Can I eat foods labelled not suitable for people with wheat allergy due to manufacturing methods

I wouldn't just because it says that it may be processed in a place where's there is wheat. I wouldn't trust it. It all depends on how you feel about it. You can ask your doctor if you have any questions about it though (: they should be able to help !

Hi, basically, if there is more than 20 parts per million (which are the guidelines given by Coeliac UK) you need to avoid it altogether. I had a similar query about fruit and nuts which were manufactured on a production line where wheat/gluten was used and I was told to ask the manufacturer what percentage of wheat/gluten would be present.  

I had some oven chips last week which did not have wheat on the list of ingredients (and it took several days to work out why I was being ill), but the company also manufacture oven chips which have wheat on the list of ingredients, so will therefore not be eating them again. 

If if there was a declaration in the bottom of the pack you used, saying it was unsuitable for wheat allergy suffers, I would definitely heed that warning and avoid eating the product.  

Personally,I cannot even eat codex wheat starch (which is wheat starch that has had the gluten removed from it), some Coeliacs are fine with it, some are not.  You may be like me and also sensitive to wheat in any form.

Have you joined Coeliac UK? They are very helpful and you get the first few months of membership free if you have been diagnosed with coeliac disease. I continued my membership as they are most informative and they have a Food and Drinks directory which gives a list of 'safe' foods, which is updated regularly on the web, you also get regular magazines sent through the post.

Some companies put on their labels that their products have been manufactured on equipment that also processes products containing gluten, just to cover themselves. You can ring the company to check. I rang one company in Australia that makes french onion soup mix that has that on their packet but they said they do wash the equipment between each product. So we tried it and it was ok. Cadbury also have it on their cakes of chocolates and many of them are ok. You do still need to check their ingredients list as some are not gluten free.   So it is up to you whether you want to risk it or not.

I wouldn't touch them - not worth it especially as your tummy already felt a bit bubbly.  I have learnt with my daughter not to risk anything which may have been in contact with wheat.  She is so sensitive to it.
