While shopping the other day my grandmother actually read the back of the bag of some Great Value brand frozen veggies. She noticed they now have a wheat allergy warning on them. She passed it on to me as soon as she got home. So be warned, now we have to start watching plain vegetables!

What, exactly, did the warning say? It is a bit much to state "now contain wheat" without knowing. "Processed in a facility which also processes wheat" and "contains wheat" are not the same thing.

No, it doesn't say it CONTAINS wheat. It has the same CYA statement on it that many products have.

I am currently looking at the bag.

Ingredients: corn

Allergy warning: MAY CONTAIN TRACES OF MILK, WHEAT, AND SOY.

Those warnings are frustrating. I had to quit buying their brand of shredded mozzerella because of a nut warning. Nuts...aroung cheese? It was a lesson in having to read every. single. product label.

Hey, guess what, I didn't say it contains wheat, but that it has an allergy warning on it! May contain traces of milk, wheat, and soy. That is an allergy warning, not that it has wheat as an ingredient! Read the original post first. I was passing along information that there is an allergy warning, I will quite often get ill when I have something that has that warning. It was meant to be a courtesy since it was news to me.

Reread the title of your post.

I read your entire post, especially the topic title:

Walmart Gv Frozen Veggies Now Contain Wheat!

In that title you clearly claimed that they "Now Contain Wheat!"

Since you are now retreating from that claim, I will retitle the topic to reflect what you are actually claiming.

Thanks for the heads up. I may not have thought to look at the ingredients of a plain bag of frozen veggies for an allergy statement. Just shows that it is wise to read every label every time--I'm sensitive enough that foods with a "may contain traces of..." affect me every time. :)

Thanks for the heads up! I buy walmart brand stuff often. Probably wouldn't have thought ti look at a bag of just veggies. I too am bothered by stuff with those kind of claims. Have to say I'm disappointed to see we cannot get away from snippy drama in a group like this.

I'm guessing that with plain frozen vegetables there's very little chance of wheat. I'd eat it. Now if you were talking something like cereal, that's another matter.

Here in the midwest, many of Wal-Mart's frozen and canned veggies used to read "gluten-free." Then it changed.

I remember one week buying frozen vegetables that said gluten-free, and then a couple weeks later, noticing the labels had changed and the wheat statement had been added.

Probably in order to keep up with having the lowest prices, they change plants, sometimes frequently. When I shop there, I check every can or bag, and I do it even if I am purchasing multiples from the same spot -- sometimes new gets mixed in with old.

I think it's just a CYA from the supplier, since WalMart makes their suppliers disclose that kind of stuff. It's nice of WalMart, but then gets annoying when suppliers slap on a CYA disclaimer like that. I buy and eat their plain frozen veggies just fine.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia. going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 9...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
