Whole Foods "365" Nut Products

I apologize if this has alredy been discussed. It's been a VERY long time since I've been on the forum and I only have a couple of minutes right now so did not do a search to see if this has been a topic.

To those in the US that have relied on Whole Foods "365" walnuts, almonds, etc. you may have noticed a new packaging. The old packaging made no mention of shared equipment with wheat, in fact it stated that they practiced good manufacturing to segregate, etc. I used some walnuts from the new packaging and got sick, typical gluten symptoms. I questioned Wholefoods Customer Service yesterday in person and they said that these products are now being packaged in a new facility.

I think anyone who has come to rely on these products needs to send an e-mail to Wholefoods and complain about this. Not only do I NOT have a place to buy organic non contaminated nuts now, but I'm concerned about the Whole Food own bakehouse goods! (I assume they use their own products in the breads, etc)

It's super frustrating to get accustomed to a product for YEARS and then have them change it! GRRR.

Just wanted to make everyone aware and try to start a "movement" that maybe will force them to go back to the old ways.

Thanks for the heads up! Do you know if this affects their nut butters as well? I am quite reliant on their natural peanut butter...

I'm not sure about their nut butters. I'd double check the label if I were you, especially if the label has changed recently.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By Monte Carlo Fine Taste · Posted

      Intolerance to certified gluten-free pasta may be due to additives or stabilizers included in the pasta's ingredients, even among the top brands. It's important to check thoroughly before purchasing and consuming; you can find the actual ingredients listed in the detailed component descriptions on Amazon.

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just so you know. I have a feeling that every time I break out on probiotics it's due to some kind of war with my gut biome. I definitely need to find a system of flushing out my gut so that the probiotics don't have to fight as hard to populate.

      Sommersby cider, alcohol generally

      By bharal · Posted

      I'm unsure if sommersby cider is likely to have cross contamination issues, given its made by a beer company. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm assuming wine generally is ok, as it's bottled in a vineyard, but what about other (ostensiblygluten free) liquors?

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits.  By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off.  After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial.  The new strains of bacteria don't have to fight the established unhealthy yeasts and bad bacteria which causes a rise in histamine levels which can make one feel sick.   Certain vitamins help keep bad bacteria and fungi at bay.  Thiamine is one.  Antibiotics can deplete Thiamine stores.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other vitamins and minerals needed for healthy skin and digestive tract.  Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and Niacin B 3 are important to skin health.  Niacin is especially helpful in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I like the kind that flushes (Nicotinic Acid - not the same as nicotine in cigarettes).  The flushing gets less and less the longer it's taken, but Niacinamide which doesn't cause flushing can be taken instead.     Here's an interesting article.  Compare the bacteria mentioned in the article with your Skinesa and then with the Visbiome probiotics.   The Role of Probiotics in Skin Health and Related Gut–Skin Axis: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385652/ Visbiome https://www.visbiome.com/collections/all/products/visbiome-capsules

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria.  I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat.  Especially in early healing there may be other foods you cannot tolerate for a while.
