    Has Barilla Pasta Been Ripping Off Customers?
    Celiac.com 10/06/2016 - If you've bought pasta in a box, or if you've even strolled your boxed pasta aisle at the supermarket, you've likely come across Barilla, and their famous blue box. Well, it turns out that the world's largest pasta-maker might have been ripping off customers by routinely under filling their boxes. In fact, Barilla is being sued for 'substantially' under-filling boxes and, as a result, cheating customers out of as much as a quarter of their noodles.
    Plaintiffs Alessandro Berni, Domenico Salvata, Mossimo Simioli, and Giuseppe Santochirico, have filed a class-action lawsuit alleging that Barilla deceptively packages certain pastas in order to deceive consumers. They claim extra-protein, whole-grain, and gluten-free pastas are placed in the standard-size boxes used...

    Is Ragu Gluten-Free?
    Celiac.com 10/06/2021 - We get a lot of questions about which products and brands are gluten-free. We especially get a lot of questions about pasta sauces. In this case, Ragú pasta sauces. Ragú is a popular brand of pasta sauce that comes in several versions.
    Is Ragú gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The short answer is partly yes, but it's important to check labels.
    Ragú does not label its pasta sauces gluten-free, but the company does list any known allergens, including gluten, on their labels. Numerous varieties of Ragú are made without gluten. We've gotten no reports of issues with Ragú that is made from non-gluten ingredients from our celiac community. 
    But, buyers must be careful. Some varieties do contain gluten ingredients. For example, Ragú ...

    Top Brands of Gluten-Free Tomato Paste
    Celiac.com 02/22/2022 - We get more than a few questions from our readers about which items, brands and products are gluten-free. 
    We get more than a few questions about tomato paste. Specifically, is tomato paste gluten-free, and safe for people with celiac disease? The answer is that most all tomato paste is naturally gluten-free. 
    Unless gluten ingredients are added in the manufacturing process, as with Contadina Italian Tomato Paste with Italian Seasonings, which does not list gluten as an allergen, but which the company says is NOT gluten-free. This may be due to trace wheat flour in its seasoning ingredients. 
    Some brands, like Cento, Red Gold, Muir Glen, and others specifically label their tomato paste as gluten-free. That means it has been tested to under 20...

      @Joe R Thanks for clarifying! That's what I've heard, too, about Italy, but I've never been, sad face. Almost no one on these boards would recommend the approach of your GI doc, and would instead stick with yours. (Maybe if a "glutening" causes so many discomforts and inconveniences that it just overwhelms your life, and you have nothing else to do....

      Immunologist Referral if IgA Deficient

      I am 58 years old and was diagnosed two years ago with Celiac Disease based on an EGD showing lymphocytic infiltrates and blunted villi in my duodenum. Lab work shows a severe IgA deficiency. Is it worthwhile to consult with an immunologist regarding the IgA deficiency? I don’t seem to have any chronic sinus issues or infections but feel like I should g...

      That was the suggestion from my GI doc but I never book the medicine and maintained a strict gluten free diet. Actually, Italy is much more sensitive to gluten free diets than the US, I found.

      @Joe R are you saying that while traveling in Italy as a person with Celiac disease, you are eating gluten-containing foods and taking prednisone to dampen down the flares? Plumbago
