Tripe is cow intestines.
She changed the family's diet for one week and the kids' behaviors and attitudes and general crankiness totally changed. They begged her to back on real food after that ... Which resulted in a relapse of the old behavior.
She's researched it a bit since then, but everything they have now has no additives or preservatives. Costs a little more and it makes shopping a treasure hunt. Or the other hand, I was surprised when she brought Steak Ums burgers to my house for a BBQ, but the package listed beef as the only ingredient. I would've thought that Steak Ums would be junk. Who knew?
Well, she did. Me, I got more to learn.
For long life....no junk food, soft drinks, and get a physically demanding job.
see how they do it here:

Hey there,
Latex (liquid natural rubber) is NEVER used as a mold release agent. The heat of curing (vulcanization) will cause the natural rubber to burn. LIQUID RUBBER (Latex) is NEVER used in injection or compression molding, but WAS the primary component in dip or cold molding for IV line additive ports, tubing and gloves.
DRY natural rubber is used in vulcanized products, not so much now with the synthetic isoprenes available.
The most likely mold release used is a mixture of water and graphite and polysiloxane (silicone oil) which withstands the high heat of curing temps.
The proteins in natural rubber are denatured during high temp molding processes and, rarely, cause reactions in the general population. Many people become sensitized to NR over the course of years because they wore latex gloves or had natural rubber in their undergarment elastics. Some premature infants also are sensitive depending on their immune system or presence of birth defects like spina bifida.
Nevertheless, personal tolerances to allergens is wide and varied. I had a terrible reaction to shrimp, never had any problems before and after not eating shell fish for a few year, I can eat all shell fish again.
Regards.
“Tripe” is the stomach of a cow or ox.
Chitterlings “Chitlins” are usually pork intestines, cleaned, boiled and deep fried.
Not good eats...
Really? I thought it was cow tongue...when our friends were cooking their tripe (around 3 in the morning), maybe I was really tired and thought they said “tongue”.
:-)
I concur; I buy only OEM for all my phone and computer stuff.
Like I said I have always had food allergies but the problem with flavor enhancers came after I ate Jenny Craig boxed meals for about 3 weeks. I felt like hammered sh.. As my dad used to say. I stopped eating the JC crap and in a few days I felt OK again. But after that I finally realized that I had become sensitized to MSG. It affects my heart and gives me thundering irregular heart beats which we know can cause you to have a stroke. When the doctor reminded me of that I got serious about discovering what was causing it. Damn you Jenny Craig!
Shoot, a lot of my doctors, nurses, dentists don’t even ask about latex—they leave it up to you to tell them, and if you forget to they just go to work on you with a kind of reckless abandon. So I wear an allergy bracelet and have a copy of all my allergies, esp. latex to hand directly to the person. I also carry a copy around with me so if I am rendered incapable of communication, hopefully they will follow the directions.
Really?
Did the girl lick the darn power cord?
Mold release is on every thing that is cast. Under most manufacturing conditions it is not washed off. It is generally pretty much innocuous. It is a good practice to clean anything purchased.
Young girls are sometimes prone to hysterical reactions, causes of are difficult to pinpoint. They are also not renowned for critical thinking common sense.
Peanut butter, latex...I don’t remember them making people ill when I was a kid 60+ years ago...
I though tripe was the stomach lining.
I used to work in a Music Store.
The box of Congo Drums made in China released the most HORRIBLE chemical odor upon being opened. Everybody (including the employees) RAN out of the store.
That was in 2007. Long before we found out they were poisoning our dog food!
Glad you are OK. But I gotta ask, you still kept the cord?
My Mom and her sister absolutely love tongue. It is their favorite dish. They say it is the most tender roast you will ever have. My Dad, thankfully, hates it so I have no memory of eating it as a child, though my Mom assures me I did. She just told us it was a roast.
Regarding allergic reactions, I developed an allergy to penicillins (same reaction as your niece) half way through my prescription. Doctor told me you can become allergic to anything at anytime, it makes it very hard to pinpoint what exactly is causing the reaction. I tested with the next dose of meds and immediately had the same reaction-I know for certain it was the culprit.
If they really wanted to know they could see an allergist for testing. It’s expensive and I’m not sure how many uncommon allergens they can test for. My son has had the pin prick on the back test for environmental allergens (36 out of 40 reacted!) and another had a blood test for food and environmental allergens. If it is a hard to identify and rare allergen they usually just make sure you have the meds you need for an allergic reaction at all times as identifying the allergen can be very costly endeavor.
I will eat anything that doesn’t eat me first!............
About 3-4 months ago my blood pressure went from great to high and my heart rate sky-rocketed; it is hammering hard all the time. It’s even hard to fall asleep as it is racing and pounding in my chest. I cook almost all our food from scratch-no canned anything but tomatoes and nothing in a box. Heart disease runs in my family, but I have also been wondering if I maybe have thyroid problems, the racing heart and a few other symptoms are similar to hyperthyroidism.
Your comment gave me an epiphany! While I am careful about what I eat at home, our church has a potluck every Sunday so who knows what I am eating there? Probably tons of MSG.
>> A warning about buying from Wal-mart? <<
Just wait until FR’s merry little band of Walmart bashers discovers this thread!
As you have stated, mold releases (whether product or packaging) are prime suspects.
Also, printed material may have similar powder (puffed onto newly printed sheets to prevent ink transfer from previous sheet.)
Consumer products don’t go through rigors of bio-compatibility studies, as medical product must.
Not just cheap charger cords. All molded plastic products are suspect. Keep the epipen close.
What’s going on with these strange allergic reactions? Peanut allergy has become epidemic.
