Although many people with celiac disease do avoid products that are made in the same facility, there are also many who do consume them. If the item has "gluten-free" on the label it is likely that they take precautions to avoid cross-contamination with wheat, and it is gluten-free, but you would need to contact the manufacturer directly to see what steps they take to avoid contamination.

      UK Visitors: Award Winning Flapjackery in the West Country (and Chichester, West Sussex)

      By cristiana · Posted

      Flapjack is as British as Fish & Chips!  Oats, butter, sugar, golden syrup... yum.  I have just returned from Fowey in Cornwall having discovered they have a branch of this amazing, award winning flapjack shop in the town.  I would thoroughly recommend that all coeliacs visiting Cornwall and Devon, who can tolerate pure oats, to drop in and buy one buy one (or several).  The oats used in Flapjackery's recipes are certified gluten free.  How wonderful for us coeliacs to be able to go into a shop and buy absolutely EVERYTHING on sale!  They come in so many interesting flavours including blackberry, cream tea, clotted cream, millionaires, salted caramel, tropical fruit, Eton Mess...  Also available by post. https://www.flapjackery.co.uk/

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm sure you can find other gluten-free versions here. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
