Hello! I thought that I would introduce myself, I am a 35 year old woman, diagnosed with Celiac for 16 months, living in the Victoria area. I belong to our local chapter of the Celiac Association, but am always looking for more information and to meet others with Celiac.

I am the mom of two girls, a 6 year old who recently tested negative for the gene - as well as a 19 month old who so far exhibits no symptoms.

Looking forward to posting and meeting others!!! :P

Welcome:

There are lots of great people here.

We are all very excited here today as Heidi Collins of CNN did a wonderful piece on Celiac Disease. There is a post on it today.

Welcome!

Victoria, BC? The association there was very helpful to me when I emailed about where to eat/shop on Vancouver Island. We had a trip there in August.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      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.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
