I've noticed that this forum is highly trafficked but when rarely do the other threads get attention.

I encourage the people who have a lot of experience with foods, products and shopping check that forum even if you don't have questions. I think there are a lot of answers out there that are not being shared :(

(I still want to know about my kraft dressing!!)

I would not consider myself a veteran...but I usually just check the new posts. As to Kraft dressings, I don't know your question, but Kraft will list all gluten clearly. I encourage you to read old posts and do searches on this forum as well when you have common questions. In addition, the best place to get information on products is directly from the manufacturer. :)

Kraft will clearly list all gluten ingredients on the label.

You will get conflicting answers even from us veterans, so you need to also do your own research.

Yeah the reason I posted it here is because I was looking for someone who had tried it. I suffer from severe anxiety and it's hard for me to trust telephone operators. I would rather know if someone uses the dressing with no problem, or if they have used it and gotten a reaction.

That's what I use this place for. I have called the companies, and I just want to know what others have had experience with.

Ali, some of us veterans are not much help because like me they have moved on from salad dressing. I never buy it anymore. I use olive oil, heinz apple cider vinegar, honey & then add in a seasoning any of the following: minced garlic, minced ginger, fresh herbs, dried herbs, mustard, salsa, basil pesto (which I make from my plants & freeze) or anything else I have at the moment or think of...

I do not consume corn syrup & try to stay away from all the additives, artificial flavors & colors in that stuff... Plus I am dairy free & I do not tolerate canola oil & I try not to eat too much soy...

I am not particularly sensitive, but I make my own dressing, too--because it tastes SO much better!

To quote Rachael Ray: "Why put bottled dressing with all its chemicals and additives on fresh greens?"

I don't even get the "pre-washed" lettuce in a bag anymore--it just doesn't taste good. I spend an extra 5 minutes washing it, spinning it dry, and tearing it, and it's well worth the time and trouble.

Anyway, welcome, Ali, and keep asking questions! Pretty soon, you'll be one of the veterans (if you aren't already)!

I am finding that I am very sensitive to CC and so far have had no problems with Kraft dressings. Since they do list all gluten not just wheat you still need to check the ingrediants for gluten but so far they can be trusted. Kraft has a lot of products that you can find on their web site. Unilever is also one that lists all gluten as well and their web site also has a company list.

...And many of us "veterans" do not have an obvious reaction to accidental glutening, so we can't help by telling newbies which products we react to. I also don't particularly like talking to impersonal compny operators on the phone, but I've found many of the big company websites (Kraft being one of them) to be very helpful. :)

I answered your question yesterday about your dressing.

Knowing how to read labels will decrease your anxiety about trying foods.

Asking if they are safe vs. if someone has tried them are two separate things. If someone has tried them, it might have been a year ago, and it was/wasn't safe then....and it could have changed now. Your best bet will be to make an educated decision based on food label reading.

Someone else might not have posted because the responses you received (two about the dressing, one about the toothpaste) were accurate, and they may have felt that it answered the question.

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.

      Greetings Trents and Scott. This is the first time I'm posting here so I apologize in advance if I'm not replying properly. My 13 YO was diagnosed at age 5 and once gluten was removed from his diet, he grew 3" in a year, skin became much better and dark circles around his eyes disappeared. Today his numbers were very high and our new dietician discovered his face cream (Clinique dramatically different lotion) contained gluten. My fault for not checking.    His acne really has only just started and he's using OCT gluten-free products but the SHIELD is nothing short of miraculous for my 16 YO son and the 13 YO is eager to start. I will await his dietician's reply or google each ingredient.    I don't want to put him on that Rx as it's not that bad and isn't painful either. Just a boy starting 8th grade and doesn't want bad acne.    When I hear back I will circle back.
