To my knowledge, most grits are gluten free, just watch out what you put on them. I use buttter(real) and salt and pepper and a grade my own Kraft cheddar cheese.

Look, sometimes on the ingredience of real better, then check the same for margerine. :blink::blink:

I guess the question is what's the risk factor of cross contamination with Quaker brand Grits? Is there a brand of grits which is made by a company who specializes in gluten-free grains?

well, I've also gotten Arrowhead Mills White Corn Grits before and they were just fine...

I honestly have never had any problem with Quaker Grits... I called the company to make sure they were safe and I was assured that they were. They told me they are made in a completely separate facility than the oatmeal products.

I agree....I too have never had a problem w/ Quaker grits...in fact I live off the instant ones b/c they are easy to pack when traveling, going to work, etc.

I also eat Quaker Quick Grits every morning, and I don't seem to be having trouble with them.

P.S. Go Gators! 34-7

i had heard that Quaker wouldn't guarantee anything, but i didn't check it out with regard to grits. good to know they are ok.

what is the difference with stone ground? i'm curious. :)

Because of the processes used in plants handling multiple grains, you are always better off to choose a mfr who has a corn only facility. Dixie Lily is available in the south. Try Kroger if your local grocer does not carry it.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
