    Thanks! It is tough when you have multiple food sensitivities! I use the "naturals" ham with no nitrates. I will check for detrose, but I generally don't have a reaction to that ham (but I don'teat it often). And the peanut butter is okay for sure. The vinegar is another matter entirely, because of sulfites. Still, I usually can tolerate the mustard...

    Hmm. I know it is not dairy. I ate peanut butter or ham and mustard sandwiches-- no dairy. Intersting about the xanthan gum. I have used it before in baking and it is in lots of cookies and gluten-free preparations. But perhaps it has something to do with quantity or a particular combination of ingredients. I would say the effects were cumulative...

    I recently discovered the wonder of Udi's breads. I bought them (both kinds-- but mostly the white b/c the whole grain one kept selling out and I only got one loaf of that)and I ate it for several days as toast in the morning and a sandwich to take to work. However, I developed progressively worse GERDS symptoms that completely and instantly disappeared...

    Thank you so much, Patti! I think this will help him a great deal. I can really identify with your story too. The disappointment and desperation! I took diuretics for about 10 years and developed a sulfite allergy (they all have sulphur in them). I lost weight, did exercise, acupuncture and even biofeedback. I took beta blockers, alpha...

    Patty, do you happen to remember where you read about the insulin connection? I ask because my dad is now having trouble and I am hoping the article will help him. His blood sugar and bp are both too high. Thanks!

    Make that a "yes" for me too! I was having blood pressure spikes, which are gone now. In addition, the low carb diet was a great help. I do not take bp meds anymore, which is a good thing because I had a lot of trouble with them. I had worked through all of the classes of meds, except nitroglycerin (which I refused.) They either did not work or...

    Alrighty then. Can we get some good salsa recipes please?

    Thank you for posting this. Maybe all those times I thought it was the tortilla chips it was really the darn salsa. Hmph!

    Here is what I know about Trader Joe's. They have a champaign-citrus vinegar and it is on their gluten free list (available in the store.) It does not say gluten free on the bottle, but it lists "natural flavors" in the ingredients. The rest of the ingredients are okay. I took a chance. I got zapped. Mild, but I did get zapped. That is enough...

    I forgot to say that I also wrote to Bliss. Nothing. Origins sent me an email requesting specific products names. I sent a list to them twice, but I kept getting the same email back. I just give up on that one. Too bad... they also had a big scary bold caps paragraph about how any information in the email was not to be disseminated in any form...

    Margaret, how did you find out about origins? I sent them three emails asking about this and I got no information. I am so frustrated! I wrote to over 40 companies and only heard back from about half! For hair I also wrote to: Johnathan Product Korres natural products Phytologie Does anybody know anything about these brands?
  12. Lisa16
    I wrote to Korres and Johnathan product-- I got replies from h20+ (no!) and RUSK, as well as L'occitane-- see post. Caudalie shampoo and conditioner is gluten-free. I hope to hear back from more companies soon and I will post the results. Lisa
