    Please continue reading after the next quote. The male does best by himself. Another male will antagonize him; hence the sobriquet "fighting fish." The most common cause of disease and death in this fish is overfeeding. We feed ours five to six tiny pellets on odd-numbered days. Keeping the water between 78 an 80F is also good advice....

    This revived thread is almost four years old. During that time, this topic has been discussed repeatedly and at great length. I think that every possible opinion has been presented more than once. The doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church is what it is. Whether it is right or wrong is for each individual to decide for him/herself. I don't think that...

    We will be seeing more and more of this. Everybody is worried about lawsuits and everybody is wanting to avoid taking responsibility for the ingredients they buy from somebody else. They are not "blaming" suppliers, they are just making sure that they do not become responsible (legal liability) for someone else's mistake.

    Tomato sauce, mushrooms, green peppers, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni (gluten-free of course), green olives, bacon, all on a gluten-free crust from Sterk's.

    Crest and Colgate are gluten-free. I don't know about other brands.

    My own experience is that I have never encountered a prescription drug, whether generic or brand-name, that has gluten. Your pharmacy should be able to contact the manufacturer of any drug they sell and ask the question. Typically, the generics follow the identical formula, including "inactive" ingredients, that the original name brand uses. The patent will...

    Certain vegetables? Hmmm. An interesting image is forming in my mind about cuc...never mind.

    I looked up the actual regulation, and in addition to corn and potato, rice is also permitted to be labeled simply as "maltodextrin." "USA Code of Federal Regulations Sec. 184.1444 Maltodextrin CAS Reg. No. 9050-36-6. It is a nonsweet nutritive saccharide polymer that consists of D-glucose units linked primarily by [alpha]-1-4 bonds and has a dextrose...

    I think this is a case of the rule being misunderstood: What this means is that the single word "maltodextrin" when listed as an ingredient must be from corn or potato. It does not prohibit the use of another source, provided that source is disclosed, as in "wheat maltodextrin."

    Susie, my heart goes out to you.
  11. psawyer
    Sure, I believe you.

    Em, I see your user name in italics. Hmmm.
  13. psawyer
    Others have already responded, but since you asked me directly, the others are correct. The member whose name is italicized is composing a reply in the current thread. Now, as to your other ideas, perhaps you could try composing a reply while naked and I'll see how your name appears at the time. You'll have to let me know when you do it, and what other...

    Stef, I am so bummed to hear this. I can't add any useful information beyond what is already here, but I hope you and Lukas can get clear and away from the creep. Please let us know how things go.

    Hey sillies, I'm still around. My portable is still acting up, but I have determined a definite pattern to the problems and will be talking to the service tech again on Monday. In the meantime, the cats have been leaving me alone while I read here. Canadian hooch talk explained for you Yankees: The term "mickey" refers to a half-bottle of liquor...

    As a fellow moderator, I agree with Richard. This is a topic area where rational discussion does not take place--just arguments from firmly set minds. If the "lock topic" option were available, I would use it here and now. Like Richard, this is my opinion and does not reflect the position of the celiac.com or the other moderators.

    Gluten is not present in any pure muscle tissue, that is, meat. It is generally accepted that cow's milk as purchased in a package is gluten free. There has been some discussion about the possibility of gluten passing into breast milk, but I don't think it has been conclusively established either way. Some lactating mothers avoid gluten to avoid taking...

    Well, Em, you may have scared some people away from here, but not me. Or, maybe it is Gus that scares them--look at those teeth. Anyhow, here I am. Amanda, I hope it gets better as the days go by. I have my portable computer back. No parts replaced, just a bad connection fixed up. I'm still having occasional problems, but they are pointing to a...

    There may be some trace gluten in breast milk if the lactating mother is eating gluten. Saliva can be externally contaminated from residue of gluten-containing food in the mouth, so deep kiss with care. Other than that, the fluids naturally produced by the body do not contain gluten.

    Gee, the La Messagere I can buy here at the goverment monopoly liquor store is only 4.7%. What gives? Maybe I should move back to Ottawa!

    I don't see any gluten disclosed on the US ingredient list. It is my understanding that they will clearly label gluten ingredients in both the US and Canada. The Canadian ingredient list for condensed chicken with rice: Chicken broth, rice, seasoned chicken, carrots, salt, chicken fat, potato starch, water, celery, monosodium glutamate, chicken flavour...

    No, I don't think it is insane. Failure to grow is a symptom of celiac in children. I think you are the second from the left in the picture, and she is clearly short for her age. A picture is worth a thousand words, as they say.

    Campbells have a clear-disclosure policy with respect to gluten sources. If it is in there, they will clearly tell you so in the ingredients list. But, the ingredients for some products are different in Canada than in the US. As Lisa noted, in Canada the chicken with rice is gluten-free; in the US it is not.

    K-toos are so much like Oreos that, unless they read the lettering on them, most people can't tell the difference.
