Food Made Without Gluten Vs. Food Made In A Dedicated Gluten Free Facility?

Is it ok to eat a tortilla chip that is made without gluten but may or may have not been made in a gluten free facility?

If it was made in a facility that made foods with gluten, could the chips be ok to eat?

It might depend on your sensitivity. Mine says, No way.

I'd do it if they had a dedicated line.

You say, "could" they be safe? There are three ways they could be safe:

1 - No cross-contamination took place

2 - There was some cc, but it was less than say 5 ppm.

3 - There was a greater level of cross-contamination but it did not reach your own particular threshold.

This is why there is no blanket answer to questions such as this.

Do you allow any gluten into your home? If so, your home is a "shared facility." Do you ever eat out? The restaurant is a shared facility.

My previous comment was a bit terse--sorry.

But I really do believe that the issue of dedicated facilities is way overblown.

I wish that the public and doctors were more aware of this condition. They never check the simple things you say is wring with you and go North instead of south! Lol The plants that process these products need to understand mist of all.

Huh? I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but it does not seem to relate to the topic.

Ah, Peter, don't be so grumpy ;):):D

Translation: The public and doctors should be more aware of celiac; instead of checking the simple things they check for the extreme things and then say nothing is wrong with you. And the food manufacturers most of all need to understand the issues of cross-contamination. (With apologies to ann if I got it wrong :P )

My home is gluten free. Well, over holidays people had some beer. I don't think I could survive any other way. I don't trust restaurants. If I eat out it's always going to be a risk. That my only discernable reaction has come from nuts that should have not come into contact with anything glutinous, but weren't called gluten free, just makes me more concerned about cc.

If you need a gluten free home you may need dedicated facilities too. It all depends on your level of sensitivity. It varies a lot.

It is really easy for those who have a higher level to think that those of us with a lower level take things too far. I would probably be the same way myself.

The only way to find out seems to be trial and error.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
