Some Other Companies I Have Called This Week

Hunts tomato sauce-gluten free

Rosarita refried beans-couldn't guarantee the distilled vinegar

Tylenol-the arthrities extended release caplets are gluten free

Motrin-couldn't guarantee gluten free, said the don't ADD gluten but it hasn't been tested

Jimmy Dean-said the label would say it if it was in there, they dont hide in under spices

CORN MEAL-this was a nightmare. both Quaker AND Hodgson Mills told me they dont add gluten, but they dont have a gluten free facility and they dont test for gluten. Arrowhead Mills doesn't add gluten, doesn't have a gluten free facility, BUT they do have STRICT controls and they also periodically test the cornmeal for gluten. I went ahead and bought this brand. It was the CLOSEST I could get to gluten free cornmeal. I would not trust Hodgson Mills after talking to them.

Olay-couldn't say anything was gluten free at all

Lubriderm-hasn't been tested, couldn't guarantee gluten free at all

Garnier Fructis-wonder waves spray, curl shaping gel, mouse, all gluten free. they are calling me back on the wonder waves shampoo and conditioner as it's new and they didn't have a statement yet.

if I think of any more I've called, I'll post it.

Sounds like you're doing the homework! Keep up the good work. I looked up tylenol products a few days ago. I took an off brand at three in the morning for lower back pain and a head cold and woke up with a rash..... but the back pain and headache were gone..... so I'll have to stock up on the tylenol for my next middle of the night pain in the ....

Thanks for sharing your info about your calls. This really helps.

(p.s. in-case you didn't see my post about the Udi white sandwich bread, it's wonderful!)

Based on my reactions, Kinnickinnick's cornmeal seemed more gluten free than Arrowhead mills. I finally got my own mill to grind it myself. Then I found non corn grains in my corn!

Motrin was okay for me gluten-wise. But be careful not to take more than it says to. I was doctor-ordered to take 'extra' motrin for cramps and over the years it gave me intense heartburn and beyond. Just throwin' that out there. But as far as gluten-attacks, it was fine.

I wonder why Quaker Oats wouldn't want to guarantee a wheat free oat and target both consumers (the gluten free consumer and the gluten consumer). Just doesn't make since. :huh::huh:

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
