Purbread NOT gluten free

This company sells primarily in Pennsylvania but does mail order.

 

This company does not label "gluten free" but "gluten neutralized".  In their faq sheet and advertising they claim it is safe for "Severe Celiacs". So far, I have not seen any info as to how they know it is safe.  I see no actual testing to prove it.  

 

Gluten Free Watchdog has tested it and found it to contain gluten well above the <20 ppm that is the FDA guideline for gluten free, and considered safe for Celiacs,  by most major (or all) Celiac centers.

 

this report is public - 

Open Original Shared Link

" The bread tested > 84 ppm gluten using the sandwich R5 ELISA and > 283 ppm gluten using the competitive R5 ELISA. "

 

 

The companies Faq sheet - Open Original Shared Link

"IS IT SAFE FOR THOSE WITH DIGESTION ISSUES?

o Because we DO NOT use preservatives or yeast, along with our two

day neutralizing process, we have over 1500 customers who range

from severe celiac to barely gluten intolerant who have NO PHYSICAL

ISSUES with our bread."

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
