I can't find a lot of information about it. Is it safe? The only store near by is Aldi's. I was going to go there today and get some stuff. I would just like some input on if it's a trustworthy brand. I'm still going to read all the labels before I get anything anyways.

I haven’t had it but wouldn’t hesitate to eat it.  I know quite a few local Celiacs that get it

Um depends, they had a few issues with them over the years. I think it might be safe now but at one point they had malt from barley in some of their products and a few issues with contamination. I have not heard of anything this year though.

Some of their gluten-free Certified products use to have the voluntary statement "May contain Wheat"! That was a while ago though. I would use caution and read the labels.

Here is a response for why they pulled their cheesecake:

thanks so much for reaching out! At ALDI, we have an unwavering commitment to quality. As part of that commitment, we work closely with our suppliers to ensure that all ALDI exclusive brands meet or exceed the standards and quality of the national name brands, including our liveGfree line of products. All of our liveGfree products are certified by an approved organization that verifies the product’s levels of gluten are less than 10 parts per million. These organizations include the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP) and Celiac Sprue Association (CSA). This particular product was certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization and while the amount of gluten in our liveGfree cheesecake was well below their requirements and FDA limits, it was made at a plant that also makes regular cheesecake. This is why we added the "may contain traces of wheat" statement on the packaging. However, we understand the confusion regarding this claim and have removed the product from our stores. Thanks again for contacting us,

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      By Peace lily · Posted

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.
