Hunt's Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes

I'm recovering from an awful glutening - the worst in over 8 months.

 

The only item "new" in my diet is a can of Hunt's Fire Roasted diced tomatoes. Otherwise, every item I've eaten in the 3 days leading up to becoming sick was prepared by me at home with ingredients we've always used.

 

The only items on the label that are questionable are yeast and natural flavors.

I have read in other posts and other places on the internet that ConAgra was labeling things to indicate if wheat was present in a product.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on the source of yeast in this product?

I tend to steer away from ConAgra products, because they don't really disclose barley, only wheat, and they were less than helpful when I called them on the phone to ask.

 

I'm sorry that you're sick!

I'm really sorry...that stinks! You shouldn't have to worry about a can of tomatoes! I just saw yeast as an ingredient on a Swansons chicken broth and I wonder about it now.

I hope you feel better soon. Take care. (((Hugs)))

Yeast isn't made with wheat - yeast is a living organism.

And gluten means wheat. barley & rye not just wheat. If a company says they disclose gluten it means they disclose gluten not just wheat. The law that is in effect now also covers wheat. barley & rye not just wheat.

There are different kinds of yeast - like brewer's yeast which is a by-product of brewing.

 

This just says "yeast".  Very vague.

I have never seen a label say " yeast which is not Brewers yeast". :)

Occasionally, on some uncommon products, I have seen " Brewers yeast".

Thanks for the link.  I looked at the two cans I still have of the Hunt's Fire Roasted tomatoes. One has garlic and one does not. Neither can says "gluten free" on them. 

 

I don't know what to think ... other than I don't think I'll use them and donate them to the local food pantry.

 

I only know they're the only thing new I used in cooking in the past week, and ate at home all week.

And I know I don't want to be that sick again for a long time.

Because you say it was the worst glutening in 8 months, and because Con-Agra DOES disclose any gluten in their products, I would venture to say it might not have been a glutening at all, but the "bug" that has been going around.

That could be, but nobody else is sick - even the cootie carrying 12 year old.

No bug going around that we've heard about.

It's kind of like I "know" what my body does when exposed to gluten vs a stomach bug.

And when I vagal, I pretty much know for sure.

If that makes sense.

My hubby and I ran through everything we had done or eaten and where we had been for 72+ hours.

And that silly can of tomatoes are the only thing that came up as new or different.

So there was something my body reacted to in the same way it reacts to gluten. The easiest solution in my mind is to not use that brand. Recover from this reaction and get back to my usual eating habits and see what happens next. The path if least resistance.

      @sillyyak52, If it makes you feel any better, I have a sibling who thinks the dinner table (at fine dining restaurants, and less formal pub grub settings etc.) is a personal buffet table and dips into the food of whoever is sitting beside or opposite to them just to get a taste (no plate is safe!) ... never asks for permission ... and has no consideration of gluten cross contamination even though I've explained it diplomatically with articles, pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis (which I've had for years) like @knitty kitty and I both suggest you do. I avoid that sibling at restaurants now and sit at the opposite end of the table out of arms reach! I've had similar treatment at a recent siblings 60th BBQ with family and friends (brought my own food and burger), where I was told (in a very rude manner) "tough luck, there's nowhere safe ... just cook your burger on the BBQ" which was cross contaminated ... I stood my ground and asked for a clean frying pan to cook my burger safely and separately.

      knitty kitty makes a good point. Avocados are high in histamines. So are bananas. Both also trigger histamine production in the body when consumed so there's a double whammy with those two foods for those struggling with histamine intolerance/MCAS

      3 years with Celiac, now I appear fine.

      @Sharke, The updated guidelines for a gluten challenge are to eat ten grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum.  Lesser amounts of gluten (3 grams) don't provoke an immune response strong enough that the antibodies leave the gastrointestinal tract and get into the blood where they can be measured in tTg blood tests.   Have no doubt that the antibodies made in the small intestine are doing damage there, even if you don't suffer severe symptoms, yet. Did you react to barley prior to going gluten free? Have you been checked for chronic autoimmune gastritis which is another autoimmune disease that sometimes occurs with Celiac Disease? Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Thiamine deficiency (Gastrointestinal Beriberi) can cause constipation and/or diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss.   Thiamine Deficiency Disorders https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/

      @sillyyak52, Count another one in the same boat!  My family has always been in denial.  They said my tummy aches were a ploy to miss school.  My parents passed from health problems associated with uncontrolled Celiac Disease (Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Glioblastoma brain tumor).  My sister still has her head buried in the sand.   I agree with @Rogol72, try the consequences of untreated celiac disease shock treatment.  Sometimes people are just scared of having to change their comfortable lifestyle.
