Hi Ya'll! I'm still pretty new to the gluten-free world. I've been clean for about a month and a half now and I feel great but I need some cooking help. I've been trying to stick with whole foods like I'm supposed to and I think it's going pretty well but I'm not a cook so I don't know what to do with veggies and beans. I'm pretty much living vegetarian...

Does anyone know if the Lipton White Tea to Go packets that you pour into water are gluten free? I have been searching online but can't find any information. It has that annoying "natural flavor" listed in the ingredients. I'm trying to get off soda but need something to drink other than just plain water. I drink some hot teas but now that it's warm...

Hi Madatgluten! First, let me welcome you to the group. I am very new to this gluten free thing as well (just about a month Gluten-Free) and I can tell you, you have come to the right place for help. Just be sure to check the date on forums. This one is very old and no one has added to it for a while so chances of getting response are lessened. I...

I had a positive blood test for celiac in early January of this year but was not able to have a biopsy to confirm until mid March. I had to keep gluten in my diet for two months knowing it was what was making me sick. I did a brief test during that time and limited my gluten intake for about a week. I would basically eat gluten free but include one food...

Thanks everyone. I am trying to take all of this in but it's really overwhelming. I'm doing pretty well with food right now but I figure it makes sense to eliminate gluten in everything I use if I can. I'm just trying to take it one day at a time and change things out slowly. Thanks for the advise.

I have been searching everywhere for information on gluten free cosmetics but I can't find any current information. Am I missing something? I'm a newbie (just a week Gluten-Free) and I really want to try and replace all of my skin care and cosmetics as I need them but I can't figure out what is safe. Any suggestions? I really need mascara!

Hey WitchyWoman, I also have the Iphone app. "Is that Gluten Free?" and i have found it very helpful as a newbie. I don't really use the actual product list but I find the list of ingredients very helpful for reading labels. And, I like that there is an area with each product where you can take notes. I'm sure I won't use if forever but right now, while...

I thought I would share an Ipod application I found that I think is extremely helpful. It's called "Is That Gluten Free?" and it's truly fabulous. It has lists of products (by category) with the information of when it was verified as gluten-free and a complete list of ingredients labeled as "safe" "unsafe" or questionable. You can also add your own notes...

Thanks Mushroom and Chili! I appreciate the words of wisdom. I am starting to wonder if my medication is making me sick. I've been on Synthroid for about 7 years now and I just ran across a website last night that said it could contain gluten. I tend to feel worse at night which leads me to believe that it may be something I am taking regularly (I take...

First, let me start by saying I am so thrilled to have found this forum. I am about as newbie as they come. I started eating gluten-free on Tuesday so I've only been on the diet a few days. I already feel better but yesterday I started having symptoms again. My question is, is this normal or have I glutened myself? I felt so great for the first couple...
