    You should be fine with steamed stuff. I would ask if they add anything to the rice or vegetables. Some places add seasonings, vingears, etc. that might need to be checked out first. It varies from place to place so I can't really tell you anything specific. Have fun!

    Check into Dr. Bronner's castille soap. I have verified recently that their liquid and bar soaps are gluten-free and that their citric acid is derived from tapioca. I didn't ask about dedicated lines though... I like the lavendar liquid dish soap from Trader Joe's.

    I would switch to another brand and see what happens. If the Bob's package doesn't explicitly say gluten-free then it's not. I know Arrowhead Mills has gluten-free corn grits.

    They are a great place. Just about everything on the menu is gluten free including the bread. Ask to speak to a manager and they'll go over what is safe (or not safe).

    There are some gluten-free things that just bother me so I understand. It's not always gluten but it is frustrating trying to troubleshoot. I'd remove these items and wait a few weeks and add them back in one at a time: Fresh Express pre-packaged salads MaraNatha Almond Butter (raw & creamy) Ener-G yeast-free brown (& white) rice bread Buffalo...

    Hi mommyof6, You shouldn't have any problems with packaged food crossing the border. Perishables like fruit, vegetables, meat, etc. can be an issue. When we take long road trips I map out our route and try to find restaurants near our stopping points. If we are passing through a large city I will usually google it to see if there are any unique places...

    Try one of these: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link Someone suggested using sweet rice flour a while back and I've had great success so far.

    They don't claim that their products are gluten-free but there isn't any gluten added to the cheese. There is a lot of info on dairy and gluten in their F.A.Q. plus the answer to your question about the source of the maltodextrin (theirs is corn based): Open Original Shared Link Galaxy Naturals Vegan and Rice Vegan cheeses are gluten and casein free...

    I am not aware of any peer reviewed research on the topic either. I would love to see more research on this as I've always had a few nagging questions. I would also like to see more research on inhaled gluten.
  11. MaryJones2
    The customer service agent was correct. Their position has always been that most of their products are gluten-free but as with most cosmetics not all of them are so you have to call to verify. The last info I have from them says that all of their shampoos and conditioners are gluten-free but some of their other products aren't. The only thickeners I've ever...

    My big passover score is Mother's Margarine. It's gluten, dairy, corn and soy free!

    Let me know how it works out! Here are a few dairy free ricotta subs: Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link
  14. MaryJones2
    I haven't tried it yet but this looks promising but I'm not sure what you could sub for the sour cream and ricotta. If you can do soy then you might be able to make it work. Soy or Coconut yogurt might work for the sour cream and there are several soy cheeses. Open Original Shared Link

    Kraft clearly labels any gluten so if the maltodextrin had gluten it would be listed. It might be worth contacting the company though and clarifying the label differences. Open Original Shared Link

    Celiac certainly requires more planning. When we travel I research gluten-free restaurants in the areas where we might stop over and plan our route based on that (sad but it works). A few fast food places have gluten-free options like Chick-Fil-A, etc. If you like to stop for lunch you could research and plan options ahead of time so you know which exit...

    Per their website they use gluten-free yeast grown on molasses.

    I certainly trust FARRP's official labratory analysis over the EZ Gluten test strip. Lakefront is a responsible company who takes their gluten-free products seriously.

    How about mainstream products that are gluten-free that she already eats? It'll remind her that not everything about her diet has to change. Also, I really like the Gluten-Free Gourmet Bakes Bread book. It's nice to be able to flip through a bread cookbook and know that I can make everything in it! You could also include a list of gluten-free recipe...

    I don't believe Kashi brand oatmeal is gluten-free. It would be worth verifying with the company before consuming.
  21. MaryJones2
    Bob's Red Mill, Open Original Shared Link, and Open Original Shared Linkhave gluten-free oats. Some people can tolerate McCann's but they say there is potential for cross contamination with gluten grains (I think their estimate is 50PPM) so if you are trying oats for the first time I'd suggest gluten-free Oats or Cream Hill.
  22. MaryJones2
    Here are my thoughts on the topic. Perhaps it will help you out. As we all know, we are required to maintain a certain attention to detail to properly follow the diet but the level exposure each celiac can tolerate varies greatly and can only be determined by you. Your body will let you know what is OK and what isn't. The other important thing to note is...

    Correcting anemia doesn't happen in a matter of weeks when your iron levels are so low. It takes months to correct and six weeks isn't really enough time to see much improvement. As Trillium mentioned gluten zaps any energy that I have and even with treatment I didn't see my iron levels start to improve until I was 100% gluten-free. I also had chills, sweats...

    I don't tolerate canned or dried chick peas but can tolerate frozen ones. I can also eat fresh so I don't think it's the chick peas. There may be something in the processing so you might want to try another brand and see if that makes a difference. It might not necessarily be a gluten thing. It could just be that you don't tolerate chick peas or there...

    I would definitely replace anything porous, scratched or otherwise uncleanable. The most common items marked for replacement are: wooden utensils, cutting boards, baking sheets, collanders, toasters, plastic, silicone and teflon items. Anything stainless should be fine after a thorough cleaning so your knives and cookware should be fine - just give everything...
