gluten-free Polenta


Breila

If Bob's Red Mill doesn't even have gluten-free polenta, who does? I know the issue is CC and not the actual ingredients of the polenta, but my DS doesn't have immediate GI reactions when he gets glutened, so I'm usually unaware of CC but try to avoid it at all possible.

I found a Polenta at Harris Teeter in the refrigerated section by the produce. You know, where the tofu and stuff like that is. It was down in the corner, but it said gluten free on it. I also found one at Whole Foods, I think it was on the gluten free aisle. But, I'm not totally sure about that. I know it was not refridgerated though, so really it could be anywhere.

I remembered after you posted that the tube polenta we use does indeed say gluten free on it. But it takes 2 tubes to make a meal for my family of five which can get kind of cost prohibitive. I'd like to find some dried if at all possible. Thanks for reminding me about the tube kind though.

Bob's Mill corn products are produced in their gluten plant and therefore carry the risk of cross contamination. I, like you, specifically went looking for the bob's mill brand figuring it would be safer and was surprised to NOT see their gluten-free logo on the bag.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
