Suggestions For Dedicated Facility Olive Oil Brands?

One more....

I think I have been contaminated by the last 2 organic olive oil brands. Someone who is also sensitive on here mentioned Bariani brand, and that they did okay. I just ordered it from their website, and it was about $22 plus another $10 in shipping for one bottle. I don't prefer to keep spending that much money on oil, as I use too much of it. Does anyone have any other brands that are made in dedicated facilities to recommend? I do shop at Whole Foods and Kroger. I also have a Trader Joe's in the city. Thanks:)

Just curious ....what do these oil factories produce that would have gluten? Are there factories in Italy that get large amounts of wheat and try to process wheat germ oil? Most factories only have one kind of machinery. They might process other oils but they certainly don't bake things or make noodles on those machines.

I use Bertolli Light olive oil. I get it in 3 L containers from BJ's for around $13-$16.

I was using Spectrum Organics and I don't know where they are made. However, they process wheat germ oil on the same equipment. That information I just emailed a company about Villa Flor organic olive oilthat I have been using for a few weeks, and all they responded with was "There could be cross-contamination". So I don't know on that one. This oil came from Argentina. The Bariani oil that I just ordered said that they are only dedicated to olives and that there is no chance of cross contamination. The email came back from a "Bariani" family member.

Have you checked with the company at all about the equipment and cross-contamination? You are super sensitive like me, aren't you?

I have not checked with them but I have not had any problems (I really only contact companies if I suspect a problem). I'm pretty sure just from looking at their website that Olive oil is the only oil Bertolli makes. They also make some pasta meals but those products would not be made on the same equipment (and maybe not even in the same factory). I consider myself very sensitive, but not as sensitive as some on this board. I don't usually have trouble with things processed in the same factory (different rooms/equpiment) but I have to avoid anything made on the same equipment. I have read about others having trouble with Spectrum Naturals Olive oil because they make wheat germ oil on the same lines. So I don't think you are wrong to suspect the oliv eoil if that is what you were using.

I usually get Bertolli. Ones made in Italy. They only make olive oils, not other oils.

Thanks. I guess that I'll go buy Bertolli. I wish that I hadn't already spent so much money on the other, but...oh well:)

Thanks for posting this. Sometimes I get a reaction but don't know where from. I would never have dreamed olive oil would be cross contaminated but now I know better and will check out the products I buy.

Just so you all know. I did call Bertolli just now. They told me that it was safe with no chance of cross-contamination. Good news. I had just wanted to double check to make sure.

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      By aperlo34 · Posted

      @cristiana Yes - just to add to this: my ferritin went down after my first 2 infusions (which were 8 months ago), so I got more infusions a couple of weeks ago. From those alone, I'm feeling better. It's a work in progress! Be patient! I was also taking iron supplements the entire time.

      By cristiana · Posted

      @OlafAndvarafors  I just wanted to reassure you that I had these same issues for a while before and after diagnosis but they did settle.  I think the deficiencies and anxiety that are very common in undiagnosed/newly diagnosed coeliacs are a perfect mix for twitching!  I cannot say exactly how long you will experience this but my feeling that once you are properly diagnosed and it is found to be that gluten is an issue, get your vitamin/mineral levels assessed and if they are low/low normal, don't hesitate to supplement until the levels normalise.   I was Iron anaemic, and low normal with B12.   Once my levels of iron were normal, and B12 nearer 500, my symptoms reduced greatly, and I found magnesium helped A LOT with twitching face muscles in particular.  However - word of caution with iron: if you do need to supplement, have regular blood tests to check levels as too much iron can be dangerous.

      a deficiency in thiamine (vitamin B1) can contribute to muscle twitching, especially in more severe cases of thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is crucial for nerve function and energy production, and its deficiency can disrupt muscle contraction and nerve signals.  Lots of Thiamine a day, several hundred mg, to reverse thiamine deficiency.  The usual dose for adults is between 25mg and 100mg, taken once a day. Severe thiamine deficiency The usual dose for adults is 100mg, taken 2 or 3 times a day.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Ccoast Celiac · Posted

      Hi @Mettedkny I’ve had the same problem with Xiromed Progesterone 100 Caps. I’m very careful about gluten and only have had gluten “gut issues” since starting these. I previously had another brand, and no problems. So, even if Xiromed says “gluten free” perhaps in the manufacturing process there is gluten cross-contamination. I’m already requesting a different manufacturer to see if there is improvement.

      To kiss or not to kiss: Can gluten pass through a smooch?

      I thought I'd share this article about recent findings that not enough gluten is transmitted during kissing to be concerned about: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1082120  What do you think?
