Nice Response From Nestle...

Dear Ms. Kramer,

Thank you for contacting Nestlé. We welcome questions and comments from our consumers.

For several years now Nestlé has been following a strict labeling policy with regard to any of the "Big Eight" allergens in our foods and incoming ingredients. We have insisted that our suppliers notify us if gluten is used in any of their ingredients and yet is not declared on their labeling. Thus, we believe that we have uncovered any potential uses of gluten containing ingredients.

Therefore, any Nestlé products will be fully labeled for any presence of gluten or gluten containing ingredients. We find that this message is much easier that our trying to maintain a positive list of products free of gluten containing ingredients.

We have also attached our gluten free Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, which we hope you will enjoy.

We appreciate your interest in our products and hope you'll visit our website often for latest information on Nestlé products and promotions.

Sincerely,

Mae Houston

Consumer Response Representative

Nestle has also started voluntarily labeling things like thier Cocoa and their Coffee creamers Gluten free. I never thought I would say this, but I'm really liking them as a company. (the hippy in me cringes)

YEP! My sons favorite food appears to be thier turkey peperoni. It is the only food in the 2 1/2 years he has been alive that he has not tired off. I am sure it bad for him, but man he gotta have some kind of treats! He been through a lot in his little life!

I love Hormel Pepperoni! I love it that more companies are starting to voluntarily label their products gluten-free... I also saw a bunch of Boars Head pre packaged deli meats and sausages and hot dogs that were all labeled gluten-free, I was STUNNED!

When I called Nestle, the woman I spoke to was very nice and seemed to know her stuff. I was asking about the pure, unsweetened cocoa powder. She said that they clearly mark the packages for the presense of gluten. She also said that they label for cross contamination, too.

      Testing for celiac

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out). I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately. What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea? I...

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      One small study found that 50% of celiacs react to the dairy protein "casein" like they do to gluten. It is also common for celiacs to be lactose (the sugar in milk) intolerant, though that often disappears in time as the villi heal. About 10% of celiacs react to the oat protein "avenin" like they do gluten.
