Found the definition on the manufactures website........... 2. What is gluconolactone (GDL) and is it gluten-free? Gluconolactone (GDL) is a gluten-free, fermented food starch derived from corn. Once processed into a pure white, crystalline powder, it carries none of the characteristics of corn. It has been used to make cottage cheese and bread for many... -

Beth, Thank you for your reply . I went to the Dr. and they did some more tests but said that because it is a recent diagnosis I will probably make mistakes and have problems for awhile yet. I asked about the Negative test and he said it doesn't matter, he would rather I stayed off of wheat permanently. I would have to continue eating wheat to get a... -

Junky, I read you post and I cannot believe the similarities to what happened to me...I ate at Red Lobster and became so violently ill that I had seizures. That was Jan. '05.

I try to keep all surfaces clean but I still miss... -

1. Know that you will grieve your old favorite gluten-filled foods. I actually tear up when I see a brioche sometimes. Grieving is normal, BUT IT IS NOT EASY OR COMFORTABLE. People around you will eat treats you can't have and you will feel sad and isolated. Strategy: stock your car, office, purse, backpack, secret drawer at home with gluten-free treats you...

WOW! I wish I had this list last week before I spent $130.00 on groceries...I have printed it off and I will give it to the other lady in my town that has Celiac. Is couponcabin.com a good source for coupons? The web sites are a great help as well...I live in a small town but even the city nearby has only one health food store and they are not familiar with...

Very helpful information...I have a question about supplements and vitamins..Do some of them have gluten? I will of course read all labels but I was curious to know if there are any specific brands that are better? I am following all that was on your reply except that I have been drinking tap water and eating pecans instead of walnuts. I will ask at the health...

I just signed up at this site because I am lost. I recently recieved a Celiac diagnosis. I have had hypoglycemia all along but it was not an issue when on non-celiac diet. Now it is a huge issue. I can't tolerate dairy either. I'M STARVING! I am seeing a dietician...she's helped a bunch! but no menu plans...I'm tired of tuna and peanut butter every single...
