    Yep, I use this product all the time, and it's great for those of us with soy issues!

    One other thing it could be....I had this same thing happen three times in a short amount of time. Each time I went to the eye doctor and got prescription drops. Turns out it was my eye makeup--I then realized that I could only use the "expensive," high-quality eye liner and such. I've never had a problem since (and now only use gluten-free eye makeup...

    I'll help with what I can: Rice Krispies are a big no-no. They have malt, which is from barley, in them, so they are out. Kinnikinnick and Erewon (sp?) both make a gluten free version that you may want to try. I use Domino's confectioners, regular, and brown sugar, which are all gluten-free. Rumford baking powder and Clabber girl baking...

    I'm very paranoid about gluten, so I operate under the assumption that it's possible to get glutened by anything. That being said, though, I've never seen a dish soap with gluten. I use Joy, Palmolive, or Dawn, which are all verified as gluten free. But, I would think that finding gluten in dish soap would be very unlikely. Hope this helps!

    I haven't tried it yet, but Enjoy Life has recently come out with a gluten-free trail mix. The nice thing about Enjoy Life is that their stuff is also free of other common allergens: soy, dairy, nuts, etc., and they are produced in a strictly gluten-free environment. It looks yummy, and you can buy it on their website (I haven't seen it in a store yet...

    There's a lot of controversy over oats, but the consensus seems to be that celiacs should avoid oats. Most oats (if not all oats) in the US are contaminated with wheat. Unless you're buying pure oats (there are a couple of brands out there that some celiacs eat), then oat flour or any product with oats as an ingredient is pretty much guaranteed to be contaminated...

    Sometimes wheat will be listed (and the new label law requires this, so only one older products would it not be) on spices if it's present as an anti-clump agent. However, McCormick's clearly labels, and I use their spices all the time. I've never tried other brands because I trust McCormick's so much (and I can find them just about anywhere).

    Welcome to the board! This place was literally a lifesaver after I was diagnosed (and still is!). Okay, products I use (all verified as gluten-free--I contacted companies about the products) NARS cosmetics (all their stuff is gluten-free, including skin care--I get it from Sephora.com) Dove shampoo/conditioner--Dove clearly labels wheat, oats, barley...

    Proactiv products are gluten free; I contacted them about it, and it's also listed in the FAQ section on their pamphlet. Neutrogena makes gluten-free face powder (and possibly concealer, too). There are several lists on this site that people have posted; doing a search will bring them up (it's quite a long list). I personally use all NARS cosmetics...

    I used this one for Thanksgiving. It had a very nice flavor, but it is sweet, with the apples in it. But, I liked it. Good luck with it! APPLE RICE STUFFING Simply in Season by Mary Beth Lind, Cathleen Hockman-Wert A nice side dish with roast chicken or pork chops. Serves 6 • 1 cup / 500 ml brown rice • 2 1/3 cups / 575 ml apple jui...

    Some vitamins do have wheat in them; when I was diagnosed, I was using Target's multivitamin and "gluten" was listed right on the label--ugh. GNC lists what allergens their vitamins are free of: I'm soy, dairy, and gluten free, so I use their SoloDay multivitamin which states no soy, no dairy, no gluten, and some other things. They clearly list both on...

    I'm sorry to hear this. I just sent a prayer, too, and I'll keep him in my thoughts.

    Which kind are you talking about? I personally use Pamela's baking mix, about 4 times a week or so for two years (LOVE this stuff--I use it as a flour substitute in recipes, too), and I've never had a problem. If it's another brand, hopefully someone else can help.
  14. jmengert
    I share an oven with gluten eaters and have never had a problem. I also watch out for things like pot holders and putting my cookie sheet or dish on top so there's no spill over from their food onto mine, but as far as it being in the air, that's not an issue. I certainly understand being careful, though--I'm very viligant myself, but this isn't something...

    Quaker is infamous for cross-contamination, so I would avoid their products like the plague, which is unfortunate. I, too, am wondering about purely gluten-free corn meal; I believe Kinnikinnick makes some, but I've never tried it.

    Yep, the plain chicken breasts are gluten-free; I eat Tyson chicken all the time. By the way, just for future reference, by USDA regulations, grains must be declared on meat. So, if it reads gluten-free, it should be gluten-free. But, I stick to Tyson and Perdue anyway, just in case. Happy eating!

    I just saw this, too, on Kristin's blog. If they do kill this person off, I will be very upset. This character is definitely my favorite! Enough with the dying already!
  18. jmengert
    Based on what I've read from this forum and others, Butterball, Shady Brook Farms, and Honeysuckle are all gluten-free. However, US law dictates that for meat products, grains must be declared. So, you should just have to read the label. Beware, of course, pre-stuffed turkeys or suspect gravy packets.

    I was about as nervous as you can get before I had my endoscopy. I had never had any kind of anesthesia before or any kind of procedure. I had mine 2 weeks ago, and it really is a piece of cake (gluten free cake, of course They hook you up to monitors, give you an oxygen tube, and put an IV in (this was also my first IV--still, it was fine). Then...

    Enjoy Life also has soy free, dairy free, and gluten-free chocolate chips that are excellent--I use them all the time in my chocolate chip cookies.

    Great! Even though I've been doing this for two years now, I'm still not exactly the greatest cook. I didn't want to get my mouth all watered for cookies and have it be a disaster Thanks!

    In addition to gluten-free, I'm dairy free and soy free, as I'm trying to figure out what is still making me feel ill. So, I bought Spectrum's shortening (the one made only of palm oil), and I would like to substitute it for butter in a cookie recipe that calls for 1 cup of butter--is that too much to substitute, or do you think it would work okay? Thanks...

    I just sent you all the info, so just let me know if you don't get it! Disney sure does seem great for us with celiac and other intolerances!

    The main things you have to watch in these rice cereals is malt: most of the time, malt comes from barley, which is a big no-no. So, Rice Krispies are definitely *not* gluten-free. I don't know about Rice Chex, but I'm assuming they are not, as well. Two mainstream cereals that are gluten-free (last I checked, but do always read the ingredients) are...

    Jnifred--I am going to Walt Disney World in January, and I just got a bunch of things emailed to me from Disney personally about gluten-free, soy free, and dairy free foods. If you would like me to send them to you (there are about 6 documents), PM me with your email address and I can send them to you.
