    In searching the forum, I found a lot of posts about muscle hypotonia before following a gluten-free diet but nothing about it for people following a gluten-free diet. While we don't have what sounds like muscle hypotonia exactly, my daughter and I both have "lazy" facial muscles, according to our speech therapist. We also both suffer from sleep apnea so...

    when i was looking for a gluten-free protein shake for my daughters, my naturopath had two to offer me: one rice-based and one bean-based. she said she had to switch to the bean-based because when she would drink the rice one, should would get so sleepy that she would almost fall asleep in her chair while she was with patients. i don't think she explained...

    so i'm on the hunt for a gluten-free valentine conversation heart candy. i had thought that NECCO was the safe one but right on they had the shared-facility warning on their packages this year. was it there last year too? i am only getting more nit-picky as time goes by. i seem to be one of the sensitive folks. i thought wonka sweetarts were not safe...

    depending on your sensitivity level, it could indeed by the larabar. from their website, i get the impression that they are produced in a facility with gluten-containing ingredients: "GLUTEN FREE/CELIACS LÄRABAR®, über® and Jŏcalat® are Gluten Free. They have no gluten-containing ingredients, and we have manufacturing controls in place to ensure that there...

The Simply Bar is certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO) and is manufactured in a gluten-free environment to prevent cross-contamination. We follow strict manufacturing practices and screen all our products...

    for Quest, i talked to an online customer service agent. i asked them if their bars were processed in a gluten-free facility and they said "our bars are gluten-free". when i reiterated my question, they said "we do not use gluten-containing ingredients in our bars". so Quest is ok i guess?

    a warning for the sensitive, the You bars are made in a facility with gluten: http://www.youbars.com/faqs I have allergies; can you guarantee that what I order will not contain certain ingredients? You may select the ingredients in your bar, however, your bar may contain traces of soy, wheat, eggs, milk, tree nuts & peanuts because our kitchen also...

    Kind bars look good although i was a little confused by their answer from their FAQ: 5. Are KIND Healthy Snacks gluten-free? Our products are tested for gluten and meet FDA’s proposed requirement of 20ppm (0.002%) of gluten. Our manufacturing plant is dedicated gluten free and has a strict allergen control program. if your plant is dedicated gluten-f...

    beware: depending on your sensitivity, these bars probably contain gluten at some level http://www.nugonutrition.com/about/faq/ How does NuGo ensure our products are Gluten-Free? The current proposed FDA standard for labeling a product gluten-free is testing to ensure it contains less than 20ppm of gluten. At NuGo, all bars that say gluten-free on the...

    according to this, they will disclose if they put it in the ingredient directly but, if it is processed in a facility with gluten, the front will simply not say 'gluten-free'. if you are worried about cross-contamination, only buy the boxes that specifically say gluten-free on the front.

    This is explained in the book "The Devil in the Milk". Basically there are two kinds of milks produced by animals. The majority of cows we get milk from are the A1 type. (There are some A2's around but we don't discriminate in the US.) "What is A1 and A2 milk? Milk contains many types of proteins. The proportion of various proteins can be quite different...
