Bob's Red Mill Pizza Crust Mix

For the first time I tried Bob's Red Mill Pizza Crust mix on Sunday night...woke up feeling bleh on Monday morning and had pain issues throughout the day, didn't sleep well last night and am really tired today. Seems like a glutening but the ONLY thing different or new that I've had in my diet over the last few days is one slice of pizza made from that mix. It was a white pizza with a little olive oil, mozzarella and some herbs/spices (from Penzeys and I've used the blend before so I doubt they are the problem.) The pizza pans are brand new and the pizza was cut with a knife that's been scrubbed/used previously with no problem for me so I doubt cross contamination can come into play. Has anyone else had a problem with this mix or other products from the same company? I'm not opening that bag of Bob's Red Mill Quinoa since I'm feeling a little leery at this point. Thanks!

What's IN the mix?

Check the label. Could be an ingredient is not agreeing with you. (do not assume CC okay?)

I use BRM products all the time without a problem, BUT I recently discovered that I feel yucky, get a stomach ache and have allergic responses when we use any BEAN flours in our baking. Hubs tried Garganzo bean flour in our bread recently and I felt awful from it.

I know that BRM mixes often contain Garbanzo and Garfava or Fava bean flours. I put 2 and 2 together and just took those out of my lineup to see if that's the culprit. (but I am pretty sure it is as I do not tolerate soybean or lupin bean flour either). I love the BiAglut corn pasta--but the lupin bean flour made my throat and mouth burn. I tried their crackers--same result. (Corn and I are fine so I know that's not it. :) )

On Sunday, I made cookies for hubs with BRM all-purpose mix--and I tasted a few. It did the exact same thing. Stomache ache, felt yucky and stuffy and burny in the mouth! I read the label---bean flours! That was enough to convince me.

Just suggesting here! :)

Could be the xanthan gum. I wasn't able to tolerate it either for along time until more healing could take place.

I can't use the BRM pizza dough mix, because it contains cane sugar. I have a diagnosed allergy to cane sugar which causes me palpitations and nausea. So you could be allergic to almost anything. OOOPS. Just noticed you used real mozzarella cheese on your pizza. What about dairy or casein? That's a common delayed reaction (IgG or IgA mediated) allergy, more common than cane sugar. I can use any of the Bob's Red Mill products which are clearly labeled gluten free (and don't contain any of other 6 allergens) without reaction.

I've used the pizza mix just last week without any problems, and I run towards

the very sensitive side of things. I second the xanthum gum or the mozzarella being the likely culprits, rather than cc in the BRM. I've NEVER had a problem with any of their products.

Some of us react to gluten free oats. I can't tolerate any BRM products because they process the oats in the same plant.

I'm the same way as raven. Can't tolerate because of the oats.

Thanks for all the replies...Ingredients are listed as: whole grain brown rice flour, potato starch, whole grain millet, whole grain sorghum flour, tapioca flour, potato flour, evaporated cane juice, xanthan gum, active dry yeast, sea salt, guar gum.

I'm 5 months into the gluten-free diet and I've only just started to introduce some replacement foods. God only knows what might have set me off. I'll have to compare this list of ingredients with a couple products I've tried successfully.

I don't think it was the cheese because in the last 3 weeks I've reintroduced dairy (cheddar and mozzarella) into my diet and haven't had a problem with them other than a little gut gurgle the first time as if my body was saying, "Hey, what is this?!?!" I intentionally didn't put a lot of cheese onto the pizza and only had one piece from one of the pizzas (I made two from the mix.)

I haven't had oats since before my diagnosis in August 2011 -- I have always detested oatmeal. *shudder* But I used to make my own granola and never seemed to have a problem.

I now understand what the doctor meant when she said the first 6-12 months is a steep learning curve in terms of the diet!

oh, it sure is! :rolleyes: It's a roller coaster ride. <_<

Millet is tough to digest. For me anyway.

Could be just a glitch. Try it again later?

I'll probably try it again in a few months just to see if I have the same reaction...

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
