If you get a reaction with that, I'm sorry, I'm out of ideas. But please try it.
I'm referring to this product: https://www.absoluteorganic.com.au/product/baked-beans/
It's an Australian company, with canned baked beans labelled "Gluten-free" on first glance.
I've had bad reactions (my typical gluten exposure symptoms) to this on two separate occasions. The first time was years ago. I decided to give them another chance, but...
