I have been eating Grits made by quaker fruquently and thanks to this board realized they are really bad about cross contaminating, does anyone have an alternative, I am low in iron and they had a good source of nutrition plus I loved them! if anyone has any suggestions please let me know!

I ate a lot of grits when I started gluten-free diet 11 months ago. The brand I had was Quaker Quick Grits. I did not have a problem then and as matter of fact I had some this morning for the first time in a couple of months. Once again everything seems ok. I don't know if I'm not very sensitive but I definitely have celiac disease. I would say they were fine.

My daughter and I have been eating arrow head mills grits with no problems. They say gluten-free on the box. They are pretty good too!

I eat quaker grits and the wal-mart brand without any problems. I didn't realize there was a cross-contamination issue with Quaker.

I don't trust Quaker products in the US. They have stated on multuple occasions that there is a cross contamination risk with everything they make and that nothing is made on dedicated lines. Thats enough for me to steer clear. I buy arrowhead Mills, which I get at Whole Foods. Its not instant, but as a breakfast its not that hard to make.

What exactly are grits made from? I miss them - grew up with them in Florida.

Grits are made of corn.

Grits is basically ground up corn thats not small enough to be corn meal. I used to like the white grits, the ones served in restaurants, but I've discovered Arrowhead mills Yellow grits and I like it much better. The yellow ones use the whole corn kernel, so have more nutritional value too.

Rats - can't have corn. That is the reason I have been afraid to try (and I'm the only one in my current family that likes them).

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now.  Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.
