    I am highly sensitive and find that I cannot use Trader Joe's products if they are processed in a factory or on a line that also processes wheat. Toothpaste: So far, I do best with Colgate Fluroride Cavity Protection formula. I have had to eliminate other brands, Sensodyne included. I have also stopped using Colgate Total.

    Good info! Thank you, Peter.

    You raise a valid point. I often worry about "silent celiacs" -- those who do not show symptoms of having celiac disease. I worry that when they eat such foods, their upper villi may become damaged, but because they do not show any symptoms, they do not know it. Worse yet, if they do not have a doctor who regularly checks bloods levels, run additional...

    Thank you for posting this.

    Has your doctor ordered a blood draw to check for vitamin levels? I had no Vit. D in my body, and I got so bad that I couldn't even carry a lightweight, tiny little wallet shoulder purse. The only way I can explain the exhaustion I felt: I was like being pregnant times 100. It was really intense. I was taking vitamins, too, but my body wasn't absorbing...

    YIPES! Hand sanitizer isn't gluten free? What brands ARE?

    From what I have been told, you definitely need to use a self-cleaning oven. If you have a friend who owns one, you might want to ask for a favor. I've read that it can be messy -- some folks suggest that you warn the friend and offer to help clean. Like you, I do not have a self-cleaning oven. I haven't asked anyone to help me clean my cast iron...

    Thank you for posting this! For me, I do better with products that promise a dedicated line OR products that are certified gluten-free. Shared lines just don't work for me.

    I wonder if any of it has to do with just how much gluten you've eaten? The higher the level of gluten, the stronger the symptoms, perhaps?

    Kitchenaid Mixer: Does anyone know how to scrub it down to make sure that it is okay to use? An old Kitchen Aid doesn't have to be replaced; does it?

    I react to Nut Thins, which makes me sad because they are so good. I have tried to eat them a couple of times (once on a completely empty stomach), and reacted each time.

    I haven't really found anything. I usually increase my water, but I'm not sure if it helps. Time heals all, as they say. I hope if anyone else has a solution they will post here. Going through a "Goodyear Blimp" week is no fun!

    You bet they can. I can totally relate, as I'm sure countless others here can, too. I went through the same thing. At my last GIG meeting, someone mentioned that it is also very common to go through a six-month slump where you feel your body isn't adjusting . . . and you feel as though you're getting glutened by cc, or by everything you eat, or that...

    For me, this has been a lot like going through the stages of the Kübler-Ross model of dealing with grief: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance . . . Open Original Shared Link Except, I'm no where near acceptance yet. There are days when I think I am, but I'm just fooling myself. I am not there yet. Weight, too, has been an issue....

    Spices: If you wish to make your own spiced tea, or if you are worried about spices in general: For a certified gluten-free source of spices which are available in bulk at really good prices, check Open Original Shared Link I just found this site today and am very excited about it. Hope this helps.

    I was looking for what seemed forever, too. I was so happy to find this thread. I hope you will let us know here how you like the beans. Enjoy!
  17. Lynayah
    Thanks for the thanks! I've been bopping around there and ended up ordering some gluten-free spices from Spicely.com at amazing prices -- like, $8 to $15 on average for A POUND of gluten free, organic spice! Wow - even with the hefty $15 shipping charge, it's a great bargain. It looks as though they charge the same shipping price no matter how much...

    Thank you for the Rancho Gordo tip! Update: After reading about Rancho Gordo here, I ordered beans from them, and I am in heaven. I am able to eat them without a problem and they are delicious. The pinto and black beans are particularly good -- lots of varieties there to experiment with. I also bought the Rancho Gordo cookbook HEIRLOOM BEANS by Steve...

    There is an excellent article on labeling, and getting glutened, in this month's issue of LIVING WITHOUT. Open Original Shared Link

    Great link . . . surprised to see that peaches now outweigh apples!

    Gluten Free Living looks great, thank you. Does anyone here have a link to a discount? I would love to get both this and Living Without for $20, but I cannot find it anywhere. I am loathe to admit that I just re-subscribed to Living Without, by itself, for more than $20. Ouch! The current book price for Gluten-Free Living is way beyond my budget...

    Great post.
  23. Lynayah
    That is very interesting. Around the holidays, I had a HORRIBLE time with my ears ringing. I was eating gluten-free (or trying to, anyway!), but I was also indulging in more sweets than usual, as well as more processed gluten-free foods. I had a definite increase in ringing. I was also very sick for a time. I thought it might have been because I...

    GREAT comment. I agree that what goes on (or around) the fruit is a definite issue. I've started buying organic whenever possible, and I feel so much better doing so. So, I guess you might say I am equally worried about both issues . . . with organic being No. 1. I do not know if it is my imagination, but I really do believe that I do MUCH better...

    Thank you for your excellent post. I agree. Still, I want to know more. With my journalism background, I just can't help it. I'm really interested in exploring this sticker thing -- everything from Post-It Notes to fruit stickers. In addition to exploring at celiac.com, I am in the processes of contacting FDA, etc. But, as many...
