To my knowledge, most grits are gluten free, just watch out what you put on them. I use buttter(real) and salt and pepper and a grade my own Kraft cheddar cheese.

Look, sometimes on the ingredience of real better, then check the same for margerine. :blink::blink:

I guess the question is what's the risk factor of cross contamination with Quaker brand Grits? Is there a brand of grits which is made by a company who specializes in gluten-free grains?

well, I've also gotten Arrowhead Mills White Corn Grits before and they were just fine...

I honestly have never had any problem with Quaker Grits... I called the company to make sure they were safe and I was assured that they were. They told me they are made in a completely separate facility than the oatmeal products.

I agree....I too have never had a problem w/ Quaker grits...in fact I live off the instant ones b/c they are easy to pack when traveling, going to work, etc.

I also eat Quaker Quick Grits every morning, and I don't seem to be having trouble with them.

thanks, guys!

i had heard that Quaker wouldn't guarantee anything, but i didn't check it out with regard to grits. good to know they are ok.

what is the difference with stone ground? i'm curious. :)

Because of the processes used in plants handling multiple grains, you are always better off to choose a mfr who has a corn only facility. Dixie Lily is available in the south. Try Kroger if your local grocer does not carry it.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. That’s all really helpful. I think it must have been something she ate as the poo colour has settled now.    Starting to see improvements in her tummy, slowly but surely!

      I take all vitamins and supplements.  My cardiologist has me taking B12 5,000 once per weeks.  He gives me complete blood work every 6 months.  He's still building my D levels which is now in 60s.  He wants them in low 80s.  I take 5,000 IU's daily.  With this dosage I've gone from 42 to 65 over a period of about 5 years.  It builds very slowly.   As far as iron, I take a double dose of gentle iron with C on an empty stomach on alternate nights.  Yes, iron is a component for many of us with RLS, but mostly "brain iron" that in some people may require iron transfusions.

      The positive DGP-IGA indicates the possibility of celiac disease. It is typical for someone who does have celiac disease to have some antibody tests be negative and others positive. This is not unique to celiac disease diagnosis. It is why doctors typically run many tests when seeking diagnosis of a suspected disease.  The DGP-IgA test is considered to have high sensitivity and specificity. In general, the DGP-IgA test has been reported to have a sensitivity ranging from 75% to 95% and a specificity ranging from 90% to 100%. Overall, the DGP tests, including DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG, exhibit a sensitivity of approximately 85-95% and a specificity of about 95-98%. The above paragraph is taken from this article which gives an overview of the various tests that can be run for celiac disease and their reliability: What symptoms are you experiencing?

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, get serum antibody testing done for celiac disease. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
