I started taking Citracal Calcium Gummi's to get some extra calcium in my life and I swear within a half an hour, I'm going to the bathroom...and then do so at least 3 more times in the moring. It says Contains no: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy or wheat (gluten).

It does contain tricalcium phosphate , corn syrup, sucrose, water, sodium citrate, citric acide, pectin, maqui berry juice concentrate (color), artificial flavoring, fd&c yellow #6, fd&C red #40, vitamin d3 (Cholecalciferol).

I don't have any red 40 or any other intolerances and its not an emergency bathroom trip but I have tried taking them two days and then not two days and I definitely can tell that they're the cluprit. Does calcium do that to you?

I thought that Texas Roadhouse did away with their "gluten free" menu?

I'm one of those people who cannot tolerate Udi's. I can't have Oats either so I can't speak to their granola but I'm not a terribly sensitive celiac either however, Udi's just royally crushes me. My fiancee who is NOT gluten free had emergency bathroom visits with udi's also, which was suspect. I honestly think its too much xanathan gum for me or the combination of their ingrediants just doesn't love me!

My thoughts on this are that people are crazy. There is a woman at my fiancee's work who told him that her daughter was a celiac but Jesus healed her and that I should go to church more if I want to be healed.

I've had problems with your third point also since being gluten free, but more so in the last year. Turns out, it was due to a freakishly low level of b12's in my body. I've been on the shots for 5 months and am just starting to feel normal!

I eat Ore-Ida all the time and Alexia and have never had a gluten reaction to them. Some people on here have issues with potatoes and also too much xanathan gum can cause a gluten reaction (in non gluten people too!) maybe something else got you?

I've never heard of a prodcut claiming to be gluten free that has wheat in it, do you have any examples? I have heard of a product that can claim to be wheat free but isn't gluten free but never the other way around.

I get B12 shots and take suppliments, it took awhile to figure out but after 7 years being gluten free this year has been a hard one for me. I've been sick, as if I'm eating gluten, yet am not having issues with any other intolerences, it was almost like I was just always sick. Finally, my GI realized that my b12's were "freakishly low" which is why I was lethargic and having such terrible stomach issues (which also triggered anxiety issues). I'm going on half a year with the shots and my levels are still not in the normal range. The dr. is pretty convinced that I've had this deficiancy for quite a few years and it just wasn't looked for. I'd definitely get your levels checked and pick up some supplements!

The ingrediants are gluten free, however, there's always a chance of cross contamination if you're sensitive to that. I've eaten them with no issues but the ingrediants are safe. I hope you feel better!

weird, i love all the Betty Crocker mixes, while the cookies are a bit crumbly..we've never had issue with them being thin! Sorry it didn't work out for you!

I'm not aware of anything that's really safe for us at KFC, even their grilled chicken is made in flour! Glad you're feeling better.

I found them at Lowe's foods in South Carolina. They definitely snap crackle and pop but I found them to get mushy a lot faster than regular ones, nonetheless, they still tasted the same! Which made me question why not just remove the malt flavoring from all of the Rice Krispies!

I honestly live off of Pastariso Dolphin Rice Gluten-Free Macaroni and Cheese....I LOVE IT.

I eat the Carmel filled ones frequently and haven't ever had any issues!

I can't eat Udi's or Teff. My finacee and I (my fiancee is a gluten eating fiend) both had bathroom emergencies while eating Udi's, so I think the laxative effect definitely took toll on our household. I also tried the Teff Flour wraps and had a similar reaction...so I sadly avoid them all!

Thank you so much for posting this! We're going to the Sandals Royal Carribbean for our honeymoon in October and after asking a few times on this site, I hadn't gotten much response. This makes me feel much better about the trip!

I still think that wheat paste thing is a myth, it really doesn't contaminate the wine, I've talked to wine makers at length about that kind of stuff because I live in an area where there are a lot of wineries. I do know that some celiacs have trouble with the sulfites in wine, maybe that could've caused a reaction? Granted I don't know much about that particular brand but the vast majority of the people on this board have no problems with wine from a celiac perspective! I hope you feel better soon!

scratch that! apparently I'm at 209...haha the Dr. just called.

I get b12 shots and have been for the last 5 months, I've been a celiac for over 7 years and it took a long time for it to finally get noticed, based on my symptoms I was still having a lot of celiac seeming reactions, but following the strict diet. In the 5 months, I've seen a boost in my energy and less pep in my step to the bathroom . "Normal" levels are between 300-900 and they like you to be somewhere in the middle. My level was 150, which my doctor called freakishly low. Even after 5 months of shots, I'm still only to 250, so my body is taking a bit longer!

Whether or not the source of that post is actually from Udi's...isn't Udi's a gluten-free bakery? If its a gluten issue that would mess up their status with that. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Hersheypark probably is one of the best themeparks for gluten free options. We went last weekend with our family and there were gluten free wraps, buns, pizza and chicken fingers! It takes awhile longer to cook them than the normal food but none of us got sick!

I might have to give Udi's a try on a weekend when I don't have much going on. The last few times I ate them, they made me incredibly sick..but I'm not sure if it was them or if I was just "off".

My honest to goodness FAVORITE gluten free product is anything by Against the Grain.

frozen!

oh man, I wish that they were fresh, I'd eat them all immediately.

I haven't tried the chocolate chex yet!

Bearkat used to make this mexican rice bowl that I had for lunch like everyday. I don't think they make it anymore but I loved it!
