Gluten Free Building Materials

I learned here on somebody's post last week that pre-mixed plaster used in building construction has gluten in it. This explains so much of why I have so often gotten weak and sick at work, and the same with my business partner who also has celiac. It can't just be old age since we are otherwise perfectly fit.

It makes me suspect other building materials--like glues for vinyl flooring, wood patch and the like. Can anyone give me a heads up on this?

I am the boss so I can have what I want at the building site. I want it to be gluten free as much as possible for obvious reasons.

Fortunately the plaster is an easy thing to correct since I used to always mix the plaster myself. It dries faster and is harder than the pre-mixed sort. Now I know why. I suppose if I want to extend it I can put cornmeal in it like my Dad did to create texture on the walls.

Any insights here would be a great help!

The NIH has a household products database that can give you some information of the ingredients in a lot of products. My computer crashed a while ago so I don't have the link any longer but will see if I can find it later today.

Some of the most common items to find gluten ingredients are wall paper that is prepasted, wall paper paste, wood glue, white glue, drywall compound and sometimes the drywall itself.

help! I'v used excess wallpaper to line my kitchen cupboards and drawers. Could this be causing me problems? You seem to be so helpful to so many. Susan

If it is already done I would not worry about it, unless you put the glue side up. If it is making you feel anxious you could just cover it with vinyl shelf lining paper. If you didn't glue it down then if you feel better just replace it with plain paper or shelf liners. The main hazard is when applying the products or when sanding.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
