It was me. For some reason, my antivirous software goes smack raving mad on the Sami's website and I can't navigate it. But I had no problem with your link. The forum members decided (and I concur) that that delicious bread isn't safe, and neither is the restaurant I went to. Thanks for posting.

Hi Marilyn

I too years ago ate Sami's millet & flax crackers but I stopped years ago..I didn't have a problem but way back then, I wasn't about to take chances... I've been gluten-free for almost ten years & have been only glutened twice......I plan on not being glutened again!!!

But I agree it tasted yummy... when I started the doc told me I could have spelt products & the first couple days I bought spelt buns & loved them, then I did my own research & find out its a NO.. Doctors are clueless....

You may certainly post helpful links. As long as you aren't posting your own site which is like posting a business advertisement.

For future reference, The date for the article link above on the test results of gluten content on Sami's Bakery (Florida) products is September 2011.

I really wish Tricia Thompson MS RD would start putting the date on all her newsletter blog posts at glutenfreedietician.com.

While looking at some of the newsletters listed, I noticed she had one "Starch in USDA Regulated Foods." She admits that the USDA is using a voluntary labeling standard currently for food starch, and that the single word "starch" in the ingredients list in the US, in a USDA regulated product, can be either corn starch or wheat starch. She thought FDA mandated it had to be corn starch. But FDA is not the final rule enforcer on this.

Surprise.

While I and anybody else who's had random illness reactions from undeclared contaminated starch, esp. modified food starch, probably feels vindicated, after being repeatedly told the stuff was safe and had to be safe, because of allergen labeling..... still. There is voluntary compliance. I notice many companies are now labeling. For example, I recently picked up some generic ibuprofen which said starch, derived fr corn, gluten free. Very nice.

Would have loved to have seen a date on that, and I appreciate the backtracking.

Remember each so called hypothesis, theory, and test starts with anecdotes.......

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.
