Help, I have only had celiac disease since August. I am half Irish and always make corned beed cabbage and noodles for St Patricks Day. I live in the Cleveland area, and have contacted the grocery store near me and they have packaged uncooked corned beef with the little packet of seasonings but tell me its not gluten free. Please can someone tell me where to get gluten free corned beef to cook for St Pattys day.

Although the seasonings could contain gluten, it is almost certain that the corned beef itself is gluten-free. I am not aware of one that does, but it is conceivable. If you are in the US or Canada, the presence of wheat would have to be clearly disclosed. Rye only appears in obvious places like bread. I can't imagine why anybody would add barley to beef. When hidden it is usually a sweetener--not something you would want in corned beef.

Also, be aware that "not gluten-free" may simply mean "we don't test and don't want to risk a lawsuit in case there is unintenional contamination."

I picked up a corned beef yesterday at the grocery store, they had 3 different brands and everyone of them said gluten-free on the package. It was written in small letters and somewhere off to the side or bottom corner. I was super excited, I look forward to corned beef and cabbage every year!

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      I did not realize there is an HLA type that is associated with Celiac. I google it and found that while 90% of people with Celiac carry that marker, so do about 25% of the general population.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      When you say you didn't think twice when it was offered to you, are you meaning that you dismissed it or that without hesitation you got the vaccination?

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I would note that the article linked here is putting forth a hypothesis, not presenting a scientific conclusion. And the one about zinc as a treatment for shingles is careful to say that the evidence is weak. It gets a "Source of validity" science rating of 2 out of 5.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      When I had my Shingles attack in 2019 my vitamin D was at 49 ng/ml. Doctor gave me an antiviral shot and 2 tubes of lidocaine. Sufficient intake of vitamin D and the antiviral essential mineral Zinc can help reduce risk of viral infections. I've been taking Zinc Glyconate lozenges since 2004 for airborne viruses. I have not had a cold since,...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me. Soon after diagnosis I suffered...

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me.  Soon after diagnosis I suffered mystery symptoms of burning nerve pain, following two separate dermatomes, and one GP said he felt that I had contracted shingles without the rash aka zoster sine herpete.  Of course, without the rash, it's a difficult diagnosis to prove, but looking back I think he was completely spot on.  It was miserable and lasted about a year, which I gather is quite typical. For UK coeliacs reading this, it is worth having a conversation with your GP if you haven't been vaccinated against shingles yet, if you are immunosuppressed or over 50. I have just googled this quickly - it is a helpful summary which I unashamedly took from AI, short for time as I am this morning!   My apologies. In the UK, coeliac patients aren't automatically eligible for the shingles jab unless they're severely immunosuppressed or over the general age for vaccination (currently 50+) but Coeliac UK recommends discussing the vaccine with a GP due to potential splenic dysfunction, which can increase risk, even if not routine for all coeliacs. Eligibility hinges on specific criteria like weakened immunity (chemo, certain meds) or age, with the non-live Shingrix vaccine offered in two doses to those deemed high-risk, often starting from age 18 for the immunocompromised.

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.
