    I believe the name of this brand was Los Hermanos.

    Just wanted to mention that a few weeks ago I got glutened due to a 2 lb. bag of "Corn Tortillas" which contained wheat flour. I'd been buying 100% corn tortillas, by various companies, with no problems before. This particular brand, from a local company, was labeled "Corn Tortillas", and I neglected this one time to read the ingredients - lo and behold...

    Gluten free beer isn't exactly flying off the shelves of stores. I went to my local beverage distributor last week and the best I could do was a six pack of Redbridge that had the date code 10263 on the label - which I believe means that it was made on the 263rd day of 2010, which was Sept. 20. This is well past it's shelf life of 110 days, and it's taste...

    While I'm not in any hurry to eat hydrolyzed wheat, at least now I can feel better about using hair grooming products that contain it. I started a thread about it 2009, after buying a tube of American Crew men's hair styling cream without first checking the ingredients:

    While I'm not in a hurry to eat the hydrolyzed wheat protein, now at least I can use grooming products that contain it

    without worrying about accidental ingestion.

    I even posted a topic about it in 2009:

    Thank you for the information, I live in New York and thought that the CC package information was mandatory. It would be better if the corn tortillas I've been buying said gluten free on the package, but since my gut feels fine, I am not going to pay extra for Mission, or any other, corn tortillas just because they have that designation - unless I had problems...

    I am very, very serious about avoiding cross contamination, I eat out maybe two or three times a year in certain gluten-free restaurants. I've had no problems at home with any corn tortillas that I've tried which are not marked gluten free, since the brands I get don't seem to even make tortillas with wheat flour - only corn. If there is a possibility of...

    I stopped eating corn products shortly after going gluten free, about 5 1/2 years ago, but began to reintroduce Corn Chex, tortillas, and other products to my diet starting about six months ago, with no bad reactions. I think that it took about five years to heal sufficiently from the damage done by gluten. I still don't use cow's milk at all, because...

    I have been enjoying corn tortillas for a few months now, they're a great alternative to expensive rice or tapioca-based gluten-free bread. They're usesful as wraps, with many other types of food including hummos and of course, salsa. I get two lbs. of corn tortillas for $1.25 in the Mexican grocery store, and one brand is 35 ounces, for the same price...

    The word is out - Chelsea's gluten-free vegan weddding cake was made by La Tulipe Desserts, Mt. Kisco, Westchester County, NY. No photos of the cake published yet.

    We can read all we want into this, but the only information that has been put forth is that Chelsea Clinton has a "gluten allergy", and is vegan. I suspect that she has been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Publicly, she can be better understood by calling it an allergy and saying that she can't eat gluten.
  12. ENF
    Yes, Jackay, she could be a very important link in the direction of possible treatments, alternative dietary needs, and awareness regarding Celaic.
  13. ENF
    Chances are, if Chelsea Clinton has been gluten-free for any length of time, she's already had gluten-free cakes at her birthday and graduation parties, and she knows where to get the goods. Since we do not know how long it's been since her diagnosis, she may have been eating gluten free food when they lived in the White House, or possibly before that. ...

    On July 31st, 2010, former president Bill Clinton's daughter Chelsea will be married in Rhinebeck, New York. According to the reports, she has a gluten "allergy", therefore there will be gluten free food for her at the wedding party. Well, I'd like to have a taste of the gluten-free cake, I'd guess that it's going to be the best gluten free cake in history...

    I do not use any cows milk products at all anymore. When I do have dairy, the only kind I'll consume is that which comes from goats. And I take DppIV, and Lactaid along with it, to help break down the casein and lactose. Cow's milk is a very recent food for humans compared to goat milk - which we have used for 10,000 years, far longer than milk from cows...

    I've often wondered if any of Enterolab's gluten intolerance stool test customers ever received results from them that determined they were NOT gluten intolerant? If they have, I wonder what the percentage is.
  17. ENF
    I don't really think the courts are allowed to negate a doctors note. If a doctor excuses you, then that's usually final. In New York, for example you bring the note to the Country Clerk office. I'd recommend reading the instructions that they sent you, and if the issue isn't addressed, call them and find out the procedure. Your doctor may even know...

    I had very bad full-blown Celiac, diagnosed by blood tests, endoscopies, Enterolab, etc. My villi never fully healed, even after three years gluten free (last time I had an endoscopy). I served three times, prior to diagnosis, and got called again last year. I simply obtained a note from my GI doctor, presented it to the County Clerk, where it was...

    No, Celiac is a lifetime condition,and you can't safely consume gluten. Science may one day develop something to change this, but for now it's just off-limits.

    The number of diagnosed Celiacs seems to have risen, recently. Although we've been hearing, for years, that 97% of Celiacs are undiagnosed, the National Institute of Health is now saying it is 95%, This new percentage was also echoed in a NY Times article on Dec. 15, which is referenced in a thread in the Publicatons and Publicity forum. At least there...

    ARCHIVED Nutritionist On Long Island?

    ENF replied to Random-Guy's topic in Doctors

    They had a very good Celiac nutritionist at the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University, whom I saw a few years ago, but she left. I don't know if they have hired a replacement, but it's worth checking out. If they do not have somebody, maybe they could give you a recommendation. Good luck.

    I live in Brooklyn, where there must be more great pizza places per square mile than anywhere in the world, including one of the world's best (according to Zagats) just 15 minutes away from me - and I wouldn't even think of eating it anymore. I grew up eating at these pizza places, also high-gluten water bagels (that's actually what they were called in...

    The current (12/09) issue of The John Hopkins Medical Letter has an article regarding celiac and older people. Much of the article, though, is general info about Celiac. From the article:

    You are correct in not partaking if there is a risk of CC. You have a very good understanding of how to deal with such a situation. I would love to spend Thanksgiving in Plymouth, where my Mayflower passenger ancestors landed, but it's out of the question due to Celiac, and eating dinner with the organization that I used to belong to would not be worth...
