Celiac.com 09/28/2021 - We get a lot of questions about which products and brands are gluten-free. We especially get a lot of questions about sausages. So, we've put together a list of top brands of gluten-free sausages. The list includes smoked sausages, dinner sausages, and breakfast sausages.

Many of these products are tested for gluten cross-contamination and labeled as gluten-free. Others certify products gluten-free, which means they test far lower than the minimum FDA gluten-free standard of fewer than 20 parts per million of gluten. Remember that sausages made without gluten ingredients may be made in a facility that processes gluten grains or shares equipment. As always, read labels, avoid gluten ingredients, and choose carefully.

Sausage brands that are gluten-free, or made without gluten ingredients include:

Are Aldi Breakfast Best Original Brown and Serve sausage links gluten-free?
I’ve checked the package and did not see anything that has gluten in it to my knowledge. I’m pretty new at this, so I do need some help. My husband was diagnosed as Celiac about a month ago. Your help is appreciated. Thank you, Tracy

Welcome to the forum, Traci!

I would suggest contacting the company that makes them and ask that question. They may ask you for UPC number and lot number on the package.

A question like this has several facets:

1. Has gluten been purposely included in the product formulation? In this case it apparently has not as there is no mention of gluten, wheat, barley or rye in the ingredient list or in the allergen list.

2. Have small amounts of gluten inadvertently found there way into the product unintentionally through being processed on the same equipment as thing containing wheat, barley and rye. A likely possible example in this case would be the grinding of the spices used in the sausage. We call this CC for cross contamination. And the amount of CC will likely vary from batch to batch since they are not trying to exclude gluten and they are not testing for it.

3. How sensitive is your husband to minor amounts of gluten? It may take time to get a feel for this.

Which Turkey Brands are Gluten-Free?
Celiac.com 11/18/2020 - We get more than a few questions about holiday turkeys. One question we get a lot this time of year is: Which turkey brands are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The good news is that, except for gluten added after processing, turkey meat is naturally gluten-free, including turkey fed with wheat or gluten-containing grains.
However, as with so many foods that start out gluten-free, the deeper answer lies in the extras. Unless you add wheat or gluten ingredients afterward, most turkeys and turkey meat is gluten-free. However, many of the commercial turkeys include seasoning packets or gravy packets that may contain wheat or gluten.
These brands of whole turkeys and turkey products are labeled "Gluten Free."

  Implications of glutening after repairing villi
  
  It will not undo all of the healing. If it did, diagnosis of celiac disease would be much easier! To have enough damage to see on an endoscopy requires several weeks of gluten ingestion.

  Implications of glutening after repairing villi
  
  HI, I am new to this and am still in 'repair' mode, which I know will take time. But I'm wondering if anyone knows what happens if you ingest gluten after you have made a lot of progress in repairing your villi. Does anyone know if you just have a short-term issue? Or does an accidental ingestion of gluten derail all the work you've done and set you back...

  There aren't good studies that have been done on celiac disease remission, and I'm going from a distant memory of an older post here, but the longest remission that Dr. Stefano Guandalini from the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center has witnessed was ~10 years, then the symptoms of celiac disease and the damage came back.
