    I've made the carrot cake on Pamela's website (pamelasproducts.com) a few times and really like it. I use two to three jars of baby food jarred carrots in place of shredded carrots. I find this makes the cake more moist. I then make cream cheese frosting for it. I don't have a "real" recipe for the frosting; I tend to be a "little of this and a little...

    You're welcome--I didn't want anyone else to waste their money like I have. I've been using the regular mascara with no problems, and last I ordered that (2-3 months ago) it was gluten free, so hopefully that one hasn't changed. I was so excited to try the new stuff, too. They have another new mascara, too, that was out of stock. I wonder if that one...

    So I've been buying all Bare Escentuals make-up because it is all *supposed* to be gluten free. Well, I just ordered the new Big Tease Mascara, and I received it today, and it has both hydrolyzed wheat protein and hydrolyzed wheat starch. Ugh. Just wanted to warn everyone. Keep an eye out on those ingredients--darn it! I was so excited about this...

    That's great to hear from everyone; thanks for your feedback. I had heard that it had bleach in it and could stain items; another cream I used did that and bleached my pillowcase from where my head slept on it at night--weird. I think I'll give it a try! Thanks again, everyone!

    Well, I did have my hair highlighted last summer, and the dye/toner had wheat protein in it. This is coming from a person literally never eats out and worries about CC constantly, so doing this was a *huge* leap of faith for me. And I was fine--I told my hairdresser the situation, and I kept my mouth firmly shut as she rinsed out the dye in case any splashed...

    I use Clairol Nice and Easy, which reads gluten-free according to the ingredients, and I've used it 4 or 5 times without problems. I used Garnier Nutrisse last time and really liked it, and it reads gluten free, too.

    Hi, all--I'm one of the "lucky" people who has developed adult acne. I've tried several things, to no avail, and I don't want to go to a dermatologist yet. So I emailed Proactiv about being gluten-free, and they said there is no gluten in their products. Has anyone used this? Does it work? Is it worth spending money on it? I'm hoping it'll work!

    I use the GNC Solo-day multivitamin. According to the GNC website, it is both gluten and soy free (and perhaps dairy free, too--I can't remember). I've been using it for about 6 months now and really like it. And it's pretty cheap--about $5-6 a bottle.

    I use this mix often, but I've found success making it in a loaf pan, rather than in a muffin pan. I cook it for about 25-30 minutes this way, and it comes out great. Maybe that will work better for you.

    I use the new Dove Energy Glow tanning lotion. Dove clearly lists gluten, and there are no gluten ingredients in this lotion. I've heard it's similar to the Jergen's (it's gradual and builds up to a tan), so you might like it. It has two tones, too: fair and medium.

    I love knowing exactly (or almost exactly) what is in my food since I read labels *all* the time. I love that I save money by not eating out, which leaves me more money for shopping for clothes

    Hi--welcome to the board! For toothpaste, I use Crest, which is gluten free, as is Colgate. For shampoo, I alternate between Dove (which will clearly list any gluten ingredients) and Garnier Fructis (which is gluten free). I use Garnier for hairspray, too. Neutrogena also will send you a list of gluten free products, and I've used their shampoos...

    Hi, all--I haven't painted my fingernails since going gluten-free for fear of ingesting flaking off nail polish. So, I emailed OPI in *December* and just heard back (only took them 4 months!). Below is their response for those interested: The following OPI products contain hydrolyzed wheat protein, which will have traces of gluten: Original Nail Envy...

    Modified food starch is one of those things that we have to check on. In the US, though, most often times it is made from corn, but we should check on it just in case.

    I use Argo with no problems, and what I like about it is that it says "gluten free" on the box, so I trust it. I hope you find the source of your hidden gluten.

    I was very excited when I read this thread, as someone who is gluten-free, soy free, and dairy limited. I emailed the company about it being gluten-free, and below is their (brief) response: All natural gluten free--no artifical ingredients Yea for us! Just thought I'd share the info!

    The only tuna I have found that is gluten-free and soy free is Whole Foods' brand. They have a few varieties, and I buy the solid white albacore. The downside is that it's $1.50 a can, but it's worth it to have soy free tuna. It's packaged only in spring water, which is nice.

    Hi, Judy--Another option is Spectrum's Canola Oil Mayo. It's gluten-free, DF, and soy-free, as I avoid these things, too. It even says gluten free on the label. I use it all the time, as I love my tuna fish and egg salad!

    I second Badger Balm--great stuff! You can get it at Whole Foods, Wegman's, or other health food stores.

    I can empathize with your situation. I am 5'5 and got down to 95 pounds. I was so afraid to eat anything because everything made me feel bad. Even after going gluten-free, I had awful nausea and stomach problems for awhile. I didn't begin to gain weight back for about 6-8 months, unfortunately (though I gained back about 5 to 8 pounds initially). I'm...

    That's awesome! Honestly, I've never had anything from Kinnikinnick that I didn't like (though the blueberry muffins weren't as great as I had hoped). However, before going soy-free, I *loved* their donuts--all of the varieties. They are rather heavy, though, if you don't mind that. The cinnamon rolls are also quite good (I add my own cream cheese to...

    I'm also lactose intolerant, and I drink Lactaid milk frequently without problems. I also emailed them and confirmed it was gluten-free. I'm not sure about the Lactaid pill. I used it pre-gluten-free without problems, but I had to take twice the recommended dose for it to "work"--but again, that was all pre-gluten-free. Good luck!

    There are three brands that I alternate between, as I get bored easily Dove will list any wheat, oats, barley, or rye, and I currently use their advanced color care shampoo and conditioner--bonus: it smells great, too. Garnier Fructis shampoos and conditioners are gluten-free, and they work well. Last, Neutrogena has a triple moisture shampoo...

    If you can find the Cause You're Special brand of cake mixes, they are wonderful. I just made the lemon cake with lemon cream cheese frosting for some friends who I had over for dinner, and they couldn't tell the difference. Very, very good (too good, as I finished the cake in two days!)

    I have awful allergies, even having to use allergy shots for awhile, and Zyrtec is the only med that has worked for me. I was on it all last spring/summer/fall, and I never had a reaction to it. The gluten free drugs website said it was gluten free, as did one other site I examined (I don't remember what it was now), and I never had a reaction to it--and...
