I Might Be Eating Gluten And Not Knowing It...

I am finding this whole Gluten Free diet a bit on the easy side and maybe that is b/c I am thinking that things are Gluten free and maybe they are not. I am getting good at reading labels and so far do think that I am eating gluten. And I thought that going gluten free would get me away from the junk food....I have a bit of a sweet tooth. But I am still eating potato chips, reading the labels and finding which ones are on the Gluten free lists and buying those ones, my favorite is plain old ripple chips and the ingredients are (potatos, vegetable oil, salt) so to me, they have no gluten in them. But then I realized today...what about cross contamination?? Am I going about this right, if the ingredients are all safe ( I check my list for everything I dont know about) then they are gluten free??

Also I am not supposted to have Dairy at the moment and that is harder for me to watch then the gluten, and I am doing well so far so I dont think that I have been glutened, I dont have any symptoms and I never really did before and I would think now that I am off gluten that if I consummed it I would get sick.

Thanks

If it doesn't say it's gluten-free then call the company. Cross contamination is serious.

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      Of all the countries I have visited in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, I have found eating out in Ireland to be the safest for celiacs. Most restaurants have all allergens (up to 14 different ones) identified on their menus, including wheat and gluten. I have found staff at restaurants to be very knowledgeable regarding gluten and cross-contamination compared to most other countries. Restaurant staff (including management) in Ireland even tried dissuading me from eating some items labeled 'gluten-free' on the menu, fearing that there could be risk of minuscule cross-contamination. Many of the hotels have fresh baked gluten-free breads, pastries, and cakes at their breakfast buffet, something unheard of in most U.S hotels. These are clearly labeled and well separated from gluten-containing items. There are also quite a few gluten-free desserts to satisfy one's sweet tooth.  With everything said and done, the meats and dairy products are simply delicious and worth trying. Overall, I would give dining out in Ireland five stars for celiac safety and quality.

      No, I meant two years ago when you had your most recent upper GI scope.
