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..

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
