    Yeah and I got an email back from customer service that said there is a high probability of contamination because they make gluten containing prodcuts on the same line, but they sterilize it.

    Hi all.... I got so ill on these, and its not the dairy. Anybody else have this issue with them??? Someone told me the caramel color, someone else said the hig possibility of cross contamination in a small plant like theirs that is not dedicated. But within an hr sharp headache....and not bad D. Ugggggggh.

    They are not gluten free. After they made the statement they got blasted and put out notice that they can not guarantee that they are. Open Original Shared Link

    My response back to Namaste just now, and then thier reply to me for more information: It's up to you guys to make your own informed decision, but I know now why I got sick. Thanks to Namaste for even responding. ---------------------- ________________ Yes, please mail me a copy of that. I would appreciate that. Absolutely, if a company has...

    That I am not sure of, I think they do. But as they say its processed filted down to so many parts per million that it becomes "corn, soy wheat free" Now when you do a google of Xanthan gum, wheat or what have you nothing really comes up. So I think you would have to go to individual products ask them who their xantham supplier is and find out that way....

    Just on a side note, I live with a microbiologist who works for a major pharmaceutical company. He said its true, there are ways to "whittle the content down through processing" but you never totally eliminate it. He said but you bring it down to so many parts per million, what ever the threshold is that would be gluten containing, vs gluten free, he...

    I'm not a conspiracy theorist either, but if an ingredient regardless of processing comes from an allergic source they should list it and put the disclaimer so their consumers can decide for themselves. I see plenty of products, for example Wild Oats Grocery store has these rice chips that are "gluten free" but one of their sources is from wheat but processed...

    Here is their reply to me posted again: -------------------------------------------- Dear Erin, Thank you for writing. As we sell thousands of mixes monthly, I have not heard of this occurring before. I went to www.allergygrocery.com, and read what you did, but further down under Allergen Notes (it was a blue section I think) it says.... *Namaste...

    Scroll back in the post.....their reply to me was yes...but its certified safe. That doesn't cut it for me since I an super sensitive. Anyone with any food issue they are super sensitive on
  11. chgomom
    Namaste itself said it is from a wheat or soy source. Also as did Allergygrocer.com So they are sending me the manufacture information.
  12. chgomom
    Well I am waiting for their reply. I said, espcially since you are marketing towards a highly sensitive population why do you not list your sources on your packaging. Me. I am still sick 3 days later. My doc said thats likely why. I have horrible break out of the DH all over my scalp and chin / cheek. Still with the D ...she said I am the type as evidenced...
  13. chgomom
    They said they had the statements from their manufacturer and the name. So I just emailed them and asked for those, as now my GI doc wants to know. I will be very upset if the statements from their manufacture do not guarantee the abscence 100% and then they do not put it on their package. Thats dangerous. I'll post their response.
  14. chgomom
    I agree. If any of their ingredients come from an allergic source they should list it. Its not right, and they should put a star by the particular ingredient that they say it is free of. When in reality its not necessisarily free, its just whittled down to so many parts per million. Not right!
  15. chgomom
    So what I am saying now is....if any of their ingredients are derived from wheat or soy, for those extremely sensitive....they can't possibly be safe...and should they not have that on their packages??!!??

    Dear Erin, Thank you for writing. As we sell thousands of mixes monthly, I have not heard of this occurring before. I went to www.allergygrocery.com, and read what you did, but further down under Allergen Notes (it was a blue section I think) it says.... *Namaste xanthan is derived from wheat or soy but certified testing proves negative for presence...
  17. chgomom
    Maybe its any grain period, and tapioca..........
  18. chgomom
    Well then I read on allergygrocer.com That the Namaste XANTHUM GUM comes from either a wheat or soy source. So....what is that about. I emailed them and said if that is the case, how can they claim they are gluten and soy free. They haven't responded yet.
  19. chgomom
    Well I can't say yes and I can't say no. I know now, after just being clean and then adding things in gradually this is what bothers me Corn, any kind of dextrin (go figure - even gluten free) are the big culprits...buttt....as I think about it...most of the things I have eaten have tapioca in it....ike my gluten free bread which makes me sick most...
  20. chgomom
    From Allergy grocer.com regarding namaste brownies: evaporated cane juice, sweet rice flour, Dutch cocoa, tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, salt, xanthan gum (derived from wheat or soy). Then I read that they way xanthum gum is made by nature it is contaminated with corn residue. So how can they claim they are corn and soy free? I emailed them...
  21. chgomom
    Anyone have issues with satrches, carbs and stuff? Or these dang brownies?? Althougth the doc keeps stressing that since I have only been strictly gluten free since September because I started in June, then did a challange end of August (got SUPER SICK) then went totally gluten-free beginning of September that it goes thorugh cycles, sometimes is worse...
  22. chgomom
    Well that gas is terrible with the fruits and veggies. Apple absolutely forget about it. Bannas, are ok but give me a little gas, oranges acidy in my stomach. Carrots burping brocoli forget about it...gas....totally virgin mashed potatoes are ok, with a little butter and garlic, but thats very little. Where I have no gas...no pain is with meats...
  23. chgomom
    Hi All...back now after a vaca. I have found lately, I can only really tolerate meats, fish and chicken. Sausage that is gluten free as well. When I start adding in carbs, in particular starches, I start haveing major D and gas. The gas like pops in my chest and it used to really startle me, as I am sure you can guess what it feels like. But then...
  24. chgomom
    Yeah.....I just think too...I'm looking at a dairy issue, and I haven't removed it yet. They think my son has an issue. He eats it...and sometimes almost immediately, or with in a few hrs...has kind of a tummy ache and has to go number 2. And his "poops" have never been bif and solid...if that makes sense. Not watery but small long and soft...ewww I know...
  25. chgomom
    I cancelled and said I would not do it till we re-checked the labs and see how those have gone. I had to follow my gut. I used to to not do that and talk myself out of things. But now, if it seems off I have really been trying to take that. So they will call me me back when they mail out the lab order in a few days. The upper endoscopy was scheduled...
