Okay, there's a headline on CNN.com about this stuff: Open Original Shared Link

And here's an article:

Open Original Shared Link

This about.com article discusses the enzyme itself shouldn't be a problem but the "product" can contain things that may be an issue. Open Original Shared Link

This definitely looks like it can be a problem for milk intolerants since some of the Activa products contain milk protein. And if the maltodextrin is produced with wheat, or if some varieties do contain wheat (sounds like it's used to bind wheat noodles so we wouldn't be eating any of that).

I guess we now need to ask if the meat is "glued" at restaurants and although I already read my meat labels (screen out injected solutions) it looks like I need to dig deeper.

YUCK!!!!

I had no idea they did this....

Am I the only ignorant one out there?

Gah! The thought of those brown and serve sausages(my hubby loves those) came to mind..hamberger patties..chicken patties. I didn't know this product existed. :o

Ugh.

First "pink slime", now this.

Not a happy consumer, am I!

Making more and more of my stuff from "fresh"...I get some really great hand-made sausage seasonings (for Italian and breakfast sausage) from a Open Original Shared Link, as well as ketchup spice blend. Have made a lot of my own tomato sauce from my own tomatoes.

Thinking now about growing my own cow. :ph34r:

And hey, I see the manufacturer is Ajinomoto which is, I believe I have read on at least one related site, the number one maker of MSG! Awesome! :ph34r:

This might also explain why I was having reactions to store-bought beef, though I've recently tested some 'natural' beef and did o.k. (In the case of beef, if it's labeled 'natural' it's not supposed to contain dyes or other things...) I haven't finished reading the article, but since you mentioned maltodextrin, I've seen it on some of the lists of things to avoid if one is sensitive to sulfites.

Edit: I wanted to link to another article on the topic:

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
