I've used Minute Rice for years, but I just now noticed that they've started putting gluten free on the side of the box! When did that happen?!?!?! :) :) :)

It must be pretty recent, I just bought a box and mine doesn't say gluten-free.

Its on the side panel all the way down at the bottom in fancy print. Its under a picture of the box. I love it when companies put that on their packaging!

Wasn't Minute Rice previously owned by Kraft??? I thought it had been, but apparently it isn't now? Am I wrong?

I just love it too when companies include the fact that their product is gluten-free. When shopping at Wal-Mart there are many things that say gluten-free, I love that store. It is so reassuring to see it and to know that companies recognize the fact that they will gain customers immediately if they just put those two little words on their packaging. Barbara

It's all those phone calls we make. :) Many don't realize that it costs a company money every time they recieve an 800 call. The more we call to ask on products the more companies will start to do this. The best incentive IMHO for a company to start putting the info on the label is money so to all of us who make those pesky calls Thanks and keep it up!

      Rosacea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You may want to go to a dermatologist to see if it might instead be dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin version of celiac disease. Here are some articles on Rosacea and CD:

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning dosage, I found this: https://patient-info.co.uk/sodium-feredetate-190-mg-5ml-oral-solution-88092/summary-of-medicine-characteristics Age 6 – 24 months: 12.5 mg Age 2 – 5 years: 20–30 mg Age 6 – 11 years: 30 – 60 mg   But these dosages are in mg, not ml.

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. I’ve also just looked on the NICE website and it recommends a much lower dose for her age. She’s currently take 7.5 ml in total a day and the recommendation is 4ml and if not tolerated she should try alternate days. It may explain why she’s has such a loose bowel. I’m not concerned about the black poo, but more the frequency and consistency. It’s not fair on her. She has been saying she feels a little sick today so that may be a side effect… I never know with her as she had such bad tummy pains and issues before she was diagnosed. Her levels were at the highest possible and she was vomiting regularly so she often talks about sick.

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By trents · Posted

      It is "chelated" to improve absorption but not buffered from what I can tell. What she is taking is an appropriate pediatric iron supplement product. By the way, it is normal for iron supplementation to turn poo black. That is not a worry per se. But iron supplementation can cause an upset tummy. Iron can irritate the mucosal lining of the tummy and the gut. Is she complaining of pain or discomfort? The irritation is probably causing her to frequent toileting. Check with your physician about a buffered iron product for children. "Slow iron" products (you can get them over the counter) are buffered and help reduce irritation. Not sure if they are appropriate in dosage, however, for children and if you cut them you destroy the buffered coating. But I certainly would get her B12 levels checked if you haven't.
