This is the email I sent to Glutino, the company which makes Sans Gluten
Fiber Free bread. Although the letter was sent a week ago, I have had no reply.
Has anyone else experienced a problem with their products?
I am Celiac and have maintained a gluten free diet for 35 years. I purchased
Sans Gluten Free fiber bread from Whole Foods in Princeton New Jersey. I ate
two slices about two weeks ago and several hours later got really sick,
(nausea, vomiting diarrhea, and chills). Although I suspected the bread might of
been the culprit, I decided to give it another shot. I again ate two slices
yesterday, and several hours later I went through the same ordeal, only
worse. It lasted about 8 hours. Since on both days, the only thing I ingested
which was new was the bread, I have to assume something was wrong with it.
I also have a bag of your bagels which I have eaten without ill effects.
I seldom get the symptoms I've described. The last time was several years
ago, when I decided to try eating oatmeal. I also tried that a second time and
had the same unpleasant result. I assumed that either I can't eat oats
(although it's now considered safe for a celiac) or it was contaminated with gluten.
Of course, I have never eaten oats in any form again.
I assume that since I've been gluten free for so many years, I've become
super sensitive to it.
It's important that I know if it's possible that your bread could have been
contaminated with gluten. If not, was something else in it that could make
me ill? Although I did keep it frozen as directed, could it have spoiled (it
was dated Oct.05) The only number I could find on the plastic tag is HO18.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
I am not looking for legal action or anything like that. I would like to
continue using your products, but am now understandably afraid to do so. Also, I
thought you should know of my experience.
I look forward to your prompt response.
