Hi everyone, I've only registered on this site today, and I've already had lots of advice which I thank you all, but what does 'glutened' mean?

Welcome to the forum!

Basically, it means that someone that generally does not eat gluten, has ingested gluten, either accidental (cross-contamination with a gluten source) or on purpose.

For example, someone may eat at a restaurant, get sick from cross contamination, and say they were "glutened." Or, they may eat a product, and then later realize it wasn't gluten free - they were "glutened."

Happygirl is correct.

As a linguist of sorts, I will offer that this is a good example of a noun being "verbed." For example, you can't "Xerox" a document, but you can copy it using a Xerox machine. You can't "Hoover" the rug, but you can clean it using a Hoover vacuum cleaner. :angry:

Rant over.

Welcome aboard. :)

Well, yes, you may object to "verbed " nouns (or "nouned" verbs or "adjectived" verbs) but they are devilishly convenient and often more descriptive. To state that one has been glutened is totally different from stating that one has consumed gluten; the former implies a negativity, something that has been done to one (that one did not desire), while the latter is a neutral statement.

By the way, what does "mean" mean?? :o (Remind you of anyone? :lol: )

Enough silliness. Sorry to turn your perfectly proper question into nonsense, evey67, but I hope it at least answered your question. We usually reserve such silliness for the Silly Yaks thread.

Thank you all for the little titter I had over some replies, but most of all for the clarification of that point :wacko:

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten? I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
