I bought some yesterday and didn't read the label until I got home. No where on the label does it say gluten-free but there are no ingredients that contain any. Is it safe?

I would call the store and ask. I had a list they gave me with all the gluten free foods they sell but I was not impressed with the selection so I threw it out.  I think if products are processed in a facility that processes gluten they can't put gluten free. You also might be able to google it.

It's repackaged Sunbutter and is gluten free.   We use it all the time.  The brand name does label it as gluten-free I believe (I can double check if you want as I have both in my basement).  They only thing that there is a CC warning for is soy.

 

Jessica77- that isn't true about the labeling.  They can indeed put gluten-free on the label as long as they can back it up if they are called out on it (the law doesn't have a lot of accountability in it).

      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.
