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.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia and @Russ H thank you both for your helpful advice and information. I haven't seen a GI in years. They never helped me aside from my inital diagnosis. All other help has come from my own research, which is why I came here. I will be even more careful in the future.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, you are welcome. After looking at this thread again, I would like to suggest that some of the other comments from @Russ H are worth following up on. The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down...

The bird-bread may or may not be contributing to what you are experiencing, but it seems unlikely to be the whole story. If you have access to decent healthcare, I would write down your experiences and questions in outline form and bring this to your Dr. I suggest writing it down so you don't get distracted from telling the Dr everything you want to say while you have their attention.
