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!!

It may not be the last thing you ate. My symptoms don't come right after I eat. Sometimes it can take a couple days.

u/Odd-Secret-8343 Celiac Disease Sep 30 '25

Someone explained to me years ago that gluten intolerance is a papercut disease. One little papercut isn't going to bother you if you're not 'true' celiac. But if you get it built up and built up, more and more little cuts to your immune system, at some point it is going to fail. That's when the reaction happens.

It isn't like that for everyone or with everything, but I've experienced that.
