Are Big Companies Starting To Label Gluten Free?

I stopped at the store on my way home today and grabbed some mayo (best foods brand-unilever) and some turkey for lunch meat-hormel natural choice and as I was reading the ingredients I noticed that on both of them at the very end of the ingredients list say "no gluten". Neither of these were in the gluten free area of the store, both everyday products that everyone purchases. I was so happy to see that :D

Yes there are some companies that are, and I also am glad to see it. I got some Heinz ketchup today and they have added it to their label too. Hormel also labels their gluten-free items and I am sure there are others. Sure does make it easier. Now if they would just stop putting soy in everything....

They are slowly doing so which is great. 2 simple words on a packaging can take out 98% of the guesswork, with that 2% thinking of cross contamination they don't disclose being a possibility. I believe it was General Mills recently that discovered (to no surprise to the people of this forum and other Celiac site forums) that if a product is labeled gluten-free or known to be gluten-free, you can basically get those people "for life". It's essentially free marketing to just add those 2 words to the label.

I called CHI-CHI'S yesterday to inquire about their SALSA, if it contained gluten. I was assured that none of their SALSA contained gluten. I inquired as to why the labels didn't reflect gluten-free and Michelle said, "It was just a timing issue till all the old labels were used up and the new labels will list their gluten-free products as gluten-free"...

I've noticed an increase in this as well. This is good!

To further encourage the companies, every time I see it clearly marked on a label I email the manufacturer to thank them for doing this. And when I find a company has bothered to put together a gluten free product listing on their website, I email or call them to express gratitude, and tell them how important a tool it is and how much it means to me as a customer to have this information available.

Never hurts to say thank you, hopefully others will jump on this gluten-customer-service bandwagon.

I bought some Hellman's Mayonaise and it said gluten free on it.

      Testing

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.

      Help with results

      By mariamccl · Posted

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!

      Did your symptoms improve after going on a gluten-free diet?
