Asda Packed Almonds

Hello, this will be my first, but definitely not my last thread I'll make here, since I tend to have a lot of questions that for some reason I always put off on asking.

 

Anyway I'm having trouble putting on weight despite being gluten free (well, I keep getting myself gluten'd every now and then for some reason or another) for about 2 years now, after having celiac and eating gluten for about 7 years before it finally got diagnosed.

So to try put on weight, I've opted to buy some high calorie food. One of which is Almonds. Now I know nuts are gluten free, that's not what is worrying me. What is worrying me is if the "Asda - Chosen for you" packed nuts are packed in a safe environment. I've bought the Whole Blanched Almonds and would just like to know if I'm safe to eat them. I try to avoid getting the asda packed stuff due to this uncertainty , but they didn't have any alternatives.

 

If it turns out that these are packed in an area with gluten, could anybody recommend me as to where I could buy Almonds that have no/minimal risk of gluten contamination?

I am assuming you are in UK? Do you have a Cotco nearby? I have lately found that they have started to sell gluten free almond flour- it is reasonably priced and has a great texture and taste.

I am from the UK, yes. There's a Costco semi-near to where I live, but it's still not close enough to be as convenient as I'd like. It's about a 20-30 minute drive away.

I appreciate you letting me know about the gluten free Almond flour though, I'll need to stock up on some of that since it looks like it contains a lot of calories, which is exactly what I'm looking for. The thing is though, I'd also like to be able to buy a simple bag of Almonds to pick at too. I've got the bag of Almonds I purchased from Asda with me still, but I'm not going to touch them unless I get confirmation that they're relatively safe from cross contamination.

 

Alternatively, if it turns out that they're not safe, a brand or place that sells them without any risk of gluten being in them would be nice to hear about.

You might look at Nuts.com.

Also Holland&Barret have a great selection - I usually stick with plain versions of nuts and stay clear of fancy nut presentations like dry freezes or roasted with chilly, etc- our Costco is also about 30 minutes away I go once a month or so an buy a lot of stuff ( I have a big family and it is worth it for me) they have only recently started to stock gluten free products- the were recently also promoting gluten free coconut flour -you can also buy things online and have them sent home... They should probably pay me for promoting them, hahaha

nuts.com is da bomb :)  i ordered them initially because they are certified gluten-free, but when they arrived, they were the prettiest nuts - not all broken and crumbly like the ones you get pre-packaged from the store.  i order a few times a year and always timely delivery :)

Not sure they have nuts.com in the UK? Usually, the best way to know about manufacturing procedures it to email or call the company. Maybe try that?

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
