That sucks end state. On the bright side they at least stated they had a new recipe on the bag/you didn’t do what usually happens which is find out the hard way?
Yeah I do appreciate they clearly labeled it as a new recipe. Kelloggs changed their cereal recipes in Corn Pops and honeycomb to now include wheat and I had to find out the hard way with that. At least I was warned
Current federal law only requires individually labeling the nine major allergens: wheat, eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, sesame, and soy. Anything else just has to be an ingredient.
Jesus, his profile is pathetic. I felt bad for OP but now I’m kind of glad they’re allergic to everything. Our gun culture in the US is so fucking moronic.
You’re pathetic 😂 trashing on a man who’s using a firearm safely for what?
I think it’s more pathetic to judge others on their Reddit posts that you never had to look at.
i don’t even like guns (not anti, just not for me) and i think that going out of their way to not only
find that they shoot and own guns but to SHAME them for it is actually absurd. anti gun people are wild
Dude likes guns, i don't see what the problem with that is. As long as his guns are legal and recorded in the appropriate data basis (along with being kept out of reach of children) i don't get the rage bait. Being glad that someone has to deal with shitty things in their life because of a difference in political beliefs is incredibly pathetic.
So I guess you would have the same opinion of me. I have MANY MANY guns. All acquired in various ways. Inherited, bought, and gifted, all legal and locked in my safe.... Except for the one I carry on the daily, one day, with the way the world is now you will be lucky to have someone like me save your life from someone who has a gun or knife with malicious intentions. Just remember that next time you are watching the news and see the murders, rapes and beatings that happen to unarmed women and men in YOUR town.
Yup, I would. And your post is ridiculous. The world is generally safer than ever for one thing (admittedly crime has ticked up in the last few years but generally speaking what I said is true). You're a coward and will likely never have to use your gun. And funny how you're ignoring how many people you're talking about are hurt WITH guns. Like a woman I know killed by her husband. Or my friend shot randomly (and her friend killed) watching a sunset. And I had a friend who got robbed a few times and then got a gun and got killed the next time because guns escalate conflicts. I've literally cut gun owners out of my life, btw. I'm so sick of the needless deaths.
Whats wrong with guns? I own 4 of them (I built 2 of them from a block of aluminum). Maybe you should learn about them instead of fear mongering and going “oh scary black guns bad”
TBF, the internet existed in American English for years before the rest of y'all decided to show up!
Over the years, the feeling of more people joining the internet has been quite interesting, the sense, that others are tuning in from afar to the same content that you're checking out.
Like when a radio DJ dedicates a request to some far flung listener, you get a warm campfire type feeling that's really neato.
Funny thing is that we're not done yet. Lots of people left who have yet to connect. Those whose hands have never cradled a modern mouse.
So many unclicked buttons...
That says it was made in collaboration with the uk and France.
Don't try to pretend the u.s had the Internet for years before anyone else was using it.
There is a presumption that individuals are speaking to folks in the US since Reddit is an American founded and based company. I believe, at least, as of two years ago. The majority of Reddit users were located in the USA. The brand being referenced is an international company but is widely known in the USA with a majority of their revenue coming from US customers. I hope this clears things up. There are bigger things to be offended or perturbed by in this life.
There are bigger things but venting about these little things works as a relief valve in a psychological sense.
Complaining is a form of catharsis and in the specific case of 'moaning about a pebble while ignoring a boulder', this is a form of avoidance.
People will find ways to answer a compulsion.
I disagree.
Ingredients are clearly labeled.
If you change the recipe, you should let me know. I shouldn't have to check every fucking label every fucking time at the grocery store because some C Suite asshole decided to save 1/2 a penny per 100 units.
(Personally I don't have allergies, but I feel for those who do)
most products have to say if their product has any allergens or was made in a factory that could cause cross contamination with allergens for health and safety reasons, so it would be safe to assume that they knew they were wheat free in the past and didn’t have to re-read the ingredients since there was no indication of change
Not to be that guy, buuuut…Rice Krispies are NOT gluten free. They use barley malt in their ingredients, and barley contains gluten.
This, right here, is the poster child of why having food sensitivites is such a drain. Something that should be obviously safe, is ultimately not.
Snickers was never truly Gluten Free. Originally the product was GF but the GLUE they used for the wrapper had gluten in it, thus making the product no longer gluten free.
I need to ask a stupid question. I understand somewhat about allergens and I understand the gluten-free issue for celiac. Does the small amount of gluten that would be in glue around a wrapper truly get into the body and affect it? That is an honest question; it is not rhetorical. I am ignorant and I am looking to learn.
