    I contacted the store manager and also the corporate office. The reply that I recieved came from the corporate office. I hope people understand that I am not upset that they label things as possible CC...ie: may contain traces of wheat. I am thankful for that information. The problem arises from them labeling products as gluten free and also may contain wheat...

    We use Blue Chip gluten-free Angel Food cake and we love it. It is one of favorite cakes. We have not used the gluten free pantry angel food cake, but have used other gluten free panty items and they are really good. But, we love this angel food cake. Here is the website: Open Original Shared Link Good luck. Sorry I don't have any info on the gluten free...

    Glutino Frozen Cheese Pizza's are really good. (especially if you don't have time to make one by scratch). Sometimes we will add ham/pineapple to the cheese pizza before we cook it. Will he eat cold pizza? My kids love cold pizza. Maybe you could cook it in the morning before school and send it with him and he could eat it cold. Maybe the teacher could...

    The problem is the misleading labeling of their products, not the fact that they list possible CC. No one disputes that it is a benefit that Wal-Mart labels things if it is "made in facility that contains wheat" or "may contain traces of wheat". The real issue is when they also put a "naturally gluten free food" or "gluten free" label on the front of the...

    Wal-Mart's reply to my complaint: Thank you for your message. Dear Darissa, Thank you for your contacting us regarding our Great Value hot sauce. We recognize the importance of labeling gluten-free products appropriately and apologize for the confusion caused when a secondary allergen warning is placed on a product labeled "gluten-free." It has come...

    Wal-Mart's reply to my compliant: I recieved this email today. I found many other products from the Great Value brand today that are labeled gluten free, but also states may contain wheat...that includes the pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce, diced tomatoes, tomatoe juice, tomatoe sauce. Be sure to check all of the label, not just the part that says gluten free...

    Progresso now has a gluten free french onion soup in the can. Make sure you check the can and it will say "gluten free" on the back of the can. My Fry's grocery store still has the old french onion soups that are not labeled gluten free, but my Walmart has the new Progresso soup that is labeled gluten free. They also have about 5 other new soups that are...

    I found more products labeled as "Naturally Gluten Free Food" or "Gluten Free" on the front of the label, but states "May contain traces of wheat" in the ingredient section under Allergy Warning. Why WHy WHY do they label prodcuts Gluten Free, but are not! My Great Value Tomatoe Juice, Diced Tomatoes, Tomatoe Sauce, Spaghetti Sauce all say gluten free, but...

    I had the same problem with WalMart today. I bought the Great Value brand of Louisiana Hot Sauce today and it said right on the front "Naturally Gluten-Free Food" but in the allergy statement under the ingredients it stated may contain traces of Wheat. I was really upset. I'm not sure what they mean by naturally gluten free, but I depend on labels, and they...

    I called Neutrogena with the lipstick in my hand from the store. They checked the particular color/kind that I had and it happened to be gluten free. They do not carry a list of gluten free cosmetics, but said that I could call them with a certian item and they would look it up for me. Good luck!

    I went to our local theater and asked to talk to the Manager over the food. They were very nice and allowed me to see the box of the popcorn/oil mixture that they use. I got the information off of the box and called the company the next day. I did find out that the popcorn my local theater uses is actually gluten free. We were very thankful!

    After my shopping trip today, I came home and checked many of my items from the Great Value brand. Many things are listed as "Naturally Gluten - Free Food" and none of them are single ingredient items..everything from the cottage cheese, parmesan cheese, worcestershire sauce, spray whipped cream and many more items. SO, I am not sure what they are meaning...

    I just returned from Wal-mart. I purhcased the Great Value brand Louisiana Hot Sauce. It states right on the front of the label "Naturally Gluten - Free Food", as do many of of their products. But, in the ingredient statement under Allergy Warning it states : May contain races of anchovies, peanuts, WHEAT and soy. I am so mad. We purchase many Great...

    We bring our own small piece of gluten-free bread for the Sacrament. We wrap it in saran wrap, and they place it on the tray. We sit in the same spot every week on the front row, so they know when they are passing the trays, to bring the one with the saran wraped piece of gluten-free bread to our row. We talked to our Bishop to get this approved, and he...

    My daughter has celiac disease also. We make rice krispie treats for her with EREWHON

    Thank you both for your great ideas about where to eat/shop while in Nashville. We are looking forward to our trip. It's only been just a year since we found out about my daughters celiac disease, and so traveling still worries me a little bit! So, thanks for the information!

    ARCHIVED Chipotle's

    Darissa replied to StacyA's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    We do NOT eat at Chipotles due to cross contaimination. They use their serving spoons to dish the meat/rice/beans onto the flour tortillas and when they do, they touch the flour tortillas with the spoon and place the spoon back into the container of food. So, even if they change their gloves and get new utensiles to dish up the food, the food is already...

    Right outside of Nashville is a great place that serves delicious gluten-free pizza Open Original Shared Link Support group for the area: Open Original Shared Link - they should have resources for you if you contact them. All the restaurants at the Opryland Hotel can feed you quite wonderfully, too. You can also find chains like Maggiano's and PF...

    ARCHIVED Pediatric Gi In Phoenix, Az

    Darissa replied to JYancey's topic in Doctors

    We see Dr. Mark McOmber from Phoenix Childrens Hospital. We have been with him for 1 1/2 years and he takes care of my 10 yo daughter who has celiac disease. I am not sure what he will require when it comes to test, but he has been wonderful with us. He spends as much time with you as needed and is very knowlegable. He has a dietician on staff that spent...

    ARCHIVED Recommend A Doctor In You State

    Darissa replied to a topic in Doctors

    Phoenix, AZ Pediatric GI Dr. Mark McOmber is a wonderful doctor. He is with Phoenix Childrens Hospital and he is very open minded and knows so much about Celiac Disease. He spends a lot of time with his patients. I would highly recommend him. He was determined to find out what was wrong my daughter (he was the one who Dx her with celiac disease). He...

    I have a 7 and 9 year old. A few of our favorite Gluten Free Food Items are: Pameals Pancake and Baking Mix (We use this in all of our old recipes...makes great pancakes and waffles and muffins) Envrio Kids Bars Corn Pasta (much better than rice...at least we all think so. We use Mrs. Leepers Corn Pasta and buy it at Walmart of all places or at Whole...

    My daughter was 9 when she was dx also. It does sound like a positive Dx for celiac disease according to her blood test. We did the biopsy right after we got the results of the blood test back before she went on a gluten-free diet. That way later on in life, there will be no question rather she has celiac disease or not. Also, it was nice to know about...
