Hi All,

Could any who know offer some brands of shelled nuts that are guaranteed gluten and soy free? I currently shell all my own nuts, but am looking for some occassional quick ones. Specifically, I eat almonds, pecans, hazelnuts (or "filberts") and look for some roasted cashews as well. Thanks ahead of time for any thoughts. I also don't eat corn, dairy or nightshades.

I'm pretty sure that most of the Blue Diamond nuts are ok-they don't have that "made in a factory w..." warning that almost all the other nuts have-also Planters is ok I believe. I don't know for certain about the soy. Maybe someone else will weigh in here. The Blue Diamond nuts though, are put out by the same people who do the rice crackers-

Hi Lisa,

I didn't ask about soy, but I called Fisher about their roasted almonds and the man told me that they were gluten-free and that they didn't use any gluten in the production of that product.

I thought their customer service was very helpful and knowledgeable.

If you wanted to be extra-sure they were OK, you could always buy raw shelled almonds (or other nuts - except I think you leave peanuts in the shell for this? not sure.). They are easy to roast yourself, just put them in a pan in the oven on a low temp (275-300) and stir every few minutes. It has been awhile since I have done this, but it seems it took less than 15 minutes for them to be done. They do continue cooking a bit after coming out of the oven, so you might want to taste test and take them out when they are just slightly under-done. You can do a whole bunch at a time then store the extra in the freezer; they keep for a really long time.

I'm pretty sure I have also read that you can put them in a skillet on the burner on low heat and stir frequently until done.

EDIT: forgot to mention - Wal-Mart usually has a good selection of raw shelled nuts - they come in a black styrofoam sort of thing covered in saran type wrap. (I LOATHE promoting this company! But the nuts are good. *sigh*)

I know that this thread hasn't been brought up in years...but I have the same question. For instance, I avoid Blue Diamond brand because they say they were manufactured in the same facility as wheat. I mainly shop at Meijers and don't trust their brand, either. Unfortunately, those are the only 2 brands of nuts there.

I haven't found it to be much easier elsewhere. Whole Foods and Trader Joes both have issues with CC and their nuts...so I don't buy them, either.

I heard that Planters nuts are ok, except they only do peanuts, cashews and sunflower seeds (as far as I know, no walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, please correct me if I'm wrong).

I hope I don't have to resort to buying them online, but I don't see many other options right now.

I have a question about Trader Joe's:

Some of their nuts say "processed in a plant with wheat, etc." and some don't . . .

Since that info is not required, does NOT having it on the label mean it is safer(er)?

Or, are they just inconsistant with their labeling?

I've also noticed they have changed many of their products from "gluten free" to "no gluten ingredients" recently . . .

Could not find any nuts at Whole Foods that didn't say processed with wheat.

good questions, Cara. I wonder about all of those exact questions myself. I've pretty much given up on eating Trader Joes or Whole Foods brand nuts because of CC. But I wish their labeling (esp. in the case of Trader Joes) was much more consistent.

I've never had a problem with Planters nuts, but Blue Diamond definitely causes a reaction for me every time so I had to drop the almonds :angry: I haven't seen any brands around me that sell any safe ones either so I hope someone can shed some light onto this. Ordering them online can be really pricey with shipping =(

Yeah, Blue Diamond is bad news I'm afraid (CC issues). I bought some Planters nuts but most of them are salted and I wish I could find hazelnuts, walnuts and pine nuts that are ok. I know that nutsonline has a lot of nuts but you are right, shipping is SO expensive in addition to the already expensive price of the nuts :(

BTW, does anyone know whether Mauna Loa macadamia nuts are ok?

I've been drinking Blue Diamond Almond milk lately and don't seem to have a reaction to it . . . anyone know about CC with their milks?

I don't use blue diamond nuts because of contamination issues, but there milks are fine. There's a company called Prana that sells shelled nuts, and there's no chance of cross contamination with that.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
