Nice Response From Nestle...

Dear Ms. Kramer,

Thank you for contacting Nestlé. We welcome questions and comments from our consumers.

For several years now Nestlé has been following a strict labeling policy with regard to any of the "Big Eight" allergens in our foods and incoming ingredients. We have insisted that our suppliers notify us if gluten is used in any of their ingredients and yet is not declared on their labeling. Thus, we believe that we have uncovered any potential uses of gluten containing ingredients.

Therefore, any Nestlé products will be fully labeled for any presence of gluten or gluten containing ingredients. We find that this message is much easier that our trying to maintain a positive list of products free of gluten containing ingredients.

We have also attached our gluten free Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, which we hope you will enjoy.

We appreciate your interest in our products and hope you'll visit our website often for latest information on Nestlé products and promotions.

Sincerely,

Mae Houston

Consumer Response Representative

Nestle has also started voluntarily labeling things like thier Cocoa and their Coffee creamers Gluten free. I never thought I would say this, but I'm really liking them as a company. (the hippy in me cringes)

YEP! My sons favorite food appears to be thier turkey peperoni. It is the only food in the 2 1/2 years he has been alive that he has not tired off. I am sure it bad for him, but man he gotta have some kind of treats! He been through a lot in his little life!

I love Hormel Pepperoni! I love it that more companies are starting to voluntarily label their products gluten-free... I also saw a bunch of Boars Head pre packaged deli meats and sausages and hot dogs that were all labeled gluten-free, I was STUNNED!

When I called Nestle, the woman I spoke to was very nice and seemed to know her stuff. I was asking about the pure, unsweetened cocoa powder. She said that they clearly mark the packages for the presense of gluten. She also said that they label for cross contamination, too.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk

      This hypothesis certainly lines up with my experience. Avoided getting Covid until August 2022. Celiac diagnosis three months later, and they think they caught it early (not a ton of damage in my EGD). I'd suspected the connection before, so it's nice to see researchers are interested in this question.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Fusilli Pizzeria, Miller Place, NY

      By akebog · Posted

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.
