I know a lot of people have issues with nuts. I love eating nuts and usually dont have too much of a problem unless i eat more than the serving. Typically Peanuts are the worst (they sit in my stomach, especially peanut butter) and cashews I just stay away from... I know they are in the bean family too though.....

BUUUT For some reason t I found that I can eat pistachios until they come out of my ears and have no problem!!!!

Is anyone else like this? or am I just imagining things? I'm thinking that maybe tree nuts are easier for me to digest than other types....i dunnoo.....almonds usually dont bother me, until I have too many :lol: but pistachios, I can never have too many

There's an important difference between peanuts and tree nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, pistachios, brazil nuts, etc...). Peanuts are actually legumes and they grow underground. In addition to peanut allergies, people can have problems with aflatoxins (a type of mold) that commonly grows on peanuts. Tree nuts are the edible seeds of fruits that grow on trees.

Some people have problems with both kinds of "nuts," but biologically they're quite different.

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By trents · Posted

      @Steve-n-Portland, there is a difference in the requirements to use the label "Gluten Free" and the label "Certified Gluten Free". "Gluten Free" is governed by FDA regulations and has a ceiling of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is a labeling convention used by the GFCO, an independent international third party certifying group that uses 10 ppm as its standard.

      We have had numerous reports from forum participants experiencing gluten reactions from Trader Joe "gluten-free" products. It seems it's not a good place for the celiac/gluten sensitive community to shop.

      Also, a class action lawsuit was launched in 2024 against Trader Joe's re: their " gluten free" everything bagels. They tested at 269ppm. (Personally, I am not sure they will win. The FDA says that the *ingredients* have to be less than 20ppm for a company to label something "gluten-free."  In order to be certified as gluten-free by the GFCO, the *final product* needs to be less than 20ppm. That said, the lawsuit is arguing that most people read that label and assume the final product is safe for people with celiac. Thus, many people were made sick. And being sick can have costly consequences in regard to work or school, depending when one becomes ill.)

      Correction: My previous post refers to hickory products when I actually meant bakery products.

      Trader Joe's "gluten-free" hickory products are definitely not celiac safe. Their own website used to have a sidebar acknowledging this. Trader Joe's contracts out for their products, or obtains products elsewhere and puts their brand on it. Is Trader Joe's acknowledges, the facilities in which their products are made may change without notice, and ingredients or sources for ingredients may change without notice. Every time I tried Trader Joe's "gluten-free" muffins, breads, tortillas, etc, I had a reaction. The worst reactions were from the muffins (which are about 440 cals apiece, btw).
