I have been (mostly) gluten free for the last 6 months, and before that have been gluten free for about a year and a half. I first started when my daughter had slightly above normal blood tests (but nothing showed on her endoscopy). So we both did Enterolab testing and hers was pretty high (50), while mine was a 20 on a scale starting at 10 being normal...

ARCHIVED Suave Lotion
jjc replied to jjc's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thanks for the quick reply! I bought suave cocoa butter lotion and don't see anything that mentions wheat, so it must be okay! Good to know! -
Is Suave lotion gluten free? I thought I'd heard that all suave products are okay, but I just want to make sure

Just a quick question. I couldn't find a recent topic on Kool Aid, so I thought I'd ask again. Does Kool Aid contain gluten? I know that it's made by Kraft, but I did notice maltodextrin on the ingredient list. Is it safe?

ARCHIVED Andy Capp's Hot Fries?
jjc posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Just wondered if anyone knows if Andy Capp's hot fries are gluten free. I know that they used to contain hydrolyzed wheat gluten , but while I was at the grocery store today, I decided to read the ingredients label out of curiosity, and I didn't see any wheat ingredients listed. The label now says "contains milk". So..does anyone know if these are safe now... -
ARCHIVED James' Salt Water Taffy
jjc posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My mother just brought a box of James' brand Salt Water Taffy back from the Atlantic City boardwalk. Anyone ever had it before or know if it's gluten free? The allergen info says.. ALLERGY INFORMATION: Our production facilities share common processing equipment. All of our products may contain traces of the following: Peanuts, Soybeans, Milk, Eggs, and... -
ARCHIVED Yoplait Frozen Smoothies
jjc posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Just saw that Yoplait has created a frozen smoothie product that is sold in the frozen section of grocery stores. Does anyone know if these are gluten free? The ingredients seem okay, but I haven't eaten any yoplait products since before I went gluten free. Has anyone tried these? -
I will be going on vacation tomorrow, and was wondering if Dramamine is gluten free, and safe for me to take. We will be driving for about 9 hours, so it would certainly help to cut back on the car sickness.

Thanks for the info about fructose malabsorption! I may look into getting tested for it!

ARCHIVED Kettle Cusine Frozen Soups
jjc replied to homemaker's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've only had the chicken noodle, but I thought it was pretty good, especially with schar crackers in it! I had a box of the chilli in my freezer as well, an das I was about to go eat it, I decided to read the label again and right under the ingredients, it said "manufactured in a facility that contains gluten." I decided it wasnt' worth the risk, so... -
I have been gluten free for a year and am doing pretty well, but I've noticed in the last couple of months that I have problems whenever I eat anything sweet (even fruit). What kinds of test can my doctor run to determine what kinds of sugar I can eat? I hate the thought of not eating ANY sugar at all. Aren't fruits supposed to be healthy sugar and not give...

ARCHIVED Barr Laboratories Brand Azithromycin
jjc posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello-- I was just diagnosed with a possible sinus infection and was prescribed Barr Laboratories brand Azithromycin 250 mg tablets. The pharmacy at my doctors office as well as the company said that the tablets do not contain gluten. Has anyone else taken these before and had any problems. I haven't taken them yet, and wanted to make sure before I do... -

ARCHIVED Food Should Taste Good Brand Chips
jjc posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hello-- I just bought two bags of Food Should Taste Good chips, and before I go and eat them, I wanted to make sure they are 100 percent gluten free and safe to eat! I noticed that a few varieties had oat fiber listed as an ingredient, which makes me wonder! I'd love to hear feedback from anyone who has tried this brand! -

ARCHIVED Healthy Choice Soups. Are They Not Okay?
jjc posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just read a post from Sept. 2008, and the poster said that all Healthy Choice soups were NOT gluten free. I was just wondering what the status on the soups are at this moment, because I'm in college right now, and have very few food options, aside from the possibility of this soup. Thanks in advance! -
ARCHIVED Michael Seasons Products--which Ones Are Safe?
jjc posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm currently away at college, and brought a bag of original Michael Seasons potato crisps with me, and wanted to double check that they are safe before I eat them! They say wheat free and gluten free on them, but the nutrition info says nothing about the lines they're made on. Does anyone know if these are completely gluten-free and if they're made on gluten... -
ARCHIVED Colonoscopy Question
jjc posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
My daughter was diagnosed by some stool testing, but she is finally going to have her first colonoscopy to see what's up officially down there.....however, she hasn't had gluten in a whole year. She's HAS been accidentally glutened several times in the past couple of months, but she is currently on a gluten free diet. In a year she's probably healed... -
ARCHIVED Talking To University Department
jjc replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Well that's just the thing - in the spring we did send the college her medical information,with gluten clearly listed under the allergies, along with her dietician's letter and even her Enterolab test results. It's not that they think she doesn't have it, it's that they think they can take care of her. I feel so bad for her today. Because they took her... -
ARCHIVED Talking To University Department
jjc replied to Googles's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My daughter is dealing with this issue tonight - after only one day at school as a new college freshman. They told her their french fry fryer was dedicated, but she still got really sick and at this time they are taking her to the hospital because she can't stand the pain. They would NOT let us opt out of the food plan because they said "we can feed...
