Ok the wonderful guy who runs the glutenfreedrugs.com site got back to me before anyone else (including the manufacturer). In case anyone else here ever ends up in this situation, the magic answer is : Corn Starch. They use corn starch, not wheat starch. Also, the company annoyingly refuses to say it's gluten-free just because they don't want to officially...

Loryna – a generic form of Yaz – was what I recently got at my new pharmacy when I went to pick up my Yaz (which is gluten-free). It's not listed on the glutenfreedrugs.com site, and I can not find anything online about its gluten-free status. The manufacturer's website leaves a number and email to contact them to find out ingredients of any medicine the...

I can barely stop myself from sending out a vaguely threatening email about hunting down the culprit, but I won't. I will not. It's hard but I won't do it. The magic kitchen fairy wants revenge so bad, though! ("magic kitchen fairy" made me LOL) But I'm restraining myself for now, and for as long as I can.. I'll just take a lot more protective measures...

I think I may start doing something similar! At least try it out and see if I have fewer 'swelly bellies'. It's a pain, but so is gluten!

Ok, so the problem comes down to: My office mates are kind of slobs. I think some of them take great pride in that! We share a set of metal utensils, coffee mugs, glasses and a set of ceramic plates/bowls in our kitchen, because that's supposed to be much more 'green' than using disposables. Every day, a huge pile of barely-rinsed (sometimes not rinsed) utensils...

Wow, good to know! Yeah I am a spicy-food addict. I'll have to tell people not to be afraid to spice it up! So long as all their spices aren't pre-blended with flour or something odd, I don't see why that should be a problem. But yeah, it's one of those things you don't even think you'll need to tell people, seems so obvious to us! I've had people tell me...

Richard, thank you for soothing me and talking me off the ledge, so to speak! That's awesome news. I love all of those things - jambalaya, cornmeal, and seafood on its own. Hooray!

Ok I was watching the Travel Channel, and couldn't help but notice that Every. Single. Dish. in this show about Louisiana cooking was either battered or cooked in a roux. At some point the host even said you can't cook anything here if you can't make a roux.I admit it, I cried. I was entertaining this fantasy that some day I could visit this land and eat...

I can definitely relate

That's a tough one. When I get glutened I have a different kind of reaction, one that I've learned over time to recognize. To me it sounds like your daughter reacted the way she does to gluten, but it also sounds like her typical reaction also closely mimics a stomach virus

Skylark, I just found this entry you posted. I have a friend with Hashimoto's who recently asked me whether my celiac is a TH1 or TH2-dominant disease. I keep getting sick, so she was helpfully suggesting I should know whether, say, echinacea is going to do more harm or good! My mind was blown – here was something that no doctor had ever breathed a word o...

I'm pretty much chained to my desk during the day at work, and sometimes I get headaches. Recently someone restocked our first aid stuff with CareOne brand acetaminophen tablets (white tablets, not gelcaps). No info on the bottle about inactive ingredients, and no info on the company's website. Whoever got these tossed the box it came in. Does anyone happen...

Before going gluten-free, yes, I had some trouble breathing

Wow. That would explain a lot. :-/

Only time I've been duped by queso
