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,

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      Popcorn pain

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
