I purchased Primal Strips, a Meatless Vegan Jerky product from Primal Spirit Foods. THe package clearly states Gluten Free on it. It lists as an ingredient (Gluten-Free) Soy sauce (Water, Non-GMO Soybeans, Wheat, Sea salt) how can this be listed gluten free. Glad i ate 2 bites before reading this. Anyone else ever had this problem?

That's whacky. I'm not familiar with the product but I suspect the labeling is wrong. Can you contact the manufacturer?

I'm finally that guy, "Help, I've been glutened!" I can joke now kinda, but i know the cramping is probably on the way.

I'm thinking that the company doesn't understand what "gluten-free" means. I don't think I would trust any of their products.

Please let us know if the company contacts you back and let us know what they say.

This is just maddening! I had issues yesterday and took pepto on the advice of someone here and it made me feel so much better! I mean I was still ick but at least I could take my daughter to her dr. appt that had been scheduled for a month.

Hope you feel better quick!

I hope you don't get too sick. :( I'd report them to the FDA. That label is illegal and dangerous.

Perhaps it has such a small amount of soy sauce that the gluten content is below the legal ppm limit to be considered a gluten-containing item? Sort of like McDonalds' fries that have wheat but can be called gluten free (not trying to start the Mcdonald's debate up, just using it as an example). That's all I can think of...

I thought about it. I think i will wait to here from the company and give them a chance to respond. I went back to their web page and looked at their labeling, and they currently do not advertise to be gluten free. They have also removed wheat as an ingredient in their soy sauce. I will wait to here back from them, i saved the package. Maybe i can get some free GLuten free jerkey out of it!

I suspect you are right. But i do wonder why on the web page it is no longer listed as gluten free. I will know soon enough. It's been about 7 hours since the incident and this is where i usually start getting the bad pain. So far nothing too unusual.

Nothing too bad at the moment. A little dizzy and my favorite, GAS!. But no major cramps yet! I really appreciate the genuine concern, and love coming on here for help. What a battle we face dailly just trying to live normal lives.

I will certainly update as soon as i here from the company. I have left them emails on both the company website and their facebook page. Voicemail too.

God bless

Thanks for pointing this out Bryan. It does always pay to check the ingredients, even if they do put gluten free on the front label. Some companies have no clue it seems.

THey called me back and said that they have removed the wheat from the Soy suace even though they have had it tested for Gluten. She claimed they had a process that removes the gluten from the wheat during fermentation.

They however do not list their product as gluten free but say that it is. ?

I will say it was deeelicousss!

      Untreated celiac

      Bananas are rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc and B vitamins.  One of the first successful treatments for Celiac Disease used banana as the main carbohdrate energy source. quick, easily digestible energy, easier on sensitive stomachs and offer more potassium, which can help replenish electrolytes lost through sweat.”   I clean and separate the banana from the bunch and store in the refrigerator.  The outside peel may turn color, even black, but the banana inside does not get overripe so they can last a long time.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Treen · Posted

      I only intend to do the blood screen. I also fully intend to remove gluten from my diet whether the test is positive or negative.  I’d just like to know, even if it’s inconclusive, if Celiac might be the cause my life-long gastrointestinal distress. If the test is positive, I’ll assume that I probably have Celiac, like my sister. If it’s negative, I’ll assume that I may have a gluten intolerance/allergy — or not.  My quest will end there. My belly problems don’t render my life insufferable. My sister’s diagnosis (positive blood and biopsy) just made me curious whether I have Celiac, too. Either way, I’m done with gluten as soon as I give the blood sample on Wednesday 👍🏼

      Keep in mind that a celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps: 1. blood antibody testing and 2. if there are positive antibody test scores, an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining. You have only mentioned the first in your strategizing.

      There are about 8 grams of protein in an egg and also in a cup of milk. About 90 calories in an egg and around 100 to 120 calories in a cup of milk, depending on the fat content. To increase your calorie intake with food items that are also nutritionally dense, concentrate on seeds and nuts. They are high in fat content, so lots of calories, but also rich in vitamins and minerals. They are a moderately good source of protein as well. Black molasses is a good source of calories but not such a good source of vitamins and minerals so don't go overboard on it. It is somewhat better than table sugar from a nutritional standpoint, however. Spirilunia and moringa powder I am not familiar with but I doubt there is much calorie value there and it is refined so I doubt that they would be a great source of vitamins.
