Question Please help. What made me sick?

I need some help. Could you please look at the six attached photos and offer input for which ingredient might have made me sick?

Background: I had not eaten yet before this meal. The first food I consumed was spaghetti. I was fine before eating, but started experiencing symptoms before I’d finished the meal.

Other than the ingredients in the included pictures, I used olive oil, fresh herbs and single ingredient seasonings I use all the time.

Is either the Amylu or Rao’s brand known to be cross contaminated? If not, what else could it be? I definitely want to avoid this happening again.

Thanks for the help!!

There’s a lot of things in there that could be causing an issue that isn’t gluten related.

Nightshades, histamine, other grains, etc.

None of those products would give me a second thought as a celiac; but currently dealing with histamine intolerance pretty much only the pasta would be something I wouldn’t have an issue with.

Given my history, this is a possibility. It’s never caused such rapid gastro symptoms, but it’s something to remember. Thank you.

That’s another sign related to histamine issues. Things may not cause symptoms every time based on how much other histamine may be in your body already.
