    I am 54, diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis 20 years ago and Crohn's disease 10 years ago. Yes, the damage done to your intestines affects how you absorb medications and vitamins. I know this from experience. The only form my body will absorb as far as medications is non enteric coated tablets, capules or liquid. Unfortunately most medications prescribed...

    Thank you I thought it was really interesting too. Every time I eat any form of bean it is as if I have been glutened. I began to suspect beans, so I stayed off all forms of beans for 2 weeks then tried about a tablespoon of lima beans 3 days in a row. Well, it was as if I had been glutened to death! So I started researching and found some very interesting...

    If the restaurant manager said he could do gluten free, hand him this: Do's and Don'ts for Preparing and Serving Gluten Free Meals Restaurants. Do's Make sure menu items that are marked as Gluten Free (gluten-free) are Gluten Free.

    Have you considered it may be the yeast in the product? I have a yeast intolerance and cannot eat any breads that contain yeast. Had to give up beer too And the funny thing is I discovered the yeast intolerance before I found out I was gluten intolerant. "Grains, yeast … It is generally recognised these days that white flour does not have a h...

    It really depends on what you are looking for. The same company Abbott Nutrition makes both of these products. I prefer Enlive mainly because it is much easier to digest. I order it online 2 cases at a time. Enlive Clear Liquid Nutrition ENLIVE! is a high-calorie, fat-free alternative to sweeter-tasting creamy supplements. ENLIVE! is an ideal choice...

    Dextrin According to the CFR, dextrin can be made from corn, potato, arrowroot, rice, tapioca or wheat. Major dextrin-producing companies in the US say they use corn. However, imported dextrin could be made from wheat. Maltodextrin When labeled as “maltodextrin” in the US, this ingredient must be made from corn, potato or rice but not wheat. Confusion com...

    I finally heard back from Dove Chocolates... In response to your email regarding DOVE CHOCOLATE. Thank you for your email. The ingredient statement on each wrapper is the best source for this information.

    This may sound crazy, but when I have and absolute craving that won't leave me alone I do this mental thing. I sit down and close my eyes and imagine I am eating whatever it is one delicious bite at a time, my brain must have a very good memory for tastes because when I do this I can actually smell it and taste it...sometimes it has seemed so real I'm actually...

    Is La Yogurt gluten free? Because even the smallest amounts of gluten may affect gluten-sensitive individuals, we avoid the term gluten free. Our La Yogurt Plain yogurts (Whole Milk, Low-fat and Fat-Free) are gluten safe in that they contain no gluten source ingredients. This leads me to believe that a product that claims to be "gluten safe" is not necessarily...

Because even the smallest amounts of gluten may affect gluten-sensitive individuals, we avoid the term gluten free. Our La Yogurt Plain...

    The two list above I requested by phone I'm pretty sure. I have been emailing and calling companies so much that it is hard to remember. But for the most part by phone they ask for your address so they can send you some coupons..so since they both sent coupons they must have been by phone. Otherwise they just ask for your email address. **edit** oops my...
