Just an FYI,

I called Walmart to find out if their mixed nuts are gluten free. It does not say so on the label and it does say that they are made in a facility with wheat. They returned my call today and their policy is that if any item is made in a facility that also makes items with wheat they will not label it gluten free. The nuts are are not produced on the same lines as any gluten containing products, just in the same facility. What a strict and awesome policy. It's nice to know that their 'Gluten Free' labeled products are truly that!

I will continue to eat them knowing they are on separate lines.

This is good to know, Wegmans has the same policy. I found out when I noticed a large can of nuts had a circle G but the small cans didn't. I called to find out why and they said much the same thing Walmart did. The small cans were made in a different facility that had CC issue so the small cans were not labeled gluten-free even though they had the same ingredients on the label. I have never been CC'd by Wegmans gluten free stuff unlike a lot of other mainstream brands. I love companies that have food that is not just gluten free by ingredients but also by CC risk. It makes things so much easier. Our Walmart is going to add a grocery store expansion and it will be nice to have another store brand I can trust.

I noticed that with the nuts at Wegmans too. I just bought some of the honey-roasted cashews....very good. I haven't been glutened by any of their products yet. Since it is the store brand the prices are nice too :) Our walmart has a grocery store but it is not in the nicest area and so I tend to avoid that store. I have heard good things about the Walmart labeling. It is nice to know when company understands our needs.

Does anyone know . . . does Wal-Mart call out all sources of gluten (like Kraft)? I buy the items that say gluten free and I have bought items that clearly don't have gluten (where the label actually has items listed that you KNOW what that is). But what about (my favorite) "natural flavor". Does Wal-Mart call out the source if it's from gluten? At this point, I have passed on these items.

Walmart is the only place that I'll do my grocery shopping since I discovered Great Value Brand. I used to shop at several different grocery stores to get all of my food items. Its nice to have a one stop shop. :)

      Newly Diagnosed

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NCalvo822! Ditto to what Scott said. But let me ask you, what method or methods did your physician use to diagnose you as having celiac disease? Normally, it is a two step process. The first step involves a blood test that looks for certain antibodies produced by celiac disease. The second step involves an upper GI scoping and biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage to the lining typically caused by celiac disease. This second step is used as confirmation of the blood work when the antibody testing turns up some positives. Occasionally, positive antibody tests scores can be caused by things besides celiac disease. Which of these were done or did you have both done before the doc declared you to have celiac disease?

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      Frustrated

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!
