Archer farms ham gluten free?

I am new to this gluten free thing.  We found out my son needs to be Gluten free.  We have an Archer Farms Brand from Target in the freezer.  I am wondering if it would be gluten free or not? I am thinking I may just need to leave out the glaze packet and make my own??  Can anyone help me with this?  I don't want to give it to my son if he'll have a reaction. 

 

Thanks in advance for the help.  I truly appreciate any help!! Like I said we are new to this whole thing!!

I have never found a plain ham with gluten.  But it will list the ingredients of the ham and glaze.  Read them and you will be fine.

Like Karen said, read the label (you have to learn how to do this anyway) even if it means googling every single word).  Soon, you will know all the words related to gluten (keep a list with you on your phone or wallet.)  In the beginning it is best to avoid most processed foods as a damaged tummy often has developed various and often temporary intolerances.  So, in my case, I would eat the ham but leave off the glaze.   The odds of gluten in the glaze are much higher.  Am I making sense?  

If a product has a long list of ingredients, I do not buy it anymore (even certified gluten-free junk food).    I guess having celiac disease has made our family choose healthier options.  

Learn to bake and freeze.  I have cupcakes and cookies in my freezer all the time.  Going to a party?  My family can still have cake!  We just bring our own.  Even gluten eaters gobble up my homemade baked goods.

i hope your son feels better soon!

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Did I outgrow celiac

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.
