Cross Contamination Issues

Does anyone know which brands do not have cross contamination? I'm not looking for brands people don't have issues with. I'm surprisingly sensitive and I'm really getting tired of buying products that are "gluten free" only to find out they share equipment with other products that contain gluten. I've heard just about every company swear they test and numbers come back with 0. Well I'm not buying it. I have still have reactions. I do NOT have dairy issues. I keep a pretty strict diet and know which products bother me. I've been on the diet for 5 months now. i feel like i cant eat anything unless i make it myself. And even then I find out products are bad.

I'm mainly looking for at least some chip brands that are either in a dedicated facility or are made in a separate facility from their products that contain wheat. I'm not interested in products that share equipment that don't give people issues. I need to stay away from that.

Thanks for any help!!!

There is no test that can prove zero content. The available tests can detect 5 parts per million.

To answer your specific question about chips. Here are the chips that come up most often as OK for most people. As Peter is fond of saying YMMV. :)

Mission corn chips & tortillas

Guerrero Tostados

Food Should Taste Good

Kettle Chips (the ones marked gluten-free)

i haven't ordered from the gluten free mall yet but i think i may have to start. i was hoping to find stuff locally. i do have a lot of markets in my area with a decent selection of gluten free stuff. the tough part is finding out about the manufacturing practices.

Some of us are sensitive to smaller amounts of trace cc than others. I am one of the more sensitive ones. I make things myself from scratch. I don't eat out. I wash everything. That is the only way for me to stay healthy. You may not be as bad as all that, but if you are, you can still survive, and it really isn't all that bad.

      Confused about my results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hurrah for an official diagnosis!   You may want to put the whole family on gluten free, as a preventative measure for the ones not testing positive right now.  Remember, exposure to gluten triggers the Celiac genes your kids have inherited from you.  Keeping them gluten free now, even though they don't test positive right now, can delay triggering Celiac Disease development in them.

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @annirosex, Get your Vitamin D level checked.  Low Vitamin D can mess up menstrual cycles.  Vitamin D at healthy levels (80-100) acts as a hormone and regulates your immune system.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is needed to activate Vitamin D, so adding thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial.

      Thank you! I saw a different provider this week who took one look at all my medical information and declared it was celiac in the first 5 minutes of the appointment. I am still a bit in shock but so very thankful to have an official diagnosis. The doctor told me to have my children tested and one of them came back with a "weak positive" TTG IgA! Not sure what to think about that! This week has been a wild ride. Thankfully this website has such great information! I've been going through all the do's and don't's of cross contact etc.

      Still unsure.....

      Good job! Brave astronaut! The other B vitamins can be stored in the body longer than thiamine.  You won't mess them up.

      I took my first 100 mg this morning. Let's see what happens. Still a bit nervous of messing up my other B vitamins since I don't have a B complex at the moment. Thanks for your replies Knitty Kitty!
