Spicy World Of Usa - Nuts!

Good Morning All-

About a week ago I was able to add almonds back to my limited list of safe foods. I find almond butter quite expensive, so I purchased a four pound bag to make my own. It was really easy to make, unfortunately I had a gluten-like reaction within the first hour. My initial symptoms to gluten ingestion are bloating, suddenly tired and very grumpy - followed by two or more days of other fun symptoms.

I email the company that processed the almonds and was thankful to get a response that confirmed my suspicions - as many small companies do not respond leaving lingering suspicion. I asked them to consider adding a shared facility statement to their products and am posting their email here so that the next person to research Spicy World products will find info. Please note this company is Spicy World, not Spice World.

Is there any gluten used in the same facility that your whole almonds are packaged?

Thank You!"

PS...for those of you that are thinking it...I've already kicked myself for not sending this email before I purchased and ate these almonds. This isn't the first time I've gotten burned trying to save money. More caution will be used next time - well maybe ;)

So sorry, honey. :(

FWIW, I have called a company and asked BEFORE eating their products and they assured me it was safe (wheat is not processed in the same facility --but could not guarantee what the source for all materials was---and if they did share lines, they run the gluten-free ones first on Monday and clean them thoroughly)

Now, I did not stop to think...okay, but then, they are going to run the other products all week long, clean the lines and then run more gluten-free products the next Monday.... :rolleyes:

DOH!

Yes, it bit me on the butt and was sick as a dog for 2 weeks (thus earning me the sensitive label from my doc), so don't beat yourself up over this one.

I always recommend nuts.com (no, I am not a paid spokesperson and not affiliated with them because if I were, I'd have them lower those dang shipping costs!!)

But they are my go-to company for certified gluten-free nuts, gluten-free flours, dried fruits, etc. and I love the quality. I have received an order in 24 hours, no kidding.

I have never had a reaction.

Hope you're feeling better. ;)

Thanks IH :)

Not beating myself - I give a quick kick and move along - had plenty of "dohs" - certainly enough to know this won't be my last ;)

My grumpy and froggy symptoms are much better this morning - digestive and body aches and pains will last a bit longer, but I know they'll improve.

Glad to hear your frogginess is hopping off.

Great news about getting almonds back.

I can eat them, but my son is anaphylactic allergic, so I can only have them away from home on my own. Roll on my November nut fest.

I can't tell you what a joy trying to to gluten free nut free is in the uk (not!!!)

Living with multiple allergies/intolerances sure does make life interesting. Anaphylaxis makes it plain scary - had my first such reaction last year - boy I thought I had it tough before - not!!! Sure hope your son is able to stay safe every day.

Ouch. I thought about doing the same with peanut butter, but for the life of me, could not find a package without the "being processed with...." blah blah blah.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
