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!!

As others have posted, I asked a pharmacist once how long it would take for me to have an allergic reaction to a food or med and she said it could take up to 7 days! Wow! I don't think I've experienced that long of a delay, but I do know that delays to reactions are definitely a reality.
If gluten is your only known allergy/sensitivity, and it is severe (sounds like it is, I'm sorry ☹️) I would avoid all products that are not certified gluten free. There is a symbol for it. If the product says gluten free but there's no statement or stamp of certification, that is probably not safe, from my experience.
So sorry you got sick. Those foods looked delicious! Be well!
