The only thing I question is the McDonalds info....you might want to take that out.....

I'm no expert or anything....but I found that on a school website

You might want to add oats to the list, too. Even if your child can eat uncontaminated oats, wheat hides in most oatmeal product recipes.

First, thanks for posting this. It'll be great to have at my daughter's preschool Halloween party.

I saw TCBY on the list. I called TCBY over the summer, and they gave me the old "We can neither confirm nor deny the existence of gluten in our ice cream products" rigamarole.

I'd love to take my kids to TCBY, but I'm scared of this sort of statement from a company. Does anybody know if they're okay or not?

That's odd--Fritos aren't even mentioned (ingredients: corn, oil, salt), I could have sworn Lay's Staxx had wheat starch, and I remember reading on a thread here that TCBY does not guarantee that their frozen yogurt is gluten-free. :blink: (Wow, it would be nice if I'm wrong about the Staxx!)

Lay Staxx is gluten-free, and they state its on a dediceted gluten-free line. Favored chip at our house :)

NOTE: Their are plenty of storys of DARIY contimantion in them, so if you have DAIRY problems, skip them.

Personaly I recomed AGAINST this list completely. We have tell our son's teachers, he can ONLY have food from his bag. This reduces the stress and concerns on the teachers and they just let us know if they plan to do anything with food so we can work somthing out ahead of time.

We have a letter that we created and give to his teachers that says all that, and then we personally checked all thier art supplies/etc an provided them with gluten-free alternatives (gluten-free Playdough, etc).

If you do the foot work for the teachers, and make it easy on them,I believe you will find everything tends to go much better in most cases.

Do what you think best, but our son has only been glutened once since we started with this at his school, and it was just cause the teacher caught it seconds to late (toddlers can eat a cooke pretty darn fast when they know they should not!)

I have not done more then skim that list, but if you wish to use it I would HIGHLY suggest you check EVERYTHING on it, things change fast and these list have to be constantly checked. For exmaple 2 months ago Cocoa puffs was a great gluten-free treat, then with out ANY notice they changed the recipe and now it contains Wheat Starch. Stuff like that constantly happens. Which is yet another reason I would not give a list like that....

I downloaded that newbie starter kit that nini offered and Dairy Queen soft serve according to that, was gluten free. We always get the Ice cream cakes special ordered without cookie crumbs for birthdays and so far we have had no problems.

      The conversion factor for mg/dl and mmol/L is 18. So 5 = 90, 7 = 126, and so on. In the US, blood sugar regulations now are the same as what we use in the UK except for this difference in units. In terms of how they compare in the past, the numbers today that I quoted are stricter than they used to be. Blood sugar numbers for +1 and +2 hour postprandial are...

      @knitty kitty For me, the flushing lasts about 10 hours and not just 60-90 minutes after consuming the vitamins. I am 10-days into taking this already. My urine is neon colored around the clock and I drink between 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon of water per day. I'll stick with 2 a day for now, but am honestly quite hesitant to do so. I am curious, where...

      Oh, dear, the niacin flush! I've heard repeatedly that the worse the flush, the more your body needs the niacin. If you stick with it, the flushing will not be as bad in a few days. Another way to correct low Niacin level is to take 100 mg of Niacin (nicotinic acid, the flushing kind) every three hours for several days. I've done this myself, and...

      @HectorConvector, Step off the gas. I'm in the U. S. That was what I remember my doctor telling me thirty years ago. Things may have changed since then. If I've "misremembered," I apologize. I'm human. Things are different on the other side of the pond. Here we go by mg/dl. The smaller incremental changes are more noticeable using mg/dl....

      @knitty kitty Holy smokes, that Life Extension B-Complex is burning me up. My multi-vitamin already has 25mg of Niacin. The b-complex adds another 100mg on top of that. My face, neck, and ears look like the Cardinal I use for my profile pic. I have been on the b-complex for 10-days now and it seems to get a bit worse with each passing day. I think I...

      @knitty kitty For me, the flushing lasts about 10 hours and not just 60-90 minutes after consuming the vitamins.  I am 10-days into taking this already.  My urine is neon colored around the clock and I drink between 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon of water per day.  I'll stick with 2 a day for now, but am honestly quite hesitant to do so. I am curious, where are you reading "the worse the flush, the more your body needs the niacin"?  I have been searching for that, but haven't found that anywhere.

Hang tight, you'll be okay!

      @HectorConvector, Step off the gas. I'm in the U. S.  That was what I remember my doctor telling me thirty years ago.  Things may have changed since then.  If I've "misremembered," I apologize.  I'm human.  Things are different on the other side of the pond.  Here we go by mg/dl.  The smaller incremental changes are more noticeable using mg/dl.   Also, I adopted a Ketogenic diet.  Ketogenic diets don't spike blood glucose as much, and therefore return to fasting levels sooner.  My own experience is my postprandial blood glucose level returned to fasting levels an hour after the end of a meal on a Ketogenic diet.  I was asking if the thiamine you take is thiamine hydrochloride or Benfotiamine or Thiamine TTFD.  Thiamine Mononitrate is not well absorbed nor utilized by the body.  I learned that amounts larger than 100 mgs of thiamine hydrochloride needs to be taken in thiamine deficiency.   500mgs thiamine hydrochloride is recommended by the World Health Organization for several days and look for health improvement.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in higher amounts. When thiamine is taken in high doses, there's a big change in energy availability, especially in the brain, where pain is registered.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine results in an eighty percent increase in brain function.  Thiamine has analgesic properties.   I learned about high dose thiamine from Dr. Derek Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs through their website hormonesmatter.com.  I have taken high dose thiamine to correct my deficiency about fifteen years ago.  I could feel myself dying, I was so sick and in pain.  I was grasping at straws.  No harm, no foul, just to try it and see, right?  I tried it and that made all the difference.  High dose thiamine made astounding health improvements within a very short period of time for me.  I wonder if 500 mg of thiamine hydrochloride would have the same effect on you.

Have you noticed any side effects from that B-complex?  It is WAY over the daily recommended values: Thanks for your time, Known1

      Evidence from normoglycaemic studies shows that healthy people peak at ~1 hour, and they then return to baseline in 2–3 hours, not 1. CGM shows normal post-meal rises even in metabolically healthy subjects. Clinical tests use the 2-hour value to judge normal glucose clearance. Therefore the 1-hour-back-to-fasting claim contradicts both physiology and clinical diagnostic standards.
