Underwood Deviled Ham spread

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone here eats Underwood Devil Ham?  I saw some articles online that make it sound like it's gluten-free, but I emailed the company and this is what they said:

"Thank you for taking the time to contact us at Underwood. We always appreciate hearing from our consumers who reach out to us with their comments and questions.We have not analyzed our Underwood products for gluten content and it is possible the ingredients in these products may have come into contact with gluten-containing products prior to manufacturing. Moreover, the product may be manufactured on the same lines as products that contain gluten."

So they don't claim to be gluten-free, but some people online seem to use it.  I was curious if anyone here ever eats it with success?  There is a dip we sometimes make at holidays using the deviled ham, so I was wondering if I dare try it or not.

Omg I used to love that stuff. What's the dip it goes into?? I may have had it in the last 10 years but not sure. Hopefully someone here will have had it!

I will go dig out the recipe later and post it. I only have a few minutes online and then I'm heading to a dr's appt.  The dip has cream cheese, red and green peppers chopped up, stuff like that.  My family loves it.  My issue is about whether the deviled ham is gluten-free, and also finding gluten-free crackers.  Some gluten-free products like that bother me with corn or brown rice flour or other ingredients.  My stomach pain has gone away since no longer eating gluten, but I get bad bloat a lot still.  I was going to try the Blue Diamond crackers, but haven't checked their ingredients  yet.  I'm trying to figure out some holiday munchies with no gluten. It sounds like the ingredients in the deviled ham might not have gluten, but they might not be guarenteeing it as gluten-free, maybe possible cross contamination in factories?  I'd love to hear if anyone here eats it and is okay.  If you look up online if it's gluten free, some articles pop up by people saying they eat it.  I just would love personal feedback if possible.  I am not sure if I dare try it.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.
