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.

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
