gluten-free Grain That's Not Processed With Nuts?

I am wondering if anyone here has a source for gluten-free flours or grains that are not processed in a facility with nuts/peanuts?

Thanks

Though I haven't asked, Open Original Shared Link might have what you're looking for. While their repackaging facility might be shared, I haven't had CC issues. What I don't know is if the gluten-free mills which produce the flours also process nuts. I'd like to think not. I'd suggest contacting them and see what they say.

I use Kinnikinnick flours as their facility is nut and peanut free. I have Celiacs, and my daughter has a nut/peanut allergy so this flour works for us. I live in Canada and Kinnikinnick is a Canadian company - I am not sure how available it is in the US. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I have emailed them and will let you know what I find out! I like that they are (relatively) local and organic. My dream come true so I am sure it is not going to work :(

They get it from other suppliers so they don't know if they are produced with nuts/peanuts :( I knew it was too good to be true!

I'd guess that the certified gluten-free flours are more likely processed alone. And even if not, such a mill would probably be more careful about CC from anything else they may process. Since nuts don't go through the same milling machine (at least I wouldn't think so), wouldn't the chances of CC be considerably lower than the kinds of processed foods which share lines?

It is possible but I am not willing to chance it with a 3 year old who can't really pinpoint an anaphylactic reaction. Maybe as he gets older but not now.

Ah, I see. I agree, given a serious reaction like that. I haven't checked, but I'd like to think there'd be a home test for nuts like there is for gluten.

I do know that Bouchard Family Farm grows and mills their own buckwheat flour, and that's the only thing they process. I like the way pancakes turn out with this flour, but I haven't tried using it alone in a bread recipe. It does work nicely when combined with other types I regularly use though. I think it may work alone in muffins and brownies however.

Coconut is usually well tolerated by persons with nut allergies, and there are companies which only process coconuts. So perhaps you'd find some uses for coconut flour too.

Another company to check out is Open Original Shared Link. I don't see any statements about nuts, but they don't sell nut flours. There is a contact page, so it should be easy to ask them.

Open Original Shared Link appears to only sell sorghum grain and flour.

Open Original Shared Link sells only teff.

Ooops...forgot the link for the buckwheat flour:

Open Original Shared Link

I actually get this one at a regular food store, so they apparently do get distributed.

My daughter has Celiac & anaphylaxis to peanut/tree nut. We use Authentic Foods Classic Blend Flour.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
