    On the above brands, some of the labels I read in the past, during a search for a new brand of dog food, after my old brand of dog food started adding oatmeal that must have been cc'd because my allergic dog got sick, indicated it may not be gluten free, inspite of being labeled as such on the front - always read your labels on the bag. Manufacturers may...

    I had symptoms of gallbladder disease, which was no surprise as it also runs in my family, but had not yet gotten to the point where I was scanned for it, I merely was trying to avoid eating anything that would set it off. Those symptoms went away after a while on a gluten free diet. But it was very strange at first, as I had gone on a grain free diet...

    Not a risk that I know of, if he is already eating in a healthy style. My husband is gluten free at home, and may go days sometimes on weekends or vacations without gluten, then eat a regular sandwich out if he feels like it, without effect. He probably eats more vegetables than the standard American Male of the Species, as a result, knows what "sorghum...

    Could be stomach flu or food poisoning, too. Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water. Put a pinch of salt into it, and a pinch of sugar. If you can find some gluten free ginger, try that, by brewing it in some tea or just with hot water, or eating crystalized ginger or even grating some ginger root up, it's good for nausea. Fennel seed is...

    Totally opposite of my last experience with this chain, last autumn of 2010, when I had the counter clerk/pharm tech totally blow me off, and I had to insist on seeing the actual pharmacist, who also was unprofessional, and tried the same thing with a prescription I was trying to get filled.... Looked at the package, when I said I had to avoid gluten...

    At this rate it will be down to cutting seed potatoes into starters, planting growing and harvesting them, then distilling our own potato vodka. Mix with rainwater and add sprig of home grown mint, thyme, and eucalyptus leaf. At least now I don't feel so paranoid for rinsing my mouth out thoroughly with water if and after using a mouthwash.

    Maybe it is a test marketing ? The only thing I can find online (looked everywhere) is a pdf that is on google documents which is a Business Plus Presentation of Tastykake New Product Launch. It's an outline with no date on it. But the product is for gluten free tastykakes. That's strange they'd try it with gluten-free cookies, when the most famous...

    Here is the Dr Oz show blog on going gluten free, where you can leave some feedback (and others already have been doing so, good for them ! ) Open Original Shared Link This column has the name Robynne K Chutkan, MD, FASGE attached to it, as author. I'll pull the first and middle paragraphs, so you can see some of the problems. Dear Doctor...

    Ya huh. I also can eat the non labeled Mission corn tortillas, and (don't laugh) even the very sensitive dog can eat the corn tortillas. On the other hand, last week I just tried a new package of corn flour from a name brand which makes a lot of gluten free items, but did not label their corn meals as such, where I noticed they had changed the label...

    This lack of labeling could be a potential, future nightmare for people with food allergies and food sensitivities resulting in auto immune disease from consuming a protein they react to, which was not supposed to be in the original food object. Examples, adding genes of one plant to another plant. Allegedly drought tolerant Rice with barley, anyone...

    Rice bran would add fiber and fat. It has become fashionable as a fat supplement for horse feed - some horses in the winter, or endurance horses, benefit from fat supplements for their hair coats and for energy. (yes, there are also carbohydrate intolerant horses, who end up eating special horse diets.... ) I've seen it for sale at farm stores but a health...

    ______ for not using yeast in baking- Re: baking soda and pure apple cider vinegar, or even lemon juice, can be easily used to leaven gluten free breads instead of yeast. You just don't have to let the loaves or breads "rise," with the fermenting yeast working with sugars, but bake them right away as it's the fizz from the soda and acid that does...

    Yes, and I'm not saying that you shouldn't use whatever medications you have available, if you've looked at what the risks vs. benefits are. The people in the countries with universal medical coverage tend to be enthusiastic. I have had this disease a very long time, and all I can say is, I loathe rheumatologists and the whole Medical - Industrial complex...

    Really. Do something nice for yourself if others don't want to be bothered. Go to an early movie matinee, take a safe treat in your purse. Soak in the tub with scented candles, go to the store, listen to music, read a book, a magazine, lay out in the lawnchair if your weather is not as bad as ours (Feb was nice. March is just rankly wet here.) go to...

    If you can find almonds at a decent price that haven't been run thru a wheat factory and have a blender to grind them in, you will never lack for almond meal. Works for pecans, walnuts, etc. I have successfully made little, moist cakes in the microwave in a bowl with almond meal, an egg, oil, sweetener, flavorings, and vinegar and baking soda...

    My husband voluntarily went gluten free at home after watching me get sick one too many times. At the time it really surprised me, but he says he does not miss gluten foods since he eats lunch out and can have it then, if he wants it. We use rice pasta for spaghetti or macaroni dishes, and he eats gluten free breakfast cereals now. Those have been the...

    The biological anti TNF drugs that they are already marketing for auto immune arthritis have so many potential bad side effects as documented on PubMed and NIH (see how I added the disclaimer), tend to wear off in effect after awhile, and are so expensive, if they were marketed the same way, it would only be another complete validation for the efficacy of...

    And highlighted so well no glasses were needed to see it. No, I am not placing myself in the second group, as you have defined it. That's where the medical profession who writes or gives quotes to the media is currently trying to place me, because they don't have anything else and they need a category. I was diagnosed with auto immune disease...

    Q. Why ? A. To give people who have allergies and food intolerances reasons to have migraines This has been another simple answer to a simple question. Can you contact them and ask what their spin is ?

    Attention: This is an older thread. However, the cautions about ingredients still apply. Especially for Tylenol. Benedryl. Motrin. News this week (March 18th 2011) says that the FDA is taking over 3 manufacturing plants operated by Johnson & Johnson McNeil's division, because they have had so many problems with recalls. link here: http...

    Yes, you can heal. You may never get to where you can completely get rid of the discomfort, but you are capable of getting to where you can ignore it. Most of the neuropathy should go away if you stick to the gluten free diet. Try altering your sleeping position. I hardly ever sleep in a "conventional" position anymore, except for naps or short periods...
