Hello

I was hoping someone might be able to recommend a gluten-free sausage. Like the Italian kind used to make sausage and peppers. My daughter rarely eats meat and the Italian sausage was one of the few she enjoyed before celiac disease diagnosis. Thanks so much for any ideas. Nancy

Thanks Jessica

I was actually looking for more of an italian style dinner sausage as opposed to a BF sausage.

I could have sworn they also had sausage in other forms. Maybe I am wrong. I'm not much of a uckey sausage eater anyways! ha

Just from reading the ingredients, it seems that Aidells (sp?) is gluten-free. They make good chicken sausages. Also, you could ask your grocer's butcher if their italian sausages are gluten-free.

Hmm...I thought I had posted a reply here, but I guess I must have hit the wrong button! Anyway, Wellshire farms makes several varieties of gluten-free sausage. I'm not sure whether Italian is one of them, but it's worth checking out. They even make some turkey sausages, and their uncured turkey bacon is delicious!

Not all Aidell's are gluten-free. Be careful of the ones with soy sauce in them.

Check to see if Hormel makes an italian sausage. Their pepperoni clearly states that it is gluten free, which stands to reason that they might make other products which are also.

Go to www.jennieoturkeystore.com and/or www.hormel.com for list of gluten-free products. Many food companies are listing gluten-free products on line. When shopping, if there is a toll free number listed, use your cell phone (or some stores will check while you are there). Celiac is getting to be a familiar word in the food business, and many companies are very helpful. We like Butterball Summer and Kielbasa Sausage. Good luck! :)

I just discovered that Shady Brook Farms makes Italian sausage in both sweet and hot varieties; their website claims they are both gluten-free! Happy hunting!

Hormel told me that most of their products are gluten free and if not it will say on the product that it has wheat in it . I would trust Hormel

Can you get Dominic's mild Italian sausage where you are? It's gluten-free and delicious!

I just recevied an answer to my inquiry at Prairie Pride Farms. They were very helpfull and I received the answer in two separate emails while they made absolutely sure about the ingredients. They told me that all their products are gluten-free. I am not sure if this includes their BBQ sauce too, since I inquired about the meat products. They have Italian Link style sausage among others. I just placed my order so can't really tell you personally how good they are except that they've won a bunch of awards at the minnessota fairs. They have a website and do internet orders too. Its prairiepridepork.com

Second response:

Hi Will, I did a check on all of our products and found that all of our

products are "gluten free". So order away! Thanks for asking. Dawn Hubmer

Be careful with Aidells. Only some of their sausages are gluten-free. They will say gluten-free right on the package, If it doesn't. don't buy it. Shadybrook Farms hot Italian sausage is great! So is Jimmy Dean's sage sausage for stuffings. Healthy Choice sausage links are good too if you can find them!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.
