    Disagree with the above post. All FDA products are required to list wheat. It would be in violation not to fully dislose wheat. Used in conjunction with the food labeling law, the list of companies with clear labeling policies is, generally, enough to make an educated decision on whether a product contains gluten or not.

    Here is the decision process I go through: Identify the company/brand and assess what we know about them. Your example was ConAgra. Based on the above links I gave you, we learn that they will not hide any ingredients.

    Better Batter Gluten Free Flour - a mix of flours, so you don't have to use individual flours, acts as a one-to-one replacement, and already has the right amount of xanthan gum mixed in.

    Lunch meats are a very broad term (just like any category of food). Members on this thread have provided brands and types of meats that are safe to consume (pre-packaged) and precautions to take if you purchased deli sliced meats. In another thread, a list of brands that will list all gluten sources was shared, so that Celiacs can trust the food labeling...

    I can tell you that most of the common Celiac tests were not run - but the results that were indicate that gluten may be part of the problem. When she returns to the doctor, she may want to discuss this info with her doctor. Open Original Shared Link

    Get copies of your medical records for yourself and daughter, and take them with you to a doctor that is recommended for Celiac patients. Do a search on this board, post a question looking for a doctor, and/or contact the local Celiac support group and ask for a referral to a doctor that their members are satisfied with. While you do have a diagnosis, there...

    Ball Park Franks are made by Sara Lee. Sara Lee has stated that they will list all gluten ingredients on the label, and not hide them. If you don't see wheat/rye/barley/oats, then per their labeling standards, it is safe to eat.

    Get a copy of your child's medical records, and include in it a letter from your doctor stating the circumstances and the fact that your son does better on a gluten free diet, the symptoms that have improved, and that it is recommended to stay on the diet. Also, contact the local Celiac group in your new area and ask for a referral to a good local ped...

    ARCHIVED Group Letter to Dr. Fine

    I'm pretty sure that who signs is no one else's business except those who choose to sign it. If this type of conversation continues, those posts will be set to invisible.

    Also means that since autoimmune disorders often cluster in packs, all Celiacs (statistically) have an increased risk in developing other autoimmune disorders. Doesn't mean that it will happen, just means that for any one person, they have a higher risk than a non-Celiac.

    Any regular oats are not safe for any Celiac. Only a small number of brands have gluten free oats that are not grown or manufactured in a way that allows for contamination. Even when using gluten free oats, there is a small percentage of Celiacs that still cross-react to avenin, the protein in oats that is similar to the gluten containing 'parts'...

    They ususally don't recommend obedience training at 10 weeks anyways - they need to be a little bit more mature before you start. Most places have recommendations for ages. But you can do plenty of training - sit, down, stay, etc. without obedience, luckily!
