Okay, I know that Kraft is supposed to be a trusted name as far as disclosing gluten containing ingredients but I always think it's best to hear from anyone whose gave it a shot. What's the verdict on Koolaide and Country Time Lemonade Mixes, They say Gluten free but what kind of experiences have people had with them?

I have used the lemonade and maybe the Koolaide.  I really don't see this company would lie about ingredients.  They could get in very BIG trouble.  I don't think it is at all likely that this is the type of product to be run on shared lines or accidentally CC'd by an ingredient.  

It probably has artificial flavors or colors that some people, Celiac and gluten eaters,  think bother them.

Great. My daughter doesn't have celiac disease and I think she'd love to have that to drink when she comes over on the weekends. Thanks.

These say gluten-free so why does it effect me? All these drink mixes make me itch and blister.

You could have an allergy to any of the ingredients in the product, or you might not be able to tolerate 20 ppm, (especially if you have DH) or your DH is reacting to a previous gluten exposure.  Read through the DH section for Coping ideas.  I do not have DH, but I have heard that it can take a long time for the antibodies to leave the skin and that the rash can flare up for no particular reason.  The members who live and breathe DH can tell you more in that section of the forum.  

Hang in there!

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
