Kroger Brand Tomato Sauce

Does anyone know if Kroger brand tomato sauce is gluten free? I didn't buy any but I ate some last night at a family member's house. She also has Celiac so I assumed it was safe. But today my stomach is a little off. I don't know if that tomato sauce could have contained gluten. It didn't list wheat as an ingredient but it does list "natural flavors" as an ingredient. I went to their website and they blatantly explain that they won't disclose barley or rye in anything and that they recommend you call them. But they're only open Monday-Friday. I don't buy Kroger brand stuff because they don't sell it in my town, but I definitely won't now, since I think their customer service and labeling practices are pathetic. 

Has anyone else run into this with them, and do any of you have an answer for me?

Sounds like it is gluten-free.  Sometimes my stomach is a little off but I can't assume it is always gluten.  This time of year, in the US, we are over eating and eating rich foods we don't normally eat....

I'm Spanish, and we made tamales. Again, with my aunt who has celiac and has had it for 20 years. I ate 3 tamales (masa is made of lard and the meat is an olive oil base with lots of chili powder), refried beans (more lard), Spanish rice , where the sauce was (lots of olive oil in that too), and pumpkin pie with whipped cream. I also ate pistachio pudding. I took lactaid for the dairy. But I added up all the fiber in that evening and it's like 26 grams. I never eat lard. Ever. But it had been so long and I love tamales. When I look at that list I guess it's no wonder my gut was a little icky today. That's a ton of fat.

That sounds so good!  But, I bet anyone would be a bit off after all that!  ?

I cook with lard and suffer from no ill effects, but my body is used to a diet rich in fats.  For me, tamales are out.  Why?  The chili’s!   There was chili in all those dishes (I have an intolerance to them).  I can tell you that the older you get, you tend to lose your taste buds too.   My Aunt (over 80) just over spices everything!  Maybe your Aunt did the same?     I would not think it would be the canned tomatoes.  Like Karen said, we eat a lot of uncommon foods during the holidays.  

 Did your Aunt react?

She didnt say she did. My little guy ate a lot of rice and he didn't have any issues today either. It also could have been all the fiber. I added it all up and it was almost 30 grams, which is more than I'm used to eating in a sitting. Or I could have just had an "off" morning.

Sometimes, we just tend to blame celiac disease for everything.  Sounds like your Aunt and son are fine.  Bet you had an off day or your fiber theory might be correct.  Feel better fast......

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.
