Wellshire farms has yummy bacon....they have a website which you can order from. Also, some stores, like whole foods and harry's carry this brand.

Personally I opt for the Turkey Bacon. It has less overall junk in it (Especially MSG) and is better than eating pork. But, I also understand to each his/her own.

Sorry, forgot to mention that Wellshire farms makes a turkey bacon as well...their meats are very good, but can be a bit expensive. I too have heard that Oscar Meyer is gluten-free, so they are always a cheaper fall-back.

Yes, I don't remember the name.. but I was reading the ingredients to one of the bacons and it said that it had soy sauce in it. I am sorry I do not remember the name, but if I were you, I would check all of the ingredients just to be sure.

My baacon does not have ingredents :) Well besides.. get this.. bacon :)

Sreously.. if i am buying somthing like beef, that should not have ingredients.. and it DOES... I just dont buy it. Bacon usally has nitrates and one other thing that Im not recalling right now.. but never anything like soy sauce, I perfer to never buy it with all those additives.

I always read the label - bacon has a ton of ingredients, seasonings, natural smoke flavor, msg, sugar, etc etc etc. Gross! I usually get the organic stuff at my store - Coleman's makes one that is nitrate free...

I did have to ask a butcher once when were getting some of that thick stuff they have in the meat counter - he had to go into the walk-in, get another box, and brought it out to show me (very nice of him, BTW!) It was fine. I did play roulette on some bacon at a restaurant recently (in a moment of weakness) and did not get sick. But I don't usually do that anymore, too risky.

I believe the bacon that has soy sauce is called Farmer John's, sold just in California. McDonald's bacon, which I'm not sure is really bacon, has wheat starch. Other than that, every bacon I've checked has been gluten-free.

Farmer Johns' sausage also has soy sauce and wheat attives.

Stay away from Farmer John products

Kirkland maple flavored bacon has gluten also. I tend to buy the uncured bacon as nitrates can cause stomach cancer and I feel I have enough going on in my tummy without adding nitrates! So, I get uncured bacon, ham and hot dogs. I love the Wellshire Farms peppered uncured bacon. Wellshire farms puts a smart shopper label on all their products with gluten-free for gluten free, LS for low sodium, etc. It really helps!

what are nitrates, exactly?

i have Oscar Mayer in the fridge right now, but it curls up too much in the pan! i like it *very* crispy. ;) i'll have to try something else next time, thanks for the info!

Here's a website that has an explaination of nitrate/nitrites. :)

I usually take Applegate Farms, Organic Turkey Bacon and cut in half & then cut it lengthwise. This makes strips that look more like regular bacon and are easier to get crisp!

Thanks for that website! When I clicked on eat at the top it took me to a page where they list all kinds of food. I clicked on eggplant and it gave colored pictures, descriptions, and properties of the eggplant as well as recipes to cook them. They do that for all the listings. :)

      Scott Adams makes an excellent point about the possible pending scope with biopsy being the reason you were advised to keep eating gluten, @NCalvo822! You might want to get some clarification about that. What you don't want to happen is to go gluten free and then have to go back on gluten at some point in order to produce valid scoping/biopsy results.

      It's possible that your doctor wants you to do an endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis, and if that is the case that could be why they don't want you to go gluten-free before that procedure is done. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends...

      Hi! Your history is interesting as I see parallels with my history. I too had migraines since childhood, but they run in my family so I didn’t think there could be any connection to the celiac. Also, the migraines have tapered off after menopause. I too have trouble walking in a straight line. And yet another similarity is I have been seeing both a dermatologist a...

      Migraines ran in my family, on my father's side.  All of my female first cousins on that side, and our grandmother suffered from Migraines.  Grandmother died in 1984 so we do not know if she ever would have been diagnosed with celiac disease. However, all 4 of us cousins were diagnosed with celiac disease between 2003 and 2007.  The dermatitis herpetiformis rash is a blistery, super itchy rash.  When they do the biopsy they take it from non-involved skin that is next to the rash.  If done wrong, the results may not be accurate.  Have you ever had one done? In that case, I agree that maybe she has you still on gluten for a biopsy.  But, if she has not ordered it nor referred you to a gastroenterologist, then I would question her advice.

      Hi! Your history is interesting as I see parallels with my history. I too had migraines since childhood, but they run in my family so I didn’t think there could be any connection to the celiac. Also, the migraines have tapered off after menopause. I too have trouble walking in a straight line. And yet another similarity is I have been seeing both a dermatologist and an allergist for many years. The allergist has run many tests for my skin issues, but concluded I am not allergic to anything. I do occasionally get hives and am on daily medication to control the hives and other rashes or similar issues. At my last appt with allergist recently, I informed them of my new diagnosis of celiac disease. They said that it has nothing to do with my skin issues. They didn’t even put it in my chart. I know because I read the notes from the visit on the patient portal. However, your post has me second guessing my skin issues and possible connection to celiac disease.
