    I just read Crisco's website, and they do not claim Crisco shortening to be gluten free "for one or more reasons". I'm guessing it is due to cross-contamination or legal fears. They still have a statement on their site that the FDA has not finalized any rules on gluten labeling. I hope to see a change by August 5, 2014 when the FDA gluten labeling rules become...

    I haven't tried the modified Atkins Diet, but have tried the Atkins diet. When I was on it, I developed a thyroid problem, which the book warned about. I find the a modified allergy elimination diet to be the best diet ever. I lost wait while still eating rice and potatoes. When I went to Dr. Vikki Petersen's office they suggest an allergy elimination diet...

    Hi Blue Taelon, I have tried grinding rice flour in a coffee grinder and in a mill, and it is still not as fine as the Authentic Foods superfine rice flour. A matter of fact, it it still gritty. I hope this helps clarify this matter for you. The grain mill I used was the KitchenAid Grain Mill Attachment. You can now purchase Authentic Foods superfine...

    La Preferida black beans are gluten free and they are their refried black beans are the best I've ever had! They are so good that I just ordered some on Walmart.com, an entire case of 12 cans for something like $21.20. The sales rep at a trade show, Natural Products Expo West, explained that because they can verify the source of the ingredients they promote...

    In search for a gluten-free enchilada sauce I visited Old El Paso's website, but when I clicked on the link for Nutrition Information it brought me to another page that did not contain what I was looking for. I did, however, find their enchilada sauce listed on Amazon and they list gluten as an ingredient. See the link: http://www.(Company Name Removed -...

    You may be experiencing a cross-reaction (different than cross-contamination). There are foods which mimic a gluten reaction: dairy, corn, rice, sorghum, even potato... I just blogged about this very subject and included Dr. Vikki Petersen's YouTube video. I'm not sure if I can add a link here to it or not. So, I'll just give you the title of the video and...

    I don't trust this company. As of yesterday, they were using a photo on their Gluten Free Consumer page that belonged to someone else. It was the photo of a 50's mother and child and said, "Go ahead, honey it's gluten free." When I called The Gluten Free Consumer to find out if they were associated with the blog who first used the photo, a man told me they...

    Expandex is a very unique product. It may be chemically processed, but we don't know for sure, as Expandex does not divulge this information (trade secret). You may wish to try a gluten-free dough enhancer. There are a few brands. Some contain soy lecithin and others include egg yolk lecithin. I shy away from soy products because they can affect your...

    It is totally fine to use a gluten-free all purpose flour. Using cheese will make a fine binder so I would skip the xanthan gum. If you wish to use xanthan gum, the usual rule of thumb is 1 teaspoon per 1 cup of flour. If you use an all-purpose flour which already contains xanthan gum you will not need to add additional. Check the label. They are all...
