Gluten Free Labeling

I'm confused. Some items such as orange jucie, bacon, ham/turkey sandwich meat, ketchup, non-darie coffee creamer can have the labeling of gluten free while other brands don't carrie the gluten free label, but yet there is no wheat or gluten in their ingrediants. Are they both safe? Is this just marketing? or Do I really need to spend the extra money and purchase the product with the gluten free labeling?

In the US, there are no laws about what can be labelled gluten-free. Some companies choose to label them gluten-free because they test them for gluten. Some label gluten-free because they have no gluten ingredients. Some don't label gluten-free but, you can see by the ingredients (like OJ) that they are gluten-free.

There do seem to be some companies that label "all natural" or "gluten free" as a way to charge more. An example of this: marshmallows. They ar all gluten-free. The ones labelled gluten-free cost more.

      Hello Dc91 and welcome to the forum! Could you first just add the lab ranges for us for your TTG IgA Antibodies as they vary?   Cristiana

      Sorry I should have said these bloods were taken Friday morning, a week after the first initial bloods. So I hadn’t starved myself of gluten before these bloods were taken.

      Celiac or not?

      By Dc91 · Posted

      Hi all, I’m new here and completely new to celiac.  last week I went to my doctors for acid reflux issues, she also took bloods and sent them off. Last Thursday I got my TTG IgA Antibodies test come back as >100u/ML which the doctor has referred me to the celiac team at my local hospital. I have stopped eating gluten since Friday morning. (I’m guessing this will take weeks or months to be seen)   earlier this evening I got a new result through for Endomysial IgA antibody = Weak positive.    I’m guessing this gives me the difinitive answer I’ve been looking for? A positive is a positive. any help would be greatly appreciated.
