    There could be residual traces of gluten on a grill if buns have been toasted, or other gluten items have been cooked. Once you go gluten-free with it, the amount will diminish. A gas grill can reach over 600 degrees with the cover closed. 30 minutes of sustained heat at that temperature will destroy residual gluten--preheat cycle--don't keep any food at...

    Nothing is 100% risk-free. Usually, the endoscopy procedures is done with sedation but not anesthesia. You will be groggy after the procedure, and will likely have no memory of it. You WILL need a responsible adult to take you home after the procedure and stay with you until you are fully alert--a few hours, at least. I have traveled that road three...

    Open Original Shared Link Reader's Digest version: Products which [consistently] test below 20 ppm gluten content may be labeled gluten-free. My comment: To be sure you consistently test below 20, allowing for batch variances and test accuracy, the manufacturer must aim much, much lower. It is not reasonable to expect that they will aim at 19.9 ppm...

    It has been thoroughly washed and has no pinch points, so I would consider it gluten-free.

    SIL has a phlood in her basement from a washing machine malfunction.

    It seems overwhelming at first, but you get used to it. Since the biopsy found damage, it will take time on the gluten-free diet for that damage to heal.

    Glucose syrup is highly refined and purified and is gluten-free regardless of source. Bon apetit!

    You can see it. Other members can not. Your birthday is the only personal item visible to members.

    Peg, as others have said, it is not a big deal. But please take the advice to have someone take you home and make sure you settle in.

    There is minimal risk in the endoscopy. There is value in having the documented medical diagnosis. As long as you are in complete control of your own life, who cares. When you have to entrust your feeding to others, it matters. You may want an official diagnosis for accommodation at a school, a workplace, a hospital, or someday, a nursing home. A...

    As Tim said, you need to evaluate on a case-by-case basis. Any restaurant will almost certainly have something with gluten. I know of only one restaurant that is 100% gluten-free, Open Original Shared Link in suburban Albany, NY. Sherry is a sensitive celiac.

    Marital arts can be very pleasant. Do you also do martial arts?

    Is there gluten at Starbucks? Absolutely yes. Is it in the plain coffee? No. It is dispensed directly from the urn into the cup--almost no chance for cross-contamination. Is there gluten in some of the fancy drinks? Yes. The iced frappuccino is one example. At least in Canada, the chocolate contains malted barley. Is there a cross-contamination risk...

    I found it. It was more than four years ago.

    I would have to go digging for it, but there was a picture one day of my balls.

    Milk, cream and butter are naturally gluten-free. If something is added to them, it is possible that gluten could be present. The only case I can imagine would be chocolate flavored milk, which could possibly contain barley malt.

    I don't doubt that Starbucks coffee made you ill if you have GERD, but I drink it regularly. Please cite your source for the claim that it contains gluten.

    There is a genetic factor, but only a minority of those with the genes actually develop celiac disease. It is recommended that all first degree relatives of someone diagnosed with celiac disease be tested.
