    I recently traveled to Spain and Portugal. I was with a tour group, they knew I needed to be gluten-free and made sure the kitchens preparing the group meals were aware. But just in case, I took Gliadin-X with me and took it for every evening meal - and most other meals. The one time I got glutened was from lunch early in the trip - had to be from cross-contamination...

    We just got back from Spain. I ate a lot of tortilla espanola and pimientos de padron! I also enjoyed patatas bravas (potatoes with a spicy paprika sauce) after confirming no gluten. And many, many ensalada mixtas! These salads can be a great lunch option - a huge mixed green salad with vegetables (carrot, tomato, asparagus and maybe corn), tuna and boiled...

    These look great! I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

    When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact...

    I have been OK with Costco rotisserie chicken. Not OK with rotisserie chicken from some other stores in my area like Fresh Market and Food Lion. I am very sensitive to cross-contamination.

    This was Domino's gluten-free pizza. I do not have problems with corn, rice, oats or dairy.

    I have ordered Domino’s pizza twice since diagnosis about 5 years ago. First time, I was OK. Second (and last) time, I was glutened badly. Never again! Cross-contamination is real - and I believe a serious problem with Domino’s.

    No problems (that I know of) to cellulose, but I have found that I have a "glutened" response to products containing inulin. Another thing to check for on labels!

    Sounds good!

    I got glutened at a McDonald's last summer (in the US), although I didn't eat any gluten-containing items. I had a cheeseburger minus bun with lettuce, tomato and onion, along with a strawberry-banana smoothie. Symptoms set in about 3 hours later (typical for me). Pretty sure it was due to cross-contact - I have no other food sensitivities. I did say "gluten...

    Cape Cod potato chips are gluten-free, according to the company. I've never had a problem with these.

    I don't react to corn in general. I think it was cross-contact in manufacturing that got me. But if I do find that I have problems with gluten-free grits, I will see corn elimination in my diet will solve the issues.

    Quaker corn grits are not certified gluten-free! These may, in fact, be contaminated by cross-contact in the manufacturing process. I have been following a strict gluten-free diet for about 3 years, with varying results depending on cross-contact issues. My celiac testing was inconclusive - and I wasn't willing to go back on gluten long enough for a full...

    I like Jovial brown rice pasta. I regularly use Jovial lasagna and tagliatelle noodles. Don't know why this wasn't on the list.
  15. ShariW
    I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

    I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll...

    A couple of months ago, we stopped at a McDonald's while on a road trip. I ordered a cheeseburger with no bun, just lettuce & tomato on the side. No fried, nothing else. A few hours later, I had symptoms of having been glutened. So, no more stops a McDonald's for me!!!

    Could the tomatoes used for the sauce have been contaminated? I got glutened by Trader's Joe's canned tomatoes once. There are no gluten ingredients in these tomatoes, but they are not processed in a gluten-free facility (I read the fine print on the can too late 😱). These do not claim to be "gluten-free." I like Jovial brand gluten-free pasta, made wi...
