    HI, Well, I haven't researched grain grasses, but.....I've been eating mochi and lovin' it! I miss the doughy texture of wheat products and this stuff hits the spot. Mochi is chewy, quick to bake and fun to eat. It puffs up and out. I like to stuff it with applesauce or tahini. So far I've tried the Original Flavor and Seeds ones. The Cashew Date and Pizza...

    Hi Everyone, I just called Hain Celestial Group because I'm craving some Imagine Foods Vanilla Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert and wanted to 1) verify that it is still gluten-free and 2) find out if there's any possibility of cross-contamination. After being on hold for a few minutes I spoke to a man named George. When I asked him if the gluten-free listings...

    Hi Tarnalberry - I hope you're right! I'll do a search today, if time allows, and post anything I find of interest. If anyone knows a good source of info on grain grasses, please post it. Thanks much and good day - Toni

    Hi, Grainaissance's web site states that all of their Amazakes (rice beverage) are gluten-free except for Mocha Java. Gimme Green's ingredients list includes wheat grass, oat grass, barley grass and kamut grass. I e-mailed the company and asked if Gimme Green really is gluten-free and the woman who responded said "The grasses do not contain gluten as...

    Hi Sarah, Thanks for the quick response. I'll answer the easier question first. I don't think that the crust or any of the other pizza ingredients were contaminated. I used Sylvan Border Farm (Mendocino Gluten-Free Products, Inc.) Wheat-Free Non-Dairy Bread Mix for the crust. It's a locally owned company and I've spoken to the owner several times. She...

    Hello Everyone, I'm wondering if anyone thinks they've reacted to any of Muir Glen's canned tomato products. I've made gluten-free pizza twice recently (I used Muir Glen tomato paste and plain diced tomatoes and had confirmed beforehand that the citric acid in their products is corn-based) and both times, within a day or two, my scalp itchies have flared...

    Hi Terri-Anne, The citric acid in the tomato juice might be the culprit. Better call or e-mail the company to find out before Logan douses his tater again. I also enjoy Muir Glen products and I'm pretty sure that I've seen tomato juice on the shelf. Good Luck! Let us know what you find out. Happy day - Toni P.S. What brand is the questionable...

    Hi Carol, I'm so glad that you posted Dr. Fine's talk. I printed a copy and know that I will refer to it frequently. It's well-written, easy to understand and makes a whole lot of sense to me. I feel so much more educated now and have no doubt at all that I'm doing the right thing. (I declined the blood tests and biopsy last fall and went the Enterolab...

    Hi ellcrys11, Like Sarah, my favorite brand of rice pasta is Tinkyada for the same reasons. I regularly eat the organic spirals, penne and spaghetti. They all hold up well. I've never had any sticking problems. Just be sure to use enough cooking and rinsing water and, like Stacie said, avoid overcooking it. I rarely cook with oils but I love to add a drizzle...

    Hi Sharon, There's no such thing as a stupid question, especially if it's about gluten! And you're absolutely right - wheat free does not necessarily mean gluten free. Gluten is also found in barley, rye and oats and it wears many disguises. If you very carefully examine the cracker ingredients you'll be able to determine whether or not there's any...

    Hi, My symptoms seem to surface within 2 or 3 days. My bowel movements become loose and mouth ulcers begin to erupt. My bowel remains irritated for about a week. The mouth ulcers last a bit longer. The severity depends on how much gluten I've ingested. These are my main symptoms. There are several others that seem to take turns. Happy gluten-free...

    Hi Sarah, Boy, do I wish we could REALLY trust food labels, too. But I'm learning that our own intuition IS something that we can really trust. I'm listening to mine more and more. Remember - this is a learning process and even though it sometimes feels like we're taking two steps backward for every step forward, our knowledge base is growing, our awareness...

    Hi, I've been using "flavorganics" vanilla extract with no problems. It's labeled gluten-free. I just visited their website to see if I could find out if it's made in a gluten-free facility or on a dedicated line, but there was no mention of gluten anywhere. It's too late to call because they're on the east coast and I'm on the west coast. I'll either...

