    From this morning's Toronto Sun:

    Send a message to user "admin" with the desired new name. Only Scott can do this.

    Plain rice would be gluten-free. Most items with only one ingredient are safe, unless the ingredient is obviously a gluten source such as flour. 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...

    Hives are an allergic reaction. This is different from the autoimmune celiac reaction to gluten. It is possible to have celiac disease and also be allergic to wheat (or something else).

    This topic's "best before" date was about three years ago. I am closing it.

    I have never encountered bacon that was not gluten-free.

    I can't remember when I last used an ATM. I deal in person with the bank all the time, making cash deposits from the business.

    For me, a reaction to gluten begins within twelve hours. Many react more quickly. If I had a reaction three days after eating something, I would first look at what I ate in the 24 hours prior to the onset of symptoms.

    That is the case. You do not have a button to send yourself a message, but others see one to send you a message.

    Well, it is another Saturday at the store. Two women just had a lucky break. They had parked in our lot (we have 3 spaces) and left. After the car had been there over an hour, we called for a tag and a tow. The ticket was issued, but they came back about 2 minutes before the tow truck arrived. The minimum tow charge is $100, even if the driver has only...

    This topic is from almost five years ago, so much of the information in it may be out of date. Would you please list for us the names of the brands that have wheat as an ingredient. I have never seen one in over nine years of reading labels as a celiac. Products from shared facilities are common, and the risk of contamination is low. If you ever...

    My own symptoms went from bad to worse back to bad and so forth for years. I had good days, and I had bad days. Once I had a firm diagnosis, and went gluten-free, my bad days became fewer and fewer until there were none.

    It has been an honoUr and pleasure to serve as your monarch twice. Congratulations to my successor, Queen Janet. I have completed my term of office, a record 92 days, and hand over the keys to the royal palace.

    It is quite normal for all humans, whether celiac or not, to produce some gas as a result of the incomplete digestion of some complex carbohydrates. Certain foods are noted for producing larger amounts (think baked beans). But if you are reacting to fish in oil, that is likely a different issue.

    After eight months on a strictly gluten-free diet, I would also expect healing to be complete. The obvious question, to me, is are you sure you are not still getting gluten from somewhere on a regular basis?

    Wheat and oats are similar in many physical ways. The farmer will use the same harvesting equipment, transportation equipment, and so forth for oats as for wheat, and this continues all the way along the supply line. As a result, the oats are almost certain to be contaminated with wheat. The reverse is equally true: commercial wheat is contaminated with oats...

    Hmm. A recent careful examination of my personal equipment was conducted. The examiner did not find a discernable difference between the one on my left and the one on my right, but concluded that all my equipment was to her satisfaction.
  19. psawyer
    As do I.

    I agree. The existing label is honest and informative. I expect any "remedial action" will make it less so.
  21. psawyer
    It means "In my opinion."

    I am no expert on Lyme, but it defintely can be treated. I know that antibiotics are a common treatment. Perhaps one of our members with more Lyme awareness will add more.
  23. psawyer
    Respectfully, many people with confirmed Lyme disease have no recollection of ever having been bitten. Don't cast it aside just because you don't remember a perceptible bite.

    I'm puzzled by this, but for a different reason. The term "naturally gluten-free" is supposed to be used for situations where it is an inherent trait of the food. Potatoes are naturally gluten-free, as there is only one ingredient and it does not contain gluten. Another way of saying it is to say "these potatoes, like all potatoes, are gluten-free." You can...

    I certainly don't.
