I'd really like to start making my own almond milk and cashew milk. Pretty much all the nuts I can find are "packaged in a facility with wheat" yada, yada, yada. So I'm just curiuos if anyone else makes their own alternative milks, and if so, where do you buy your nuts from? Ha, hubby read this and laughed. I guess the word "nuts" is still funny no matter what age you are, lol. Anyway, thanks!

Nuts....Hee!! :D

Anywoo, I buy my nuts at Kroger in the produce section. I eat walnuts and almonds, and they carry one pound bags of each of those from Poindexter Nut Company. The bags actually say--"processed and packaged in a gluten and peanut free facility". (love that!)

Costco is the place to go, their cashews are so good! Planters sucks compared to Costco cashews and you can get a big bag of raw almonds or salted and roasted for a good price.

We buy a huge container of Sunkist Almonds at Sams and they are delicious! We buy our sunflower seeds, not nuts I know, but...at Whole Foods, their 365 brand. I may try their other nuts sometimes. We also have a hard time with nuts because you are right, most are processed on same lines as wheat. No thanks!

Oh, also the almonds we buy have no MSG!

I buy mine at Trader Joes. Nuts are listed on their gluten free list to I'm assuming. Prices seem good too I think

Just wondering, are the cashews sold at your Costco labeled with a, "Packed on" warning??? I stopped buying them, because I continued to experience set-back issues with my diet. I would be happy to find out that they are safe to eat...

I looked at the back of my almonds and cashews and yes there was a warning, but not on my walnuts which I dont understand. lol I stopped buying cashews because my dh and I can never put the dang jar down.

I am not sure if they are 100% safe, I should call Kirkland

      PS - I agree with @Mari, and it works best when taken right before eating anything that might be contaminated, but in the case of the review above, my mother took it ~5-10 minutes after finishing her last bite of regular pie.

      Although this is a paid review which I wrote after receiving a free bottle from them, it is a true story. I had planned to take a couple before eating out for a few weeks, then write the review, however, a situation developed that changed the entire course of my review:

      Welcome to the forum, @Olenaideole! There are phone apps that read product bar codes to check for gluten ingredients but they depend on user input maintained data bases so they are generally incomplete. There have also been pocket gluten detection meter gadgets available in the past but I'm not sure if any are still on the market. The main company that manufactured them sold the business to someone else who eventually discontinued the product. Not sure if any knock offs are available yet. And even so, that was an expensive gadget that required the purchase of non reusable cartridges that were themselves expensive.

      Welcome to the forum, @Gliadingoaway! You say you "avoided gluten for awhile". What was the timing of that with regard to when the biopsy and blood draw for the celiac antibody tests were done? If they coincided, that would explain the negative biopsy results and the mixed results in the blood antibody testing for celiac disease. Any testing for celiac disease is invalidated when a person has been on a gluten free diet leading up to the testing. Those having already embarked on the gluten free diet must restart gluten consumption in generous amounts for weeks/months prior to testing if they wish a valid diagnosis. By generous amounts, I mean at least 10g of gluten daily which is the amount found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      Welcome to the forum, @Redlima! Not sure if this could relate to your issue but it is well-known by the celiac community that gluten has an opiate-like effect that causes some people to experience withdrawal symptoms upon going gluten free. This usually manifests itself within the first few weeks. So, I'm not sure that fits with your time frame. Also, I wonder if the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel since going gluten free and how that improves absorption of vitamins and minerals might have something to do with what you describe. It may have changed the way the SSRI was being metabolized or something. When you ask about the impact of CBT on mental health after going gluten free are you referring to the direct effect of CBT on mood or to coping with the social impact and lifestyle changes that celiac disease and having to eat gluten free inevitably brings?
