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.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
