I don't know if this has been said specifically but now that I am reading lables I noticed that there is annato in a lot of cheeses. Am I really that stupid to not know all this time that a lot of cheese has to be colored? I woke up at 2 am this morning with the big D and now I wonder if it was the annato in the cheddar jack cheese I put in my grilled cheese last night (gluten free bread of corse.)

Do you also have an annatto sensitivity? It's definitely separate from a gluten problem.

Not sure. I had the opposite problem with gluten (the big C instead of the big D) but I also never used to throw up before and now when i get gluten I either throw up or get very nauseas. I think I am going to have to break down and pay for the bolld allergy testing. I am tired of trying to figure out if I am somehow still getting glutened or if it is another sensitivity.

Could it just be the cheese? Milk products can be very hard to digest especially if you still have intestinal damage. The part that Celiac destroys is the part that digests milk.

It could be the cheese. I am in denial that I may have issues with either lactose or casein because I LOVE LOVE LOVE cheese :( I know I eventually have to find out if I ever want to get completely better. I am just glad I don't feel like I am dying anymore so if dairy is the thing that is lingering I am not ready yet...LOL

I hear you. I LOVE LOVE LOVE CHEESE TOO. But I can't eat it. FOR NOW. We are telling ourselves over here in this house that I'll be hopefully able to eat it within a year of going gluten-free. No guarantees, but there's a hope.

If you're still having issues, try a dairy-free diet. It made a world of difference for me and might for you - if it doesn't, EAT CHEESE WHILE YOU CAN.

I know how you feel. When I first went gluten-free, I tried to limit my cheese but I couldn't cut it completely. I didn't eat cheese on my eggs then a grilled cheese then enchiladas for dinner. Just one of those in a day.

Annatto is in yellow cheeses but white cheddar, moz, pram, etc shouldn't have any. It's also probably on butter. It sounds like a good idea - a natural plant based coloring. :(

I've actually read elsewhere that they sometimes put it into white cheese to warm the color a bit, so be careful and check every cheese if there's an annatto but not a dairy issue.

Uh oh. It might not actually be an annatto problem because I've been eating plenty of Earth Balance without difficulties, and Earth Balance has annatto.

I think aliens explain it all. Yup.

*whispers* and they have started a secret doctor mind control experiment to keep us from getting diagnosed, too.:lol: I swear, sometimes I think that is the only explanation of how seldom we get answers on this stuff!

Did you get the plain tater tots? I checked when I was at walmart yesterday, and there were some with wheat, but they weren't the plain tater tots. And now I can't find them on Ore Ida's website, so I might have imagined it. I thought they looked just like a darker version of the regular tater tots, but they may have been these, which have wheat: Open Original Shared Link

They were definitely gluten-free tater tots. And the french fries that were gluten-free got me too.

I've been able to eat lots of potatoes since, too.

Do you think maybe your intestines just might not be healed all the way yet & that's why your having problems with them? I know I reacted to so many foods when my intestines weren't healed completely - even the Ore Ida French fries. I was reacting to everything. It was so frustrating, but I had celiac disease for such a long time before I was diagnosed. It took my body at least a good year before I could have a few processed foods.

I just wouldn't eat them for a while & then try again in a few months. I know how trying to figure it out drives us all crazy. Just take a break from them and try again later.

Also, I'm really sensitive & I can eat the french fries once a week. I do have problems with some Glutino products & I can't eat them everyday -that's how senstive I am. I haven't tried the tator tots in a long time, but they are sounding good. :) I might have to try them again myself. :)

That could certainly be part of it. I know that what has me the most confused about all this is that I was eating the Earth Balance and thought I was fine, but now that I've stopped eating it I do feel better. And I can eat lots of OTHER french fries (and hamburgers!) at fast food places, and those are heavily processed to say the least. And they don't give me problems.

I think I'm satisfied at this point with just cutting out the annato and the dairy and waiting to see what happens once my guts have healed. I'm hopeful, but not too hopeful. I don't want to think too positively or I'm going to be horribly disappointed again soon.

I really hope this is just a temporary intolerant for you. :) I've had similar experiences when I thought a food didn't bother me like dairy products and then as soon as I stopped eating them, I felt better. Sometimes the reactions are so small it's hard to notice them. I can have a little dairy now, but I still haven't gone back to regular milk, yet. I'm really hooked on the Silk Almond milk-it's so good! And just remembering how regular milk made me feel is just not something I want to experience any time soon. :blink:

Good luck to you! :)

No problem with Ore Ida for me either. I have a wheat allergy and am super duper sensitive and break out in hives easily. But, Ore Ida has been a safe food for me.

