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.

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.

      TTG IgA reference range 0.0 to 14.9 KU/L

      What was the reference range for that test? Each lab uses different reference ranges so a raw score like that makes it difficult to comment on. But it looks like a rather large number.
