does any one eat products that say, gluten free, but then also say produced in a facility that uses wheat. i bought Dr. pragers fish patty's, right on the front, it says gluten free (they are sold also on Gluten free mall)

when i emailed the company this was their response.

Hi Mary Lou: Thank you for writing. I am very sorry that you do not think you can eat Dr. Praeger

If I got a response like that, I'd eat the product.

The warning is there for celiacs like me who are sensitive to extremely low levels of gluten. I am happy when companies are conscientious enough to put such labels on their packaging. I would not eat them. Not all celiacs are the same in how much trace gluten they can handle without noticing symptoms.

I would eat the product. I don't believe I'm particularly sensitive and tend to believe companies put that on their products to cover their own bums versus warn us that there's a good chance we'll get CC'd.

I would eat that. The ones I stay away from are the ones that say they are produced on the same equipment.

i still have not eaten the fish.

for those who think Dr. pragers did a good job in their description, i had to e mail them to get that response, that was not an the pkg. the front of the box says gluten free, the back of the box, says manufactured in a facility that uses wheat.,if it wouldn't have said "gluten free", in big blue letters, on the front, i wouldn't have purchased it.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      You called it @knitty kitty. I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold). I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections. So it seems that I am possibly dealing that...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I'm concerned about calcium. I don't think I'm getting enough especially since I ended up having to get off dairy when I went gluten free. However, if you have too much calcium, it can deposit in the wrong places and you can get thinks like bone spurs. I'd like find a decent supplement for that. Was thinking of looking into the algae based calcium supplements...

      bread

      Wanted to tell someone, I finally made an edible gluten free bread. It took me several hours to make and it didn't taste like what I was trying to make, but it did taste like a bread. Was looking all over for bread machine recipes and I ran across this one on the Internet: https://www.snapcalorie.com/recipes/gluten_free_oat_challah_bread_machine.html ...

      Gluten Allergy

      The concept of "over-methylation" as a common clinical condition is not supported by mainstream medicine. While methylation is a crucial biochemical process, the idea that people frequently become "over-methylated" and that this is linked to B6 deficiency is a speculative theory, not an established fact.

      You called it @knitty kitty.  I went to another health care provider for another opinion, and based on some tests they did, they suggested I might also be dealing with a fungal issue (candida and/or mold).  I saw that you mentioned before in this chain that some people on this forum also get Candida infections.  So it seems that I am possibly dealing that issue in my gut as well. I think some of the symptoms that I've been not able to understand now make a lot of sense within this context (such as why eating dairy and sugar sometimes causes me to get headaches, joint pain, chills, feel like I have the flu... if these things are making the candida infection worse by feeding the candida, and then my body responds by trying to fight it off, then I basically am fighting off an infection, which is exactly what it feels like).  The flu-like reaction that I get when I eat dairy is a distinct reaction than the one I get from getting glutened (which is also bad, but different: headache, sharp abdominal pains, gas, diarrhea). That's what made me think there was something else at play.