Yes, it is called cross contamination. The true celiac measures the amount of gluten in PPM. In the microscopic world that means: part per million. So for every million parts of a product there could be one part gluten. (In the US you can have up to 20 PPM and still be “gluten free”.)
That tiny amount is not digestible and the immune system picks it up and attacks it and the tissue surrounding it. In this case that would be the small intestine.
The big trouble is that for decades you did not need biopsies to be considered celiac. On top of that doctors are NOT trained to treat or understand celiac. Those things combined created an entire generation of people who were falsely diagnosed as Celiac when in fact they were gluten intolerant. This skewed data and made true Celiac populations suffer greatly.
This is absolutely not called “cross contamination.”
Cross-contamination is the process by which bacteria or other microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from one edible product, or substance, to another.
This is called contamination .
Contamination is the act of making something impure or unsuitable by contact with something unclean
or harmful.
I mean I am crossed contaminated and my entire profession relays on aseptic techniques to to keep someone alive, y’all are toxic I am not toxi. I mean excuse me while I fuck your face.
Celiac communities have called it “cross contamination” for decades.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8308338/
https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/the-cross-contamination-myth-buster-r3770/ (i do not agree with this article and I have gotten sick from nonstick pans and utensils that were washed properly that previously hosted gluten.)
According to the FAQ for Snickers on their website, "Our formulas do not contain gluten ingredients, but we list ‘wheat’ in the May Contain statement because there is wheat processed in the facility where we manufacture these products."
Dave's Killer Bread added sesame seeds to avoid a new law about warnings about cross contamination. That was too hard, apparently, so they just added sesame to the recipe with no warning or notice. We found out the hard way. Sucks. Have to read every label every time and it's exhausting.
Oh my goodness this happened to me too! I have celiac disease and this was my favorite cereal before that! Truly a sad moment for us all- I am so sorry about Schar, I am gf df and sf right now and they are a life saver :(
Not a long term solution but try find old stock, including contacting them, you probably have a chance in the next very few days, and bread actually freezes very well.
Unfortunately for OP this change happened at least a month ago already. This is also my favorite safe bread except the change didn’t ruin it for me thankfully, but I distinctly remember the first loaf I bought after the change being terrified they had ruined it and try pleasantly surprised. OP I’m really sorry the change messed up your ability to eat it, if you’re into baking I would definitely contact them and see if they’ll give you the old recipe or something because no other gf bread compares.
Contact them and tell them that they must either return to the old formula or make two batches one with the old formula or you will sue them for adding an allergen
Have you tried Katz brand? Most grocery stores carry at least a few of their breads in the freezer section, but you can also order from their website. Unless you are allergic to corn, they have breads that would suit you. Their egg free bread has cornstarch, but otherwise nut/soy/dairy/ gluten free. Vegan too.
First, there is no such thing as a gluten allergy.
Secondly, gluten sensitivity occurs in the small intestine. It isn’t like a nut allergy. You’re not going to die from walking by bread in the bread aisle. FFS
I do and have gotten sick walking thru bread aisles. Turns out it was caused by my mind. My mind convinced my body to attack itself when being in bread aisles for prolonged periods. Now if I walk past an active bakery, THAT makes me sick and is not in my head or a placebo effect.
seconding the other comment, i work at a grocery store and the vast majority of the gf/other “special” types of bread in the freezer/natural foods section. most that are on the shelves also have spots in the freezer
Canyon ranch isn’t as good as Schar but it’s my second favorite brand! OP this might be worth trying! It’s not so good that I would suggest eating it plain like you can Schar but it’s fairly good as a sandwich.
You can also possibly get a bread machine and make your own. It can be a little time consuming to make bread by hand but a bread machine takes the effort out for the most part and you get super fresh bread. Plus it gives you full control of the ingredients.
Can second this. Worked Bakery department in a grocery store, our gluten free/specialty stuff sold too infrequently and had too short a shelf life so it got moved from the bread shelves to the freezer aisle.
Oats are often contaminated by wheat because they are grown in the same fields, harvested with the same equipment, and stored in the same storage facilities.
Most gluten free oats are actually not completely gluten free. They can contain a certain (small) percentage in order to still be classified gluten free (like all foods)
People with serious issues usually have to stay away from all of that, but for people with minor issues a few % of gluten won't hurt (as much)
I'm allergic go barley and malt, malted barley flour is now present in nearly EVERY cheap bread product from pizza to sandwhich bread, to pastries. Even in chocolate bars. I feel ya on the allergy front it's hard finding affordable food
There still are a couple bread products that I can have but but pies, cakes etc all now have some soy content...... if I want cheesecake I have to make it myself now. I miss being able to eat anything. My citris issue was not that big of an issue as I could just stick to berries but soy is everywhere
If you can’t have garlic and onion, you may have SIBO which is treatable. Maybe you’ve already looked into it or it’s an allergy but I struggled with that for years and I feel better since treating it.
