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. :)

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
