Just curious on everyones opinion on Bob's Red Mill products. I am newley diagnosed and have made several BRM products and have gotten sick on all of them!!

I made the cake-got super sick

I made the bread-got sick

I made the pizza crust-you guessed it got sick. the only two things i used from BRM that didnt hurt me were the pancakes and the brownie mix.

What gives!!!!!! I find myself getting so discouraged. I feel like i am groping in the dark. Are there some good books maybe?? I dont know how to keep myself healthy!

Read the labels on the packages and see if any of the ingredients are different. This might give you a clue as to what's bothering you.

Since you are still new to the gluten-free diet, look for how much dairy and soy you are eating. Some people need to avoid these while they heal.

Myself as well as many others react from Bob's Red Mill products...

I react to the BRM whole-grain bread, but so far, that's it. I haven't tried much of their stuff, though. I tend to go for Pamela's when there's an option.

I had problems with BRM years ago before they changed their factory, and their cc issues. I buy the packages that are clearly labelled gluten-free and I have not had any problems in the past year. Try to figure out if there is one ingredient bothering you. I couldn't eat dairy for the first year or so of being gluten-free. For some reason, tapioca bothers me.

I suppose i will try reducing my dairy intake and i will be certainly staying away from BRM from now on. Thanks for the help everyone!

I really love Bob's Red Mill and think they make some great products. I think it can cause some problems for people because they use a lot of bean flours, and the added fiber creates some upset in some people. And I think beans are something that some people are more sensitive to than others.

I actually just had the pizza crust tonight. I loaded it with toppings, and sometimes when I go a little overboard I get digestion problems.... What else can you expect from cheese, peperoni (hormel's is gluten-free), sausage (Jones breakfast sausage, pepers, onions, garlic, and more cheese. It's a lot to handle, and sometimes I dive in without remembering to take a digesting tablet. (Enzymedica Digest Pills)

That's the only time BRM pizza crust bothers me... but I highly doubt it is the crust. hehe

I totally agree Wendy! For me, I am also intolerant of soy and think that I cross react with the bean products and guar gum that BRM uses since they are all legumes like soy, thats the only thing I can figure out as to why I react to their products.

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
