    From the CSA Position paper in the above link: ".....Factors affecting the possibility of there being any residual gluten in the final French fries or hash browns include:

    dd, Thanks for the link. I enjoyed it immensley. It also led me to some other great places. I ranted on China during the pet food crises, and got a lot of grief and anti-US ramblings in return. I tend to forget that even though this forum is made up of mostly American members, there are also people here from all over the world, even France. That...

    Wow. I read the whole thing. Very informative. However, it does go far beyond the scope of simply listing wheat, barley, & rye containing foods. They make many recommendations not strictly based on the actual presence of wheat, barley, & rye. Pretty extreme for a fairly well adjusted Celiac IMO. Of course, such extremism might be needed for those...

    dd, That first link has expired. The other two say there have been no tainted foods from China entering the US. I'm wondering if those M&M's and Snickers were produced overseas or here. I hope it's not the latter 'cause I eat Snickers regularly and M&M's occassionally. Are Celiacs not supposed to? Nobody told me, I'm always the last to know. As...

    Chronic D can cause hemorrhoids. Can you tolerate Immodium AD tablets? I take two at the first indication of a serious D episode. And then one after every BM until cleared up, usually only a total of four tablets is needed. best regards, lm

    Happy birthday Darlindeb. best regards, lm

    Thank you all, and happy birthday to you darlindeb. best regards, lm

    (The following comment is not on Ghirardelli products, rather a more general statement) I don't think we're going to see a "contains gluten" on the packaging unless there is a wheat, barley, or rye ingredient. We might get a "produced in a facility that also processes...." warning if there is a "potential" cross contamination issue. By definition, all...

    Dear ohsotired, I didn't actually say duh to you, since I didn't quote you or use your name. I indirectly said duh about you, a subtle but important distinction. Having cleared that up, I apologize for making you give me the angry emoticon. At the very least, I should have thrown a happy face in there. Sorry. best regards, lm

    That's an unusual name. What does it mean? best regards, lm

    My opinion. They are exactly like gluten store bought frozen waffles. Light & crispy (if you follow the directions and cook them properly, if it says put directly on rack, then that means don't put them on a cookie sheet, duh) nothings. Something hot & edible to put butter, syrup, honey, agave nectar, peanut butter, jelly, cream cheese, chocolate...

    Vinegar, any kind. No problem. Never think twice about it. As far as I'm concerned, it's gluten-free. It's in my nacho slices, hot sauces, wing sauces, numerous other condiments. I eat nachos (made on Tostidos) every day, and hot wings every other day. best regards, lm

    Guhlia, Who is the celiac, you or your daughter? And does this pet also need to eat casein/soy/corn/rice/nut/egg/apple free food? best regards, lm

    Found another taco seasoning. Food Club brand. No wheat in the ingredients. I got it at Brookshires, but it's sold at a number of chains. best regards, lm

    ".......***If the 2nd and 3rd numbers in the series of numbers is either 71 or 45 they have been made in the plant with flour."...... That is a bonafide piece of real information all right. Now I'll have to check the numbers on my bags. Thank you. best regards, lm
  16. larry mac
    NorthernElf, I'm very interested in knowing what you base the statement that "Tostidos....have a relatively high chance of cross contamination". Would that be an intimate knowledge of the manufacturing processes in the Tostidos plant? A scientific study? A poll of Celiacs that have been sickened by Tostidos? I'm not doubting that you believe you've...
  17. larry mac
    Of course. You go to the store, read the label on the cheese dip, and if it doesn't say wheat it's gluten-free. I've tried several, all very inferior to home made IMO. At least once a week, I take a break from my usual staple of homemade nachos, and make some queso. I start with Velveeta, add some sharp cheddar cheese, chopped jalepeno nacho slices, my...

    Have you actually used the Kroger white vinegar and had a reaction? If not, what vinegars containing grains other than corn have you had a problem with?
  19. larry mac
    Please note the absence of beef & cheese or chicken & cheese "Taquitos". I have yet to find any brand that does not have flour in the cheese. best regards, lm
  20. larry mac
    Cheese nachos should be a fairly safe bet at a mexican restaurant. I've eaten chicken and fajita beef nachos before, but the risk would be if the fajita seasoning contains flour, similar to taco seasoning. best regards, lm

    OK Beth. I dug up one of my recent posts on this topic. I make tacos a lot, and have searched high & low for wheat-less mixes. best regards, lm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've found quite a few good ones. I usually mix or blend several kinds together...
  22. larry mac
    Yes. The ones without wheat in them. best regards, lm

    I had some very minor problems eating Quaker chips (slight D). The funny thing is, I ate instant Quaker oatmeal for quite a while with no problems before I gave up instant oatmeal on general purposes (the supposed CC oats issue). Plus, it's not winter here in Texas, and oatmeal is a winter thing for me. best regards, lm

    A quick search on google confirmed what I already knew. Cheese sauce, including nacho cheese sauce, typically contains flour as a thickening agent and/or filler. I've also discovered that "queso", whether in a bowl as an appetizer, or on a dish such as enchiladas with queso sauce, contains flour. The cheese in cheese enchiladas may not. But the chile con...

    I'm sorry Rya. After re-reading my post, it's apparent I was somewhat abrupt and insensitive. I was not trying to imply that you may have an eating disorder or anything like that. I was simply questioning the fairness of blaming the Rice Chex based on your stated diet that day. Actually, when I read about the margaritas, jalepeno potato chips, and Rice...
