    Yes, I used to think all wines are gluten-free, but I don't believe that's the case any longer. However, I did write to Barefoot Cellars because I really like those wines (cheap, but good) even though I've never had a problem, and this is what I received back: Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate your interest in Barefoot Cellars. In response to...

    Love Costco, so I'll look there. Thanks for the idea!

    Does anyone have any suggestions about brands of ready-made crab meat to use? I know that many kinds of packaged imitation crab meat has wheat in it.

    Mary's Gone Cracker...they're awesome and super cheap at Costco. I know they'll probably take them away soon (because they seem to do that to many products I like ). I'm not sure how it is nationwide, but in my Costco in Chicago, they have rotisserie chicken that clearly says on the label "no gluten." I've eaten them many times, and I've never had...

    I've been eating these little by little over the last two weeks, and I haven't noticed any problems. But if you're worried, I'd give TJ's a call.

    So sorry you're going through this! I got glutened this winter, and to make matters worse, I got the flu at the same time. I was sick for two months straight. But the real kicker was that I was going through a personally stressful time. They've done recent studies on how stress can make allergic reactions worse (Open Original Shared Link), and I'm sure...

    I have had alopecia areata (spot balding), which is an autoimmune disease, since I was 17. I lost it all almost completely for about two years before I went gluten-free. Then I found out about celiac disease went on a gluten-free diet and after a period of healing, it almost all came back. I still struggle with the alopecia (I'm 30 now) even though I'm still...

    They answered it as honestly as they are required to answer it. The ATF jurisdiction on alcohol is the reason why wine companies don't have to list the allergens (like fish or egg that has been used to fine it) that it contains on the label as do food companies now have to. But you're right that if alcohol beverage companies don't have to disclose what...

    Well, Capt. Morgan got back to me, and I don't really like their response: "Thank you for taking time to contact Captain Morgan. Your feedback is important to us. In regards to your inquiry, please be advised that our non-flavored rums are considered gluten free, however our flavored malt beverages are not. We value loyal consumers such as yourself...

    Does anyone else have any problem with the Spiced Rum? I'm trying to get recent confirmation with them (something else other than postings from 2006), but I haven't had any luck. I've recently had some outbreaks of DH and I'm wondering if this is the cause.

    I agree. So many times I've been in the store and had to go with a higher price item becaue I'm scared of the cheaper house brand (except when I'm in a Walmart Supercenter...God bless Great Value products). But even though I might be spending more for some groceries, I usually come back to the same conclusion, that spending a little more now has saved me...

    I don't take thyroid meds, but I think I identified what happened...I drank some Rice Dream last Fri. and Sat. and the topic of that having barley traces in it just came up in the forum (coincidentally, since I've never had the stuff before). So I think that did it, but the DH troubles continued into yesterday, so I didn't know if it was something else too...

    Completely second that! We had a gluten-free BBQ over 4th of July, and she accomodated our order of gluten-free hot dog and hamburger buns. It made it so special!

    I'm trying to figure out how long it takes for a possible gluten-ingestion to turn into a DH outbreak. Does anyone have a specific time they know of when they react to gluten through DH? I've been having trouble with my DH spot (on my fingers and palms), and I don't know what's causing it. I cut out iodine salt last year, which (I think) made the outbreaks...

    I haven't been tested for low Vitamin D, but this past winter I was sick for almost two months (really tired, I generally didn't feel good and was losing hair), and I thought some kind of light exposure might perk me up (I live in Chicago). So I started indoor tanning, and right away I noticed a difference. My health grew stronger, and sixth months later...

    I totally have that trouble. I, too, think it's probably a good thing that they warn us about any ounce of cc possibility, but how much do we take that chance anyway on products that don't have the cc warning on their label? In a way the label confirms what we know we don't know. But speaking as someone who was once a very harsh Wal-Mart critic, I...

    I'm going on vacation to Wis. and I'm planning on taking a tour of Sprecher Brewing Company, located near Milwaukee. They make two gluten-free beers, plus all their "gourmet" sodas are gluten-free.

    Hi there, I'm late with this as well, but wanted to chime in on the wonderful things happening with gluten-free menus in Chicago-area restaurants. Of course, there's your PF Changs and Wildfire, both have separate menus. Chipotle is downtown, but make sure you have the people making your burrito bowl put on fresh gloves. Also, the Flat Top Grill is in...
