The consumer affairs article is laughable. No really if you haven't read it, do so now.

It may surprise trendy eaters to learn that obesity is one of the most common side effects of a gluten-free diet.

My husband would love to put on weight. He can't do it.

Agreed! Call me suspicious (and I am), but that article smacks of someone with something to lose; like huge profits. It seems to have the fingerprints of the wheat industry all over it. :angry:

I thought it sounded like someone who spent 5 minutes on the internet reading about gluten-free and made themselves an expert. I've read everything I can get my hands on for the last 5 years and feel I'm no where near an expert.

The Todays THV one made me laugh and cry. The WORST written article I've ever seen in my life. Wow.

It seriously reads like something a 4th grader would be asked to correct on a grammar test. :ph34r:

And this is a news station.

Consumer Affairs is either ignorance or willful maliciousness. The fact is that huge portions of the populace have gluten issues. Half if not everyone...but I don't have to tell you guys that do I? B)

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!
