Rice ?

I live in Turkey and there aren't any brand of rice packaged in a dedicated factory . (I recently found a brand and it has a crossed grain symbol but still not sure ) Our celiac association doesn't say anything about this topic but only avoid buying from bulk.  I guess soaking the rice well should be ok ?? ( By the way, I'm talking about basmati rice)

The cross grain symbol for what I recall is the european gluten free symbol if it is the one I am thinking about.

Things to do, get your rice, get a paper towel, and dump it out and look through it, remove any kind of foreign objects, other grains (you should not see any just a example if you see wheat throw it out) rocks, grass etc. Then using a bowl with light lip, or buy a grain colander/new wire sifter, rinse your rice under water, several times until water runs clear.  Most cooks, and people from Asian countries follow this procedure for cleaning your rice. After rinse several times and using your hands to sort of scrub them among each other cleaning them, repeat until water is clean and then set for a while before proceeding to dump into your rice cooker/pot etc and cook normally. I will post a video to make it super simple.

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).

      @Wheatwacked, Are you aware of the interaction of potassium iodide and losartan ?   https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/iodine-potassium-iodide-with-losartan-1368-0-1489-0.html#:~:text=Talk to your doctor before,to safely use both medications.

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
