    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I'd say the SF Bay area and New York are the two places I've had the easiest time being gluten free.

    There was an article in I believe the NY Times? a couple months ago ( I can't find the link, but its somewhere on this board) where they tested out these so-called "good manufacturing practices" which do have an FDA standard in regard to allergens because some children had gotten allergic reactions to food that should never have had allergens in them. I no...

    Corn is heavily subsidized by the government here, which is why most of our products in the US are made from corn based syrups and starches.

    Mentos originate in the netherlands. It is much more likely to find wheat based glucose syrup in candies made in Europe and the UK than in the US. Mentos have never been gluten free, and the company does state that. I would not worry about random sources of glucose syrup with US based companies, but anything outside of the US I have suspicions of.

    This topic keeps popping up I also want to add, that I live on the west coast, and grew up in the Pacific. I am a total sushi snob. I do not eat "cheap" sushi, so all of my assumptions are made based on higher-end restaurants that are on a coast or an island. I totally agree with the above posts about the pre-made or cheaper stuff being much more risky....

    I get that with certain foods that I have oral allergies to. Burning tingling. I get it with Kiwis, mangos and cherries. Its a freaky feeling.

    Whiskey is made from rye. Vodka is usually made from Wheat. I have wheat allergy in addition to celiac and I have a reaction to grain alcohols made from wheat. The soy vodka's I haven't liked as much. The potato and corn ones are good, I haven't ponied up for the grape versions yet. Elonwy

    This can also be a form of Excema (spel?) I have a friend that gets this, and its a skin condition. Her knuckles and fingers split all the time. Elonwy

    It just feels wrong. I swear I start to feel bloated as the first bite slides down my throat, but its like taking a bite of something thats spoiled, I have an instantaneous, "that's not right" reaction, its not really a symptom so much as a general feeling of ick. Does that help? Its kind of hard to explain. Elonwy

    My GI reactions are immediate, then I get fog and joint pain for 3-5 days. It's funny, and kind of gross, but I can tell by my BM's now when the gluten is finally "gone". I will go to the bathroom and I know that my system is done dealing with it and I'll start feeling better the next day. I definitly have a varied reaction time based on how much I ingest...

    Here's my issue: From the CSA website: "WHEAT grass Leaves of WHEAT. There is no research available on the gluten content." From a Wheat grass website ( the only people claiming wheat grass has no gluten is people selling it) "Most wheat allergies are due to the gluten found in the wheatberry, but wheatgrass is cut before the plant forms a grain (berry...

    I wonder if they are using powdered wasabi and Reconstituting it, because i still have yet to find a supplier of Wasabi paste that adds anything that could be considered a risk. Even the food coloring in the fake stuff is artifical and lists the dye numbers. I'm not arguing against that everyone should always ask, I just haven't come across this yet. I ask...

    The thing with the sesame seeds is sometimes they use a seasoned sesame mix, and if it a dry shake-on type thing and its japanese its 90% of the time going to have wheat in it. Where are you finding that Wasabi is made with wheat? Perhaps you mean the imitation wasabi? There is alot of that, especially in the non-traditional restaurants and fast-foody sushi...

    I have pepto at home, at the office, and the savior of my life, Pepto chewable tablets in my purse. Helps with gluten attacks, heartburn - all my tummy troubles. I've been out and about a few times and been saved from having to call it off from being able to pop a couple of those puppies. When leisurely at home however, I make ginger tea ( also a good immune...

    I have not come across any pickled ginger that was made from anything besides rice vinegar. You're talking about Nori, which is the seaweed they use to make the rolls. It should be fine, unless its specially treated. The seaweed that is trouble is the kind they sprinkle on rice , its all chopped up with stuff added to it like sesame seeds and soy sauce...

    I have yet to find a wasabi with gluten, I even have wasabi in a tube at home, and its nothing but... wasabi. I also am curious about the wasabi- gluten comment. Miso soup by itself is gluten free, its when they get all fancy and add things to it like sauces, or at one restaurant I was at- noodles. Why would you put noodles in Miso? The whole point of miso...

    I had an appendectomy when I was 14, because of debilitating stomach cramps and fever. Nothing was found to be wrong with my appendix. No tonsil problems. Elonwy
