    If you are getting the "Down for Maintenance" message, your DNS info is out of date. I tried flushing DNS, restarting the computer, the router, and the modem--no joy. I spent most of an hour on the phone with India, and eventually learned that the default DNS server wired into my modem was outdated. A DNS server that has current data is located at IP 4.2...

    The board was moved to a new server early Wednesday. The last time we did this, a similar question was answered:

    The old server was shut down 24 hours ago. The new one was up a few hours later, but since the IP address changed, your DNS cache might remember the old one for a while. There can be deeper issues. My ISP's default DNS server, preprogrammed into the modem, is out of date and no longer refreshed regularly. I had to tweak my router to use an explicit DNS server...

    When referring to gluten-free status of things, "as of" often means that was when the information was verified, and should not be taken to indicate a change in status. A statement that a specific product is or is not gluten-free refers to that specific product only. So--my take--in 2011, somebody asked about Colgate Original, and shared the answer they got...

    Unless something has recently changed, all Colgate toothpastes (and all Crest toothpastes) are gluten-free.

    I also see that on both of my computers.

    Dairy is a priority allergen in Canada and a FALCPA allergen in the US. It's presence can not, by law, be hidden. It must be clearly disclosed using the word "milk."

    If you have a problem with ginger, then that would be a red flag to me for ginger ale. It is not what I would call concentrated, but it is present.

    I think that you can find it here. Posts by new members are subject to a moderator review before appearing. We find it necessary to do this to keep spam off the board. Approval is usually quick, but the mods are volunteers who do not work to a schedule, so there can be delays. I don't know who approved it, but it took less than 30 minutes.

    For those who want to, you can select multiple posts for quotation in more than one thread. Here is one from from the ingredients forum: Quotes within quotes is an advanced topic, requiring pasting and editing beyond the norm. But as shown, it can be done. If Darn won't, I can have a go at it. I don't do Photobucket like she does...

    Great news!

    Here in Canada, they are still sold under the Nestle brand, and are gluten-free.

    Yeast extract may or may not be "natural," depending on how you define that word. But it is definitely gluten-free.

    Caramel color is one of those celiac urban myths that just won't go away. Here is Shelley Case's take on it, from Gluten-Free Diet A Comprehensive Resource Guide: [Emphasis in original]

    I agree. But any time you buy a private label (house brand) product, you do not know who actually makes it. It may be any name brand manufacturer, or in some categories, there are manufacturers who only do contract production of private label products--they sell nothing of their own directly. Different products under the same name may be made by different...

    It is generally accepted that distilled spirits are gluten-free, since the gluten molecule is too large and heavy to be vaporized. Nevertheless, some very sensitive celiacs report reacting to grain-alcohol spirits. Fragments of the molecule could get into the distillate, and cause a reaction in those people. I can drink whisky without issue. There are...

    Lawry's was owned by Unilever when this thread started, but was bought by McCormick's in 2008. As previously stated, any gluten will be clearly disclosed by naming the source. Caramel color is gluten-free, but an urban myth persists that it is not.

    To clarify the rule, you may not post a link to any site in which you have a beneficial interest. This includes any site you own, including your own blog, your Facebook page, your Twitter, and the like. It also applies to your employer's site. You may post links as long as your interest is at arm's length.

    If you are recently diagnosed, your body has sustained damage caused by celiac disease. It will take time to heal--several months as a minimum. While you are healing, you may experience reactions that have nothing to do with gluten in your food, just that your intestines are still having trouble with everything.

    Tie one on.

    I can't respond specifically to the question about Timmy's, but all the coffee places I have gone to use real cream, which is gluten-free.

    The posts appear in the order you clicked on them, and you can respond to each individually by typing between the quotations. You can type after the last one. You can also type before the first one--sometimes that makes sense.

    Happy New Year, everyone.

    There is a lengthy discussion about the SCD here.. It may be useful.

    Multiple other causes for itching do exist. But with a confirmed diagnosis of celiac disease it would be reasonable to connect the dots and think that that Dermatitis Herpetiformis, a manifestation of celiac disease that presents in the skin, would be the cause.
