Does anyone know if the new chips called Beanito's are safe because they are a corn free chip but they are processed in a factory that also process wheat products. (Yet they can label it gluten free)

The definition of "Gluten-Free" remains unregulated in the US. In most other jurisdictions, it refers only to ingredients intentionally included, but does not say anything about shared facilities or equipment. Disclosure of cross-contamination risk is voluntary. If you see it, fine, but just because you don't see it that doesn't mean that the facility is dedicated.

Rhetorical questions: Do you allow any gluten-containing products in your home? If so, your home is a "shared facility." Do those products get eaten off the same plates, or using the same cutlery? If so, you have "shared equipment." Your dishwasher likely qualifies as "shared equipment."

Hello,

This is Mike from Beanitos. I completley understand your concern when it comes to being transparent. There are a lot of companies out there that make claims but don't have the certified evidence to back it up. It's mostly big corporate business that do business either as their parent company name or start smaller companies under the same umbrella and try to decieve consumers. We at Bean Brand Foods are a small family owned and run company. We believe in providing healthy alternative to corn, potato, soy, and wheat snacks that taste great - period.

That being said we also operate under the highest quality assurance and control process. We just underwent certified Gluten testing with our line of products. Beanitos tested less than 3 PPM(parts per million) for Gluten. There is no official standard but most "Gluten Free" products test around 20 PPM, and most home kits can only read as low as 10 PPM.

I hope this helps you in your decision to trying our great tasting, Certified Gluten Free, chips. If you have any other questions, please email us at info@beanitos.com

Until then, kick the corn, and Crunch Your Beans!

Cheers,

Mike

Beanitos

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
