Can't Tolerate Non-Self Baked Goods!

I can't believe it, but whenever I eat some "gluten-free" baked goods made by someone other than myself, I get sick.

I've tried Orgran's gluten free biscuits (ready made), muffin mix (Self made, but using their flour mix), "home industry"-type gluten free biscuits (Very simple ingredients, rice flour only), Nature's Source (South African local company) gluten free rusks, local brand gluten-free bread etc etc.

In every case, usually every 2nd biscuit/slice or so I'll get severe symptoms shortly afterward. It's not very consistent, sometimes I can "get away" with it.

Biscuits/pizza bases made by myself using a trusted flour mix (Rice, corn, tapioca flour, xantham gum, home-made baking powder) is always fine.

Do you think these items are somehow contaminated with gluten, or am I just reacting to the unusual flours that they often add? I'm just so frustrated that I can never buy a pack of biscuits and just chow down. Baking isn't that bad, but it's usually an hour out of my day that I could've just bought something.

/rant over, guess I should focus on the positives!

I experience the same thing. I have had to accept spending a lot of time preparing food. Sometimes I just don't want to do it. Then I get so hungry I do it anyway, but then I have to wait quite awhile until it is ready. Buying ready made would be nice, but I'd be happy to have someone else be able to prepare stuff. At least my son helps a bit. I think that it is cc.

You might want to see if there is any ingredient that you don't use at home that the items have in common. It could be CC but it could also be that they use something you don't that your body doesn't like.

I have been real hit and miss at times with things that I didn't make myself. Some things are okay and some are not.

You could be reacting to cross contamination from something other than gluten, such as soy, in some products. Or to the "vegetable gum" or the guar gum or xanthan gums.

I looked at a bunch of the Organ pre made item ingredients, and they are mostly based on corn(maize) starch and brown rice flour, pea flour, some have tapioca. Would love to know what is in the "vegetable oil" that's listed. Also, I saw psyllium fiber in some of them, I've tried that once in a bread and it sort of sat like a rock in my stomach. Calcium carbonate also gives some people a bloated feeling. They are using rice syrup and I would also like to know if this has been made with barley based enzymes then processed to be technically gluten free (we all know how that goes.... :angry: ) or was it something else.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those with celiac disease we know that there is a huge range in sensitivity, for example we've had many members here who report that even smelling wheat bread cooking in a bakery, for example a bakery in a supermarket, triggers an immediate gluten reaction that can last days or longer. Is there science to back this up--not that I've seen. Does this mean that it can't happen? Since it does seem to happen to some people, I can't say that there isn't something real happening to these folks.  Similarly there seems to be celiacs who can drink even regular beers, many of which have detectable gluten at under 20ppm, without issues, and many drink gluten reduced beers made from barley on a daily basis without issues, and without elevated antibodies or damaged villi. I also know that some celiacs report getting very sick from a single sip of gluten reduced beer. To be on the safe side it's probably best to stick with a naturally gluten-free beer, however, many of them lack the real beer taste, thus, some celiacs cheat on their diets and just drink regular beer. In this case I think having a choice is important, and drinking a gluten reduced option would be better than regular beer.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Actually, gluten intolerance and celiac disease are not the same. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, while gluten intolerance is a broader term that can include Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). NCGS involves gluten-related symptoms without the autoimmune or allergic response seen in celiac disease. The terms are often used inconsistently, which can cause confusion.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given the nefarious nature of celiac disease and how it strips nutrients from your body, I believe we've seen virtually every type of abdominal pain here described as a symptom. In my case it was mostly in my lower right quadrant. While gluten intolerance or celiac disease primarily affects the digestive system, it can sometimes cause referred pain in areas like the left upper quadrant or back due to inflammation or irritation in the gut. However, left-sided pain and elevated lipase levels could also indicate other conditions, such as pancreatic issues, which should be evaluated by a healthcare professional. Gluten itself is not typically known to directly irritate the pancreas, but if you suspect a connection, it’s worth discussing with your doctor. They may recommend further testing, such as imaging or additional blood work, to rule out other causes. Others in gluten-sensitive communities have occasionally reported similar symptoms, but individual experiences can vary widely. Keeping a detailed food and symptom diary might help identify patterns.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I was also surprised to learn that Morton Iodized Salt contains: "Salt, Calcium Silicate (an anticaking agent), Dextrose, potassium iodide." Their non-iodized version contains only salt. https://www.mortonsalt.com/home-category/culinary-salts/

      Trents, It's a good question. The experts I have spoken to have told me the distillation process does remove the offensive proteins. Again, I'm not the expert on that. I'm only reporting. I don't have any issue with distilled spirits that don't have any additives. That said, maybe there is something else at play here? Good question for the forum.
