    Is it possible you are sensitive to other ingredients in RX Bars?

    According to the RX Bar web site:

    ”The ingredients we use in our products are inherently gluten-free. Products labeled gluten free have met the FDA requirement that no more than 20 parts per million of gluten is present.

    They are made in a facility that also produces wheat containing products. We take quality control very seriously and strive to remove allergens from the line to avoid cross contamination. We clean our equipment using validated sanitation methods between productions runs. If an allergen is present, it will be listed as part of the 'contains' statement on the food label.

    Those who have gluten allergies or strong reactions to any presence to gluten should always consult a health professional before consuming our products. ”

    There is a difference for people with celiac. "Gluten Free" is the FDA term and the writer is correct that 20 parts per million of gluten could be present. So see Gluten Free does not mean there is no gluten.

    Kind have triggered our child diagnosed with celiac and now our scent detection dog in training marks (flags with gluten) Kind almost 100%.

    It would be great to update this list with two sections adding to this list bars that are truly celiac safe with zero parts gluten.

    The problem with declaring something to have "zero parts gluten" is that we do not have detection technology capable of detecting gluten concentrations below a certain level. I think maybe 5 ppm may be the practical limit.

    In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does NOT mean that there is 19ppm gluten in it, as some people might lead you to believe.

    Whenever a company detects gluten in the 5-19ppm (most tests can't accurately go below this level) in foods which they have labelled gluten-free, especially a USA-based company (lawsuits in the USA are far more common and easier to win in such cases), they will immediately seek to find and eliminate the source of the gluten contamination.

    There is a very common myth or misconception that companies don't care at all if their products test between 5-19ppm, but they definitely do because a product recall could be just around the corner should they hit the 20ppm or higher level. Many people, including myself, now have home test kits like Nima, and companies are definitely aware of this.

    Top Brands of Gluten-Free Peanut Butter
    Celiac.com 10/13/2020 - Peanuts are naturally gluten-free, and so are most peanut butter brands, unless they've got added gluten ingredients. However, many brands do not label their peanut butter as gluten-free, and many unlabeled peanut butters may be made on equipment that processes wheat, rye or barley. That's not necessarily a big deal, but some people like to play it safe. 
    These brands go the extra mile to make sure their peanut butters are labeled "Gluten-Free." That means that you can breath extra easy about serving them to people with celiac disease.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could c...

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
