Do I have to worry about anything like this around the house? scented candles, oils, incense? Incense sticks especially worry me but they turn to ash so...and our family loves Yankee candle. I don't seem to be allergic to the smells or anything I don't have issue with that i'm simply talking GLUTEN in these things. Thanks.

If you are wondering, you may want to put them away for a while and then bring them back out. An air tight bin perhaps could contain their smells. As for me I stay away from the candle aisle at stores. I however, do tolerate essential oils. I do not tolerate perfume oils. I hope this will help and that you can enjoy your pretty smells.

Eh, i'm pretty much allergic to all things smelly (chemical wise so candles would be in this) so i avoid them at all costs.

I hope not! I use candles and incense from time to time. But I'm not healing very well either. Never thought that could be a concern.

If you react to them, don't use them. But there is no evidence that I have ever seen that vapor (the gaseous state of matter) can ever contain gluten. The molecules are too large and heavy to vaporize at temperatures that we can survive.

Gluten in charcoal briquettes is a concern, since smoke is particulate (solid) matter. That said, if you see "smoke" in an ingredient list, it is from burning wood, not wheat.

Thank you for your replies. no i'm not having any reactions but I was just curious as we have them. Don't seem to bother me. Was curious if these things would contain gluten though.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.
