HI ALL THIS IS AN EXCERPT FROM A LETTER I SENT TO SOMEBODY WHO GAVE ME gluten-free CERTIFIED SAMPLES.

READ ON..

OMG! i cant believe it i was reading the labels right, and guess what is in some of these products? wheat.. yes. here is how it is listed:

AND it is the 1st thing on the label list which means that there is the most of it in the product:

SPECIALLY FORMULATED WHEAT STARCH* THEN AT THE BOTTOM IT SAYS- CONTAINS LESS THAN 200 PPM (0.02%) GLUTEN, WHICH IS CERTIFIED AS SAFE FOR CELIACS ACCORDING TO THE EUROPEAN UNION CODEX STANDARD..

WOULD YOU GIVE THIS TO *****? NOT BEING MEAN. JUST A QUESTION.. THIS STUFF IS IMPORTED FROM NORWAY, DIST. BY A COMPANY IN IOWA..

SO WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK?? WOULD YOU? I DONT KNOW IF I WANT TO TRY IT OR NOT.. MY DAUGHTER IS A NON SYMPTOMATIC.. ADVICE PLEASE..

THANKS AGAIN ALL

LYNN

There is no way in this world I would eat that! Here in the US, they are pushing for a limit of 20 ppm on foods labeled gluten-free. Some think that is too much!

I wouldn't give it to anywone with Celiac. It just isn't worth it.

I wouldn't eat anything with wheat starch! A lot of people would get sick from that product.

I was wondering if there'd be any discussion about Toro on the board.

I went to a Gluten-Free and Allergy Expo last weekend, and I was encouraged to try some samples made with Toro flour. AFTER I ate a piece, I looked at the ingredients of the flours and was horrified to see "wheat starch" there.

I was really surprised that the Expo allowed the vendor to pass out samples without warning about the ingredients. I never would've tried it if I was warned...even if it is "certified" gluten-free.

BUT I don't think it made me sick. I already had a dh outbreak and it didn't get any worse since this weekend, and I didn't experience the usual day-after-contamination-trainwreck.

I've had it. It's delicious. I wouldn't make it my regular bread but I could see using it occasionally. 200 ppm is like 1/5 of one red marble mixed in with 1000 blue ones. You probably breathe in that much gluten walking by the bakery in the grocery.

The countries that are producing theses products are decades ahead of the US in celiac research.

Don't eat it if you don't want to. But, be sure to educate yourself about current research before you make your choices! :D

Considering I get neuro symptoms from walking past the bakery and near the flour aisle at the grocery store, I wouldn't touch that. Not a chance.

I did eat it and I didn't react as far as I can tell, but if I saw the ingredients before tasting the sample, I wouldn't have touched it. So maybe that's more of an emotional response rather than a rational one.

Does anybody know if these Toro products are widely used by the European Celiac community?

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
