I can help you out on the gummy worms!!!!! Do you have a walmart near you? There Great Value brand is only 1.00 and it states gluten free on the gummi worms. Watch out for some gummi worms/gummi bears that are not gluten free. One that comes to mind that I found out that is not gluten free comes from the company Brachs? They have a huge bag at sams club that I wanted to buy, but they are not gluten free. So, I stick with walmarts brand :)

Hope I helped you out a little.

I love gummy worms too! I could live on those things! I buy Walmart's Great Value brand because it states Gluten-Free right on the package. As for fast food, lots of places have gluten free menu items. A lot of places will post those items on their websites, but you risk cross contamination. In my opinion, it's not worth the risk to eat fast food.

At Burger King, we get a plain hamburger patty, fries (may or not be safe, depending on where you go), apple fries and a side salad with no dressing.

At Taco Del Mar, we get a Baja Bowl or corn tortilla tacos. All of the meat is safe except for the pork. I believe the fish is breaded. We don't like fish so I never asked about it. The chips and salsa are safe too.

At Taco Time, we get crisp tacos with beef, beans, rice, chips and pico de gallo. I believe the other hot sauce is not safe, but that might be soy and not gluten.

I have yet to see Gummy Worms that are not safe, but some might be cross contaminated. Skittles and Starburst are safe too.

Not Taco Bell. You couldn't pay me to eat there. They put soy in everything. Taco Del Mar and Taco Time are (I think) local chains. I'm in the Pacific Northwest.

There are soy sauces that do not contain wheat, such as San J Tamari Soy Sauce, and another brand (la Choy? have to read the label). But most do contain wheat.

Some of us avoid or don't use much soy at all because of individual reactions, or how soy can depress thyroid function.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      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!