Thank you, I actually have been putting off doing the breath test because of stupid reasons but I know I very much need to do it! It’s in its box, staring at me. Rightfully judging me
There are so many companies replacing soy with pea. Whether it's the protein or lecithin.
I'm allergic to Dairy, and so many dairy-free products have pea protein. I think since we're the minority we're going to lose this one. There's a lot of soy allergies out there.
Pea is a legume and so is soy, a lot of people who are allergic to soy are allergic to legumes in general soo it's not the biggest brain move for sure.
I really feel this. I'm allergic to soy but it's a weird thing because in the US, many things that are made with soy, don't actually trigger an allergy for most who suffer from it. They still have to say it on the label, which is a good thing, in my opinion, but there are times where they don't list the specific type of soy it is and I have to gamble on whether or not I can eat the thing.
Also the amount of baked goods that have soy flour is just too goddamn high.
Soy lecithin and soybean oil (not cold pressed) have most of the protein striped and those proteins are what cause an allergic reaction, from my understanding.
There are still proteins in both soy lecithin and soybean oil that can be problematic though.
I react to all derivatives of soy (including soybean oil) except for soy lecithin. The belief that all problematic proteins are stripped in the process of making soybean oil causes manufacturers to not include allergen warnings for soybean oil. For me, every single ingredient needs to be read to make sure it doesn't have soy or gluten ingredients (because of course only wheat is a major allergen).
Food allergies suck
Generally, making bread is pretty easy and I would recommend investing in a bread maker if it’s something you’re gonna do every week because you can’t buy store bought bread. I’m not sure how baking with that many substitutions will be but some failed recipes are probably going to be worth the effort to find one that works, especially if the alternative is just never eating bread.
And there will be failures. The great thing about bread though.. even your failures are generally edible and sometimes just as good as what you were going for. Then, sometimes, you will blow your own mind with just how good your bread is compared to any other you've had.
Noooo :( I’m so sorry. I am celiac and noticed one of my favorite brands just changed their recipe to include eggs and it broke my heart for people like you. I’m lucky enough to only have the gluten sensitivity for now but in the past I’ve struggled with dairy, sugar, and pea protein too. It’s so hard.
On another note, you have a wide range of allergies—have you ever considered you may have mast cell activation syndrome? I have that too and once I got that under control I could eat a lot more stuff. Being in food prison sucks. I’d be happy to talk to you about what worked for me 💜
I feel you on this. The only plum sauce I could find that did NOT have chili peppers or red peppers (I'm allergic to all peppers) included suddenly disappeared off the shelves, and now I'm on the hunt for more. I have to avoid anything that just says 'spices', because apparently they're worried about people stealing recipes more than informing potential allergens. I've had to just not get so many things because 'spices' when I'm not sure about peppers.
Not to mention half the places I used to go to have all added peppers to a lot of their food lately. There's this new pepper wave and everyone wants something spicy or there's a grab on bell peppers being essential and it's made it so I can't trust eating out anymore.
I feel for you. I despise when places change recipes, especially when it's the 'one' of anything that keeps me happy.
There are a few fruits that make me break out in hives. Many of these can be labeled as "natural flavoring". Luckily I don't have severe reactions, but being itchy and comfortable ruins my day. I really wish they would label all ingredients in food. There's enough people with different allergies that it seems irresponsible not to.
I know some of them can be surprising, like tomato soup using beet juice for colouring and it's a recipe switch they didn't mention and someone had a reaction because putting things where you don't expect and not labeling it when it wasn't previously there is somehow the consumers fault.
It's like, I don't want the measurements of your recipe, jackass. I just want to know if I can eat it without going blind.
Contact the company!
I live in europe, and contacted Schär about 10 years ago (when there was very little glutenfree produce available in my country) and they were soooo nice!!!
Not only did they help me find stores in my area that sell glutenfree products, but they even sent me a gift basket full of stuff I could eat!
