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

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!

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
