I think @trents may be correct here, and you've caught celiac disease in its early stages. A gluten-free diet might be the safest approach. -

Welcome to the forum, @Garlic! This kind of question is always a gray area and the answer must be nuanced. Ideally, every celiac should stay away from any potential source of gluten, however small. But we don't live in an ideal world and sometimes it is appropriate to take risks as long as the risks aren't too large and the consequences not too drastic. Realize...- costco

Welcome to the forum, @Garlic! This kind of question is always a gray area and the answer must be nuanced. Ideally, every celiac should stay away from any potential source of gluten, however small. But we don't live in an ideal world and sometimes it is appropriate to take risks as long as the risks aren't too large and the consequences not too drastic. Realize these companies work hard at covering their butts against possible litigation so they often err on the side of abundant caution to guard against this. And Costco is a very conscientious organization as well. In reality, cross contamination from shared equipment is usually not a significant threat except to those celiacs on the ultra sensitive end of the spectrum. Do you fit that category? Note, we are talking about cross contamination from using shared equipment, not other sources of CC such as happens in cultivation, transportation and storage. I mention that because some types of products are typically heavily cross contaminated in these other ways. A prime example is dried legumes.

I recently noticed a “warning” on the back of Kirkland Quinoa packages sold in my area. It says in part: “Allergen Information: Processed on equipment that also packages products that may contain. . . wheat, . . . .” I have been buying my quinoa at Costco for years and I believe it used to have gluten free on the label. I don’t know when this warning first appeared. I’m concerned that I might be getting gluten through this source. Any thoughts, experiences? Do you think a thorough rinsing of the quinoa before cooking would help? Thank you in advance for any advice.

Where can I find a gastro in adelaide who can diagnose refractory celiac disease have seen 3 so far and don't understand the most obvious question, why my celiac symptoms did not resolve on a gluten free diet the symptoms just got worse as it is attacking my nervous system. -
I recently traveled to Spain and Portugal. I was with a tour group, they knew I needed to be gluten-free and made sure the kitchens preparing the group meals were aware. But just in case, I took Gliadin-X with me and took it for every evening meal - and most other meals. The one time I got glutened was from lunch early in the trip - had to be from cross-contamination. I had not taken Gliadin-X before that meal, which made for a pretty miserable day. Learned my lesson... 😞