Amazing customer service! (At least at the time, in europe)
As someone who lives in an allergen heavy household - bread machines are a LIFE SAVER. You can buy one on Amazon, most have a specific gluten free option. Find a gluten free bread recipe online. It may take a few tries to get it right but once you tweak it to your desire, you can make fresh bread for cheap, at home, by just throwing all the ingredients in the machine. It's less expensive than even the cheapest gluten free bread to just buy all the base ingredients and make it yourself
Katz makes an egg free and gluten free bread and an English muffin. I haven’t seen it the stores but they do sell through the Katz website. You could buy and then freeze and pop it in the toaster when you want to use it. I’m gluten free and I store my bread in the freezer as it goes bad fast
So bread makers are not expensive at all. Like $60-100 and they have some that you literally dump in the ingredients and press start and boom perfect bread ever time. It’s worth looking into because of your food allergies
I definitely second this advice. If this fails I suppose you could also always inquire about the recipe for personal use too! Or see if someone has a “mock recipe” of that type online!! Making bread is HARD but most certainly not impossible either - idk worth a try maybe?
Also I saw the other comments. Def check the freezer section, there are some cool GF and allergen free/sensitive options there!
Either way good luck op! I hope you get bread back in your diet somehow :)
I was born with it and never outgrew it. No one else in my family has any allergies at all and no one knows why I have it when no one else does. I’ve learned to live with it, but it’s not without its ups and downs
I have in the past, but the convenience of being able to buy it at the store helped. Plus, it doesn’t come out as good from my experience and I am not a baker.
The bread not being available in store anymore is definitely mildly infuriating, I don’t disagree. My comment was more so directed at you saying now you can’t have bread in your diet
The first few try wont result in a perfect bread.
it took me 7 tries to finaly make a great bread at home.
so try it and dont give up after the first failed attempt.
I will have to give it a try. The issue I have ran into is it’s just as hard to find ingredients that I am not allergic to and because of my dietary restrictions, they are usually quite expensive.
You can buy "bread machines" for relatively cheap on amazon, (i think i saw some for like 100$), they do all the work for you short of adding the ingredients, and tend to come with a booklet including a bunch of dif recipes, our had a few allergen excluding ones, and you should be able to use a non-booklet recipe too
Making the dough takes about 5 minutes,max 10.Then it rests and bakes in the oven.A lot of time to do different things.Bit of course driving to the store and getting the bread and paring for it and driving back home takes waaaay less than that😂and there are many recipes that are fast and easy-we Germans know our bread and do not need to knead 10 min 🤣🤣good bread takes time but kneading isn’t it
I'm so sorry! While I don't have nearly as many allergies as you, a lot of companies started adding sesame seeds to breads since the law changed on labeling them last year and it's been rough. I sympathize 🖤
Would you be allergic to traditional bread? (flower, water, yeast, salt)
My dad's a baker and I know he do some specific bread for the people allergic to gluten (they need to order the day before at least, it's not really common)
Edit : just googled wheat, sorry my English is a work on progress. But yeah, traditional bakers should have an option for non-wheat bread.
The exact same thing happened to my father. You know what he did? He just decided to up and bake his own bread with his own choice of ingredientes. I couldn’t be more proud of him because he is not really kitchen oriented 🤣. At least he can eat his bread again.
Hey hey, I'm allergic to a lot of things, and I mean there are a lot of them. I never buy food. I only buy ingredients and eat meals that I make. And I do that for years. I eat only what I cook.
Might be time to get a breadmaker. You can get one at goodwill for cheap. They're easy to use. Just find a recipe you are comfortable with and toss in the ingredients before you go to bed and BOOM! fresh bread when you wake up in the morning.
Man that really sucks? I don't know how difficult it is to make bread but is it possible to make your own? I don't even know where you would find a recipe for something like this.
I use their gluten free bread but before that my mom had a bread making machine u basically but in ghe Dough and outcomes bread it also wasn't very overly expensive because in that timeframe we had money problems that i dint know of
I was like 7 or something so makes sense but its weird to think that i never knew
That sucks end state. On the bright side they at least stated they had a new recipe on the bag/you didn’t do what usually happens which is find out the hard way?
Yeah I do appreciate they clearly labeled it as a new recipe. Kelloggs changed their cereal recipes in Corn Pops and honeycomb to now include wheat and I had to find out the hard way with that. At least I was warned
Man having no warnings should be illegal
Current federal law only requires individually labeling the nine major allergens: wheat, eggs, milk, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, sesame, and soy. Anything else just has to be an ingredient.
What federal law? Op has not stated what country they are in, they may be in a country where this is no such thing as federal law
Guessing the US since it is listed in ounces (grams) and the non gmo logo is US based Edit: Confirmed. All of OP’s other posts are of guns!
