The Cross-Contamination Myth-Buster!

The issue of cross-contamination keeps coming up in articles, conferences, blogs and every other venue in which celiacs discuss ways of living with our disease. For all the talk there has been precious little, if any, thoughtful analysis, so I felt it was time for one. Some will appreciate this analysis—others will not.

1) my child reacts to thresholds well below 20ppm.  So FDA guidelines, labeling and this analysis are pretty meaningless when it comes to managing exposure.

2) regarding manufacturing lines:. She got sick after eating macadamia nuts with sea salt.  Then i saw there was a little tiny D on the ingredient line, and I called the manufacturer to ask why they were listing dairy.  Their answer?  "We run everything on the same line, which includes the coated nuts, and don't really clean it very well."  So you cannot assume that the cleaning between lines actually gets rid of the level we need to manage.

For the typical analysis your article may make sense.  For the super sensitive, not really.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Hi there, I have a few questions about my daughter who is 2 and has been gluten-free for two weeks following her diagnosis please! She was originally diagnosed due to having faecal impaction and chronic constipation. Since starting the gluten-free diet, we are still on daily movicol but she is pooping a lot more than before. Could this finally be her naturally clearing out the backlog as her digestive system is actually starting to work again? Secondly the colour of her stools has recently been a bit pinkish. It does not look like blood, but I wondered if this is normal again for a colour shift post diet change? Finally, she has had a very large tummy due to the coeliac. How long does this take to go down? Thank you!

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      By gregoryC · Posted

      Everything I had was included in the cruise fare. The coffee at cafe al baico is not but,  ALL baked goods are! If you want a coffee, latte, or espresso the charge is $4 to $5. Not bad for some excellent coffee! The buffet and spa cafe has free coffee and drinks. Also large selection of the best ice cream, sorbet, and gelato at sea for free!  with Celebrity I don’t feel like I have a handicap.

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      I love that there's wheat all over the wall paper for the gluten-free section. It looks good. Was the café included in the free meals or was that extra?

      The best gluten-free pizza is on the Celebrity Summit, but the Celebrity Beyond Pizza still beats and land gluten-free pizza.
