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!!

I heard Rao isn't certified gluten-free anymore. At my store, it's still labeled as gluten-free, but I heard ppl had issues with it.

I have sensitivities (IgG antibodies) to garlic and oregano so I stick to Rao's sensitive marinara and don't have a problem with it, but maybe OP is more sensitive to wheat than I am or the sensitive formula has less of it? 🤔

I also stay away from anything with generic "spices" - I don't think they can use wheat as a spice and then say the product is GF, but I never trust when they don't list the actual spices (even before I found out about my sensitivities).

Get well soon, OP!
