Jin Dandy Grits Now List Wheat On Label

Since I can no longer have my Quaker quick (or any other type) grits, I'm searching all over for something safe. Dixie Lily certifies their grits are gluten free but I haven't been able to find them yet...not in either of my Publix stores. Anyway, I had seen somewhere on a message board that people had eaten Jim Dandy with no reaction but when I read the bag, the new label says' may contain wheat' :o in bold font. So just in case you happen to have these (meaning you live in the south - ha ha!) Jim Dandy grits are not safe on gluten free diet now. Gosh - this is a pain sometimes!

If you are in the South, you should be able to get Dixie Lily grits and corn meal. They do not process oats or wheat so according to them, they should not be cross comtaminated with gluten.

I finally found McCann's steel cut oats which are certified to be gluten free. Has anyone tried them and if so, did you feel okay after eating? They now offer travel packs which I'd like to travel with but only if I find others who actually eat them. Anyone?

I have been eating Quaker, but not the quick grits, I think they are called "old fashioned grits". I did look and seems I did buy the quick grits this past time. Why can't you eat the Quaker? Did they change something that I missed? LOL! The label looked okay.

I bought some Kroger brand "Old Fashioned Grits" yesterday. They did not have wheat or any other gluten containing item on the label.

Quaker told me flat our they have cc issues regarding gluten and they may be safe but for me, I'm not taking chances. Quaker said not only should I not eat their oat products, but their corn meal, cornbread mix or any of their grits. So I am following their advice. I assume they will eventually catch up with Jim Dandy on labeling and put the disclaimer that their products may contain wheat since they put wheat in their cormbread mixes, do not clean lines between processing grits. I was bloated after eating the grits once I'd been on the diet about two weeks...could not for the life of me figure out what made me sick but the only thing it could have been was the Quaker quick grits.

Great. <_< I have a 5 lb bag of Jim Dandy in the Pantry. I'll look for Dixie Lilly. thanks so much for the info. I've been wondering about all of that. What about Martha White? Anyone checked with them?

When I cleaned out my pantry after dx, my particular Martha White cornbread mix had wheat listed very clearly on the label. I had three different corn bread mixes (including Jiffy brand) all which listed wheat...what is wrong with these manufacturers....why must they add wheat to every freakin' thing?!

With regards to Jim Dandy, even though the package says it may contain wheat, their rep. on the phone said they do not test for gluten so I think that's a CYA statement on the bag. So I'm not saying don't eat Jim Dandy...was just shocked to see the label change regarding the possibility of wheat.

Thanks for the info on Quaker. I will be looking for some new grits next time I go to the store.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
