I drive 20 miles to get to a g.e. that has a nature basket section where they do carry some gluten-free stuff. When I went there this week they had a seperate freezer section labeled all gluten-free... before it was mixed in with all other natural frozen foods in the nature basket section.I first thought Wow this will be a great help to new people to be able to look in one place & feel safe . I know I must continue to check labels but for a new person they just might assume that this was done by the store since it clearly states gluten-free only section. To my surprise I find Amy's samoas wraps that contain wheat! I got excited thinking there's another choice... We went directly to the front office & asked to speak to the manager to let him know this will make someone very sick & to remove it from the gluten-free section because it isn't gluten-free. We couldn't get anyone to come to the front desk so the girl there said oh well I guess I'll put it on a piece of paper--- no big deal to her: for others it could be a train wreck for weeks for them. I hope when I go back in a few weeks it is removed but in the meantime I pray no one buys & eats these thinking they are okay.

Carelessness is what gets all of us at one time or another....

thanks for reading my rant..

Yikes, not even hidden gluten, but wheat right on the label? That's pretty irresponsible of the store manager. Good thing you caught it & spoke up.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
