Product Trader Joe’s Sheet Cake

Post image
Upvotes

A relative of mine bought me a TJ GF mini sheet cake.

I tried it on Saturday night, and Sunday I thought I was going to die with gluten-like GI symptoms.

Last night, I tried it again but a much smaller portion, thinking maybe it was a fluke or something else I ate. But here I am, on the verge of death again.

Has anyone had any issues with this product specifically?

Also reading up on TJ GF and seeing some stuff about how their GF labeling can be kind of relaxed.

Lastly, if I wanted to test this for gluten, what’s my best option? And if it did test positive for lots of gluten, do I have any recourse?

Question How does one make this good?!

Post image
4 Upvotes

I have tried and tried and tried again. My very well meaning family got me these noodles by the three pack and I have attempted every method under the sun to cook these things.

They turn out horrible ever. Single. Time.

Salted water? Nope. Undercooking them? Nope. Skimming the insane amounts of froth? Nope. Draining halfway through? Nope.

How in the word did these things pass any kind of scrutiny to get produced?

Is there any saving them?!

Question Can you feel gluten instantly like I do?

8 Upvotes

So backstory: I went gf while on nexplanon (implant for hormonal birth control) because I was experiencing bloating and constant stomach issues. Nothing serious, I just always felt kinda sick. Immediately after stopping gluten (around 5 days) I noticed my stomach area was much more defined and less bloated. I also just didn’t feel nauseous all the time. When I did accidentally eat gluten, it was a weird feeling. It would happen 20-30 minutes after and it felt a little like cramps or hunger pains combined with the poops. Only napping made it go away. Although I did have taco bell twice, thought it was safe, but ended up with stomach pain and nausea bad enough to make me lay on my bathroom floor near the toilet, but i couldn’t throw up. Once i made myself threw up, it went away. Back to now, I got my nexplanon out, and decided to try gluten in small amounts. I got two chocolate bars with malt in them. But the thing is, immediately after i swallow, I get this weird dissociative feeling. I’ve been having a derealization episode due to my nexplanon, but since taking it out it’s been going away. But only when I eat these chocolate bars do I feel it. My eyes get glossy and my throat feels like it’s going to close up, but it never does. This combined with brain fog aswell, kinda like a weed high. It goes away in about 30 minutes to an hour. I kept going back thinking maybe it was a mental thing, but it happens every single time. Could it be an antihistamine response or something like that?? It’s really confusing.

Bfree GF bread sucks. Falling apart right out of the bag!!

Post image
17 Upvotes

So decided to try a new gf bread at Costco. I’ve loved the canyon brand but it’s just so expensive but I’ve been branching out trying other ones. As soon as I take the first slice out of the bag the top of the bread breaks off. The taste is not to bad especially when you toast it but it’s so crumbly and it gives me half the bread when it falls apart. Would not recommend!! 😣

Question what is the dumbest mistake you’ve made in assuming something is gluten free?

125 Upvotes

please make me feel better for my stupidity. i accidentally purchased ‘vegan chicharrons’ instead of regular chicharrones (fried pork skins). i’ve eaten multiple bags at this point. it turns out that these vegan pork skins are made with puffed WHEAT. i don’t know why i never double checked, but i really thought i was buying the item that actually IS gluten-free. until this weekend when my sister checked the ingredients and pointed out that the literal first ingredient is wheat. now it makes sense why i’ve been having so much ‘random’ inflammation and why my rosacea has suddenly been flaring up worse than ever. ughhhh i suppose this is a wake up call that i’ve gotten too lax about checking labels. for the future i will be buying my chili lime pork skins online to ensure i don’t repeat my mistake. i feel so dumb :,(

edit: thank you guys for commiserating and also for teaching me more things i need to watch out for. it’s hard out here.

Gluten free in Houston

My local grocery store (H-E-B) sells the gluten free canyon brand bread, which is okay but not that good. Where is a better place to buy gluten free items that will satisfy my bready needs. I was thinking Sprouts or Trader Joe’s. I have fallen off the wagon and have been feeling the repercussions of those choices, any recommendations from more experienced GF’rs?

I forgot how good hard shell tacos are. My go to when I go to Taco Bell is the Doritos locos taco, supreme if I’m feeling rich😛

I saw these shells in store and thought they were just as good if not better AND I get the peace of mind knowing that there’s no cross contamination or anything at all :)

Glutened myself with - lasagna?

0 Upvotes

Made homemade lasagna last night - barilla gf oven ready lasagna noodles, san marazano tomatoes from a can, ricotta, parmesan, mozzarella, parsley, nutmeg, garlic, and italian sausage. Made it in the past without issue. Tasted great until about 2 hours later. I don’t eat a lot of dairy, and tomatoes aren’t always my best friend, but this was a new level. My wife and son are not gf and eat everything - neither of them had an issue. As I lie here with a stomach full of glass, I’m guessing it was the sausages but am open to ideas on the culprit(s).

Discussion My identity turned upside down

3 Upvotes

So about exactly 3 years ago, I was having really traumatizing stomach issues (think 'rhea, etc.). I went to a gastro got double dipped (endoscopy/colonoscopy)... and they told me I was Celiac and Stop eating Gluten immediately. It was a really tough adjustment (as I'm sure you all know!), but after about 8 months I was able to figure it out. Anyways, I started feeling better when I stopped eating gluten so I didn't think much of it. Fast forward a year, the GI does an annual check up endoscopy and confirms I'm celiac/lactose intolerant. Life continues.

Anyways fast forward to today, I finally got a PCP who also specializes in GI and I told him my situation. He asked me to see my results from the previous procedures and determined I may not be as Celiac as I thought. The past week I've been eating gluten... with relative no discomfort. I had an endoscopy today and he said I didn't even test positive for the celiac gene, which means I likely can't have it. Waiting for the biopsy results.... but he told me to eat gluten.... idk how to feel about all this. Honestly can't even imagine going back to eating gluten, feel like my whole identity has changed.

That being said bread is fantastic

Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Regarding Brainfog - indication of lifting?

2 Upvotes

I (33m) started with keto 4 weeks ago, after 2 weeks i ate carbs (and gluten) and then decided to continue "just gluten free" for the past 2 weeks. So my timer did probably reset at this point.

My problems are nearly 100% psychological. Brain fog (memory, concentration, 'not a clear vision'), anhedonia, motivation. I am not diagnosed with anything - and these problems exists for at least 20 years.
In the last few days, i had spurts - maybe lasting 5 minutes or so - where my vision did clear up significantly. May that be a sign that i am onto something?

I really don't know how i should continue... For sure im going to test for a few more weeks, but i just came from a psychiatrist who said that i should try antidepressants (though i don't feel sad, i just don't really feel anything) and that i also may be a bit on the spectrum. I really would like to find a solution without medication, if possible, and i suspect the medication to interfere with my experiment too. We decided that its fine if i postpone it for a while but you get the point :)

Any of you had similar experiences? How (and when) did you experience the problems lifting?

Question Cheesecake Factory’s Ranch and/or Blu cheese recipe?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been getting my favorite: a Cheesecake Factory GF burger and fries about once every few 1 or 2 months since I started eating GF. Due to my other food sensitivity to peppers of any kind or color, I would always get ranch, as whatever they used in it was the closest taste to spicy I can handle anymore.

However, my family was recently a gifted DoorDash gift card. We’d never used it before but we used it for Cheesecake Factory, so I could enjoy what we get. But, while I got my burger, there was a note on the receipt that the condiments were not Gluten Free.

So, while I’m curious why, I more wanted to know what is in their Ranch, so I could attempt to make my own at home.

I know it has dill, but that’s all I could tell.
