Anybody out there have any trouble eating Glutino products? I can't seem to find any information about whether everything labeled Glutino is actually made in a wheat-free gluten-free facility or not. I'm ridiculously sensitive, and think a couple of the Glutino products may be bothering me, though some seem fine. It doesn't seem right that I should have a problem with products from a company dedicated to making things gluten-free, though!

Well, I did have a reply but then realized something. I can't remember whether the pretzels I bought a couple weeks back were either Glutino or Glutano. If those were Glutino pretzels, I had no problem with them. Man...anyway, I did buy a box of Glutino's white cake mix. I haven't baked the cake yet, but, it claims on the box "Gluten/Wheat Free, Fat-Free, Cholestrol-free, and Trans Fatty Acids-Free." I can't find any information about whether or not it's processed on the same lines with foods with gluten or a website on the box.

Glutino products use soy--could you be sensitive to that?

I suppose it's possible - heck ANY intolerance is possible - although I eat a lot of foods that contain soy and don't have a problem. Could be another ingredient, too, though. I hate having to spend so much time staring at labels to figure out what several bothersome foods might have in common!

Glutino's bakery in Laval, QC, is a gluten-free facility, but some of the products they sell are made for them elsewhere. A number are imported, for example in my kitchen I just looked and I have Glutino branded products made in Israel, Australia, and Italy, as well as pasta made in Canada which is labelled "prepared for Glutino" (i.e., made by someone else).

I have never had any problems with any of their products.

Nope. Their bagels are the best I've found so far - BIG (normal sized) and almost normal texture.

I haven't. I eat their bagels and pretzels. I was also going to suggest another intolerance. Maybe keep a food diary for a while and see if you can't nail down what it is. I know that soy is another big one for me, as are some bean flours and dairy.

I eat Glutino pretzels and I am extremely sensitive. By the way, they are delicious. I also eat Glutano breakfast bars.
