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!

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. :)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?
