    I'm sorry it has been such a long time since I've checked this. How are things going?

    I realize this post is ancient, but I'm replying because it came up when I searched for Gluten Free Makeup on Google. For anyone else who comes across this, it absolutely does matter what you put on your face whether it's near your mouth or not. Anything that gets into your eyes can be ingested. Small particles can be washed into your sinuses and down...

    Yes, illness can trigger Celiac Disease. Testing is great if something shows up, but where gluten is concerned, negative results don't necessarily mean gluten is safe for him. The biggest thing to me is that his Dad has had such a positive response to going gluten free. Since it's genetic, and it won't hurt him, I'd be inclined to eliminate gluten and...

    Hi Dawn, If it were me, knowing what I know now, I would start eliminating gluten and forget everyone else. My bloodwork and biopsy were negative. Thankfully, I have a doctor who could see that one of my tests was pretty high within the normal range and recommended I give gluten-free living a try for 6 months to see what happened. I went that route...

    Regarding the anxiety, I have found that ingesting dairy causes me to feel like there is a black cloud over me and I want to cry. It's horrible! I, too, was told that I had a nervous stomach. Funny how I'm not quite so "nervous" without gluten and dairy in my diet. I wouldn't worry too much about what the average MD says about this particular issue...

    I have been loosely diagnosed gluten intolerant. All of my tests for Celiac Disease were negative, though I have responded profoundly positive to strict adherence to the total elimination of gluten from my diet. Since I've gone gluten-free, my mother and one of my aunts (mom's sister) has gone gluten free, and I have discovered that my cousin- same...

    Thanks for your reply, Kathy. Heinz verified that, too. November 20, 2009 Dear Esther, Thank you for visiting our web site. If the eight major allergens are in the natural flavorings and spices, they would be listed as an allergen. Thanks again for contacting us. We appreciate your interest.

    Okay, this is what I got from Heinz a few minutes ago: When I first went gluten-free, I contacted another company and gave them my list of foods to avoid and they willingly looked at their list and told me whether those things were in there. Apparently Heinz does not do business like that. Too bad for them!

    Thanks, both of you, for taking the time to respond. Michelle, shortly after I posted, I found this website - Open Original Shared Link - that says this in its condiments & misc. to avoid section: Heinz Worcestershire sauce, Lea & Perrins sauce, fermented soybean pastes (miso and natto). I, too, sent a message to Lea and Perrins, and I'll...

    The only thing I've had different tonight is Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. I have had everything else that we ate today before without a problem. I ate supper and a little while later started feeling that familiar beginning-of-a-long-night sensation in my stomach. I hate when that happens!! Does anyone know if the "natural flavors" listed...

    My Aunt has Down Syndrome. She was dx'd with schizophrenia some years ago and is on meds for it. Over the last several years, she has had several evaluations for dementia. A couple of months ago, she was put on Aricept to try to stop the progression of the dementia. It did not seem to make a diff at all, so they increased the dose. Meanwhile, she...

    I'm wondering what the difference is between masa and cornmeal. I've been using masa from the "International" aisle for cornbread and haven't had problems with that. Well, no problems except that my cornbread is usually a little dense, but then I have to cook and bake egg free as well. Not sure if it's the masa or the lack of eggs.
  13. Mrs. N
    Thank you!
  14. Mrs. N
    Does it make a difference if maltodextrin is derived from corn? I bought some NuStevia White Stevia Powder today thinking it was just plain Stevia. Well it isn't, and I am kicking myself for missing the other ingredients. TIA!
  15. Mrs. N
    I see! I will definitely give that a try. Stomach acid is an issue for me. Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me.
  16. Mrs. N
    I should've asked how it makes them more easily digested. Does it break down something in the beans, or does it add to a bodily function? It's not a big deal. It's interesting to me how things work.
  17. Mrs. N
    Thanks! I will make a note of that. Did you have to reduce other liquids when you used them mashed? I wonder what the baking soda does... ?

    I just made the best gluten-free bread I've ever made. Ever. I even took pictures, but I'm not sure if posting photos is allowed, so I'll just say it's the one Nov 15, '08 post on my blog which is linked to from my profile. It's truly a thing of beauty! I could hardly believe it didn't have the traditional egg-free dough core that is characteristic of my...

    The attitude of the waitress in the scenario - flippant, ignorant and put off by something she didn't seem willing to even try to understand - is why I almost never go out to eat anymore. No, the restaurant is not obligated to serve anyone, but it's their business to do so. They don't have to be accommodating, but giving even a rude customer the time of...

    I had heart palpitations, too, for a while, but I discovered recently that I have a problem with Canola oil. It is possible that you need some supplementation. Make sure you are getting enough nutrients and adequate levels of them. My son and I started taking a liquid multivitamin a couple of weeks ago. That seems to be helping, but I'm still having...

    I am very glad to read this thread just now. We need insurance problems slightly less than we need to remove one more food category from our menu.
  22. Mrs. N
    This is a great thread! I am so glad to read all of your stories. It's so nice to not be alone. I had a different condition that stumped the first couple of doctors that I saw, the first of which I had seen repeatedly for months. I am blessed, though, in that my doctor suggested celiac disease right off the bat. I was the one who told her it couldn't...
  23. Mrs. N
    What I'm wondering about is if gluten is getting stuck in the worn spots in the racks, or maybe it's not rinsing well and/or is getting spread onto everything via the swill splashing around. I do rinse everything well, but is it possible that gluten from previous washes is still in the dishwasher? Thanks for mentioning plastics. I think there are still...

    I have eaten things from embarrassment. Back in the days when it was "only" an allergy to several key ingredients in a lot of things, I took my kids to a friend's house to play with her kids. We stayed for lunch, as she had taken great measures to make something safe for me. As she was wrapping up preparations, she slathered my sandwich in mayo after I...
  25. Mrs. N
    I have been gluten-free for several months, but I have been dragging for the last three weeks or so for no apparent reason. Could I be getting glutened from the dishwasher that we put in a few weeks ago? My son has been gluten-free since July, about a month after me, and he has had a LOT of problems lately for no apparent reason. Please say it...
