    No problems. I went back and reread the original article and saw that there were many celiacs that continue to eat the crackers with no problems. I am not celiac, but gluten intolerant and choose to eat them now...although the dairy in them may cause me to cut them out of my diet yet. :-)

    Thank you so much for commenting on my post!! Yes, I think the original posts were from years ago. LOL I was just looking up anything I could find on these crackers. My intention in writing you was to agree with your comments because I felt the same way. The post was so old I couldn't respond directly to it. Anyway, thanks again! :)

    Hi!! I just wanted you to know that I read the posts about Blue Diamond Almond Nut Thins saying they are supportive of celiac disease at the same time they are producing their product in a facility that also processes wheat!! I didn't know this until I just ate half a box of the cheddar cheese crackers!!! I was so upset because I would have never eaten them had ...

    Gluten Free Rice Krispies are now available in the US. There are no plans by Kelloggs, at this point, to bring the product to the Canadian market.

    I just bought some Udi's bread at Save-On Foods in the Edmonton, AB area. I'm impressed...it's very good! I'm trying the lemon streusel muffins next. ;-) michelle

    I love Lara Bars, and like Glutino Breakfast bars...I actually do. I also prefer Mrs. Leepers corn pasta to Tinkyada rice pasta. The worst product I've ever tried was Enjoy Life Cranapple Crunch granola. It was worse than eating cardboard...more like hard clumps of hay with rock hard fruit mixed in. Blech!

    ARCHIVED Boston's

    Michi8 replied to Juliebove's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Boston's Gourmet Pizza are the US version of Boston Pizza which is a Canadian company. As I understand it, they are fairly new to the US. The first Boston Pizza was in Edmonton, Alberta...though the Boston Pizza chain stopped offering gluten free pizzas around here (I live just outside of Edmonton). Don't know about the franchises in the rest of Canada. ...

    Oh, it's a cutest DOG contest! That's not what it says in the subject line.

    Miralax is PEG-3350 (Polyethylene Glycol.) It is gluten free. We can't buy Miralax in Canada, so we get PEG-3350 from the compounding pharmacy. Michelle

    My understanding is that the body is not efficient at changing vitamin D2 to D3 (the type our bodies need), so D2 is not necessarily a good choice. Yes, skin exposure to the sun is important too. However, that's difficult for those of us further north, who have winters that last 6 months of the year. Supplementation is essential to counteract the lack...

    D3 is the kind to take. I take 2,000 IU a day, as well as 2,000 mg vitamin C and 1,000 mg of fish oil. Michelle

    The Specific Carbohydrate Diet was developed for treating IBD such as Chron's and Colitis. It may be worth checking out: Open Original Shared Link Michelle

    Vance's DariFree is a good substitute. My kids thought it was the closest in taste to milk of all the substitutes...especially good with cereal. This is the list of ingredients: Maltodextrin (from potatoes), Natural Flavors (no MSG), Crystalline Fructose, Calcium Carbonate, colored with Titanium Dioxide (an inert mineral), Carrageenan, Dicalcium Phosphate...

    I think many of them are. Especially during the many years it takes for proper diagnosis of autoimmune disease. I believe that is the category I've been lumped into, since I have no concrete lab results to explain my symptoms. Going on 7 years of trying to figure it out now. Michelle

    Oils, because of the way they are processed, do not contain the offending allergenic protein. In theory, one should be able to tolerate soy oil when they are allergic to soy, or peanut oil when they are allergic to peanut. The problem is with cross-contamination. You just can't ensure that the oil has not come into contact with the unprocessed proteins...

    If you had such bad decay in the last 6 months, I'm wondering if you're still unknowingly ingesting gluten? Does your toothpaste have flouride? If not, perhaps ensuring it does (Tom's of Maine does have flouridated toothpaste too) may help stave of decay. I'm not sure how to ensure you find the "right" dentist. I was able to request gluten free products...

    Yes, you can have both celiac and allergy. But even if it's "just" a severe allergy to wheat, and not celiac, you would need to eliminate it from your diet. The thing with an anaphylactic allergy, though, is that each time you're exposed to the allergen could end up being your last time...a closed airway can be deadly if not treated immediately. I would...

    That does sound like an allergic reaction...and a pretty bad one! I would be concerned about anaphylaxis if your throat is swelling. Have you seen an allergist? Has any doctor suggested you carry an epipen? I would also suspect allergy to meds with the reaction you list about your knee surgery. Itchiness after surgery meds isn't unusual (morphine can...

    Not all cases of asthma have ongoing symptoms of cough or wheezing. Those who are triggered by allergy or exercise will not show these signs until exposed to the triggers. It is entirely possible for allergy meds to keep an allergy at bay, including asthma symptoms, especially if they're taken on a regular basis. My own asthma is allergy induced. I will...

    Before buying into any detox diet, including Master Cleanse, consider doing a little research. You'll find a lot of information that speaks to how these cleanses are scams. "Detoxing" really doesn't do anything healthy for the body...eating a healthy, balanced diet is what a body really needs. Michelle

    I have KP, but have not been diagnosed celiac. The KP has be spreading since my daughter was born almost 7 years ago...now it's on my face, neck, shoulders, chest, arms and has been spreading down my back to my waist. According to doctors it's not caused by anything and is not harmful, because every test shows I'm "normal" (It's apparently not treatable either...

    You may want to try a sulfate-free shampoo to see if it helps. I use Mastey Traite cream shampoo, which is sulfate free, and has no wheat or gluten ingredients that I can see on the label (I have not called to confirm with the company about it's official gluten-free status). It has been very gentle on my scalp and hair, and doesn't aggravate my skin like...

    I'm lactose intolerant. Going gluten free improved my intolerance, but I have fallen off the wagon, and my lactose intolerance has become worse again. My whole family went dairy free for a good while, mainly to narrow down health issues with my ds. Through that challenge we found out that he is lactose intolerant, but not allergic/intolerant to casein...

    I don't know for sure. My obvious OAS symptoms are itchy mouth, throat, ears, and I know I will react in my eyes and on broken skin too if I have the allergen on my hands and touch my eyes or skin. I will also sometimes see GI tract reactions. However, the theory is that it shouldn't affect your gut, because the process of digestion will change the protein...

    I like the Kinnikinnick ones, which are easily available here...not sure about New York. BTW, how will they be handling the baking? Will her food be cooked separately? Or will everyone be using gluten free english muffins? Michelle
