    Hello,

     

    Looking at the packaging for Corn Nuts, these are not labeled Gluten Free. Where are you getting the information that they are labeled?

    Ten Top Brands of Gluten-Free Potato Chips
    Celiac.com 06/25/2019 - Just in time for summer, here are ten of America's top gluten-free potato chip brands. True, potatoes are naturally gluten-free, and so are potato chips, unless they've got added gluten ingredients. However, many brands do not label their chips as gluten-free, and many of these chips may be made on shared equipment. That's not necessarily a big deal, but some people like to play it safe. These brands go the extra mile to make sure their chips are labeled "Gluten-Free," which means that you can breath extra easy about serving them to people with celiac disease.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top. Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects. Best of luck. There is other material, yet, very expensive.
