Dedicated gluten-free Brands?

I had a recent cross-contamination issue, and it turns out I'm a lot more sensitive than originally thought. My doctor has told me I need to now be more strict with my diet, and I'm not supposed to eat anything that has a risk of CC. Are there certain brands I can trust to be 100% free of CC? Are there any brands that only make gluten-free items?

Kinnickinnick, Glutino, Grainless Baker (my new favorite), Ener-g (hate their bread liked the crackers when I could still have soy, Gluten Free Pantry (their cake mixes are good and the French Bread Mix makes great pizza). Wegmans products with the circle G, if you have one nearby. I have never been CC'd by anything from Wegmans and I am pretty sensitive. I am sure there are others that folks will list.

Glutino, Kinnikinnick, and the Whole Foods gluten-free bakery are dedicated facilities and most people around here eat them fine. I don't know whether Udi's bread is from a dedicated facility, but people do really well with that one too.

There is still a small chance of CC in most gluten-free flours and grains because there is so much wheat in fields, grain elevators, and trucks, but all of those companies are being really careful about where thy buy their ingredients.

Thanks, I will check out those brands.

I've used Udi in the past, with no problems. However, I just moved to a new city and the Whole Foods here doesn't carry it for some reason. I have used some products from Whole Foods gluten-free bakery, so I'll have to see what else they have to offer.

For pasta, Tinkyada is excellent and they make only gluten-free products. I prefer the brown rice ones personally.

Enjoy Life Foods has a dedicated facility. They have really good trail mixes--their Snickerdoodle cookies are quite popular too, as well as their chocolate chips and bars..

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      I think your question needs clarification. Are you asking who gets sick from consuming some of these prolamins are all of them? Everyone in the celiac/gluten sensitive community will get sick from consuming gliadin, hordein and secalin. Some will also get sick from consuming avenin. Apparently, some don't do well with any of them.

      Prolamins are a type of protein found in cereal grains. Different cereal grains contain different types of prolamins, which are named based on the grain they originate from.  Here's a breakdown by grain:  Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. Rice: The prolamin is called oryzenin. Sorghum: The prolamin is called kafirin. Prolamins are a major component of cereal storage proteins and are known for their high proline and glutamine content and can get celiacs and non-celiac gluten sensitive individuals sick.
