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.

I like Applegate farms turey bacon. :)

Oscar Meyer is gluten-free

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 like Oscar Meyer Center Cut. Less fatty.

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!

terri Contributor

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. :)

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!
