    Thanks, moosemalibu. I forgot that TJs has a good "contact us" feature on its website, so I just sent them an email with the two questions above. Will report back once I get some info.

    Hello, Has anyone had a recent experience with Trader Joe's gluten-free English muffins? I've seen posts from 2009 about them, but nothing more recent. I suspect I've had a reaction to them but was not sure at the time... Because I don't know whether or not I had a reaction to them, I'd hate to rule them out if others have had good experiences. The...

    Hi all, In March I realized (thanks to this forum) that my celiac testing was misinterpreted and actually seemed conclusively positive. My doctor would not provide an official diagnosis even though I presented the evidence I had found (again, thanks to this forum). Instead of taking the time to consider the studies I provided, she said I should see Dr...

    I had random stabbing pains and muscle cramps in my feet shortly after going gluten-free. It would happen when i was just sitting there. I found that massaging my feet and rubbing them over a tennis ball seemed to help, at least with the cramps.

    I'll definitely be following this thread. As a newly-diagnosed celiac with a new job, I am conscious of the all the newness...It's tough moving along two learning curves at once, and it's particularly challenging to know how much information to share. In my case, I have needed to mention it to my manager because there were several instances when she or someone...

    Have you looked into using a face mask and protective glasses or goggles in high-risk areas?

    Raven and IH, I thought I had already replied to your follow up posts but I was wrong... As it turns out, I was seriously craving a root beer float when I got that root beer...but you can be sure I will get Virgil's next time.

    I know, right? Sort of surprising.

    Thanks for your help, ravenwoodglass. It definitely helped me adopt a wait-and-see attitude. I heard back from the company today. Though the root beer does not have gluten in its ingredients, there is a pretty high risk of cross-contamination. The sugar water is made in the same tank as beer. Yikes. They clean before producing the sugar water, but who knows...

    I am in the US. I didn't think that malt had to be listed. Are you saying I probably don't have anything to worry about? I'm bloated after drinking it (about half of it), but that could just be because I never drink soda...just had it today because it was hot...and it could be because of the stress of not knowing if it's safe.

    Can anyone tell me whether root beer is generally safe or not? I just drank half a bottle of Old Dominion Root Beer before rethinking proprietary extracts listed on the ingredients (Root Beer Extracts #214, #79-400)...although no obvious gluten ingredients were listed, I'm concerned that those two extracts could contain gluten via malt. As a side note...

    Thanks a lot, mushroom. It is so helpful to get feedback from someone who has developed "celiac judgment". I am really trying to figure out how safe is safe enough without driving myself batty. On some level I guess i'm really struggling with the concept of varying sensitivity in celiac. Do we all get sick from the same amount of gluten, or do some really...

    Hello, I am newly-diagnosed and am traveling for work right now, and it is apparent that I'm still navigating the learning curve! I tried to bring some gluten-free snacks with me but found myself at the train station, preparing to head home, and still needed to eat lunch. I had a choice - I could buy junky gluten-free snacks at the Hudson News, or...

    IrishHeart, thank you so much for your Newbie 101 post!! It really covers so much...and it is so kind of you to share and help lighten the load of the confused and overwhelmed newbies. Couple that with your generous, knowledgeable replies to my questions, and I have to say, you have truly had such a positive impact these first few months of recovery...

    Just wanted to share some good information about the Jack Black line of lip balms. I just spoke with the manufacturer, and they are gluten-free! The products contain Vitamin E/Tocopheryl Acetate, which I have learned can be derived from either wheat, soy or corn. There wasn't anything noted on the company's site or elsewhere on the Internet, so I contacted...
