Mushroom Brand

Anyone here react to some mushrooms, but not to others?  I was wondering if anyone knows of a safe brand of mushrooms (fresh or canned, preferably fresh) that you seem to do well with?  Or any store brands?  I have had mushrooms at times and been okay, but other times had some issues.  I don't know for certain it was the mushrooms. Maybe something else caused the problem, but it seems mushrooms are at least worth considering.  From now on I will write down the brand I use and then journal my reaction to them. But since I am getting over being glutened, I do not dare try any right now unless I find a recommended brand that people seem safe with. What a terrible shame that such a healthy food that is naturally gluten-free is often grown in gluten. :( I have heard that the mushrooms do not absorb the gluten while growing, but surely microscopic crumbs of gluten could easily get tucked into the under part of the mushroom?  I wish I had my grandfather teach me how to pick wild mushrooms before he passed away. Although that was only a seasonal thing he did so wouldn't help much the rest of the year.  Why do so many companies have to use gluten? I hate gluten!!!!!! It ruins everything.  (Sorry, having a bad day.)

I have been fine with Polar Canned mushrooms, we have 2 local farmers here...they told me they use various seeds sprayed with teh spores to grow. I think I did a post with the exact information a few years back but think they were using barley to grow the mushrooms from. Some even use compost with wheat to grow them in.

OH on polar...they are in a liquid in the can...if you have a nima, test a tiny bit of the mushroom with a few drops of the canned liquid if any CC is present then it will catch it. PERFECT. I found this one company that sells #10 5lb cans of mushrooms been debating this trick with a can of them and freezing it in portions.

      Positive iGg antibodies but negative biopsy

      By hmkr · Posted

      I had high positive iGg antibodies in a full panel celiac test but a negative celiac biopsy. I was eating gluten for 2 months before the biopsy. Doctors are saying to trial a strict gluten free diet for 2-3 months and see if I feel better. I'm just confused about the antibodies. I mean my body is producing them for some reason?? I can't imagine I won't feel better with the diet. Would the diagnosis be non-celiac gluten sensitivity then? I thought you didn't have antibodies with that?  Confused. Thanks for your input!

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      Thank you! Eating out/take out has been half of my meals for a while so you are correct that this will be my biggest challenge. This has been a journey and I appreciate your help!

      "Bonus points". I like that analogy!  At this point, the following article might be helpful: Eating out will be the biggest challenge and will present the most threat to avoiding gluten since you don't have control over how food is prepared and handled back in the restaurant kitchen. Become comfortable with asking questions of restaurant staff and requesting that your food be cooked in clean pots/pans/surfaces that haven't been used for gluten containing foods since last washed. In time, you will become more comfortable with taking control in these situations and learn to be appropriately assertive. One thing that will take time for you to get a handle on is how sensitive you are to minor amounts of gluten such as you might get in cross contamination scenarios. Each of us is different in that sense and there is no substitute for personal experience. When in doubt, however, avoid foods that you feel may be significantly cross contaminated. Better safe than sorry. In time, you will develop a sixth sense about these things.

      Thank you!  Yes - labs are above but Deamidated Gliadin was super high, tTG was a weak positive and Immunoglobulin A was way below normal which gives "bonus points" to the positive tests because it can also cause false negative results.  This information confirms my thinking and I really appreciate your feedback!!!

      By far, the most likely cause of villous atrophy in the Marsh 3 range is celiac disease but there are other possible causes. Did you also have positive antibody tests? My guess is that when you see your physician he/she will declare you to have celiac disease. Of course, the ultimate proof of the pudding will be if you experience definite improvement in symptoms after going gluten free which, since you have now completed testing, you should begin to do.
