Glutino Products & Iodine Issues

Firstly let me say that Glutino products are made in a dedicated gluten free facility. They don't make anything that contains gluten at all. I'm saying this mostly for the newbies to this board. Glutino does not say on their packages nor on their website that they make their stuff in dedicated gluten-free facilities ~~~ I guess to them it's a no brainer but to people who don't know that ALL they make are gluten-free products then it's a question up for grabs. I didn't know. And so I called them. When they told me that I suggested they at least state that on the home page of their website. She said she would put that through to the website manager.

Secondly, I got to thinking & wondering if they use iodized salt in their products so I emailed them. The following is my question & their answer:

Do you use iodized salt in your products? I ask because I have dermatitis herpetiformis & have to go low iodine when it flares so I need to know.

Thank you for contacting Glutino. We use non iodized salt.

That may be--but both my boyfriend and I got headaches from eating their cookies. I think the special de-glutenized flour they use is safe for many, but not all.

And this is relevant to the iodine topic because???

Only in that she started by saying the Glutino products are produced in a completely safe non gluten environment. They clearly are not safe for everyone due to the type of flour they use.

Nevertheless I agree, it is not relevant to the iodine issue per se.

Thank you for posting this information.

The last time I had a reaction I had only eaten glutino pretzels and wondered about the salt.

I have DH.

It turns out I was reacting to gluten CC and I eventually found the source and it wasn't their product.

It is good to know they don't use iodized salt in their products.

Especially for those of us with DH.

Thanks again.

Squirmingitch,

What can I say, but, I LOVE YOU!!! I was just thinking about throwing away any munchies with salt on them because I can't stand this DH anymore. I'm so tired of not sleeping at night, that now I am going to seriously (not halfheartedly) watch my iodine intake. It's so good to know that I can still have a salty snack once in awhile.

Thanks, Laura :lol:

I'm SO glad! I also posted about Frito Lay! Gluten-free snacks from them are safe --- no iodized salt. AND Old El Paso stuff too. YAY!biggrin.gif

But you have to check about everything --- I once called about some ham that we love & they use iodized salt.sad.gif

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
