Prosciutto Brands For Super Sensitive?

Hi everyone! 

 

Does anyone know any brands (preferably readily available) to which they do not react? I am unfortunately very, very sensitive to trace amounts of gluten and its derivatives, including distilled liquors and "gluten removed" products.

 

Does anyone know of a certified gluten free brand?

My spouse does well with Boar's Head and Salumi. He is gluten and casein free.

 

He handled those sorts of products (aged, fermented meats) even better after he recognized and addressed a histamine intolerance.  Alison Vickery's website was helpful.

 

Apparently the DAO enzyme is produced on the tips of the villi.Celiac and other inflammatory conditions can cause you to be low in DOA.

Alcohol also causes the DAO to work less efficiently. (I don't understand why this is.)  So red wine, aged cheese (sheep milk cheese for him) and aged meats were an issue for awhile.  Now, he adds anti-histaminic elements to meals, or uses a Histame (a DAO supplement - be careful, not all are gluten free) or takes niacin and vitamin C if he overdoes it on histamine foods.  

 

I am not saying that trace gluten isn't a problem; I am saying that a histamine intolerance may be aggravating a trace gluten issue.  It took a long time, but he can now distinguish his histamine reactions from a gluten reaction.

 

Good luck sorting this out.  In general, most people with histamine intolerance feel better if they take an antihistamine. Vitamin C or Zyrtec.  That may be a way to approach ruling this out for you.   The Vickery website is definitely worth a look.

Boar's Head is very committed to gluten-free/CF but I am not sure about certification.  I do know that now all salamis, etc are casein free; they sometimes have milk products on the outside (I am thinking of artisanal charcuterie products.)

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
