    Hello, and welcome to our community.
    All of the symptoms you mentioned are consistent with celiac disease, although each can have other causes. I saw myself in a lot of what you said. I began seeing symptoms that I know now were...

    Hi, and welcome.
    If they do not have cracks, which would allow gluten to be trapped, wash them thoroughly and you will be fine.

    I have had my first dose. As I see it, the risks of an adverse reaction to any of the vaccines are single-digit out of millions of doses. COVID-19 kills in rates measured in the per-thousand. No brainer to me. GET VACCINATED!

    So, does it actually contain gluten, or is it just "not gluten-free?' "Not gluten-free" is often a response dictated by corporate legal departments to avoid making a claim that they aren't prepared to stand behind.

    "Best before" means what is says. After that date, the product may fade in flavour or other sensory matters. It certainly does not mean unsafe to eat. But use common sense. Dry goods like buckwheat or rice have a very long shelf life....

    @cyclinglady is correct here that if it doesn't include "wheat" as an allergen the modified food starch is made from corn, but I just want to point out that a survey was done years ago and there are only a handful of very large companies...

    That point has been debated here since 2006. The fries themselves do not contain wheat. A wheat derivative is used in the flavoring that is then added to the oil in which they are partially fried at the factory. There was no detectable...

    Exactly!  And if they are putting unlabeled wheat in coffee.......I hope it's  a very large fine from the FDA.  I would think the recall alone would make coffee drinkers not want the coffee ( even if they can have wheat).
