    All gluten comes from grains, but not all grains have gluten. Safe grains include corn, rice and quinoa.

    Allergic To Spouse?

    psawyer replied to Ms.T's topic in Doctors

    This topic has come up for discussion several times, and the consensus is that semen is gluten-free.

    The single word "starch," when listed as an ingredient, is corn starch. If it is from any other source it will identify the source, such as "potato starch," or will be labeled with some other word, as in "food starch."

    The list may now be incomplete, but none of those companies have discontinued their label policy. In the time I have been involved, only one company has changed from "trusted" labels to a crap shoot, and that is Hershey.

    This will be good news for those seeking organic foods. Meat is gluten-free regardless of what the animal from which it came was fed.

    Hello, Lindsey, and welcome to the board. Try these links for useful information: Unsafe ingredients. Safe ingredients. Open Original Shared Link If you don't see "wheat, rye, barley, barley malt, oats" on the labels, its not there, or hidden in "flavors, starches, etc." Always read the label.

    Yes, it is gluten-free and safe for us.
  9. psawyer
    Yes, without any doubt. Corn is gluten-free, and ingredients derived from it are gluten-free.

    NO company with a legal department is going to "guarantee" the gluten-free status of anything anymore. I view these statements as legal disclaimers of liability, and use the products.

    ARCHIVED Readers Digest

    No. There is no essential nutrient that is missing from a properly balanced gluten-free diet. The gluten-free diet is not dangerous.

    Beaucoup, je pense. (L'autre lange officielle du Canada.)

    Sweeping generalizations are always suspect. I am sure that there are some canned meat products with gluten in them, and that there are also many that are gluten-free. Read the label carefully.

    Different labs, and different specific tests, measure differently. It is not possible to interpret your lab results without knowing the reference ranges for the test that the lab did. If you have the full lab report, those reference ranges will appear next to the tested values. The celiac panel consists of one or more tests for antibodies in the blood...

    Yeast extract is gluten-free, whether autolyzed or not. Sometimes yeast that has been used in the process of making beer is used as a flavor. This will be labeled "brewer's yeast," and must be avoided.

    I kept wondering Who would be on at half-time. Half-time sounds like a wage issue. I know what double time is, and time-and-a-half. We enjoyed the show, even though Pete and Roger looked old. I am old.
  17. psawyer
    Loved it! And I am even older.

    Folks, let's keep to the original topic. It is getting personal, and that is not appropriate.

    So I hear there is some big sports event in the US today. I have watched the NFL from time to time, and find it just a bit more exciting than watching paint dry. Up here in Canada, the commercials will consored replaced with Canadian ones. But maybe the half-time show will be interesting if I can catch it. Okay, here's my pick for the winners. As always...

    Not all Kraft dressings are gluten-free, but most of them are. There are a couple with gluten. I seem to recall one of the ranch styles has gluten. Kraft has an excellent gluten disclosure policy. If gluten is present in a Kraft product, the grain will be named in the ingredient list. If you don't see any of the words barley, rye, wheat or oats, then there...

    MSG is controversial, but is definitely gluten-free. It is not an issue with respect to celiac disease. Maltodextrin is also gluten-free. Please note that this topic is more than four years old, so some information may be out of date.

    If by "maze" you mean maize, that is corn and it is gluten-free. Some people are intolerant to corn, but that is an issue distinct from celiac disease.
  23. psawyer
    Perhaps this would be a good time to define "gluten." The scientific definition of "gluten" is the protein from a grain. So, by that definition, all grains contain "gluten." As the term is generally used, it refers to a subset of grain proteins, specifically those found in wheat, rye and barley. Some include oat protein, others don't. Celiacs react...

    No snow here. Sunny and cold. Brrrr! But naught to shovel!

    Jason, for now, stick to things that are simple and do not raise questions. Give your body a chance to heal. Then, slowly, introduce new foods, one at a time. For me, oats would be the last thing I would try. I don't know if I am in the 10%. I have not eaten anything with oats in almost ten years. I can eat most foods that are processed, as long as they...