      Thank you for the information. I did order/receive GliadinX to have on hand in the event of suspected exposure.

      Celiac or not?

      By Dc91 · Posted

      Just had a letter through from the Celiac team, they’ve diagnosed me through my bloods, no endoscopy/biopsy needed. I guess I’ll be sticking around on this forum and I’m sure I’ll be back soon. thanks for all your help

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      Hi everyone I’m somewhat new here- at least this is my first time posting.    I have been having persistent stomach issues since July of 2024- so around 7 ish months I’ve been having issues. At first I thought it was just a bout of constipation because I had had that issues before but- it simply did not go away at first I went to urgent care for my bloating and stomach pain and constipation and they basically didn’t really check anything and just passed it off as constipation and gave me stool softeners. Then I started having joint pain and a sharp stinging sensation in my back that debilated me and urgent care passed it off as muscle spasms. Then I finally went to my primary care doctor and they put me on a lowfodmap diet- and that didn’t help…(I was still eating gluten product),then I told her that didn’t help and then she didn’t contact me for several weeks not even trying to pinpoint the cause of my discomfort. So I started doing my own research from reputable sites- and analyzed my symptoms. Then suddenly I started losing weight rapidly 23 pounds in a month to be exact and I had like pale yellowish stool. Then I started realizing maybe it was gluten that was irritating me and I cut it out and started feeling a little bit better but still had some discomfort. Then I contacted my doctor again for a blood test for it and it came back negative. But I still was worried at least if it could be anything else going on in my stomach though I was sure it was celiac disease. Then after me practically begging her to let me get an endoscopy eventhough she insisted I was fine- I choose a doctor to see that was not my primary care doctor to evaluate me and they recommended I get an endoscopy…and I had an endoscopy a few weeks later. That came back negative for celiac with my biopsy too and no other damages from my ultra sound I got or anything. So I was naturally extremely confused. So I started to feel like maybe I was over exaggerating. But then I started researching on endoscopies- and found out for a confirmed positive blood test and endoscopy I had to be CURRENTLY eating gluten something neither of my doctors notified me about nor the GI specialists. So I realized my doctor probably would not order me another endoscopy…and also I just decided do I really need to go through the pain of eating gluten again for an endoscopy- when I could just stop eating it? So I weighed it and at the moment I decided- I would not get an endoscopy and just be gluten free- and for a little bit- I was fine- then my stomach started hurting again- a few times could’ve been from cross contamination but I also saw that a lot of the gluten free products I was eating contained corn and I tested it and stopped eating corn products for a few days and felt better. So I also did research on corn and found that some people with celiac disease can respond negatively to corn because it has a protein in it similar to gluten. So I cut that out completely and felt better for a long time. Except for ocassional corn cross contaminations I felt fine- until recently where I think I may have had corn products a few times consistently- and not noticed despite my stomach upset because I had been dealing with stomach issues so long I thought it was the norm. Now for the past few days possibly because of the consistent corn exposure for the past month I’ve been having an upset and bloated stomach eventhough I stopped eating the corn- because I think (though studies are not sure on corn damaging celiacs stomach lining) corn may have been damaging my stomach lining again during that time- and I may be developing some new intolerances or conditions. I want to go get that checked out but I don’t want to be gaslighted by doctors again- cause it makes me feel crazy. And I’m also debating on whether or not I want to go through the pain and stomach damage again for 2-6 weeks to really confirm if I have celiac disease- and I’ve been even more reluctant because now I am in classes again and I have to be in class consistently standing up a lot (culinary class) for multiple hours on end and I don’t think me being fatigued and sick and in pain is going to be good for me during that time. Should I get an endoscopy to confirm if I have celiac disease again this time actually eating gluten up to that point- or should I just first try to figure out what intolerances I may have developed or other conditions via a doctor- or wait for a while until my stomach lining has repaired sufficiently or at least enough before getting an endoscopy and a blood test again at a time when I am not busy a year or so from now while maintaining a gluten free corn free diet until my endoscopy is booked and then I will begin eating gluten and corn up until the endoscopy? (Sorry I know that was a lot.)

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By trents · Posted

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?
