Well, It Figures!

I posted before about the one thing that I most mourned when I had to go gluten free was Clamato Juice because I used to LOVE having my weekend Caesar (it's a Canadian concoction with vodka, clamato juice, worshesthire sauce, tabasco sauce and celery salt, sounds weird, but it is delicious!!!!) Anyway, I almost cried when I e-mailed Motts and they replied that it was NOT gluten free. :(

I was at the A & P supermarket a couple of weeks ago and read the ingredients on their name brand clam juice. It was different than Motts so I thought, "Hey, maybe........." :rolleyes: I e-mail them and this is a reply:

Dear Mrs.

Our Corporate Brands Department has informed us that the Master Choice Tomato Clam Cocktail Regular does not contain "Gluten" 1.89L. :lol::lol::lol: But, the product will be updated shortly and unfortunately the recipe will contain gluten. The label will be updated at that time to reflect the formulation change. :angry:

Thank you for your patience.

I don't get it...why do they have to change the formula? It just doesn't make sense to me that they have to add wheat or another form of gluten to the product. Oh, well...stock up! Maybe temporarily clear out one of the kids' bedrooms so you can stack it up :lol:

Hi there, Karen,

I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed reading your post...seems that you are in touch with your feelings about all of this...

One thing I am learning is that I MUST keep applauding myself for continuing to accept that liife is diffferent now...

I am different...healthier...and that's all that matters...

Food is food...there will always be some great things that I can eat...

But, health is health...

Food now only REALLY matters to me if I know it won't hurt me...

I'm glad that you will get a little 'withdrawal time' from your favorite drink...perhaps you can find a new favorite that is 100% safe for you? Maybe even someone you'll like even more?

Love, Gina

:)

Hi Gina!

Well, the way I figure it, ranting and raving over the unfairness of this disease is not going to change one crumb..... and since one of my continuing symptoms is fatigue (some days much worse than others......), I am not going to use up any energy in being angry at the situation - I don't have much energy to go around!!!!

:D

Actually, I have pretty well gotten used to this diet - I don't even think twice about things I used to have all the time before (except my Caesar, that is!!!!) <_<

@ Karen, maybe you could stock up a lot of these bottles. Then buy the ingredients and try to mix it on your own. And then just always go back and forward and compare, until you mixed it with the "right" taste of the original. I know, things like that can make you angry. It would have made me a lot angry, too. But isn't that a good idea?

Hugs, Stef

I'm already a pro (I am a Caesar connoisseur :D ) But because of the fact that the main ingredient (the clam juice) was off limits to me, I could no longer make my beloved "weekend drink"..... After a long week, there was nothing better than having a weekend bbq in the backyard and have a nice cold Caesar drink with it!! B)

Oh well, at least I should be able to stock up enough to last me through this summer (I wonder how long of a shelf life they have, how long can I store it before it is no good any more :huh: )

Hey celiac3270, now that we have moved to a house where the girls can have their own rooms, things are much more peaceful in the household..... :P If I put them back together again, there would be World War III for sure!! :o Eileen is into AC/DC and Pink Floyd, guitar lessons, etc. and Rhiannon is still in the Dora the Explorer stage...... Nope, the two don't mix!!!! :lol: Even if the drink was the elixir of life, it's wouldn't be worth it!!!! ;) I can store a bunch in the basement though..... :D

      I found some articles that illustrate the immune reaction to casein and gluten. Bovine milk caseins and transglutaminase-treated cereal prolamins are differentially recognized by IgA of celiac disease patients according to their age https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19290628/   Gliadin and Casein Metabolism: Synthesis of Gliadomorphin and Casomorphin and Their Biological Consequences https://www.researchgate.net/publication/397908713_Gliadin_and_Casein_Metabolism_Synthesis_of_Gliadomorphin_and_Casomorphin_and_Their_Biological_Consequences   Effects of milk containing only A2 beta casein versus milk containing both A1 and A2 beta casein proteins on gastrointestinal physiology, symptoms of discomfort, and cognitive behavior of people with self-reported intolerance to traditional cows’ milk https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4818854/#:~:text=Results,lactose tolerant and intolerant subjects.   Casomorphins and Gliadorphins Have Diverse Systemic Effects Spanning Gut, Brain and Internal Organs https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8345738/   Brain Opioid Activity and Oxidative Injury: Different Molecular Scenarios Connecting Celiac Disease and Autistic Spectrum Disorder https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7407635/

      Ijmartes71 I  son't think you are crazy by any psycoligical s=defination but you are obsessive. you may have considerable brain fog  , a problem that affects celiacs and many other people. . With this obsession you have abd being braun dogged you arw not abke to take any advice people are giving you to help you. To take advice you need to reduce your anxieties abd think more clearly. .Stop taking your herbs for at least one week because some of them will have side ellectsif you take them too long. You can add them back if you don't notice any good changes. Be more careful about being strictly gluten free.

      Just to say that I too was hesitant to come off dairy products completely @dsfraley.  Milk, yoghurt and soft cheeses definitely caused bloating.  This bloating gave me rib and pelvic pain, and I remember  the pain was so horrible at times it was almost a sick feeling., kind of like the sort of aches you get with flu.   Milk, yoghurt and soft cheeses also gave me diarrhea, but I noted I could still eat small amounts of hard cheese like cheddar without any issues. Re: milk, my gastroenterologist told me at that time that I could just by lactofree products, and should be fine, but when my gut was still very damaged they went right through me regardless. Thankfully I am able to tolerate milk very well again, although I have noted that too much of it can have a slightly laxative effect. The other thing that made me feel off were heavy iron supplements, which contributed to bloating and diarrhea.  In the end a GP told me to take ferrous gluconate, which is a much gentler supplement, with water an hour before breakfast in the morning.  That was helpful.  If your son is supplementing  (which needs to be under medical supervision as too much iron can cause issues) Floravital fruit syrup is another alternative, but make sure you don't buy Floradix as it contains gluten. Lastly, all oats, soya products and certain pulses also made my stomach sore.  Apart from the oats (which need to be certified 'pure' aka gluten free ones) I was able to eat these things again some months after adopting a gluten-free diet. I would say keeping a food diary might be worth a try, noting any negative symptoms following eating.  Patterns start to emerge which might otherwise be difficult to identify.

      Anyway, I have no problem with grass fed milk other than the price.  Maybe I should move to Ireland or New Zealand.  They're the only countries that don't feed grains to their cows to increase milkfat and milk volume. A side note: I just came back trom the vascular surgeon about the scan of my carotid arteries done last week.  A year ago I had over 90% stenosis in the right artery and 80% in the left.  Tcar procedure done in the right with a stent.  The results today were right side downgraded to Moderate stenosis and the surgeon did not expect to see as much improvement on the left. (untouched). I must be doing something right.  Recheck in six months.   Mucosal reactivity to cow's milk protein in coeliac disease This paper proves that cassein is the protein in cow's milk is the trigger but the study did not differentiate as grass fed milk.  I haven't found any studies specific to grassmilk. The study does not differentiate alpha or beta cassein.  Google says: some clinicians speculate that grain-based proteins could potentially pass into the milk, though scientific studies typically find no detectable gluten or gliadin fragments in bovine milk regardless of the cow's diet. So given alpha cassein as the trigger, grass fed A2 cassein; thought to be easier to digest and less likely to trigger the specific inflammatory pathways associated with standard commercial dairy; plus the omega 6:3 ratio of grain fed milk is 5.8:1 vs grass fed ratio of 1:1, grass fed milk is less inflammatory.
