All Bestlife Products Are Gluten Free

I live in a small town and our local Walmart sadly stopped carrying Earth Balance, the only other supermarket that has is it is a small Kroger and it cost almost $5 per tub, so I won't buy it at that price.

I noticed some dairy free Bestlife sticks and spread in Walmart the last time I was in and emailed the company to see if they were also gluten free, here's their response:

"Thank you for taking the time to contact us here at the Bestlife. We always appreciate hearing from consumers who care enough to reach out to us with their comments or questions.

We are happy to report that all of our products are Gluten-Free.

Thank you for supporting Bestlife

They don't put it on the packaging because once the FDA gets around to passing a gluten law it will be misbranding, like putting "fat free" on something that is naturally fat-free.

Out of curiosity, why would you have expected gluten in the Bestlife sticks? I would have read the label and been completely comfortable that it was gluten-free.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      That’s good to know. Might be time to head back to my gastrointestinal doctor then.

      Yeah, you may not have been consuming enough gluten to result in valid testing.

      Thank you for your reply. I was having about 2 slices of bread a day and other incidental gluten (occasional crackers and baked goods) so not reduced from my normal but not the 6 slices of bread like I’ve now seen suggested somewhere.

      Asking for Help Understanding Endoscopy/Biopsy Lab Results

      By Sking · Posted

      I just received my lab results from the endoscopy/biopsies to see if I have Celiac. My doctor's office said it could take up to two weeks for the doctor to read the results and contact me to interpret them. I am wondering if anyone can help me to understand my results? On one hand, it seems like maybe I don't have it, but have something called Brunner Glands Hyperplasia, on the other hand it says I have increased lymphocytes and villous distortion. I am very confused. How will the doctor decide if I do or don't have it? I am so confused about all of this from the start of the journey a year ago, I really appreciate people's time on here reading this and helping me understand. Thank you.   Anatomic Pathology Report Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval Diagnosis synopsis: 01 Part 1-Gastric ,Upper GI Polyp(s), Excision, Stomach: PARIETAL CELL HYPERPLASIA IDENTIFIED.

Comment: 01 Part 1- Part 2- Part 3- Villous distortion could be due to Brunner glands hyperplasia and not truly associated with celiac disease. Please see the diagnosis of Jar 2.

Part 2-Duodenal mucosa shows preserved villous architecture and normal cellularity of the lamina propria. Brunner glands are identified. No gastric metaplasia is seen. No dysplasia or malignancy is identified. There are no viral inclusions. No Giardia, other parasites or other pathogenic organisms are seen. No Helicobacter pylori organisms are identified. Part 3-Increased numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes are noted (>6 lymphocytes/20 enterocytes at villous tips). Duodenal mucosa also shows villous distortion and slightly increased cellularity of the lamina propria. Brunner glands are hyperplastic. Gross description: 01 Part 1-The specimen is received in formalin labeled "KING, SHOSHANNA, Gastric Polyp ".
