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.

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.

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.
