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..

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
