I have also noticed that the "Gluten-Free" was removed from their brand of Vienna sausages. I'm wondering the same thing.

I would guess that at least on the vast majority of the items the ingredients didn't change. What probably changed is that some company lawyer got paranoid they'd be sued if someone got gluten. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if somebody (or several somebodies) with celiac did get glutened and made all kinds of noise about suing. There are a lot of people out there who don't realize that screaming "fire" every time they think they've been glutened is bad for the celiac community.

Another reason Walmart might have removed it is that the U.S. in fact has no official standard for gluten-free.

Is the stuff still gluten-free? Well of course oil would be. All Vienna sausages I've ever checked have been. Same with fruit snacks. All you can do is read the ingredients if there's no 800 number to call (and if they won't say gluten-free on the label any more, I doubt they'd say it on the phone).

How would a person know for sure that the gluten came from a particular product? We need to be very careful not to "spook" the companies that are trying to provide the foods we want and need. It would be awfully hard to prove cross contamination, but the resulting law suit could convince the company not to even try to go gluten-free.

Please recheck ingredients from a thread that is a couple of years old.

I think several years ago Wal-Mart did remove their gluten free labels, however, the Great Value products now contain a label that says "Naturally Gluten Free" and most of their products contain a manufacturered on equipment that also processes statement so between the two you can make assumptions based on your own sensitivity.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?

      Any Gluten-free Lipstick At Walgreens, Wal-mart, Etc?

      Have you tried lip balm made from tallow?  It's been used for thousands of years and works better than those with waxes. I prefer Vintage Traditions brand tallow balm products.
