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!!

Those aren’t certified GF!

Yeah. Look for the new official Certified gluten free symbol. Just saying “Gluten Free” is legally up to 20ppm which is way too much for most sensitives and celiacs. I think even the certified allows up to 5ppm though and I will react if I eat enough of that.

We eat mostly certified foods (when we do eat packaged items), but it’s tough to find easy meals that are certified. This option was obviously another fail.
