Earthly Choice Pasta

I bought a bag of Earthly Choice gluten free quinoa pasta blend at Costcos.  It's marked as gluten free, but without being certified.  There's nothing unusual listed in the ingredients - looks okay - just wandering if anyone else has tried it.  Their website doesn't help much.

I bought these from my local Walmart and although the front of the package dose state gluten free and they go on this rant in the back "we really do search the globe for the best tasting healthy food for you and your family,  we traveled to Italy to find you the very best multi grain gluten free pasta,  if you or your family are gluten intolerant,  our pasta is a terrific option for your family " I   skipped a few lines but these are to me the most important and yes the ingredients don't list any wheat product.  However since reading every last word on a package label can be extremely daunting while grocery shopping especially if you have children and they go shopping with you,  my experience here after 3 hours at the grocery store and reading so many labels and kids are we done yet I wanna go I saw these noodles and yes I fairly quickly checked the label the gluten free badge in the front quickly scanned the ingredients and read there statement of champion noodles perfect for gluten intolerance.  I went home made some started eating there good I could fool people with these I started thinking did I grab the wrong pack so to take a better look at the package just in case there to good to be gluten free right so I read it all again then I noticed PROCESSED IN A FACILITY THAT USES WHEAT AND EGGS.    Wtf!   Seriously wtf!   With these gluten free perfect for gluten  intolerant people and there family's which implies there children as well then to read in a facility that processes wheat.  More then likely the reason it's not certified and basically is possibly subject to cross contamination on a unreliable basis,  basically it can't be trusted if your sensitive.   I am extremely highly disgusted with the lengths company's will go to try to promote a product to up sales even at the cost of someone's health,  to me the Labeling isn't so clear,  it shouldn't contain ranting and promoting of how it's good for a certain condition when it's actually introduced to contamination.  So idk take your chances if you like I'm ranting now just sick of wasting money, and misleading labels

There are a lot of people on this forum that eat foods made in shared facilities - but not on shared equipment - with no ill effects.  That's why I was wondering.  I'll email the company and ask about shared equipment.  They are very good!

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.
