safe Jams & Jellies

Sorry if this is old news, but I was looking for some jams or jelly to put on rice cakes with pb and so far I found a few brands that seem safe, gluten-free.

And Welch's seem safe.  But they have some licorce candies and other products that are not safe.  But apparently all their jams and jellies are fine. Open Original Shared Link

 

Smuckers sound like they don't claim gluten-free even though there is no gluten in their ingredients, so I'm avoiding those for now.  Who needs to risk it when the two above are safe.  

But unfortunately a brand I used to enjoy from time to time that has lots of different flavors is sadly no more for me...I emailed the Trappist Monks facility and this is what their reply was: 

 "Thank you for your query.Products we sell are made with close adherence to strict health and safety regulations. Despite this, cross-contamination in small monastic facilities remains a possibility. Persons with high levels of sensitivity to particular ingredients should avoid ALL foods in our catalog.Best regards,Dan,Customer Service,Monastery Greetings,540 E 105TH ST STE 11,CLEVELAND, OH   44108" 

I'm so happy Bonne Maman is gluten-free though.  They have yummy stuff.

I use Polaner Sugar Free, talked to a company rep, sugar free smuckers has been fine for the past year when I have to get some, lets see there were a few others companies I know but I no longer use them as I can not have sugar -_-

I use Smuckers, Polaner All Fruit and Wegmans store brand.  I do sometimes get an off brand or something from the Imported aisle and don't think I have ever encountered a jam or jelly that had a gluten issue.

Thanks for the replies.  It's nice to hear you've both had Smuckers with good luck.  Maybe I will try it. That must be hard at times, Ennis. having to avoid gluten and also sugar too.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:
