Searching For Safe Dried Fruit And Nuts

I am recently diagnosed with Celiac disease. I've been clearing out my pantry and have had trouble finding a few safe items. I love dried fruit and nuts but they always seem to be cross contaminated. I used to buy them in the bulk bins for from natural food stores. I haven't found any safe ones yet. Whole foods prepackages list wheat containing facilities. Can they be found in stores or must they be ordered online? Looking for raisins, dried cranberries, dried pineapple, nuts and seeds. Any help?

Mariani Nut Company is safe--I have spoken to them on the phone. Here in Jersey, they are available at a few of the regular grocery stores in the produce section.

I have eaten dried mangos and nuts from nuts dot com. They have a great gluten free variety.

Yup. Nuts.com is where I get mine. Also nut butters. They have lots of gluten-free stuff; candies, baking goods, jelly beans & so on.

      symptoms.

      @Rebeccaj, When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air. Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract. If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies...

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."
