I am not sure where this goes.... But I had to share with you guys, since I know that being gluten free I personally eat a lot of peanut butter on apples and rice cakes and such... so I had to share this....

I had TWO jars of contaminated peanut butter at my house that I have been eating from for weeks!!!! :huh:

Peanut butter recall affects Brevard County

Peter Pan, Great Value products with code 2111 are targets

FLORIDA TODAY, ASSOCIATED PRESS

and WKMG LOCAL 6 NEWS

ATLANTA -- A salmonella outbreak that has slowly grown to nearly 300 cases in 39 states since August has been linked to tainted peanut butter produced in Georgia, federal health officials said.

The affected jars have a product code on the lid that begins with the number "2111." The affected jars are made by ConAgra in a single facility in Sylvester, Ga., the FDA said.

Jars of peanut butter with that product code were found today on store shelves in Brevard County.

Lakeland-based Publix Super Markets said it getting rid of any potentially tainted peanut butter, and is inviting customers who bought the brands in question

There was no code on the lid... There's a number imprinted in the bottom of the jar 625-11. Does that look right? If so, I guess we're safe, huh? Half of the jar is gone, but I'd happily throw it away if it may not be safe.

If you send the lid back to ConAgra, they will reinburse you. I would rather, just get it out of the house.

Well, I live in New York and yup, you guessed it, I have 2 brand new jars of Peter Pan with the code #2111. Tomorrow is grocery day so I will see if the store will exchange them.

Both my mom and I have them...mine is half used, hers wasn't. I'm taking it back to the store to get reimbursed.

(Like I need salmonella on top of my other issues. Sheesh!)

Since you cooked the peanut butter, there is a good chance you killed any possible samonella. Most people don't cook it, they just eat it on bread or whatever. That could have been ugly.

Everyone should go read this article my mom just emailed me from her celiac support group:

Open Original Shared Link

How scary!! we have two jars of it in our cabinet! I am really starting to wonder if this is why I have been feeling so crappy. Maybe this has been my problem all along, not celiac? The symptoms look relatively the same, and I know I ate at least 3 jars of this peanut butter with this code that I brought from my home (we bought all 5 jars at the same time) while I was abroad in Australia, which is the same time when I started feeling the celiac symptoms. hmmm..... could this possibly prove to be the root of my problems? one article I found says that salmonella can turn into a problem with the intestine. anyone else have any ideas about this?

please make sure you check your peanut butter jars and throw any of the 2111 jars away!!!

My brother and his son were wondering why they haven't been feeling well for the past 3 weeks. Thought it was the stomach flu that they just couldn't shake off. They heard this on the news and sure enough they had the peanut butter. The value one.

Boy that would get me so angry because they kept eating it. I wish it wouldn't take so long to find these things out.

Do you think that is causing all this stomach flu problems sweeping the nation. I told my brother to hang on to the jar incase there are problems that set in that will pop up down the road. Like damage done to the intestines (we all can relate to that)

I had two jars of the peanut butter. ONe almost gone and one just opened. My kids have been eating this stuff for months. I hope they are ok. I through them out and bought some Jif today.

Nice of them to inform us now, since it started in August.

24 hours later, Annie is ok. Just thought I would post this, that not everyone will get ill. She should have had a reaction long by now.

      New diagnosis for 3 year old. Help!

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      It was the tTG iga. The first test the range was that it needed to be under .05 and hers was .9 The repeat was a different lab and it said normal was 0-3 and hers was 109. The first test was part of a free study our DR recommended be celiac seemed unlikely at the time. Of course now it all comes together! So hers would have been 18x the upper limit on the first test and then even more on the second one if I'm doing the math right. The tests were a few months apart because it took a long time to get the first one back.

      New diagnosis for 3 year old. Help!

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @lizzie42! Can you also supply the reference range for that celiac antibody test? Each lab uses its own reference ranges for the celiac antibody tests so we can't comment otherwise until we know. And was that the TTG-IGA? There is also a TTG-IGG celiac antibody test. There is a growing tendency for physicians to forego the endoscopy/biopsy when the tTG-IGA score is quite high. In the UK the that is 10x the high end of the normal range but different docs here in the USA may have their own protocols and not all of them will bypass the endoscopy/biopsy regardless of the blood test score. I also think docs are generally reluctant to do scopes on small...

      New diagnosis for 3 year old. Help!

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      My 3yo was just diagnosed after months of iron supplements barely bringing up her ferritin. I say diagnosed but it's not official yet. Her tTG was 109, her ema was positive. Also she has a vitamin d deficiency in addition to the anemia. She also has the rash. It's been a rough road the last year and a half with her behavior and health and I'm relieved to have an answer.  Is she going to have to have a biopsy with numbers like that? I want to just start gluten-free immediately but waiting to try and schedule with a pediatric GI doctor. It will have to be remote because there isn't one here.  I hate having an answer but still feeding her gluten.  Also, how can I help her rash? We've used aquaphor...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      If I may put my two cents in here . . . Coffee (caffeine) is a double-edged sword when it comes to headaches. It can relieve them (that's why caffeine is put in many over the counter pain relievers) but it can also cause them - particularly if you consume coffee/tea/soda often and regularly and then are in a situation where you have to go without it for a longer stretch than you are used to. Those who suffer from migraines may likely be more sensitive to the effects of caffeine or the withdrawal of it I'm thinking. And then there is the potential negative impact caffeine can have on sleep patterns for many people. Disruption of sleep patterns is also a migraine trigger for some. I speak...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Hello Knitty Kitty, Many thanks for asking about my progress.  Its mixed....  I've been taking Benfotiamine since November.  I started on 300mg, but I didn't notice any change.  Increased to 900mb in 300mg tablets throughout the day and initially it seemed to be a cure.  But then the Hypoglycaemia and migraines started to return...it's really very difficult for me to control my diet.  I'm still taking the Benfotiamine but I now take the Benfotiamine in the evening and usually about 600mg after my early evening meal.  I'm still very sensitive to carbs and especially alcohol and sugar, which makes any social activity really difficult especially in the evenings and having to avoid all gluten as...
