    Thank you all for your input! I have some research to do. I did not even consider Boulder before.

    Originally posted in travel, but I thought it would get more hits here. Anyone know what cities (U.S.) are the safest for Celiacs? This includes safe options in restaurants, products offered in stores, labelling laws, public knowledge (of the disease), acceptance of the public/medical community, and promotion of general healthy living. I am sure I am...

    I am gluten intolerant and used to wake up with swollen lips and eyelids. They would remain puffy for the 1st half hour upon waking. Now that I don't eat gluten anymore, I no longer have those symptoms.

    I react to gluten-distilled alcohols. I don't know about whiskey or gin, but Smirnoff, Chopin, Ciroc, Pinnacle vodkas are gluten free. If you like rum as well, most are gluten free.

    Does anyone know if this product is gluten free? I stupidly bought a pint as it was on sale and I saw that it was vegan. I guess I had thought that I checked it out and found it safe, but the back label said that the sorbet was made on the same equipment as milk and wheat. Although it sounds like it is cc'ed, many manufacturers clean their equipment between...

    I don't know if my case counts, but I am gluten intolerant and experience fewer obvious symptoms the more often I eat gluten. If I have avoided gluten for a long time and accidentally consume it, I get gastrointestinal problems, bloating, fatigue, headaches, aches, depression, acne, inability to feel satiation from food, increased tolerance to alcohol, frequent...

    Anyone know if they are they gluten free? It would be nice to be able to avoid the expensive, gourmet stuff. I am particularly interested in their garlic powder, which I am currently out of. I am trying to make my own salad dressing...

    I tried an organic green juice drink from Whole Foods that was labeled "gluten free" but also contained wheat and barley grass. I thought it was safe, so I drank a small sample of it. About an hour later I had stomach cramps, bloating and essentially vomited out of my back side. I posted about it here a bit ago and was told by others that wheat grass does...

    Thanks. I should be more careful there. I often have silent symptoms, so I could be destroying my body and not even know it.

    I am casein intolerant and also just got hired as a barista. We use the same milk-steaming wands for soy and dairy milk. All we do in between uses is turn the hot steam nob, wipe it with a wet cloth, then steam it again. Prior to this, I used to go to Starbucks often got lattes and mochas. I have never felt great after these drinks but just attributed it...

    I followed the Trader Joe's gluten free list today. They said that all of their hummuses were gluten free except for the white bean ones, so I bought one that said it was made on shared equipment with wheat because the manager told me that they clean the equipment in between products. I am not sure, but I think I got glutened anyway. My friend who works there...

    I emailed Einstein Brothers and Intelligentsia (got some free bags of coffee from them), explained what gluten was, that I was allergic to it (people pay attention to allergies), and that I could have nothing that contained or even touched gluten. Both places verified that their coffee was gluten free. Is this a sufficient amount of information to safely...

    Thanks. I will do some contacting.

    What gluten ingredients should I be looking for that are most commonly added to these toiletries? My naturopath told me that most toiletries are NOT gluten free! I do not have DH, but am trying to be as cautious as I can in order to see if it improves my health. Any good gluten free brands out there? Cheap stuff is what I normally go for, but if this must...

    Does anyone know of any brands of coffee that are gluten free (I especially love vanilla, hazlenut and irish creme)? I love my coffee and cannot give it up. Thanks