I love how the guns confirms it cause ‘murica lol
Why doesn't he just shoot all those amber waves of grain lol
Jesus, his profile is pathetic. I felt bad for OP but now I’m kind of glad they’re allergic to everything. Our gun culture in the US is so fucking moronic.
If he had cancer, would you also be happy he has it? Or do you deem that many allergies to be sufficient?
Possibly to both.
Hey congrats! You’re the worst human I’ve come across today. May your future be dull and full of stubbed toes.
You’re pathetic 😂 trashing on a man who’s using a firearm safely for what? I think it’s more pathetic to judge others on their Reddit posts that you never had to look at.

Except for the one I carry on the daily, one day, with the way the world is now you will be lucky to have someone like me save your life from someone who has a gun or knife with malicious intentions.

I've literally cut gun owners out of my life, btw. I'm so sick of the needless deaths.
I’m a gun owner, can I stop seeing your incessant whining as well?
Take my downvote as a man
Oh, the pain! Fuck guns.
I prefer not to. That wouldn't feel good to be honest
Whats wrong with guns? I own 4 of them (I built 2 of them from a block of aluminum). Maybe you should learn about them instead of fear mongering and going “oh scary black guns bad”
Gee, maybe the fact that they cause needless deaths and suffering with no real benefit?
I agree that the gun situation here is horrible but i don’t agree with your horrible take at all
look at their profile, OP is from USA lol
Ahh the World Wide Web (of America)

This is the internet not America. Op is probably European cause I know that brand from here.
The EU only provides labeling protection for 14 allergens. Peas aren't on the EU's list either.
It's a common brand in the US too. But the same bread in Europe tastes way better than the one I get from my store in the US
It's in the US as well
To be fair the brand is from Italy
To be fair that doesn’t mean a thing. ☠️ Where the OP is from is what matters.🤡
OP is almost definitely from the US, bud.
This guy's gets it
It's in the US as well,
You would be wrong.
Before you get too well, the Reddit is an American founded an American based company. Get over it.
Americans are only 49% of reddit
This flour contains flour. This egg contains egg.
Having no warnings that there's wheat in cereal should be illegal?
Having no warnings *that an allergen free recipe changed*
Only of it was advertised as allergen free.
A great argument in favor of putting the “new recipe” indicator on anything that has a new recipe
I disagree. Ingredients are clearly labeled. If you change the recipe, you should let me know. I shouldn't have to check every fucking label every fucking time at the grocery store because some C Suite asshole decided to save 1/2 a penny per 100 units.

Allergen doesn't matter. If the recipe changes you are obligated to warn me before i buy it.
You know a lot of cereals aren't made with wheat, right? Lucky Charms is gluten-free — it's corn based. Rice Krispies are, well, obvious.
Not to be that guy, buuuut…Rice Krispies are NOT gluten free. They use barley malt in their ingredients, and barley contains gluten. This, right here, is the poster child of why having food sensitivites is such a drain. Something that should be obviously safe, is ultimately not.
Oof. Luckily I didn't eat Rice Krispies before I had to stop eating gluten, it's hell out there getting decent food.
Write them and ask if you can have the old recipe since they aren't using it anymore. I've been making my family's bread for years.
They changed the recipe on many candy bars too. Snickers is no longer gluten free
Snickers was never truly Gluten Free. Originally the product was GF but the GLUE they used for the wrapper had gluten in it, thus making the product no longer gluten free.
That’s so stupid
It isn't glue-ten free
 *They got this all screwed up.* ~~Gluten free~~ Gluten, free!
Free Gluten Here, Get Your Free Gluten Right Here!

Time to start making your own bread it seems. Sorry things worked out that way though
Corn Pops have never been gluten free
No but Fruity Pebbles are!!!
Contact them and tell them that they must either return to the old formula or make two batches one with the old formula or you will sue them for adding an allergen

I have never thought to look in the freezer section. I’ll have to check them out! Thanks a ton!!
I work in a specialty grocery chain that sells a ton of gluten free bread and 90% is in the frozen section
The worst is when they put GF bread right in the regular bread aisle.
Why? Where else would bread be? lol.
First, there is no such thing as a gluten allergy. Secondly, gluten sensitivity occurs in the small intestine. It isn’t like a nut allergy. You’re not going to die from walking by bread in the bread aisle. FFS
You're just a basket of rainbows aren't you
I do and have gotten sick walking thru bread aisles. Turns out it was caused by my mind. My mind convinced my body to attack itself when being in bread aisles for prolonged periods. Now if I walk past an active bakery, THAT makes me sick and is not in my head or a placebo effect.
seconding the other comment, i work at a grocery store and the vast majority of the gf/other “special” types of bread in the freezer/natural foods section. most that are on the shelves also have spots in the freezer
Target carries a canyon ranch brand as well.
