Have you noticed if you have a problem with corn? Citric acid is very often corn derived.

I can't remember for sure, but I think that Blue Diamond products are not made in gluten free facilities. I contacted the company about a year and a half ago after thinking that my children and I might be reacting to their crackers. I think they said that they test to <20 ppm, but I could be wrong. Anyway, we figured out that we were definitely getting some CC from the crackers.

-We seem to be super sensitive though.

Many people probably eat them safely. But if you use the site google, you will see a lot of people have had some sort of issue with them.

I have not had any problem with corn. In Iga testing it was high normal but not a problem. In season, I have had half a cob every day but limit it to that.

The only vegetable that has been a problem is tomatoes, but not the other nightshade vegetables. A couple of days ago when shopping, I looked at the cans of tomatoes. They all contain citric acid. So perhaps tomatoes are not a problem after all--I need to test raw tomatoes.

I am not super sensitive so that could make a difference. Their box states that each production run is tested to not exceed 20PPM.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By trents · Posted

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.

      I was diagnosed at 18 months old with celiac and lived without wheat, rye, oats, and barley as instructed by my doctor, Dr. Katz at Boston Children's Hospital in the 60's and 70's. I don't agree nor recommend doctors removing oats from restriction, certified gluten-free or not.  I have eaten certified gluten free oats and have had the usual reactions to gluten.  Please reconsider this with newly diagnosed patients.

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.
