I got some cookies at the Health Food store...Mi-Del brand, ginger snaps, with HUGE letters on the front blaring out GLUTEN FREE!! WHEAT FREE! Then way at the bottom in the allergy warning area it said "Made in a plant that also processes wheat products."

So what does that mean? Do any of you eat these when they have that warning? It didn't have the "shared equpment" statement, just about being made in the same plant.

It has a chance for cross-contamination...

It depends on your sensitivity..

Some people can handle them, some cannot. I appreciate that they do that...

Alot of specialty brands have gluten free foods processed in the same facilities as wheat but have machines cleaned in between. Not many brands you will find are dedicated to 100% gluten free facilities.

I am sensitive and I eat products that are gluten free but processed in facilities that also process wheat and have not had a problem with many, if any, of them.

I cant seem to eat any of the brands that are processed in a facility w/ wheat. It pretty much sucks...I've tried quite a few brands. I like Enjoy Life products and they havent bothered me. I just dont buy stuff that has that warning anymore. Maybe when I'm 100% I'll be less sensitive. I dunnno but thats what I'm hoping.

I tend to get sick whenever I try a product with the "made in the same facility" warning. This has happened with a variety of items, not just one company. I stay away from them.

I also don't seem to tolerate many products that are produced near wheat/gluten or on the same lines as gluten. For example, I react to gluten free Humpty Dumpty chips that are produced on the same line as gluten chips. There have been two products that blatantly listed gluten free on the label that I have reacted to.

I am also sensitive to cross-contamination. It does suck. Has anyone here ever had a problem with Glutino (sp?) products. I've been meaning to look them up online, but haven't had a chance. I am not sure if they are processed in a gluten-free facility or not, but they seem to make a lot of gluten-free products.

I have never had a problem with either Glutino or Glutano products. I eat the Glutino breakfast bars quite often.

I do not usually have a problem with "manufactured in the same plant" items, but I'm choosy about which ones I'll do. Dried fruit, no. Salsa, yes. (It has to do with how likely I think it is that 1) cleaning can be thoroughly done (easier for wet than dry), and 2) how much is likely to be picked up by the foods (more for stickier things).) But it is a risk.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
