It was finding out that some brands of sour cream contain modified food starch that made me realize that I have to read EVERY SINGLE LABEL, EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!

Carbon-less copy paper. I really started feeling better after I found out about this one.

Can you elaborate on this please?

I am an account manager at a print distributor and I deal with NCR stocks all the time.

Thank you!

TROPICANA LEMONADE!!!!! WHAT OMG I am so glad that I did not buy that the other night. :blink:

Are there any other drinks that are not gluten-free?

Well, most carbonless copy paper is made from wheat. I read about it on the Braintalk board, googled it and found that it was true. I thought about trying to find out what the paper I use at work is made of, but felt too much of a twit to ask anyone. So I started a very strict policy of never touching my mouth or my food without washing my hands first. In fact I try not to touch my food at all! I came across this little fact round about last October. Started feeling much better, ooh round about last November. Coincidence? I don't know.

OMG! Are you serious? wait, what exactly is carbonless copy paper? The paper you put in copy machines ot the paper that imprints copies on multiple pieces of paper without carbon? This is freaking me out!

Oh My God!!! I am a sales rep and my customers sign on 4-ply carbon-less forms every day. I just called the form supplier and they are calling the printer, and trying to find out if there is gluten in these forms. I can't tell you how many times I have handled them and ripped them apart and then eaten a snack or lunch. I live in my car so I use hand sanitizer all the time, but I don't know if that works for gluten.

This is really scary.

Matilda- No, you didn't cause a panic. If anything, you just raised our awareness. I, for one, am very grateful. Thanks, Beverly

One thing that I didn't think would have gluten in it was my children's fruit snacks. I know that they are basically junk food anyway....I just didn't expect them to have gluten in them. And of course I keep on forgeting and then pop one in my mouth :blink:

WOW that's just amazing. Luckily I work with the printers so finding out shouldn't be too difficult - but it is going to be hard since I work in the industry and deal with various forms of NCR (carbonless paper) all the time. I guess I'll just have to be even MORE diligent about washing my hands, as I really have no way around not dealing with NCR stocks.

Thanks for your eye opener, I sure do appreciate it!

Nutrisse told me their hair colors are gluten-free and I use them regularly with no problems. Even had really bad psoriasis pre gluten-free days and now after being gluten-free for only 7 weeks that has almost cleared up. I think my rx shampoos had gluten in them so I switched to Neutrogena t-get and everything got better almost immediately.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
