    Coffeemate in the US is clearly labeled dairy free and gluten free - they have a ton of flavors and are delicious. Not sure if they're available to you there in Canada but I hope so!

    Just wanted to give anyone a heads up to be careful when eating here. When I first found out about it - I was so excited because I thought the pizza was fantastic! I started ordering from there all the time. There were MANY times that they sent me a regular crust, NOT a gluten-free crust (obvious because the gluten-free crust is thin and the regular is...

    I went to Cancun a couple of years ago and actually found it VERY easy to eat there. From what I found, they use corn in everything instead of the gluten-y stuff that we use here in the US. I never got sick and they never made any modifications for me (I ate at big places in the touristy areas and at the little local places). Most Mexican places here use...

    Hello - I wanted to get some feedback from anyone who might have experienced what I am going through right now. For the past week I have had horrible back pain, body aches and fatigue but no fever. I feel awful! I went in for a urinalysis because the back pain feels like it's radiating into my sides so they thought I could have a kidney infection but...

    They have other flavors that are gluten free too, they have a flan that says gluten free that I have not tried yet, but it looks really yummy and their chocolate pudding is also gluten-free and delicious! I have seen kozy shack at walmart and safeway (our local grocery store) so I think it is actually pretty easy to find.

    Hey everyone - I know it can be really frusturating to figure out whether or not some prescription drugs are gluten free or not. I had to call about a few this morning and thought I would share the info. IVAX: 800-327-4114 (spoke to Stew on 7/2/07)) generic cipro (sorry the pharmacist did not give me the generic name) 500mg is gluten-free...

    Not yet - but so exciting!!!! I will be checking this out - thanks for the post!

    I personally would have him tested. As most people on this board have discovered, many doctors are very uneducated when it comes to celiac disease. They only look for the classic digestive, malnourishment signs - which is just the tip of ONE of the symptom iceburgs out there. Shortly before I was FINALLY diagnosed (at age 22) I became lactose intolerant...

    Thanks for the post - I'm always looking for natural remedies to my stomach issues! I don't have a Trader Joe's (in Colorado...yet) Do you know of any other brands that are gluten-free? I wonder if Celestial Seasonings has one, they always label it if it's gluten-free.... Thanks!

    HI - welcome to the gluten-free world! The world of cosmetics and body products is a challenging one! I personally would not use the polish remover if it has wheat in it. I have been gluten free for almost 6 years and as of last year gave up EVERYTHING that has gluten in it. I even feed my pets' gluten-free food (I was getting migraines everyday-they...

    According to the Wheaton Gluten Free support group list - the tabs and the elixir are ok. I take the 24-hour one with no problems.

    I live in Colorado (very dry climate). I use Vaseline lotions - the aloe (green bottle) lotion in the summer and the shea butter (I think) brown bottle in the winter. They also will not hide gluten - they are made by uniliver I believe. Of course I'm not sure if this all applies to the UK, sorry!

    Never thought of using a cleaner on my retainers - I just use my toothbrush/toothpaste and brush them (it's what my ortho told me to do)!

    I use Bare Minerals makeup - I like it alot, although it is pretty expensive. Alot cheaper than Nars though! Last time I checked all of their makeup was gluten free.

    What exactly is Dr. Reddy's? I have never heard of it, perhaps I am a bit behind the times? Is it a generic drug manufacturer - a gluten-free resource?

    I've had them too and loved them - I am also very picky, especially when it comes to artificial sweetener taste.

    Agreed - think how many times you touch your hair or face and then make something to eat, bite your nails, etc... Also - believe it or not, most of us do get product in our mouth when we shower - it's how I ended up with giardia in Nepal the first day I got there! Laurie

    This list shows that lawry's will disclose gluten on it's labels - that is NOT true. I was making myself sick for months by using their seasoning salt last year because the ingredients appeared to be okay.... I only discovered it was not okay by something someone posted on this board.... Just a word of caution...

    Hello - Downtown Denver has a PF Changs and a Maggiano's that can both cater to a gluten free diet. If you will have a rental car - there is a gluten free restaurant/bakery called Deby's that is a few miles south of downtown (off I-25 and Evans, I think). Of course there are always the really nice steak houses that are usually pretty easy to eat at...

    Thanks Carla for the info!!!! I REALLY appreciate it! I hope your infection starts to decrease soon! I'll let you know if/when I hear from GSK about the malarone. Laurie

    Paula - how did you come to the conclusion of casein and soy? Did you just cut everything out and add back in or are there tests you had done? I'm starting to suspect that I may have another allergy.... Thanks! Laurie
  23. OceanGirl78
    THANKS!!! That is one thing I have been unable to find a good substitute for - you guys made MY day!!!

    Cinnamon works great for relieving nausea. I worked at an ob-gyn office and it's what they told the pregnant women to use to reduce morning sickness (even though you are not pregnant!) I've tried it and it seemed to help. Just a thought: Have you checked and rechecked everything in your life to make sure you are not getting glutened somehow? I would...

    I need help with malaria meds!! I am traveling to Sudan, Africa in a few weeks and need to take malaria meds. There are four options from what I have discovered. One I cannot take because the malaria strains are resistant to it. One I cannot take because I have a history of depression. Doxycycline makes you extremely sensitive to the sun (I am...
