To my knowledge, most grits are gluten free, just watch out what you put on them. I use buttter(real) and salt and pepper and a grade my own Kraft cheddar cheese.

Look, sometimes on the ingredience of real better, then check the same for margerine. :blink::blink:

I guess the question is what's the risk factor of cross contamination with Quaker brand Grits? Is there a brand of grits which is made by a company who specializes in gluten-free grains?

well, I've also gotten Arrowhead Mills White Corn Grits before and they were just fine...

I honestly have never had any problem with Quaker Grits... I called the company to make sure they were safe and I was assured that they were. They told me they are made in a completely separate facility than the oatmeal products.

I agree....I too have never had a problem w/ Quaker grits...in fact I live off the instant ones b/c they are easy to pack when traveling, going to work, etc.

I also eat Quaker Quick Grits every morning, and I don't seem to be having trouble with them.

i had heard that Quaker wouldn't guarantee anything, but i didn't check it out with regard to grits. good to know they are ok.

what is the difference with stone ground? i'm curious. :)

Because of the processes used in plants handling multiple grains, you are always better off to choose a mfr who has a corn only facility. Dixie Lily is available in the south. Try Kroger if your local grocer does not carry it.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
