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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
