Breakfast Foods & ?

I feel stupid asking this but can I eat grits? I know oatmeal is out of the question right? I can start to feel a differnce already removing gluten and wheat from my diet. Soon I as can find foods I can eat w/o a problem teh hunger issue will go away and I will be a lot happier. LOL I will say I miss my bread proucts.

Also I saw on a site where CVS carries a list of gluten-free OC meds. I called our local on and they said they had no such list to check on line. I found one for rx meds. Still lookinf for a few I take but I know if I look hard enough I will find them. I can't find the one for the OC ones.

Oatmeal is controversial, but for practical purposes, out of the question. Grits should be fine. Just check for cross contamination and make sure they haven't added anything bad too them.

Can you post a link to the CVS list?

Have you tried Open Original Shared Link for bread? It's my favorite.

Apparently you can get oatmeal that is not cross contaminated...those should be okay to eat. Most of the brands out there are not safe though, because they've been processed along side wheat.

your suppose to be avle to call them or go to the counter and ask. Ok I miss read the below statement. Here is the number to call and they will give you the status

CVS Pharmacies

CVS maintains a gluten-free list of their over-the-counter products. You can call Customer Relations at 888-607-4287 for the gluten-free status of any particular product they carry. They will not send you the list (as of 10/26/06) because "the products change too often".

Except for the 10% of celiacs or so who react even to those uncontaminated oats. There is no specific test (other than trying them and hoping you display symptoms) to determine if a particular person with celiac is one of those 10% will develop villi atrophy from oats.
