    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...

    i didn't even think to google it. that is a great idea! i think i'll surprise her with them since she thinks she's not getting any. thanks so much!

    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...

    here is the info from the simply bar website: Is The Simply Bar certified gluten-free? Yes. 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.

    i was surprised that their response was so thorough because of old posts that came up on here about their fudge bars. happily surprised

We understand how important it is for people who have been medically diagnosed with gluten sensitivity to obtain accurate information about our food to help plan their meals and diets. And we continue to look for ways to meet the dietary needs of our consumers. Since wheat is a major...

    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...

    thank you for the scientific answer. it's always nice to know the reason why.

    glutenese also appears to have the same enzyme but its claims are definitely more outrageous. it's not a magic pill that lets you eat wheat again but something you should take if you get glutened, in theory to help reduce the symptoms. has no one tried it with any success or failure?
  18. elocin71
    ok i'm a newbie myself but my ND gave me such a product. the enzyme she was referring to was probably dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV). i used it once for possible glutening from eating at chevy's but honestly i couldn't tell if it helped. i will be curious to see if anyone else has experience with these enzymes. i posted a question about it once but...

    excellent idea about a backup utensils. do they put their placemat in its own bag inside their lunchbag? i guess i am treating gluten molecules like the plague and i'm imagining the crumbs from the bottom of the placemat getting into the lunch bag.

    that's kinda what i thought so it's nice to have it confirmed (tho i'd rather the sanitizier work ) thank you
  21. elocin71
    that's a great idea having the wipes stay at the cafeteria. sending a wipe every day in her lunchbox didn't seem as appetizing. thanks!

    you're right, paranoid is the wrong word altho i suppose it's more a reflection of how i think i might be perceived by someone with no allergy experience. her teacher has first-hand experience so she's very aware. does hand sanitizer kill gluten molecules? even after reading several books on celiac disease, i have yet to find out if you can 'kill'...

    today was my daughter's first day of kindergarten. her teacher is very allergy-friendly as her son has a peanut allergy. she brought up points that i'd never considered. i knew to check the supplies for wheat. they don't have snacks in the classroom. they wash their hands before and after lunch. but her teacher asked me if she needed to have her own...

    so i sent another email to clarify: "i have an allergy question about your baby bottle pop 2D mix. does it, or the 'natural and artificial flavors' within it, contain any wheat, barley, rye, or oat ingredients? my daughter has celiac's disease and cannot tolerate any of those." the response i got was: "All of our products are gluten free." would...
