Bulk Barn

Hi everyone,

I recently discovered that Bulk Barn store, has Gluten-free bins. They have clear labels of which item, such as brown rice flour, that is Gluten free, and tag the scoops, to identify them for gluten-free use. So I think they really tried hard to cater to those in need for gluten-free baking.

It seems like a great way to buy gluten-free ingredients, for a much cheaper price. But the question remains can we trust the bulk bins to really remain gluten-free ?

What do you think? Would you buy it?

What other bins are near the gluten-free bins? In our local health food store, the potato starch and tapioca starch is near the salt, sugar and dried beans, but the rice flour is right next to oat bran and near rye flour and spelt. I won't buy anything that's close enough for easy CC.

      Coeliac or not coeliac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to celiac.com, @cc90! Had you been experimenting with a gluten free or reduced gluten diet prior to getting the TTG and the endoscopy/biopsy? If so, it would have skewed the test results, including the endoscopy/biopsy, toward the negative range. Was the TTG-IGA the only blood test run for checking into celiac disease? Did they also do a Immunoglobulin A (IgA) (aka, "total IGA") test to check for IGA deficiency? This should always be run along with the TTG_IGA test. If you are IGA deficient, then the IGA tests such as the TTG will not be reliable.

      I'm really confused.  I've struggled with pain in right side of abdomen, head fog, nausea, acid reflix etc and have attended A&E on several occasions with no cause found (normal ultrasounds and CT). My GP ordered bloods.  TTG was 87.4 so I was referred for endoscopy.  Endoscopy was very traumatic but seemed worth it to have diagnosis confirmed.  Results have returned saying everything looks normal (7 biopsies taken) but they have arranged a repeat endoscopy to look at other areas of the bowel.  I really dont think I can go through the wait and traumatic ordeal again.  Is it likely I'm coeliac or not.  I was expecting confirmation but have been left more confused than ever.

      Do you have any issues when you eat corn? It seems unlikely that two different corn tortilla chips that are marked as gluten-free would contain gluten.  Have you eaten either of these in the past without issues, or is this reaction just on a recent bag?

      When I get gluten sick I get pain in my stomach, exhaustion, migraines/headaches, pain in my gums. The same is happening after I eat those chips. The Gluten Assist enzymes are giving me relief. They were what stopped the vomiting yesterday.

      It certainly is possible that you have other food allergies/sensitivities in addition to gluten. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common ones seem to be dairy, oats, soy, corn and eggs. How do you distinguish gluten-caused sickness from other causes of sickness? For you, does getting "gluten sick" really different than illness caused by other things?
