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 have gone out and purchased a supply of bottles so at least I can have Caesars for awhile!!!!!

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

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      Help! My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac. Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls. I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase. Have they been discontinued?? Does anyone have another recommendation...

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      Welcome to the forum, @suek54, I have Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too. I found taking Niacin B3 very helpful in clearing my skin from blisters as well as improving the itchies-without-rash (peripheral neuropathy). Niacin has been used since the 1950's to improve dermatitis herpetiformis. I try to balance my iodine intake (which will cause flairs...

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.

That would relate to secondary adrenal insufficiency I think , ie AI caused by steroids such as taken long term for eg asthma. I have primary autoimmune AI, my adrenals are atrophied, no chance if recovery there. But I am in touch with some secondaries, so something to bear in mind. .  Niacin B3 Very interesting too. Must have a good read about that.  Im sure lots of questions will arise as I progress with dermatitis herpetiformis. In the mean time, thanks for your help.
