Grits

I have read on here that we can have grits. I have been using the Quaker instant with no adverse effects. I have been reading though that Quaker is a major source of CC. So, my question is can someone point me in the direction of another brand of grits that may be a bit safer? I found I like grits a lot and its something different for breakfast.

Thanks

I was eating them to until I read on here about cross containmainating, so I called Quaker and they said a lot of there grains come in and they use the same truck so wheat or oats could come in contact with the corn, they cannot say any of there products are gluten free, I was wondering I haven't tried them but wal-mart has the same instant grits and I was thinking of trying them they don't have a 1-800 number though, I would love to find some grits to eat also!

I have been using the arrow head mills with no problems. They are good!

I read on here the other nite that Dixie Lily says there grits are gluten free but I haven't had a chance to call them yet. They have a web site but I haven't checked there yet either.

well, heck, I thought I found something to eat today. I'm sitting here on break eating Quaker instant grits. Other than 1/2 an egg for breakfast, it's all I've had since noon yesterday. I thought maybe I'd found a food that I could eat and not worry about. I live in a small town, no health food stores, not much of a store to speak of at all in fact. If you all find a safe grit or breakfast food let me know. I don't like eggs much and I don't like heavy foods in the morning but I have to eat to take some medicines. The more I read here today, the more I find I've been eating all the wrong brands/foods.

I have also been looking for a replacement for the Quaker grits. I can only find Quaker or the store brand in the store. I did see that Whole Foods carries Arrowhead, so I hope to find those when I go tomorrow. I really like grits and hope that I can find a safe choice.

If you have any Kroger stores near by I called the other day and the ladt confirmed the instant grits were gluten free, she said if there was a rick for CC it would list MAY CONTAIN: on the botttom of the ingridients, and it says may contain soy, so eat up!

My older son who doesn't have celiac disease has been eating these. My younger gluten-free son wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole. They are Dixie Lily "quick grits". My MIL brought them back from Florida. You can't get grits in Canada. Anyway, the ingredients on the box are enriched white corn grits (with niacin, riboflavin, thiamine and iron).

What do you guys put on your grits? Walker puts brown sugar and maple syrup on them.

I eat the ArrowHead Mills grits. not the instant kind, but it only takes five minutes. I can't eat eggs, so breakfasts are limited. I put cheese on my grits, or butter.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
