Glutino Crackers

After having reactions after eating different products that claim to be gluten free, I've now started calling just about any 'manufactured' food I buy. (At first I thought any grain product was causing me to react... now I'm hoping it's just cross-contamination).

 

Just called Glutino about their crackers. Their crackers are made on lines that use gluten products, so there is a risk of cross-contamination. Supposedly under 10 parts per.... (still don't have the lingo down).

 

Apparently their breakfast bars and english muffins are okay though!

I don't think that they make any gluten products.

That's a dedicated facility.

Not according to the woman I spoke to at the Glutino plant.  She stated that it was not a dedicated facility but the lines were cleaned.  Call them.  1 201 421 3970.

 

She stated the crackers were not on dedicated lines, but breakfast bars and english muffins were made in another facility which was fully gluten free.

 

To tell you the truth, with a name like "Glutino," I was shocked to hear the crackers weren't on dedicated lines.

I just looked at their website.

 

every product carries a gluten-free label..

 

By dedicated lines, did she mean "nuts or seeds or some other allergen?"

 

What products are NOT  g F??

I looked on Glutinos website and could find no information about dedicated anything...just a short statement that they do their best to prevent contamination... I wrote them to ask.  Will post my reply when I get it.

Please do. 

 

I asked a fellow celiac (who is also Canadian) what he knows about the Glutino company and he replied:

 

 

Some Glutino product production is outsourced, but it is my understanding that all are produced in dedicated gluten-free facilities. IIRC, the pretzels are made in Israel.

 

The bakery in Laval (N of Montreal) is a dedicated gluten-free facility.

Here's the reply I got from Glutino when I asked about whether their crackers were made on a dedicated line.

If I understand correctly, their crackers are not included as something that is made on a dedicated line. (Unlike many of their other products...this fits with what the woman on the phone told me as well). 

 

I don't know how I feel about it, as I've been accidentally glutened by products that are made on non-dedicated lines.... But perhaps they are safer about it than other places.

That's about as good as it gets for those of us who require a gluten free diet.

So does their final product test down to 5 PPM or less or 10 PPM or less?

I just got the same reply in my email.  Sounds a bit like they are skirting around the direct question I asked.  I'm not a big fan of their products anyways, so it goes into the knowledge file in my head.

Kind of wierd. I got the same reply. I then asked about the crackers and explained they weren't mentioned. I am thinking its just a mistake. but we will see. I really like the bagel chips and have no problem with them. One of my kids & I like the plain round ones with PB.

Yes, yes they are.  I can't buy them anymore because I lose control and eat the whole thing!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.
