Fleischmann's Light in the sleeve (not the stick) is made from corn and canola oil. It is claimed to be free of milk and soy. We've been using it for many years and even bake with it. Recently the grocery stores in our area decided to stop carrying it. So, we called Fleischmann's and they told us it could be ordered through any store that already carries...

I have to chime in about my relationship with my MIL. Its been an uphill battle for the 7 years we've been married.

I think Amber products are ok. Im sure they confirmed them. Amber usually lists the all the ingredients on their product container in any case. I also agree that using strait oils is also a good way to avoid allergens for clients. Both Amber, Biotone and several other companies sell unscented hypoallergenic lotion/oil/cream bases to be customized with essential...

We love Annie's Naturals products. They have 4 different types of mustards and they note on the bottle gluten-free/dairy-free. They have a site at www.anniesnaturals.com

The only way to be absolutely sure that you are eating gluten free foods is to buy from companies like Ener-G, Kinnikinnick and Enjoy Life that have gluten free facilities. Especially if they test for gluten. Otherwise there is always a remote chance of cross contamination. I personally don't think that a product should be labeled gluten free if its not made...

We usually go through a bag of Xanthan Gum fairly quickly (two months or less), however I have seen written on the bags 1 to 2 years. We keeps ours in a tupperware container in the fridge. And it can develop a distinctly sharp, pungent smell when it turns. I found an old unopened bag in the back of the pantry (we really should clean it more often!) and it...

I have to recommend Kinnikinnick. Our whole family is gluten-free and have tried lots of different breads. So far theirs seems the best. Plus, they make yeast-free/egg-free/milk-free breads. Im sure you could make a good bread with the right recipe, but we are pretty busy and don't have time to experiment. We usually buy two dozen loaves at one time and freeze...

I was looking for some men's skin care products recently and came across a web store that actually has a gluten-free list of skin/body care products. www.skin-spa.com/glutenfree.htm has stuff for men and women. My wife was excited about this because she contacted them and is getting some free samples to try. They seem knowledgeable. I think the owner has...

I have to work away from home a lot too, so I have learned to start preparing food in advance. Theres many meals that can be made quickly in the crock-pot, then portioned and frozen for later use. We do roasts, soups, stews, pastas, etc. in ours. It doesnt take much time to prepare, then it cooks all day while Im at work. I also got a lunch bag and pack...

Hi Susan, My wife really likes the Candadi Bread mix from Kinnikinnick. Its gluten-free, yf, milk free and can be made egg free if necessary. She uses egg replacer powder. It is way better than the Energ bread since it has a taste/texture more like real bread. They also have a ready made variant and tapioca bread too if you can eat eggs.

My wife has had a problem with candida/yeast in the past. It was the first thing she was ever diagnosed with, about two years before being diagnosed celiac and going gluten free. Her doctor at that time put her on a yeast-free, sugar-free diet + antifungals (both nystatin and diflucan). It improved a little, but she continued to have the dark circles under...

Yes, Ora5 is a a topical solution and they have a website at www.ora5.com Really helped me a lot. I also remembered that I switched to a natural toothpaste that doesnt contain sodium lauryl sulfate as I have read that it can influence mouth sores. Between those two things I noticed a dramatic improvement. If you go to dentist.net they have a section...

My wife has pernicious anemia due to celiac disease. It was so bad that the doctors at Mayo Clinic believe it caused her dysautonomia and neurological problems. She's had to get weekly injections for 7 years. They check regularly, but despite being strictly gluten-free it has never gotten better enough to stop the shots. She has improved though from use....

Me and my mother-in-law went gluten free at the same time. (My wife is a celiac and kept encouraging us to get tested because of our symptom. Sure enough wife is always right and we are all celiacs.) Definitely felt like withdrawl symptoms. Just felt lethargic and irritable for a while. And constantly hungry. Finally after three months Im feeling more energy...

I was just diagnosed a few months ago and needed a lunchbox for work. I found a Silly Yak Pack at www.sansgluten.com Its a good size lunch cooler - no thermos, but it certainly fits my containers and I put my cell phone and wallet in the pocket. Its really great and I get to tell people about my celiac disease when it gets noticed.
