Anyone ever had a problem with Tropicana pure premium  OJ with calcium and VD3. I ate some chicken that want marinade In it. The product line was 48 and no ingredients that are questionable. When I contacted Tropicana they said that the product is inherently gluten free however they do not test there products. I dont know how to take that and I am worried because we are on vacation

It is gluten free.  

The company can not say the juice is gluten free because they did not test it to see if it is under 20 ppm.  Gluten has never been added to orange juice in my experience.  

Enjoy your vacation!

I have never seen gluten in OJ.  Some companies lawyers have told them, that unless they test a product, they cannot print gluten-free on the package.  I have seen companies that will put gluten-free on something like OJ and not test it.  They don’t legally have to test it if it has no gluten ingredients or reasonable chance of accidental gluten.  

Why not test it?  Well, testing costs money.  They would have to the raise the price or take it out of profits.  Most people - probably at least 90%- don’t care if OJ is gluten-free or not.  So they won’t pay extra for that extra testing.

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      Thank you for your reply Knitty Kitty (from a fellow knitter) My TSH and T4 is within normal range, and has been checked along with the rest of my bloodwork consistently over the past many years. I am very aware of Hashimoto's since my mom has it  (she does not have celiac disease, her other autoimmune disease is diabetes (which I am monitored for but don't have - I "only" have allergies).  And yes - I eat iodized salt to protect my thyroid. Good suggestions though and thank you for the links.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/

      @Mettedkny, Have you had your thyroid checked lately?  People with thyroid problems like Hashimoto's thyroiditis produce tTg IgG antibodies whether exposed to gluten or not.  Hashimoto's is another autoimmune disease frequently found with Celiac disease.  Do you eat iodized salt or sea salt?   P. S.  Progesterone stimulates the thyroid.  The thyroid stimulates the immune system which increases production of IgG antibodies.   Progesterone Upregulates Gene Expression in Normal Human Thyroid Follicular Cells https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4454767/ Celiac Disease and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease: The Two Peas in a Pod https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9312543/

      Then it sounds like the thing you really need to focus more on is being more consistent with the gluten-free diet. Another suggestion I would make is to avoid using a lot of pre-made gluten-free food. Gluten-free facsimile flours are not enriched like their wheat counterpart and are full of empty calories. Focus on naturally gluten free foods that are nutrient and calorie dense. Have you had your vitamin D3 levels checked?