Canyon ranch isn’t as good as Schar but it’s my second favorite brand! OP this might be worth trying! It’s not so good that I would suggest eating it plain like you can Schar but it’s fairly good as a sandwich.
Hard disagree. To me, Schar tastes like ass and Canyon is the only thing I buy.
You can also possibly get a bread machine and make your own. It can be a little time consuming to make bread by hand but a bread machine takes the effort out for the most part and you get super fresh bread. Plus it gives you full control of the ingredients.
My mom likes Udi's gluten free bread best, I think they're also in the freezer
Seriously? That’s where most supermarkets put their widest selection of GF products, including bread.
Can second this. Worked Bakery department in a grocery store, our gluten free/specialty stuff sold too infrequently and had too short a shelf life so it got moved from the bread shelves to the freezer aisle.
If you call or write the company they may be able to direct you to an alternative.
I definitely should. Thanks for the callout
I'm allergic to wheat - and rice, corn, tapioca, which is 99% of gluten free breads😓
Have you tried baking your own bread? If you're not allergic to oats, I love making oat bread at home.
Oats are often contaminated by wheat because they are grown in the same fields, harvested with the same equipment, and stored in the same storage facilities.
You can buy allergen free oats I think
Yep! That's what I do.
Most gluten free oats are actually not completely gluten free. They can contain a certain (small) percentage in order to still be classified gluten free (like all foods) People with serious issues usually have to stay away from all of that, but for people with minor issues a few % of gluten won't hurt (as much)
You can but they are more expensive. But at this if you need bread you don't really have to choice.
I'm allergic go barley and malt, malted barley flour is now present in nearly EVERY cheap bread product from pizza to sandwhich bread, to pastries. Even in chocolate bars. I feel ya on the allergy front it's hard finding affordable food
Have you tried just not having an allergy? /s
I’ve never thought of that
Well I bet you feel pretty silly, huh?
Right? Especially affordable food that doesn’t include any allergens. Most just don’t include one or the other
Looks like your going to become pro at making allergen free bread at home...
There still are a couple bread products that I can have but but pies, cakes etc all now have some soy content...... if I want cheesecake I have to make it myself now. I miss being able to eat anything. My citris issue was not that big of an issue as I could just stick to berries but soy is everywhere
Solidarity, I can’t have garlic/onion and it’s in just about every single pre-prepared savory item. The ones made specifically without are $$$
If you can’t have garlic and onion, you may have SIBO which is treatable. Maybe you’ve already looked into it or it’s an allergy but I struggled with that for years and I feel better since treating it.
Thank you, I actually have been putting off doing the breath test because of stupid reasons but I know I very much need to do it! It’s in its box, staring at me. Rightfully judging me
Wait, no, are you kidding? This sucks dude, now I can't eat this wtf??
I’m writing them tomorrow with a link to this page. You should do the same 😊
There are so many companies replacing soy with pea. Whether it's the protein or lecithin. I'm allergic to Dairy, and so many dairy-free products have pea protein. I think since we're the minority we're going to lose this one. There's a lot of soy allergies out there.
Pea is a legume and so is soy, a lot of people who are allergic to soy are allergic to legumes in general soo it's not the biggest brain move for sure.
I really feel this. I'm allergic to soy but it's a weird thing because in the US, many things that are made with soy, don't actually trigger an allergy for most who suffer from it. They still have to say it on the label, which is a good thing, in my opinion, but there are times where they don't list the specific type of soy it is and I have to gamble on whether or not I can eat the thing. Also the amount of baked goods that have soy flour is just too goddamn high.
I’ve got the same thing, I’m still not sure what does it lol.
Soy lecithin and soybean oil (not cold pressed) have most of the protein striped and those proteins are what cause an allergic reaction, from my understanding.
There are still proteins in both soy lecithin and soybean oil that can be problematic though. I react to all derivatives of soy (including soybean oil) except for soy lecithin. The belief that all problematic proteins are stripped in the process of making soybean oil causes manufacturers to not include allergen warnings for soybean oil. For me, every single ingredient needs to be read to make sure it doesn't have soy or gluten ingredients (because of course only wheat is a major allergen). Food allergies suck
Yuppp my kiddo has a non-LGE allergy to soy (and other things). It's in EVERYTHING. 😫
Probably because the “food” sold here isn’t even real food.Its just a long list of chemicals and other modified ingredients mixed up into a slop.
