How Many Of You Eat gluten-free Food...even Though It's Processed In A Plant

that processes wheat? I'm finding lots of food at Walmart that is gluten-free but has a chance of CC. What is the chances of CC? For example...Great Value Baking Soda, Baking Powder, Seafood Sauce and Black beans...all gluten free but processed in a plant that also processes wheat products. If I eliminate those "possible" products...I am making life SO MUCH harder..but at the same time...don't want to hurt Kara. Which brings me back to my other question..what in the world are the chances of gettig gluttened? HELP!!

Thanks, Mary

I eat those things. Trader joes has alot of products like that and if i have problems with a product I just don't get it again. I have only had anything happen once and it wasn't a major case of CC.

I eat them also......TONS of things from Trader Joe's. Try them once, see if I react - if I don't, I consider them safe until proven otherwise......

I do, too. And depending on the manufacturer, I sometimes even use in small amounts things that are on shared equipment. A lot of stuff from Williams Sonoma and Trader Joe's are on shared equipment, but I haven't seen a problem. I heard that Trader Joe's will stop using the equipment on Friday afternoon and through the weekend so that everything settles, then they clean first thing Monday morning and cook the things that are without gluten. Haven't had a problem yet.

We eat that kind of food, but we also learn from our experiences. Some manufacturers seem to have a higher CC risk, so after a couple of bad experiences we avoid them, like Frito-Lay.

I eat them, and like others if things bother me I don't buy them again. It really comes down to personal preference and it is a choice you need to make on your own. I don't do Frito-Lay either.

I think that's true.......I have read of SO many problems w/ Frito-Lay.......but I can't even remember a problem with Trader Joe's, thank God!

I don't let my little girl eat them.....only b/c we've tried a few times, and she seemed to react. But there's no way for me to know for sure if it was the particular item she was reacting too, or something else. She's 5, but she's still working on her language skills and doesn't usually tell me when she doesn't feel well. She just gets very irritable and has meltdowns.

B/c of this, I finally decided to just make it easier to figure out a possible glutening by cutting out anything "made in a facility....", that way I don't have a gazillion products to weed through if she seems to be reacting to something. Of course though, with the new labeling laws, anything can have less than 20ppm of gluten and still be called gluten free, which really chaps my hide. Rice Dream now says Gluten Free, but my daughter definately reacted to it, Argh!

Anyway, that's why we don't do products from Walmart that are a possible CC risk......but it's different for everyone!

I will usually eat products made in the same facility, but try not to eat the products made on the same lines. I just don't trust that the lines get clean enough.

We do not eat anything with that warning on it. We have reacted too many times to risk it.

Both Walmart's great value brand and Wegmans store brand are labeled as glutened free and I have not run into any problems from either. It is also nice when it comes to making dollars stretch. Both are the "generic house brand" so are cheapier than say Kraft etc.

I try to limit these things as much as I can. I recently threw out all Frito-Lay products in the house. My son has been glutened by those stupid chips too many times. :angry: We won't risk that company again.

I guess we are doing what Susie and others are doing- we try it out and see. If a reaction occurs, we'll quit using the product.

I think there's a much higher chance of having a reaction to something made on shared equipment, than in a shared facility. But that probably depends on the product, too. (ie, is actual flour flying around?)

Just a quick FYI on Walmarts Great Value Brand products. If they are labeled 'gluten free' they are not produced in a facility or on lines with products containing gluten. I called recently about their mixed nuts and they told me they don't consider them gluten free because they are produced in a facility with wheat products, but not on the same lines. I still eat them with no problems.

They have a very strict labeling policy.

This is how Wegmans is, so I trust them.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
