That's what I was going to say. :D

Shelton's too although their turkey bacon isn't as good as the other two.

I get my bacon from Market Day, which is kind of like a Shawns. You can order on-line (with nifty gluten free symbols right on the items!) and pick it up at a local school or church - and it's a fundraisor too!

Beelers. They even treat their piggies nicely, which is a must for me. The pepper bacon is the best.

Hormel has a bacon with no preservatives.

Gluten usally a problem with bacon is it? I hope not i've not been checking. I haven't been checking for MSG either....

Is it common to find MSG and Gluten in Bacon?

Most bacon does not contain gluten (I think the McDonalds one does??). But you still need to check *anything* that you consume.

Only McDonalds would add gluten to bacon!

I know I should, but I pretty much concider all unprocessed meats ok... I guess bacon isn't really unprocessed.. but it's not like lunch meat... but then it's not like steak either.

I've been bad... But to my defense I saw Glutamic Acid in my Shampoo and got out the shower to google it to make sure I could use it! I'm still confuzzled why they put that in Shampoo...

lunch meat sliced at the deli counter, however, is *very* prone to contamination. there are some lunch meats that are NOT gluten free. and, actually, you can buy hamburger meat at the store that has breadcrumbs already in it for making hamburgers. (saw it on a business trip once.) heck, even self-basting turkeys aren't a safe option.

Boar's Head bacon says gluten-free right on the label.

I think that "smoke" flavor is often made with gluten. That is part of the problem.

Boars Head? Yum. I like their horseradish.

We have a local pork company, Hempler's, which is great, to buy locally. They make a gluten-free uncured bacon - but most stores don't carry it and it's more expensive than Beelers.

Uncured Bacon is better than cured bacon, as well. Aim for that. It's slightly different, but once you get used to it, it's way better for you.

I love boarshead, the deli counter I go to has a gluten free slicer just for gluten-free requests and it's wiped down good before each use. It's rare I get that though, kinda expensive. As far as lunch meat goes, i would never trust anything but boars head. I dont' trust hot dogs, I don't even buy pre made patties, always just plain ground beef.

I really hoe places make meat not safe!

it wasn't premade patties that had breadcrumbs added - it was just a package of ground beef I saw in the meat counter. I checked it, saw it had ingredients, which included wheat. (and promptly recoiled in horror!) totally easy to accidentally pick that up because you *don't* expect an ingredient list on a 1.x pound package of "ground beef".

I get Trader Joe's bacon and it is delicious. My husband who is an Oscar Meyers bacon guy says it is really good too.

Thank you all. I found an uncured all natural bacon and it was wonderful. So good. Hit the spot

Bacon is almost without exception gluten-free. The McDonald's "bacon" isn't real bacon as far as I'm concerned -- wheat starch in it. There's one other bacon -- Farmer John's maybe? -- I've heard of that has soy sauce in it, but it's not a national brand.

I don't know about MSG since that's not a problem for me.

I can respect anybody who makes a personal decision to avoid pre-made hamburger patties etc, but for anybody else who's wondering, according to USDA laws written long before the allergen law, if that meat has any grain in it -- and that includes rye or barley -- it MUST be listed.

for clarification, since I brought up this point - the wheat *was* labeled on the package. but if you make assumptions that "raw meat is safe", and don't read the package, you'd have missed it, because it visually looks like any other package of raw, bulk, hamburger meat (not prepackaged, but done at the butcher). all the information is there to keep yourself from getting sick, it's just up to us to use it, and not make assumptions.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to...

      Small Bowel Resection 12 inches

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes...

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.

      There are two gluten-related disorders that share many of the same symptoms but differ in nature from each other. One is known as celiac disease or "gluten intolerance". By nature, it is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the ingestion of gluten triggers the body to attack it's own tissues, specifically the lining of the small bowel. This attack causes inflammation and produces antibodies that can be detected in the blood by specific tests like the TTG-IGA test you had. Over time, if gluten is not withheld, this inflammation can cause severe damage to the lining of the small bowel and even result in nutrient deficiency related health issues since the small bowel lining is organ where all the nutrition found in our food is absorbed.  The other is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just "gluten sensitivity") which we know less about and are unsure of the exact mechanism of action. It is not an autoimmune disorder and unlike celiac disease it does not damage the lining of the small bowel, though, like celiac disease, it can cause GI distress and it can also do other kinds of damage to the body. It is thought to be more common than celiac disease. Currently, we cannot test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out to arrive at a diagnosis of NCGS. Both disorders require elimination of gluten from the diet.  Either of these disorders can find their onset at any stage of life. We know that celiac disease has a genetic component but the genes are inactive until awakened by some stress event. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% develop active celiac disease. The incidence of NCGS is thought to be considerably higher. I hope this helps.
