Confused About Nuts

That is true, there is a year time to do so.

The two companies I mentioned I have been in contact with. If you like I can send your their contact info and you can contact them yourself. I use nuts primarily in my products and having family and friends who are allergic to gluten has pushed me to double check with every manufacturer I use to make sure.

Also, foods being shared with the same machines as gluten aren't 100% safe from gluten getting onto the gluten free product, but the companies are suppose to take every measure possible to reduce it. I do stay away from products like that and go for products that are gluten free and then check with the manufacturer to make sure.

 

 

Thank you for the info on those companies. I'll give them a call.

 

Also, companies do not need "to take every measure possible" to clean their lines of allergens. I've heard of many that do not clean their lines at all. That's why it's important to ask. Just don't want any new people to get confused. :)

 

That being said, I did contact Blue Diamond because I've heard mixed things about their gluten free status and people reacting to their products. The woman who I spoke with said that they take particular care to clean their lines and assured me that their almonds (aside from two products) are gluten free. Below is the follow up email I got:

 

 

Thank you for contacting Blue Diamond Growers with your product inquiry.

Our Gluten Free products include:

NUT-THINS Crackers (all 6 flavors)

o     made with no wheat or gluten ingredients

o     made in a wheat & gluten free facility 

ALMOND BREEZE non-dairy almond milk beverage

o     no wheat or gluten ingredients are used in making this product line

o     product is made on a dedicated line

Most of our almonds are wheat & gluten free. The ones you will want to avoid are the following:

o     AVOID BOLD Wasabi & Soy Sauce (wheat is in the seasonings and is listed on the label)

o     AVOID - Jordan Almonds

Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

 

Sincerely,

Francis Rivera

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By Wends · Posted

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS.  I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input and will let you know if I have a problem with wheat again. I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.
