I haven't been on the site too much recently so this may be old news, but I recently bought one of the Holiday coffee creamers that Coffeemate put out (I had the pumpkin spice). Right on the label in a section called "good to know" it says Gluten Free! What a stride in the right direction! I will certainly continue shopping with a company this willing to recognize our needs (and our buying power!). Drink up, coffee lovers :-)

Was it the liquid or the powder? I have a hot chocolate I made with the powder before going gluten free, haven't had any b/c I'd been told ot avoid non-dairy creamers.

:) I'm assuming it was the liquid.

Yup, it was the liquid - sold in the fridge section.. I'm not sure if they'll have that flavor around anymore though since the holidays are over :-(

I think that this is a great stride for companies to recognize their products as gluten free.

Many are doing this because we continue to call and e-mail companies for information on their products.

Continue on.

Thank you for posting this. :)

I had noticed this as well. I was wondering (along these same lines), the Nestle hot cocoa mix also says "gluten free" on the package. It lists "modified food starch" as an ingredient. Is this a contradiction, or is modified food starch sometimes okay?

It's not necessary to worry about modified food starch in most cases, especially products made in the US. Food starch can mean many things but in the US it typically is referring to cornstarch, sometimes tapioca. If this product flat out says "gluten free" I wouldn't worry about it unless I saw a contraction like "wheat starch" listed. The company is taking a big enough risk by listing that on their label to not be certain of that fact. Hope this helps!

Modified food starch is often ok. Amy is right, it is usually cornstarch. However, it can be made from wheat. Now, due to changes in food labeling, companies are required to list it if it is from wheat, because wheat is an 8 main allergen. It is not required to list corn, potato, tapioca, etc.

Modified food starch does NOT equal gluten/wheat, but it could be a source. Now with the labeling law, you will know if its wheat derived or not.

This is very helpful to know. I think I have been erring on the side of caution, but this is good news. The kids love creamed corn (from a can) and it lists modified food starch. So, it should say "wheat" as the source of the food starch, if it contains it - right?

Thank you - I will add this news to my shopping list guidelines.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?