    Hello again - Duh! Just realized I said a silly thing. Soy sauce has soybeans in it so since the San-J gluten-free tamari/soy sauce doesn't bother me, Bragg's probably won't either, as long as it's gluten-free. I'll blame my lack of follow-through thinking to it being so early in the morning and the fact that I really should be getting ready for work,...

    Hello Willamina, I've been wondering about Braggs, too. I bought a bottle a few weeks ago but haven't used it because I'm not certain that it's gluten-free. It sounds like it's gluten-free and one of these days I'm going to contact the company. I guess I haven't done that yet because I'm not so sure that soy isn't a problem for me as well. When I do contact...

    ARCHIVED Mouth Sores

    tonileet replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hello, Very interesting discussion, indeed. Kathleen, I'm so happy to hear that you've had so few mouth ulcers since going gluten-free. The first couple of years that I had them, my doctor said that he'd never seen a case as severe as mine in anyone that wasn't receiving chemotherapy. Unfortunately, I have experienced the "100 sore outbreak". I also could...

    ARCHIVED Mouth Sores

    tonileet replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi Stacie, I quit drinking soda more than 20 years ago, but when I did, Coke was my favorite. I don't know the ingredients in Coke or Mountain Dew but I do remember hearing when I was a kid that "coke will take the rust off your car". Now I don't know if there's any truth to that, but it if does, I don't even want to think about what it might do to the...

    Hi, Connie - Thanks for posting the hidden gluten ingredients list. I'm sure it'll come in handy at some point. Susan - Neutrogena e-mailed me a list of their gluten-free products. I don't use lipstick and I don't even know what all of these products are, but they're lip-related in some way! Instant Lip Remedy Lip Boost Intense Moisture Lipstick...

    ARCHIVED Skin Issues

    Hello Everyone - Mariann: How nice to hear from you on this new snazzy message board! I've been thinking about you lately, wonderin' how the gluten challenge is going and when your biopsy is. YOUR itchies sound quite uncomfortable. I hope your biopsy is REAL soon so you can start focusing on feeling way better. When is your biopsy? I'd like to know so...

    ARCHIVED Mouth Sores

    tonileet replied to a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi Stacie, Ouch! I know exactly what you're going through and I've been wondering the same thing. How long do we have to be gluten free before we'll have NO more mouth sores? I'm still getting them after almost 6 months of being gluten free. The worst outbreak in the past 6 months was due to accidental ingestion, but most of them just seem to happen no...

    Good Day, Roz - Yes, "skin eruptions that itch and have little tips that break off"! And Jenni - mine burn as well as itch. This happened to me for the first (and so far only) time 5 months after going gluten-free. I'm still wondering if it was DH. I found a celiac.com article by Dr. Joseph Murray about DH which says, "The condition is related to...

    ARCHIVED Skin Issues

    tonileet replied to filititi's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

    Hi - I agree, Shirley. This new board is going to take some getting used to, but I think I'm going to like it a lot. There are still, however, several features that I haven't figured out yet. I mentioned my itchy scalp problem under the thread "How long have you been gluten-free and how are you feeling?". I won't repeat all the details here, just...

    Hi tgcatmr and others, I've been gluten-free for 5 1/2 months and have gained 13 pounds. I've pretty much gained the amount of weight that I lost. I was skinny and now I'm thin. My weight feels right now. I've started to take exercise walks again to maintain my current weight. I'm hoping that I won't gain much more. As for what to eat to gain/maintain...

    Happy, Healthy 2004 to everyone, old and new! And thanks, Lisa, for asking for progress reports. Good idea. I'm enjoying reading everyone else's. I haven't posted for a while but I've been reading everyday and always learn something new. January 11th will be my 6-month gluten-free anniversary. Overall, I'm steadily improving. The mental relief...
