So I went shopping at trader Joes yesterday.......I am new to this gluten free diet......They have a list of gluten free stuff which makes it easier for you to shop......So I got a few breads, pastas, cereals and such.....The mac and cheese is so yummy!!! I was looking for a chocolate cookie but they didnt seem to have any so I asked someone who worked there.....He said they had a flourless chocolate cake which is phenominal!! I need my chocolate fix lol

So I was reading the ingredients and after all the ingredients it says it is made on equiptment shared with wheat and nuts!!! I am a little hesitant in eating it again......What do you think?

Welcome, and I have to say what a beautiful picture on your profile.

Shared equipment is a trial and error. Some very sensitive may have issues, and others not. In the beginning of the diet, I would recommend that you not, just to expedite healing.

Once some healing has taken place, you can slowly add things to your diet and be aware of a reaction.

I get the chocolate flourless cake all the time. I haven't had any issues. Like she said it can be trial and error. But so far it has been good! And yes it is delicous. It is similar to the chocholate flourless domes at P.F.Changs. Just a little desnser.

I agree with Mamma Gooses' advice and I would also ask you if when you do consume gluten are you symptomatic? If you are then it will be easier for you to tell if food items produced on equipment that also is used to process wheat items is giving you a Celiac reaction. If not, well, you are just guessing.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
