About Me

Gluten allergic, even a speck causes serious cognitive difficulties :unsure: for 9 days. Then can't stay on task, think clearly, reason, :blink: remember appointments or names or directions or words. Nor can I perform simple cognitive tasks :( (such as addition) after being glutened. I've been known to spend hours trying to locate where I parked. <_<

Am blessed to live in Seattle where we have several natural health groceries, fresh food co-ops, and farmer's markets in virtually every neighborhood.

Now an integrative healer of animals and people, I was a high school English teacher for 20 years.

    August 24, 2011 On their site, Jack in the Box lists their ingredients (as of Aug 24, 2011), which is marginally helpful as long as you know the chemical forms of hidden gluten. Note, however, the company does not say which ingredients might have come down gluten-contaminated production lines at their source. Cross-contamination in the restaurant could...

    It would be so helpful if we each CAPITALIZED or ENLARGED THE DATE OF OUR POSTS, as the posts from several years ago are often inaccurate today. Unless a post is very recent, we just cannot assume it is true anymore. In fact, when I contact companies, I often learn old posts are not accurate. JUNE 24, 2011 I received this response today from Ghirardelli...

    As of 6/10/2011, the Bumble Bee products are suspect until further notice. I just visited the company web site and on their FAQ page the question of gluten is addressed like this: "Most of our products are gluten free." But I can't find out which ones are safe to eat unless I write to them, because their contact info doesn't even include a phone number...

    McCormick spices/extracts company does NOT guarantee to identify gluten, as of January 18, 2011 per their web site. The first two sentences make no sense after you read the last two sentences. Quote: None of our single ingredient spices and herbs contain gluten. In addition, all of our extracts, including Pure Vanilla, are gluten-free. Some of our products...

    This list was last updated 9/14/2010: Open Original Shared Link Strattera is listed as gluten free on that site. I don't know who puts out the list or how reliable it is. If anyone knows that, I'd like to find out. Thanks, Leslie

    I spoke with Safeway about their Safeway and Select brands today (which I find quite good), on 11/6/2009. The rep said gluten is one of the highest priority allergen labeling issues at Safeway. "If gluten is in there, it will be on the ingredient list," he said. He also offered to fax or email a list of their gluten-free store brand items within 24 hours...

    I take melatonin nightly (less than 3 mg, however, or I get a headache) and have for over a year with no known problems. I have more than one autoimmune disorder, but it seems to be fine. I buy a brand without gluten in the coating, however!

    I got this email response 3/11/2009: Thank you for contacting us with your question. We appreciate the opportunity to provide information regarding grain derived ingredients in Colgate Palmolive products. We do not intentionally add gluten to the following Colgate Palmolive products. However, we cannot guarantee that the ingredients used are not exposed...

    Unilever at Ragu sent me the following response on 3/10/2009: Thanks for writing! Common ingredients that may contain gluten are rye, wheat, oats and barley, and noodles and pasta prepared with any of the previously mentioned grains. HVP, TVP, flavorings, are likely to contribute gluten as well, however, if they contain any gluten, the source would...

    I contacted Aveeno.com (a Johnson and Johnson web site) specifically about their Aveeno Ultra-calming Foaming Face Wash and asked it if contained oats (like most Aveeno products). Here is their response: In regard to your inquiry, we do not have a list of products that do or do not contain the ingredient you mentioned. If there are specific products...

    3.3.2009 Red Robin will now print out a list of all gluten free options (updated monthly) for gluten free patrons. Their salmon burger in lettuce instead of bun is great! Be sure they leave the seasoning off those yummy fries!

    This is cross-posted from another web site and dated Nov. 7, 2007. I contacted the Lindt company when i couldn't get direct information from them off their web site. Lindt chocolate is not gluten free. "Thank you for your response. Our products are not Gluten free because we use Barley Malt in all of our cocoa for the chocolate. We need our malt in...

    Pacifica - on 2-26-09 - wrote me that all their products are gluten-free. Pacifica makes perfumes (solid and liquid), soaps, and candles - and they smell wonderful! I get them at Whole Foods, but Pacifica also has a web site. I did not ask whether they contain nuts.

    Open Original Shared Link This is a helpful list. I checked it on 2/25/2009 and it was updated in late 2008. It names companies that claim all their products are gluten-free, and it lists products that are gluten-free, and it lists products that are questionable because of their ingredients.
