I just heard today that we can't have High Frutose Corn Syrup. Is this right? I am prob. asking a dumb question but I just didn't know that until today. Can anyone help?

I haven't heard this. I drink WAY too much soda, and never have a problem with the high fructose corn syrup in it. I know for sure it isn't healthy, but other than that I think it's okay...?

That's wrong. HFCS is gluten-free, although it's not a bad thing for everybody to avoid when they can.

Well, that's good news. I'll have to let my friend know.....she said she notices when she eats things with it in it, she feels bad (throws up, etc etc). I told her I noticed I've been having headaches but didn't know why (since I watch EVERYTHING I eat but after she told me about that, I thought it might be that??). I have one more for you, what about hersheys kisses...those bother my stomach?

Although hfcs does not contain gluten, it causes me symptoms because I'm sensitive to corn. Perhaps your friend is, too? Hershey's Kisses are gluten-free, but contain milk products, so that may be upsetting your stomach.

High fructose corn syrup is really bad for you. If it gives you headaches and makes you feel bad you should avoid it. Actually all people should avoid it anyway. Food companies use it because is so cheap for them. Here's some info:

HFCS does not contain gluten, but some people react badly to it. It can be particularly problematic for people with blood sugar control issues.

Since y'all have been SOOO helpful...got another for you. I now react to Sulfites (such as, in wines, etc). Any idea why? I've never had a problem with them until about a year ago...I now turn very red, my face gets VERY hot...and it stays that way for a while...It's so strange???

It's just something that some people react to. You can develop a reaction to it at any time - like any other sensitivity. (BTW, I've heard that organic wines are better, sulfite wise. I don't drink wine, and am not sulfite sensitve, so don't know personally, just from friends who are sensitive.)

Thanks Tiffany! I'll have to try that. I'm not a big drinker (maybe a glass of wine a month) but I do occasionally like to have one but I get to embarrassed when I go out and turn SOO red. I would love to find something else....and I don't normally drink mixed drinks or of course not beer...(since we can't) so I'm pretty limited.

There are many sulfite free, organic wines.

But I have yet to find one that tastes good, not state side anyhow.

For the most part, they all taste like dirty socks :unsure:

Great! Thats not good!! I've got to find something....the only wine I've tasted was one that my uncle had that was VERY VERY old and didn't contain sulfites....it tasted like I had just eaten a grape. It was ok but def. a dessert wine...not a drinking wine. It only a little bit was ENOUGH! If anyone knows one to try, please let me know! I'm up for the challenge!! :blink:

Vida Organics (not domestic but Whole Foods carries it) makes some pretty do-able

wines - Malbec Rose is my favorite. Also, some of the Badger Mountain

wines are not bad.

Domestic wine makers add sulfites to wine so that the shelf life

is longer. So if you buy organic wine - older is not necessarily

better.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      By HAUS · Posted

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
