    If a product does not have a gluten free claim on the packaging, then I look it up and if the website says it’s safe then I will eat it,  if the company can tell you it’s safe it should be, but like I said before if other celiac peop...

    I wouldn't assume something is or isn't safe if it doesn't have a warning that it may contain wheat. If I am buying a highly processed food such as candy or an item that might be cross contaminated at the factory like seasoned peanuts...

    Blue-Sky reacted to Scott Adams in GLUTEN FREE CHALLENGE FOR BIOPSY   
    In general if you see "gluten-free" on a label in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc., it does mean that the food is safe for those with celiac disease, and it does NOT mean that there is 19ppm gluten in it, as some people might...

    The headaches are possibly related to gluten withdrawal. If so, you are three weeks out now and that should subside soon. In general, headaches/migraines are more common in the celiac population than in the general population. I personally...
