I can't find a lot of information about it. Is it safe? The only store near by is Aldi's. I was going to go there today and get some stuff. I would just like some input on if it's a trustworthy brand. I'm still going to read all the labels before I get anything anyways.

I haven’t had it but wouldn’t hesitate to eat it.  I know quite a few local Celiacs that get it

Um depends, they had a few issues with them over the years. I think it might be safe now but at one point they had malt from barley in some of their products and a few issues with contamination. I have not heard of anything this year though.

Some of their gluten-free Certified products use to have the voluntary statement "May contain Wheat"! That was a while ago though. I would use caution and read the labels.

Here is a response for why they pulled their cheesecake:

thanks so much for reaching out! At ALDI, we have an unwavering commitment to quality. As part of that commitment, we work closely with our suppliers to ensure that all ALDI exclusive brands meet or exceed the standards and quality of the national name brands, including our liveGfree line of products. All of our liveGfree products are certified by an approved organization that verifies the product’s levels of gluten are less than 10 parts per million. These organizations include the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), Gluten-Free Certification Program (GFCP) and Celiac Sprue Association (CSA). This particular product was certified by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization and while the amount of gluten in our liveGfree cheesecake was well below their requirements and FDA limits, it was made at a plant that also makes regular cheesecake. This is why we added the "may contain traces of wheat" statement on the packaging. However, we understand the confusion regarding this claim and have removed the product from our stores. Thanks again for contacting us,

      On the cusp of facing a new life of managing a life with Celiac Disease

      By MHavoc · Posted

      Thank you all for the reply posts.  Yes, the constipation has abated.  I am not sure whether its due to having changed to a gluten-free diet or not, but I do think that there is a reasonable correlation.  I know that I will get over this eventually, but I am finding it hard not to lament missing all of my favorite foods that contain gluten.  Certainly, my health comes first... I guess I never realized how many things contain some element of wheat.  My sister has been living with celiac disease for most of her life, so I have someone who will share her favorite recipes. The next step for me will be my appointment with a Gastroenterologist for the Celiac Team... I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!

      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?
