Is Simply Organic Gluten Free Made In A Dedicated Facility?

Hi All, 

 

I keep getting gluted from something and I'm trying to find the culprit. I was wondering if anyone has had reactions to Simply Organic baking mixes? like the brownies or cake mixes? 

 

Thank you!

I just looked at their web site and their gluten-free products are certified. That means they test them. But I did not see any baking mixes. It was all spices and dressings and salsa and gravy mixes, that kind of thing. What kind of baking mixes do you have?

Barty,  I saw all the same things as you and no baking mixes.  I wonder what she's eating :ph34r:

I think the people to answer the questions about how they are made would be the company?  There are things in gluten-free baking that are not always in gluten baking - like gums.  These gum can be a problem for people to digest (not a gluten issue).

 

It looks like they may have discontinued the baking mixes.  Maybe just some left on store shelves?

Thank you for the replies!

 

These baking mixes were probably discontinued I got them at grocery outlet. The company told me they do test for gluten but they're not made in a gluten free facility. 

 

The ingredients of the cocoa brownie mix are: Cane sugar, brown rice flour, cocoa powder (processed with alkali), potato starch, natural flavor (maltodextrin, cocoa butter), xanthan gum, sea salt, baking soda. 

 

I always thought maltodextrin had gluten in it? How can it say gluten free if it has maltodextrin? 

 

That's really interesting that some people react to gums, I'll have to do more research on that. I think for now i'm going to stick to non-packaged foods, seems too risky. 

 

Thank you,

Maltodextrin might be a bit confusing with the " malt" part. But it doesn't have gluten.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
