Gluten Free Nuts

Has anyone had experience with Kirklands Walnuts or Almonds. I cannot tolerate even the trace amounts of CC on most nuts. I am really missing not having nuts in my diet. I know they are not processed in a gluten free facility, so I'm wondering if some of you might have some information. Can I eat them? I checked out a lot of places online and they all tell me their nuts are processed with wheat. I got sick from some raw pumpkin seeds I bought from nutsonline dot com. Thanks for any help.....signed desperate for a nut...:)

I am HIGHLY sensitive to gluten and Planter's mixed nuts, made by Kraft, (like the South Beach diet mix- not the roasted-I haven't tried those) have never given me any issues. I have eaten them almost daily for 2 years and I would know if there were any gluten.

Just a thought...others will post,

I buy all the different Kirkland brand nuts as well as the trail mix, no problems and my dd is super-sensitive.

I was wondering the same thing. I bought organic nuts and dried fruits from the health food store. They couldn't tell me whether they were prepared in a gluten-free environment since they were packaged in plain, unlabeled plastic bags. I'm afraid to eat them!! I'm new at all of this and have made at least one mistake every day for the 6+ weeks I've been at this. I would appreciate input along with 'desperate for a nut'. Thanks for the help.

Thank you Lisa and celiac-mommy! I will try both of them...:) Appreciate your help.

Ann72601 I would be leary of any fruit or nuts out of those bins in the health food store. If that's where they came from, and if not, with no label it's like playing Russian Roulette. The bins can be cross contaminated. You will make mistakes, we all do, hopefully as we become more aware the mistakes will be less and less, just be diligent and read your labels. It's been a little over a year for me and every once in a while something slips by me. I eat a whole food diet so it's not so hard for me. But like I said I am missing nuts...and hope to be able to add these back into my diet...hope the same for you, good luck. Linda

I truly appreciate the help that is given to me by the kind and seasoned folks here. I always leave feeling not only more informed, but hopeful. Thank you so much.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

I am also highly sensitive to any CC and have confirmation that Blue Diamonds Almonds are perfectly safe, even the majority of the flavored ones are ok. Just be careful of a couple of their flavors like Wasabi and Soy Sauce. Those do have wheat but it is clearly listed. I think there is also one other flavor that might have gluten so just read the labels.

Planters as previously mentioned are pretty much safe, but there a couple of them that do contain oats and possibly even wheat, so again, just read the labels.

I buy either Now brand nuts or I get Wegmans brand. If you shop at Wegmans do be sure that the size container you get has the circle G. I usually get cashews there and noticed at one time that one size had the G and another size package didn't. When I called to ask they said that different companies produce the different sizes and the ones without the G were not gluten free.

Thanks for starting this thread! I'm still adapting to eating gluten free, and I thought reading labels had pretty much become a habit, but I have never thought about checking the ingredients on bags of nuts! I'm glad I found this site, it's been very helpful!

I try to buy them in the shell from the source.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
