Food Made Without Gluten Vs. Food Made In A Dedicated Gluten Free Facility?

Is it ok to eat a tortilla chip that is made without gluten but may or may have not been made in a gluten free facility?

If it was made in a facility that made foods with gluten, could the chips be ok to eat?

It might depend on your sensitivity. Mine says, No way.

I'd do it if they had a dedicated line.

You say, "could" they be safe? There are three ways they could be safe:

1 - No cross-contamination took place

2 - There was some cc, but it was less than say 5 ppm.

3 - There was a greater level of cross-contamination but it did not reach your own particular threshold.

This is why there is no blanket answer to questions such as this.

Do you allow any gluten into your home? If so, your home is a "shared facility." Do you ever eat out? The restaurant is a shared facility.

My previous comment was a bit terse--sorry.

But I really do believe that the issue of dedicated facilities is way overblown.

I wish that the public and doctors were more aware of this condition. They never check the simple things you say is wring with you and go North instead of south! Lol The plants that process these products need to understand mist of all.

Huh? I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but it does not seem to relate to the topic.

Ah, Peter, don't be so grumpy ;):):D

Translation: The public and doctors should be more aware of celiac; instead of checking the simple things they check for the extreme things and then say nothing is wrong with you. And the food manufacturers most of all need to understand the issues of cross-contamination. (With apologies to ann if I got it wrong :P )

My home is gluten free. Well, over holidays people had some beer. I don't think I could survive any other way. I don't trust restaurants. If I eat out it's always going to be a risk. That my only discernable reaction has come from nuts that should have not come into contact with anything glutinous, but weren't called gluten free, just makes me more concerned about cc.

If you need a gluten free home you may need dedicated facilities too. It all depends on your level of sensitivity. It varies a lot.

It is really easy for those who have a higher level to think that those of us with a lower level take things too far. I would probably be the same way myself.

The only way to find out seems to be trial and error.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      By PixieSticks · Posted

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It is gluten and dairy free also.

      Feeling ill

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
