I had some chips and salsa by Wild Harvest Organics today, and felt pretty awful after. They both looked safe, so I am assuming it was something else, but was wondering if anyone knew anything about these products.

I searched online and couldn't find anything.

Thanks!!

I called the distributers of Wild Harvest, and basically they took down my info and told me someone would get in touch within 72 hours. There is no gluten info on their web site..or anywhere I have tried searching.

Any info would be appreciated, and i will post what I find out when/if I do =)

I'm not sure about the chips and salsa, but I called on Sunday about the Wild Harvest Organics yogurt. I received a call from the supplier today that all of their yogurts are gluten free.

We have bought a few things of this brand. Can't remember now what they were. No problems with them, but then daughter is not celiac and has allergies, so her reactions are not necessarily the same.

RE:  wild harvest organic maple syrup is NOT gluten free.  I called the customer service number on the bottle and it linked me to albertsons corporation call center.  they called me back and said they cannot guarantee that the product was not cross contaminated in the process.  so my advice, DO NOT EAT IT.  my daughter is extremely gluten intolerant, as well as intolerant to xanthan gum and tapioca starch/flour.  also, just a side note, any product that DOES NOT state Certified gluten-free you should eat with caution.  i researched and learned that gluten free products contain 20 ppm (parts per million of gluten) and some a bit more.  however, if it is Certified gluten-free this means that the product is under 10 ppm and in some cases under 5 ppm depending on the certifying company.  this is so upsetting because you pay lots of money for gluten-free products and your still ingesting gluten! this is exactly why my daughter get sick after eating a couple servings of gluten-free prepared foods in a day... the ppm of gluten really adds up.  you don't know the amount of gluten your body can handle except trial by error, unfortunately! good luck trying to find the ppm values for your foods -- not easy, i still only found 1 list ( i think from this site).  just remember... there is a huge selling benefit to stating your product is certified gluten-free, so when a product DOES NOT do this, beware of consuming it because there is a reason why that food is NOT certified gluten-free.

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      I’ve recently had bloods test due to fatigue. Iron was found to be low Serum ferritin level 4 ug/L so doctor sent for Coeliac test. Results have come back TTG ABS NUMERICAL > 250.0 U/mL is this a high reading? Am not waiting a Gastroenterology referral but this could take 10 weeks! This is all total new to me, didn’t think for a second I would have coeliac disease. Been advised not to change diet until seen by specialist
