Stock & Barrel Bulk Foods

Hi all,

I'm home in Toronto visiting for the holidays. My mother-in-law purchased some snacks for me for the plane ride home. They were all Stock & Barrel bulk foods products (packaged by Reddi Snack in Toronto, owned by JohnVince Foods): Toasted Corn (Chili Lemon flavour), yogurt covered raisins & yogurt covered almonds. The ingredients seem fine, but I've never been clear on the "rules" around powders. When I was newly diagnosed I was told to be wary of powders as well as natural & artificial flavours on ingredients lists and these products all list powders and artificial & natural flavours.

Has anyone eaten bulk products from Reddi Snacks or Stock & Barrel (or JohnVince Foods for that matter)? I emailed them, but my flight is tomorrow and I don't expect to get an answer before then. I don't have the time (or patience) to list the ingredients for all three, but I'll post the ingredients for the Toasted Corn. Input would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks!

Corn, Corn Oil, Salt, Maltodextrin, Spices, Onion Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Citric Acid, Garlic Powder, Chili Pepper, Tomato Powder, Natural AND Artificial Flavour, MAY CONTAIN Peanuts and/or Tree Nuts.

If it contained wheat I imagine it would be listed in the "may contain" section, however I worry about hidden sources of gluten in the powders. I think it's fine, but I don't want to take any chances, I'm already sick with a fever & cough!

Thanks again,

Jillian

I see this brand often and never remember to call - have you heard from them? I'm curious to their response.

Hi,

No answer yet. There was no website or phone number on the package, so I had to track them down through three different company names lol. I emailed them through the JohnVince website, not sure if I ever will receive a response. The ingredients seemed perfectly fine, so I tried a very small amount last night (after my flight, just in case!) and had no reaction. I think they're fine, but if I'm not 100% sure I like to hear it straight from the manufacturer.

I'll let you know if I do :)

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      Gluten related ??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
