Non-Celiac Checking On Hellemans Mayo For Friend


Malteaser

Recommended Posts

Malteaser Newbie

I was checking on the internet to find out if Hellmans Mayo is gluten free, for a friend, who I am cooking for.

I arrived at this site. I read a topic - I cant remember who from now - about a lady who said she also had stomach ulcers.

This began to sound familiar, especially when I saw a topic which was talking about bacteria in intestines.

Now please dont think Im being flippant. A few years my dog was extremely ill. His stomach distended and he looked like he was dying. He had bouts of it. The vet couldnt get to the bottom of it. Eventually he sent us to a Consultant Vet, who cost a fortune, but was worth every penny. He diagnosed straight away. He said it was a stomach bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori which is the same bacteria that causes ulcers in human beings. He said he was alarmed to see that our dogs intestines showed as transparent on the x-ray.

Although damage had been done - the good thing was - it was easily cured with a paediatric medicine, taken for two weeks.

You probably know this already, but just in case, it may be worth looking into.

A new bottle or jar would be safe. But if you touched the tip of the bottle to wheat bread or dipped a knife in the jar after it touched wheat bread, it would not be safe.

I can't comment on the rest of the stuff.

hadn't thought of a pet, dogs in particular, as being carries of/for this bacteria. they may well be a cause of infection/reinfection! Just they can be for strep!

Also, many dogs are celiac/gluten intolerant.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
