Try Looking under the name "Mexican Wedding Cookies" they are very easy to make. I used to make them pre-gluten-free. You could just substitute a gluten-free flour and they should turn out great!!

That is actually not true. Lotions shampoos etc can still get into your mouth. Do you ever put on lotion and then go eat ? Lotion can get on your hands and under finger nails and then on into your mouth. It is an easy way to contaminate yourself. I know most people also open their mouths in the shower, a little of the water with shampoo gets into your mouth and contamination again. It's better to be safe than sorry.

-Jessica

No problem, hope you get to feeling better soon.

If you are eating turkey that was cooked with stuffing inside of the bird, you are asking for trouble.

-Jessica

My bet would go on the turkey that was cooked with the stuffing. CONTAMINATION!!!! Never eat turkey that is cooked with stuffing.

I was just wondering if anyone had eaten at Culver's? It is a burger type place. It has an allergen listing (which is great) however it lists wheat, which is in pretty much every thing because of the bun! ha I wish they would be more specific like "this is ok without the bun etc". Anyways, just curious if anybody had tried it out. I'm sure I could have a burger, but just wondering if anybody else had experiences from there....thanks!

IBS= I Be Stumped

This quote came from a doctor at the NIH Conference on Celiac Disease!!! I thought it was hillarious, just thought I would share.

I too was given that diagnosis for a while. It is just a cover for the doctors not knowing what in the heck is going on with your body.

-Jessica

I picked up some O'berto's today. The natural flavor is gluten-free and I was sooo glad to get some jerky!! I have been craving this stuff!!

Thanks

It is sold as like a popcorn topping. It is in a small shaker can like parmasean cheese. I know in the local super wal-mart it is in the velveeta cheese section and with the parmasean cheese. The can is a dark blue color. It is less than 2 dollars and is pretty good.

-Jessica

If there is one thing that I miss, it's beef jerky. Does anybody know if there is a gluten-free brand around? I know it is soo hard to find because most use soy sauces I know I have heard of a few, but I can't recall the names now.

I know I could make it, but that's alot of work and trouble!! haha I just want to go to the store and buy a bag. I'm SOOO Craving it!! HELP!!

Progresso makes a creamy portabella mushroom soup, and also a creamy chicken and wild rice soup (pick the chunks of chicken out). They are not condensed soups so you don't add the extra milk like in the campbels soups. They work really well though for those green bean caseroles and company potato recipes!! Always read labels to make sure you have the right soup, they list allergens in bold on the labels.

-Jessica

Actually when I had called about them, they told me that the pebbles WERE made on dedicated lines, both the cocoa pebbles and fruity pebbles.

I work in 2 pharmacies as a pharmacy technician. I would NEVER ask my pharmacist to do the footwork for me. They are WAY too busy and stressed to take time out of their day to sit on hold for 45 min with a drug company to find out ingredients.

It is sooo much easier for everyone involved if you find out the drug manufacturer and call them yourself. Then you aren't getting second hand information. You can also ask any questions you feel are necessary, and it's one less headache for a busy person who needs to do their job.

Just my 2 cents !

I know brach's makes a candy like those (who knows if those are brach's) however brach's isn't a safe brand because they refuse to let us know if they are gluten-free or not, they just pretty much say "don't eat our candy" GRRRR!!

If I were you I would just throw them away and substitue with something else. (Trade the kids for something safe)

Last time I checked Halls Sugar Free Varieties are gluten-free and also Altoids mints make a great cough drop. The peppermint helps stop coughs. Hope that helps you out, make sure you double check the halls though, it has been since last cold season since I checked it out.

Hold the Oats for Celiac Disease?

Some Patients May Not Tolerate Oats, Study Suggests

Oct. 18, 2004 -- The on-again, off-again relationship between people with celiac disease and oats may be off again.

For years, people with the chronic immune system disorder were told to avoid oats as well as wheat, rye, and barley.

The reason for the food ban: gluten, a form of protein found in some grains. Gluten may cause damage to the lining of the small intestine in celiac disease patients, leading to malnutrition and a host of other chronic medical conditions.

Oats fell back into favor when studies suggested they didn't cause the intestinal inflammation and symptoms seen in celiac disease after all. Now, the tide may be turning again.

Researchers in Norway studied nine adults with celiac disease who had eaten oats in the past. Four participants had symptoms of abdominal bloating or diarrhea. Three of those four patients had "intestinal inflammation typical of celiac disease at the time of oats exposure," write the researchers.

For instance, one participant was a 59-year-old woman who had had success with a standard gluten-free diet, the typical treatment for celiac disease. In 2000, she started eating oats and developed bloating, abdominal pain, and iron deficiency, as well as losing a little more than 4 pounds.

Tests of her small intestine showed inflammatory reactions seen only in patients with celiac disease. The woman stopped eating oats and her condition improved, say the researchers.

The researchers took great care to make sure the oats were not contaminated by other grains known to trigger celiac disease.

Tests of the small intestine in the other eight patients showed all had evidence of inflammatory reactions within the lining of the small intestine; however, not all of the participants had symptoms of intolerance to the diet.

The researchers say the results show some, but not all, celiac disease patients may not be able to tolerate oats.

Right now, the researchers aren't sure how often the problem occurs. More research is needed, they say.

The study appears in the October issue of the journal Public Library of Science.
