Prosciutto Brands For Super Sensitive?

[Shell156]

Hi everyone! 

 

Does anyone know any brands (preferably readily available) to which they do not react? I am unfortunately very, very sensitive to trace amounts of gluten and its derivatives, including distilled liquors and "gluten removed" products.

 

Does anyone know of a certified gluten free brand?

My spouse does well with Boar's Head and Salumi. He is gluten and casein free.

 

He handled those sorts of products (aged, fermented meats) even better after he recognized and addressed a histamine intolerance.  Alison Vickery's website was helpful.

 

Apparently the DAO enzyme is produced on the tips of the villi.Celiac and other inflammatory conditions can cause you to be low in DOA.

Alcohol also causes the DAO to work less efficiently. (I don't understand why this is.)  So red wine, aged cheese (sheep milk cheese for him) and aged meats were an issue for awhile.  Now, he adds anti-histaminic elements to meals, or uses a Histame (a DAO supplement - be careful, not all are gluten free) or takes niacin and vitamin C if he overdoes it on histamine foods.  

 

I am not saying that trace gluten isn't a problem; I am saying that a histamine intolerance may be aggravating a trace gluten issue.  It took a long time, but he can now distinguish his histamine reactions from a gluten reaction.

 

Good luck sorting this out.  In general, most people with histamine intolerance feel better if they take an antihistamine. Vitamin C or Zyrtec.  That may be a way to approach ruling this out for you.   The Vickery website is definitely worth a look.

Boar's Head is very committed to gluten-free/CF but I am not sure about certification.  I do know that now all salamis, etc are casein free; they sometimes have milk products on the outside (I am thinking of artisanal charcuterie products.)
