Reaction To Certain Ingredients?

Hello everyone!

I am curious to see if anyone else has had my experience.

I have been eating Bob's Red Mill bread mix made with my bread machine with no problems at all. I have been using Food for Life brown rice tortillas as a wrap for lunch with no problems. Pamela's baking mix (which rocks by the way) also causes no issues.

Last week, Earthfare was out of the tortillas so I decided to try Kinnikinnick sandwich bread that was in the frozen section. I have been soooooooooo sick! :(

I can't figure out which ingredient is the culprit. There are even some kinds of gluten-free pasta that just kill my stomach when I eat them.

Anyone else ever experience this and have any thoughts?

Thanks!

Well I can't eat most of KINNIKINNICK brand stuff because of the egg content or the risk of egg cc as I am allergic to egg as well as gluten. I looked at the difference in ingredients and noticed there is A LOT MORE STUFF in the KINNIKINNICK brand in comparison to Bob's and Pamela's bread mix! I am not sure which ingredient but if you look... the risks are alot more to choose from. I have problems with many of the prepackaged breads.

KINNIKINNICK:

Ingredients: Water, White Rice Flour, Whole Eggs, Tapioca Starch, Potato Starch, Sugar, Sunflower Oil (May contain Sunflower and/or Canola Oil), Cellulose, Yeast, Dextrose, Glucono Delta Lactone, Sodium Carboxy Methylcellulose, Cellulose, Salt, Pea Protein, Sodium Bicarbonate, Mono and Diglycerides, Vitamin Blend(Thiamine, Vitamin B2, Niacin, Folic Acid, Iron ), Sodium Stearayl Lactylate

Bob's Red Mill gluten-free bread mix

Ingrediens: Garbanzo Bean Flour, Potato Starch, Corn Starch, White Sorghum Flour, Tapioca Flour, Evaporated Cane Juice, Fava Bean Flour, Xanthan Gum, Active Dry Yeast, Potato Flour, Sea Salt, Guar Gum, Soy Lecithin.

Pamela's Baking Mix:

Ingredients

Brown rice flour, white rice flour, cultured buttermilk, natural almond meal (may appear as brown flecks), tapioca starch, sweet rice flour, potato starch, grainless and aluminum free baking powder (sodium bicarbonate, sodium acid pyrophosphate, potato starch), baking soda, sea salt, xanthan gum.

I hope you find what it was and I hope you feel better fast!!!

We certainly are individuals aren't we. :D I have no issues with Kinnickinnick or Pamela's but Bob's makes me curl up in a ball from the pain. I don't tolerate either the bean flour or the sorghum well. I also get ill from soy. It binds me up for days. The bottom line IMHO is that if it bothers you stay away from it. Many of us do have issues with different gluten free ingredients and it can be a chore to figure out what it is that is causing the issue.

I can't eat any of the three :angry:

I'm sensitive to tapioca and legume (pea protein, garbanzo and fava flours, etc). I stick to the Gluten Free Pantry mixes that don't contain those. There are quite a few that don't, actually :)

Soy flour is another thing I watch out for.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?
    • Fayeb23
      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…
