Nightshades And Corn Starch In Hellman's Mayo.

Nightshades and corn starch in Hellman's Mayo.

I saw Hellman's mayo now has potato/corn starch listed in the ingredients on their Canola Oil Cholesterol free mayo. Potato is not listed on their web site nutritional info, but I have seen it on the labels in a couple of stores around DC now. This is a change as their ingredients didn't used to list these starches. They list corn starch on the web but not the potato.

Just a heads-up in case you are avoiding nightshades or corn, this mayo might not work. This is also one the few mayos that are soy-free.

Ingredients listed online are:

INGREDIENTS: WATER, CANOLA OIL**, VINEGAR, MODIFIED CORN STARCH**, WHOLE EGGS AND EGG YOLKS+, SUGAR, SALT, LEMON JUICE, XANTHAN GUM**, (SORBIC ACID**, CALCIUM DISODIUM EDTA) USED TO PROTECT QUALITY, DL ALPHA TOCOPHERYL ACETATE (VITAMIN E), PHOSPHORIC ACID**, NATURAL FLAVORS, CITRIC ACID**, OLEORESIN PAPRIKA, BETA CAROTENE** (FOR COLOR). GLUTEN-FREE.

** INGREDIENT NOT IN MAYONNAISE

+ ADDS A TRIVIAL AMOUNT OF CHOLESTEROL

Damn, damn, double damn. Why didn't they just go ahead and put soy in while they were about it? :blink: I guess there are more, cheaper, potatoes around than corn now that they have started making fuel out of it. Can someone figure out a what to make fuel out of potatoes? :lol:

Well at least I will still have my BLA sandwiches (that's a modified BLT to you, substituting avocado for tomato). I mash the avocado and use it spread on the toast instead of mayo and sandwich lots of bacon and a bit of lettuce between - prefer it now to BLT's ('cos I don't have BLT's :P )

AND, I have started putting white wine vinegar in my tuna salad with a little cream and sour cream mixed because I have been trying to avoid canola oil. Now this is the final shove!!

That BLA sounds yummy! I will have to try it sometime (with turkey bacon since I'm allergic to pork :ph34r: ). I have never been a big fan of mayo anyway. I love avocados! I was getting Smart Balance mayo to experiment with making dairy free/soy free creamy dressings but recently I noticed Smart Balalnce has changed their ingredients to include soy. It used to just be canola oil and sunflower oil. What is it with companies changing ingredients all the time? :huh:

Why must companies change a perfectly good product? Even if I can still eat it it might not be the same. I was traumatized as a child when they changed my favorite cereal and the texture was never quite riight!

I have read that but I have never actually found the one that is soy free and dairy free. My stores carry the other ones. For baking I mostly use coconut oil or palm oil shortening now. If I want toast I spread with peanut butter, apple butter or jam.

Try some cream, sour cream and a little vinegar.

Mayo is super-duper easy to make. It just takes a few minutes. I'll get Kelsy to post a blog on it eventually. In the meantime, google mayonnaise recipes and I'm sure you'll find a good one. :)

So now they are ruining the mayonnaise experience for some of you. I am terribly sorry. :(

It's the same thing with cosmetics and toiletries.

I swear marketing departments are run by flacks who are rewarded for exhibiting the most evidence of short attention spans.

_________

Spectrum Canola Mayo Ingredients (says Gluten Free on the jar label) :

canola oil, eggs, water, honey, distilled white vinegar, sea salt, mustard, lemon juice concentrate.

Does that help anyone ?

For the chicken salad I would go to an olive oil and vinegar dressing. You could probably mix in a little bit of coconut milk. I've faked ranch type dressing before, so this would just need some sort of thickener, could be done in the microwave to warm it up then add the oil.... thinking.... maybe I should add a sig line that says outwitting food manufacturers since '03.

Thanks Takala, I'll keep an eye out for the Spectrum mayo next time. I don't use it a whole lot except in guacamole. But I found n the guacamole is fine without it anyway.

Found that one last week - now I have to keep hubs away from it (actually, don't think he likes it much, which is good).

As promised, my partner finally blogged home-made, lacto-fermented mayo. You can find our blog linked from my profile. She includes cayanne in the recipe, which is a nightshade - but you can just leave it out. I'm copying the text in here:

Lacto-Fermented Mayonnaise

I hated mayonnaise growing up. Hated it. And who could blame me? Soybean oil,

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease...

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      Let me suggest an adjustment to your terminology. "Celiac disease" and "gluten intolerance" are the same. The other gluten disorder you refer to is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which is often referred to as being "gluten sensitive". Having said that, the reality is there is still much inconsistency in how people use these terms. Since celiac disease does damage to the small bowel lining it often results in nutritional deficiencies such as anemia. NCGS does not damage the small bowel lining so your history of anemia may suggest you have celiac disease as opposed to NCGS. But either way, a gluten-free diet is in order. NCGS can cause bodily damage in other ways, particularly to neurological systems.
