Detecting Gluten


Mey Marie

Recommended Posts

Mey Marie Explorer

I read about a kit that can detect gluten in your food, before you eat it. It takes 10 minutes and it is supposed to be very accurate. I was wandering if anyone has heard of these tests. And if so, Is it a good idea to get. I just can't figure out were the gluten keeps coming from.

Also. My husband saw on Animal Planet, that this person has a dog who sniffs out gluten for them. I knew that they do it with peanuts, but I didn't know it could be done with gluten. We want to get a dog in the next few years and I figure it would be really great to get one that can smell gluten for me.

Something to help me stay free of PAIN for at least a week. I am so tired of being sick all the time, and dizzy.

An easy and quick fix, I am sorry to say, there is none! BUT, it beats being medicated! Your best bet is to be a quick learn on label reading.

Please don't waste your time and money on "gimmicks".

If you have food issues. Please feel free to post it here. There isn't one amongst us that has not had problems that we could not figure out. Great minds create great solutions. ;)

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
