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. :)

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
