*, evaporated cane sugar*, tapioca starch*, sunflower oil*, sea salt, lemon juice*, garlic*, cilantro*, ginger*, turmeric*, coriander*, cumin*, cayenne pepper*, paprika*, cardamon*, cinnamon*.

GLUTEN FREE**

**This item has no added gluten to the ingredients, but is manufactured on lines which produce items that do contain gluten. A thorough cleaning of the production lines is done between production runs (hot water / sterilization / high pressure air). Although we follow good manufacturing practices, we are unable to guarantee that the lines are 100% gluten free when our products are run.

Dang it! It says gluten-free, but everyone knows that hot water does not affect the gluten protein, so if it is on the line, it is probably still enough to CC. I am pretty certain that is what caused the problem. I don't want to test out the remainder to find out - in the trash it goes. I also bought their Tikka Masala sauce - says gluten-free on the label, but same thing on the website.
