- Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages2Is tomato paste gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?
It’s understandable to feel anxious about staying gluten-free while traveling, but with some preparation, you can enjoy your trip safely. In Spain, gluten-free awareness is growing, and many restaurants (especially in tourist areas like Benidorm) label allergens—look for "sin gluten" (without gluten) or ask staff about "alérgenos." Stick to naturally glut...- celiac disease

is Kirkland Imported French Brie gluten free?
This is great info, so thanks for sharing it. I had no idea Costco provides this service, yet I've been a member for over two decades.

This is great info, so thanks for sharing it. I had no idea Costco provides this service, yet I've been a member for over two decades. In the United States, all food manufacturers, including any that ship foods for sale in the USA, are required to comply with the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) of 2004, which mandates clear labeling of major food allergens, including wheat, to protect consumers with allergies. Under this law, manufacturers must explicitly list wheat as an ingredient if it is present in the product, either in the ingredient statement or through a separate "Contains" statement (e.g., "Contains wheat"). This regulation helps individuals with celiac disease or wheat allergies avoid potentially harmful ingredients. FALCPA covers all packaged foods sold in the U.S., ensuring transparency and safety in food labeling while holding manufacturers accountable for accurate allergen disclosure. Failure to comply can result in regulatory action by the FDA, including product recalls or penalties. While the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) requires clear labeling of major food allergens like wheat, it does not include barley in its list of mandated allergens, despite barley containing gluten, which can be harmful to individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Since barley is not classified as a top allergen under FALCPA, manufacturers are not required to highlight it in allergen statements or use a "Contains" label, even though it poses risks similar to wheat for some consumers. Instead, barley may be listed under its common name (e.g., "barley malt" or "malt extract") in the ingredient list without additional emphasis. This regulatory gap means that individuals avoiding gluten must carefully scrutinize ingredient lists, as barley-derived ingredients can be less obvious than wheat. Advocacy groups continue to push for stricter gluten-related labeling, but currently, only wheat—not barley or rye—is subject to FALCPA’s allergen disclosure requirements. In general, this means that everyone with celiac disease should learn to read ingredient labels to be safe. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. -

After my 3 year old daughter's diagnosis, we all got tested. My 5 year old son also came back positive with number 12x the upper limit. We will confirm with another tTG and the other 2 tests in the panel. He has zero symptoms that I have noticed. Maybe occasionally vomiting. He does have asthma. He's kind of an a**hole sometimes but also he's 5. He has SO much energy. Like miles and miles of biking, running, gymnastics. Never stops. Eats great, normal growth. It was comparing my daughter to him that made me push to figure out what was wrong with her! Is it possible for a tTG test to just be totally wrong?
