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.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
