Fully Cooked Bacon?

I have two boxes of Oscar Mayer Fully Cooked Bacon (Original flavor) in my fridge that I bought before hearing I might have gluten issues.  I have been reading that most bacon is gluten-free.  This one being the pre-cooked kind, I didn't know if it was safe.  Does anyone here use it and have good luck with it?  There are a few ingredients I am not sure about.  On the package it says, " Cured with water, salt, sugar, sodium phosphates, sodium ascorbate, sodium nitrite."

I use it sometimes.  I don't see any gluten in the ingredients

Thank you.  I wasn't sure if gluten hid in some of those weird phosphate and ascorbate ingredients.

In the US and many other countries, wheat must be labelled.  chemicals would not be gluten.

      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.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      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.
