ARCHIVED Dr. Oz Today Is gluten-free Stuff
kareng replied to 1974girl's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Just take it with a grain of salt ( as the old saying goes). Both Dr Oz and E. Hasselbeck have reported old urban myths as true. I think one of thier favorites is that envelopes have wheat glue ( myth) -
ARCHIVED Overwhelmed Mom!
kareng replied to CeliacMOM78's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think you missed the point that both Peter & I were making. Kraft and Con- Agra ( Hunts is one of thier products) will always list gluten. The only vinegar you need to worry about would say malt vinegar. These 2 companies would clearly mark that in the ingredients. -
ARCHIVED Ugh Dr Is Frustrating!
kareng replied to tinab3girls's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Who knows! She could have been reading some sort of instructions for the labe. Get a copy of it. Read it for yourself. Edited: Just saw you are getting a copy. If you still feel bad, make an appointment with the doctor. This sounds like you might get a call back but likely they will forget about it. -
ARCHIVED Hello From Kansas
kareng replied to gluten-enemy's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hey! Welcome! I'm in Kansas, too ( KC area). Why wouldn't they give you a blood test for Celiac? If you go gluten-free & then take the test, it won't be valid. Maybe you could get a dermatologist to biopsy next to the active lesions to test for DH ( the skin version of Celiac). Have they tested you for things like thyroid, iron, B 12, vitamin... -

ARCHIVED Overwhelmed Mom!
kareng replied to CeliacMOM78's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Isn't it funny how happy we can get about something as silly as Ketchup? Kraft and Con- Agra are companies that will fully disclose any gluten in the ingredients. They make brands that only sayCon-Agra or Kraft in the small print on the back. Like Hunts is a Con- Agra product. There are a few others but I can't find the list? -
You can't make claims like this without legitimate scientific evidence. Most people are lactose intolerant, at least at first, because the tips of the villi digest lactose. Spice companies will take issue with you accusing them of violating the FDa labelling laws by not disclosing the ingredients. Wheat flour would be a bad anti- clumping agent because...

Just remember that "Gluten free" in pet food is not the same definition as it is in human food. A gluten free dog food can have oats, rye or barley. The gluten usually refers to a junk additive made of corn, wheat or even plastic.

Google has a black rectangle over the Google logo. You know, one of those ones the TV sometimes put over naked pics of some celebrity to cover the whole point of the story.

ARCHIVED Any Advice On Getting Prescriptions Filled Safely?
kareng replied to srall's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
For anyone else reading this.... DO NOT TAKE THE MEDICINE HOME UNTIL YOU ARE SURE IT IS gluten-free! If you take it home & then call the manufacturer, you cannot return it & get your money back. Your insurance will not pay for a second medication when they just gave you one. IF it is a pain killer, you likely can't get another because of laws... -

ARCHIVED Outdoor Temperature Today?
kareng replied to love2travel's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
It was 67F here in KC yesterday. Today it's 28 with wind chill of 15. That's normal but we have been have lots of warmer days lately. Supposed to be in the 50 s by the weekend. -
I would go to another one. My dentist doesn't know what is gluten-free but his hygienists are the ones that have that info. Most everything they use is. Maybe not the stuff they make molds with but I haven't had to have that.

ARCHIVED Canyon Bakehouse Products
kareng replied to LabyrinthRunner13's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We took the foccacia and sliced it. I brushed olive oil on both sides of each slice & put it back together like the loaf. Wrapped in foil and heated in the oven. So good! My gluten eaters loved it. I like the San Juan bread. -
ARCHIVED Kinda Don't Know What To Do
kareng replied to Gfresh404's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My son is a college freshman. He lives in the dorm so that has helped him meet a girl or 2. I'll pretend I haven't heard the part about hooking up from you or my son, J. I want to live in denial. He is meeting most of the girls he likes in activities. A hiking group, at the student gym, a group that volunteers to help with a mentally disabled adult... -
I'm going to get this tattooed - all that's evil, is not gluten. Could be another reason it didn't agree with you? Stop eating out of shared fryers! Even if you don't feel bad, it can still be damaging you and making antibodies.

ARCHIVED New T Fal Cookware Set Is Evil

I'm wondering, did we find out if these are Teflon? Her previous pans were not. Maybe it's the Teflon that bothers her? -
ARCHIVED New T Fal Cookware Set Is Evil
kareng replied to Newtoitall's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
You could use the old pans. Just scrub with vinegar or baking soda or Barkeepers Friend. They are just plain metal not a Teflon coating. Boil Water in them for a while and pour it out. -
I have heard that the lactose is sort of " eaten up" to make yogurt. But I don't have this problem so I just found this. Open Original Shared Link Yogurt made with active and live bacterial cultures is a good source of calcium for many people with lactose intolerance. When this type of yogurt enters the intestine, the bacterial cultures convert...