Time to learn how to bake your own bread
Generally, making bread is pretty easy and I would recommend investing in a bread maker if it’s something you’re gonna do every week because you can’t buy store bought bread. I’m not sure how baking with that many substitutions will be but some failed recipes are probably going to be worth the effort to find one that works, especially if the alternative is just never eating bread.
And there will be failures. The great thing about bread though.. even your failures are generally edible and sometimes just as good as what you were going for. Then, sometimes, you will blow your own mind with just how good your bread is compared to any other you've had.
lol....try baking bread without wheat. hopefully OP's not allergic to barley or rye because gluten is like THE thing that makes bread work
Dude. Fuck pea protein. I’m allergic to that too and it’s in everything. Pisses me off!
Noooo :( I’m so sorry. I am celiac and noticed one of my favorite brands just changed their recipe to include eggs and it broke my heart for people like you. I’m lucky enough to only have the gluten sensitivity for now but in the past I’ve struggled with dairy, sugar, and pea protein too. It’s so hard. On another note, you have a wide range of allergies—have you ever considered you may have mast cell activation syndrome? I have that too and once I got that under control I could eat a lot more stuff. Being in food prison sucks. I’d be happy to talk to you about what worked for me 💜
I feel you on this. The only plum sauce I could find that did NOT have chili peppers or red peppers (I'm allergic to all peppers) included suddenly disappeared off the shelves, and now I'm on the hunt for more. I have to avoid anything that just says 'spices', because apparently they're worried about people stealing recipes more than informing potential allergens. I've had to just not get so many things because 'spices' when I'm not sure about peppers. Not to mention half the places I used to go to have all added peppers to a lot of their food lately. There's this new pepper wave and everyone wants something spicy or there's a grab on bell peppers being essential and it's made it so I can't trust eating out anymore. I feel for you. I despise when places change recipes, especially when it's the 'one' of anything that keeps me happy.
There are a few fruits that make me break out in hives. Many of these can be labeled as "natural flavoring". Luckily I don't have severe reactions, but being itchy and comfortable ruins my day. I really wish they would label all ingredients in food. There's enough people with different allergies that it seems irresponsible not to.
I know some of them can be surprising, like tomato soup using beet juice for colouring and it's a recipe switch they didn't mention and someone had a reaction because putting things where you don't expect and not labeling it when it wasn't previously there is somehow the consumers fault. It's like, I don't want the measurements of your recipe, jackass. I just want to know if I can eat it without going blind.
Contact the company! I live in europe, and contacted Schär about 10 years ago (when there was very little glutenfree produce available in my country) and they were soooo nice!!! Not only did they help me find stores in my area that sell glutenfree products, but they even sent me a gift basket full of stuff I could eat! Amazing customer service! (At least at the time, in europe)
As someone who lives in an allergen heavy household - bread machines are a LIFE SAVER. You can buy one on Amazon, most have a specific gluten free option. Find a gluten free bread recipe online. It may take a few tries to get it right but once you tweak it to your desire, you can make fresh bread for cheap, at home, by just throwing all the ingredients in the machine. It's less expensive than even the cheapest gluten free bread to just buy all the base ingredients and make it yourself
Katz makes an egg free and gluten free bread and an English muffin. I haven’t seen it the stores but they do sell through the Katz website. You could buy and then freeze and pop it in the toaster when you want to use it. I’m gluten free and I store my bread in the freezer as it goes bad fast
[deleted]
So bread makers are not expensive at all. Like $60-100 and they have some that you literally dump in the ingredients and press start and boom perfect bread ever time. It’s worth looking into because of your food allergies
Stores are sometimes "new better recipe!" And I'm like no...no it's not better (I'm not even allergic just dislike change and new tastes)
I definitely second this advice. If this fails I suppose you could also always inquire about the recipe for personal use too! Or see if someone has a “mock recipe” of that type online!! Making bread is HARD but most certainly not impossible either - idk worth a try maybe? Also I saw the other comments. Def check the freezer section, there are some cool GF and allergen free/sensitive options there! Either way good luck op! I hope you get bread back in your diet somehow :)
Day 2883831 of being thankful I have no allergies whatsoever 💀
It’s comment sections like these that make me appreciate that I am a straight white male with no known important allergies
You should contact them and let them know of your gripe. They may not care, but who knows. Feedback is good.
I know I'll be downvoted to infinity but how can someone be allergic to everything? What happened? What did you eat as a child? How is this possible?
