They were also egg and dairy free. Good idea though!

I went off my birth control about 6 months before starting the gluten-free diet. Those months in between were awful. I had my period for 1 to 2 months straight with only about 1 week of non-period. I've read and loved Takin Charge Of Your Fertility, and wanted to be in control and aware of my body. The problem persisted so long I eventually gave in and went...

I've been gluten-free for almost a year now, and I'm extraordinarily careful about what I eat. I am also lactose intolerent and can't eat any corn products. There is a gluten-free restaurant and bakery that I went to today, and I bought some gluten-free snickerdoodles. Mmmmmmm. I asked about the corn content (there was none), however there was arrowroot in...

Wow, it sounds like you've been through a lot. I've been gluten free for about 4 months now. My dad has been gluten free for about 10 years, and only had an official diagnosis about a year ago. He never could find a doctor who believed him until he recently had his colonoscopy. His doctor decided to go ahead and do the biopsy test and it came out positive...

Thanks for the help, much appreciated. I've got a bunch of gluten free mixes I can't use now, but oh well. I'll give them to my dad. No more soda I guess!

I've been eating gluten free for about 4 months now, and have shown pretty major sensitivity. I got sick from the shampoo I was using because it contained wheat protein. (Of course I stopped using it) The last month or so, I've been having increasingly worse reactions from corn as well. My dad is a celiac, and can't eat fresh corn, although he can tolerate...

Taquitos were Deli-mex, the only ones I found without modified food starch. They instead have modified corn starch. I just realized that the chicken ones don't have caramel color, and the beef ones do, so that explains why the beef ones made me sick while the chicken ones didn't. I'll give the chicken ones another try, but maybe I should call the company...

Has anyone noticed a sensitivity to caramel color? I read that it may contain barley malt. I ate something the other day with caramel color, and had a yucky reaction. It could possibly be cross-contamination, but I'm not sure. Anyone else had this happen?

I've been gluten free (or trying) for about 6 weeks now. I've had a few setbacks, one on purpose, a couple accidental. The day before yesterday I ate some corn and beef taquitos (the frozen kind) at lunch. I checked the label, of course, and they looked to be fine. A few hours later, I was completely exhausted, irritable, and within 3 hours, the usual "D...
