    I think it's always best to refer to the manufacturer's website for the most up-to-date info and even then with ingredients subject to change, we have to always read labels for the most current info. If you're not bothered by Cocoa Puffs, I see no reason not to continue eating them.

    Thanks for the info, WheatChef! My GI doc suggested Lactaid Milk to me on Mon., which I had already picked up the week before, as well as Lactaid tablets. I'll need to start keeping track of when I use milk on cereal (I don't have cereal every day) or have other dairy products and then see if I have symptoms afterwards. I'm still pretty new to celiac ...

    You're welcome, Aries! My memories are still very vivid so I know what you're going through. I could have gotten in for my EGD about 3 weeks earlier but obviously couldn't drive myself so had to wait for a convenient time for my son and daughter-in-law to take me and they both work. On a happy note, I felt so much better within 3 days after my EGD...

    Sorry to say that Kix is not on their gluten free list. But I don't see any ingredient in it that would indicate it's unsafe. It may depend on one's sensitivities. They don't send newsletters often but check their site as they have a lot of yummy sounding recipes.

    I think we need all the humor we can get!!!

    I just came across this recipe for gluten free Cannellini Bean and Tuna Salad. It sounds so good and would be a great lunch/supper idea...bummer, I need to buy broccoli first but have the other ingredients on hand all the time (I prefer fresh broccoli over frozen). Open Original Shared Link

    You are just toooo funny!!!

    Well, obviously not Wheat Chex. lol Check out their website and you can sign up for their newsletter as well as find lots of gluten free recipes. Open Original Shared Link

    Probably not any ingredient but possibility of cross contamination if made on shared lines. Or a CYA statement like so many companies do if they cannot comfortably state that their products are gluten free.

    Glad you didn't have a reaction! I think it may be because the gluten free varieties of Chex may be made in a dedicated gluten free facility. General Mills is one of those companies that do a really good job of labeling. Have you tried Chocolate Chex? Yummy!!! Also, I've eaten Kix without a problem even though they don't say gluten free on the...

    Who makes them then? General Mills does have a cereal called "Cocoa Puffs". Open Original Shared Link
  12. sa1937
    Cocoa Puffs do not appear on the General Mills gluten free list of products. Have you checked the label on the box, which would be the most accurate info?

    I suspect I may also have lactose intolerance. I picked up some Lactaid milk and also Lactaid tablets at the store last week. Just curious to know if they have helped other people. And when I baked a loaf of bread on Sun., the recipe called for dry milk. Does it make any difference if it's in a baked product in contrast to drinking milk as in having...

    My dr. diagnosed me with both gastritis and duodenitis during my EGD so yes, it can be seen. My esophagus was normal. He did biopsies in both my stomach and duodenum, which were positive for celiac. He also tested for H. pylori which, thankfully, turned out to be negative. Did they print out colored pictures for you to take home? My photos show the...

    Welcome, Aries! I had my initial celiac panel done in Dec., which turned out to be positive. And I also had good days/bad days between then and my EGD on April 9. The month of Jan. wasn't too bad but Feb. and March were. I was consuming plenty of gluten as I didn't want to go through an invasive test for nothing. My biopsy on April 9 was positive...

    Your doctor is just plain WRONG! I am older than you, had a positive celiac blood panel in Dec., consult with GI doc in late Feb. and was diagnosed with a positive biopsy on April 9. On my initial appt., I asked my GI doc if he didn't think I was a little old to have celiac to which he told me, "No". It's sad that doctors are so ill-informed about this...

    Our Moms were right!!! The number of preservatives and other unpronounceable ingredients in prepared foods should be enough to scare all of us.

    Thanks, jerseyangel! I'll keep using it then, and of course, it'll get used up a lot faster now that I'm gluten free.

    A couple of years or so ago, I bought a package of Ener-G Xanthan Gum to make cookies, which I baked for a friend who had celiac disease. This was long before I was diagnosed with celiac. Does this product have a shelf life after which it should be replaced (expensive as it is)? I have it stored in an airtight container in my cabinet. It look fine,...

    I just googled "Mucinex gluten free" and came up with this link, which shows it listed as gluten free. Open Original Shared Link The list was updated on 5/7/10. Glutenfreedrugs is a very helpful list to consult for lots of different meds, including OTC. Hope this helps...

    Thanks so much for your help, kareng!!! I found the thread and knew it was fairly recent: http://www.celiac.co...and-vegetables/

    Thanks for checking this out, Kim. I picked it up at our local Wal-Mart this week and it is nice!!! Really feels wonderful.

    I lucked out yesterday when I stopped at a business less than a mile from my house (they actually specialize in dozens of varieties of in-house roasted specialty coffees and also carry Asian foods). I found glutinous rice flour, for which I've been searching a long while, for $1.50 for 16 oz. Woo hoo! I have a number of recipes that call for it. This...

    Yes, I agree with mushroom! It really is a lot of trial and error...and I've had a few errors, sometimes salvageable, sometimes not. I made a yellow cake from scratch and ended up not serving it to friends. But it's going to become crumbs as I need something to make a crumb crust for strawberry pie. And then I baked a brick! I ended up just...

    My pharmacist at RiteAid doesn't understand either but he printed me off a list with my meds and the ingredients they contain. I was mainly concerned about one that was a generic and I checked glutenfreedrugs.com and the company was listed. If it's a name brand drug, I can google it and check it myself (like Restasis, for example, which is one I am...