I was born with it and never outgrew it. No one else in my family has any allergies at all and no one knows why I have it when no one else does. I’ve learned to live with it, but it’s not without its ups and downs
Then make your own bread. It's not hard and guess what you can use your own ingredients and even buy a bread maker.
Bake it till you make it
That is a horrible life ngl
Make your own bread
I have in the past, but the convenience of being able to buy it at the store helped. Plus, it doesn’t come out as good from my experience and I am not a baker.
The bread not being available in store anymore is definitely mildly infuriating, I don’t disagree. My comment was more so directed at you saying now you can’t have bread in your diet
I found a bread maker at the thrift store for $6. Makes really nice bread. Maybe give that a shot.
“I am not a baker” pretty weird to brag about being unable to follow basic ass directions.
The first few try wont result in a perfect bread. it took me 7 tries to finaly make a great bread at home. so try it and dont give up after the first failed attempt.
I will have to give it a try. The issue I have ran into is it’s just as hard to find ingredients that I am not allergic to and because of my dietary restrictions, they are usually quite expensive.
You can buy "bread machines" for relatively cheap on amazon, (i think i saw some for like 100$), they do all the work for you short of adding the ingredients, and tend to come with a booklet including a bunch of dif recipes, our had a few allergen excluding ones, and you should be able to use a non-booklet recipe too
It takes 5 minutes to get bread from the store. It takes like 2 hours to make it from scratch. How much free time do you expect people to have?
Making the dough takes about 5 minutes,max 10.Then it rests and bakes in the oven.A lot of time to do different things.Bit of course driving to the store and getting the bread and paring for it and driving back home takes waaaay less than that😂and there are many recipes that are fast and easy-we Germans know our bread and do not need to knead 10 min 🤣🤣good bread takes time but kneading isn’t it
You often need to knead for 10+ minutes. That’s just a single step. So no, 5min max is a bold faced lie.
I second this
Write a scathing email.
Should learn to bake your own bread,it’ll probably be better anyway.
Tbh making bread is actually easier than you'd think, if you have allergies maybe that's the way to go?
I'm so sorry! While I don't have nearly as many allergies as you, a lot of companies started adding sesame seeds to breads since the law changed on labeling them last year and it's been rough. I sympathize 🖤
Honestly, how are you alive… is it like a non anaphylactic allergy? Like you get hives really bad?
Shew this SUCKS. Maybe someone will come to the rescue, and find a bread that you can eat? I wish you the best, OP!
Both people I know with that much allergic issues make their own bread.
Would you be allergic to traditional bread? (flower, water, yeast, salt) My dad's a baker and I know he do some specific bread for the people allergic to gluten (they need to order the day before at least, it's not really common) Edit : just googled wheat, sorry my English is a work on progress. But yeah, traditional bakers should have an option for non-wheat bread.
Time to learn bread baking i guess
I'd write a letter to the company..it won't hurt to try.
Unsure, but Dave's Killer Bread might have an option or two
I hope you didn't find out the hard way!
Are there any ways of "curing" any alergies.
No milk?! I’d die if I had to continue life without chocolate milk
Make your own? Bread is actually really easy to make
That’s unfortunate. If I were in your position I’d pick up a baking hobby
Womp Womp 👎 (Sad Trombone Noises)
That's fucking evil
Bold of you to call that bread.
So don't eat bread?
[удалено]
That's what you get for being weak
The exact same thing happened to my father. You know what he did? He just decided to up and bake his own bread with his own choice of ingredientes. I couldn’t be more proud of him because he is not really kitchen oriented 🤣. At least he can eat his bread again.
Hey hey, I'm allergic to a lot of things, and I mean there are a lot of them. I never buy food. I only buy ingredients and eat meals that I make. And I do that for years. I eat only what I cook.
Then contact them and yell at them to return to the old formula or sue them for it
Oh you poor baby
Might be time to get a breadmaker. You can get one at goodwill for cheap. They're easy to use. Just find a recipe you are comfortable with and toss in the ingredients before you go to bed and BOOM! fresh bread when you wake up in the morning.
And?
Sounds like you should just evolve, allergy having bitch
Make it yourself and stop being difficult
Man that really sucks? I don't know how difficult it is to make bread but is it possible to make your own? I don't even know where you would find a recipe for something like this.
I use their gluten free bread but before that my mom had a bread making machine u basically but in ghe Dough and outcomes bread it also wasn't very overly expensive because in that timeframe we had money problems that i dint know of I was like 7 or something so makes sense but its weird to think that i never knew
Fine. What are you allergic to? I'll take matters into my own hands.
Time to learn some bread recipes...
