They are under manditory evacuation, so I hope she's outta there.

They don't add gluten to any of their ingredients, but they only test a handful of products and they put only those on their gluten free list. All of their products *should* be safe.

Thanks Jenny and Patti!

Patti, I corrected my post to refer to Tylenol Extra Strength PM. Can you check on the "PM" status for me?

Thanks you ma'am.

Tylenol EXTRA Strength PM is not on the gluten free list, but Tylenol REGULAR Strength PM is listed as gluten free.

Has anyone gotten these mixed up and had "issues"? Does Tylenol EXTRA Strength PM bother anyone?

Thanks,

(I unintentionally left out the "PM" in my Subject Post)

I hope that all of our members in the Gulf Region remain safe from Gustav. Hitting at a Category 4 (more than Katrina) the storm serge will overtop the levies. Storms like these can move one heck of a lot of water.

I've been through a Category 2 direct hit and it is truly is terrifying. I can't fathom a Cat 4.

dksard, be safe!! (and please consider leaving)

Gluten is not specific to Brands of anything.

Any news, is good news!

I think that four cheese pizza from Picazzo's was the best pizza that I have ever had. Granted, I have never been a fan of pizza, but I do love Picazzo's. Unfortunatly, we don't have Picazzo's in this part of the country.

I can't offer you any other recommendations. I am not fond of any premade, gluten free pizza crusts.

Don't know specifically about Capt. Morgan's.

It is very possible to have Celiac Disease as well as a wheat allergy.

This thread is over a year old. This is some of the discussion regarding Cadbury Eggs:

GLUCOSE, GLUCOSE SYRUP AND CARAMEL COLOUR

.

It is important for those following a gluten-free diet to incorporate the latest valid scientific information into their diets. Under current Australian food law,

.

glucose, glucose syrup and caramel colour are "gluten-free",

even if derived from wheat, as the wheat is so highly processed,

there is no gluten detected.

.

Glucose, glucose syrup, caramel and similar ingredients have no detectable gluten, even if derived from wheat.

.

New food labelling laws require food labels to list all ingredients derived from wheat, rye, barley and oats.

This does not mean that all ingredients derived from these sources actually contain gluten.

So, it is a legal requirement that the source be declared, but remember that ingredients derived from wheat that are gluten free are:

dextrose, glucose and caramel colour (additive 150).

.

.

Accuracy of "Gluten-Free" Labels

.

The legal definition of the phrase "gluten-free" varies from country to country. Current research suggests that for persons with celiac disease the maximum safe level of gluten in a finished product is probably less than 0.02% (200 parts per million) and possibly as little as 0.002% (20 parts per million).

Australian standards reserve the "gluten free" label for foods with less than 5 parts per million of gluten, as this is the smallest amount currently detectable.

.

As gluten-containing grains are processed,

more and more of the gluten is removed from them,

as shown in this simple processing flow:

.

Wheat Flour (80,000ppm) > Wheat Starch Codex (200ppm) > Dextrin > Maltodextrin > Glucose Syrup (<5ppm) > Dextrose > Caramel Color

.

Unfortunately, in the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet defined the term gluten free as it appears on food labels.

.

It is currently up to the manufacturers of "gluten free" food items to guarantee such a claim.

"A final rule that defines the term gluten-free and identifies the criteria that would enable the food industry to use that term" is scheduled to be released by the FDA on August 2nd, 2008.

.

Many so-called gluten free products have been found to have been contaminated with gluten (such as Pamela's cookies, etc.).

.

Reference

.

United States

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is proposing to, ?define the food labeling term ?gluten-free? to mean that a food bearing this claim does not contain any of the following:

An ingredient that is a ?prohibited grain?, which refers to any species of wheat (durum, wheat, spelt wheat, or kamut), rye, barley or their crossbred hybrids

An ingredient that is derived from a ?prohibited grain? and that has not been processed to remove gluten

An ingredient that is derived from a ?prohibited grain? that has been processed to remove gluten,

if the use of the ingredient results in the presence of 20 micrograms or more gluten per gram of food

An ingredient containing 20 micrograms or more gluten per gram of food?

.

Reference

.

It would seem that under present US law sources must be stated ie. Glucose Syrup (from Wheat)

That however doesn't necessarily mean it contains sufficient levels of gluten to be harmful ie. < 5PPM

.

I don't know if this helps to explain the situation, or just makes it more complicated.

.

Best Regards,

David

How about this one Amanda. It's a few doors down from me and it may be worth relocating. I think 2,000.000.00 cash could buy it.

According to the FDA, hydrolyzed protein is used to enhance flavor and contains monosodium glutamate.

Let me add that, monosodium glutamate may not be good for you, but it is not gluten related.

Also, forgot to add, I am Vitamin D deficiant, and have a lung nodule, but not one doc can tell me why. Could the vitamin D, be because of celiac?

Celiac Disease has over 200 symptoms and deficiencies plays a big role. Enterolabs cannot diagnose Celiac, but the can tell you if you have sensitivities to certain foods. I have not used them, so I don't recommend them.

I would request the pathology report from your colon and endoscopy. Many people here can help you interpret them.

These are the test that should be ordered for Celiac:

Anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA) both IgA and IgG

Anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) - IgA

Anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) - IgA

Total IgA level.

And welcome!

Wow that sounds great.

I wonder if you could add candied ginger to Pamela's yellow cake mix Pound Cake. (yeah, I know...I'm a slacker). I've added Heath Candy Chips, Macadamians and Coconut.

NOT true!

I think we need a poll here!

Species? You mean spices?

Yes, "Natural Species" ..rabbits, goats, ducks, elk, water buffalo. Spices, yes, spices (I'll go fix) Shame on spell check

hi, My husband was just diagnosed with celiac desease. I am trying to read these labels, some are confusing, some I can handle. For example: I called the Ragu company they make spagetti sauce the label shows all natural ingredients, but does not say it is gluten free. Should I believe them when they tell me it is gluten free or should I look strictly for gluten free labeling? If anyone has an answer I would appreciate the help.

Thanks,

cernacki

A gluten free label means that there is no gluten added. There is no guarantee that anything is 100% unless you grow you own food. The US is working on a standard for labeling gluten free, but until then you should contact the companies. If you are looking for foods labeled gluten free, although they are more plentiful today, I am afraid you might starve to death.

Wheat, by law, if an ingredient, must be listed in the ingredient listing or in the allergen statement. Rye, barley and malt can hide in names such as "natural flavors" and "spices".

This listing is very helpful. Here is a list of companies who will clearly list all forms of gluten to include barley, malt and rye: (we like to support these companies)

They key to success with Celiac Disease is learning to read lables. Here is a listing of safe and forbidden terminolody:

Hope this helps.

I just got back the results of my blood test. I do not have celiac but they stated that on one of the test ran I was highly sensative to gluten? What does this mean?

Any help thanks,

Bones

Bones, can you post your results and the ranges. People here can interpret them.

Thanks but......it references a 2003 conference and it no longer comes up. And its not listed on the calendar on the home page. I will continue to google it. Thanks!

ooops, sorry. Too much of a hurry.

Dates or website? I hear its a great conference. Thanks

Celiac Disease is covered under the Americans With Disability Act Open Original Shared Link , specifically in regards to discrimination and equal rights for the employed.

You may deduct a portion of your gluten free spending, but it is cumbersome in it's paperwork and realizes minimum relief: https://www.celiac.com/categories/Celiac-Di...Deduction-Info/

It is not considered a non- functioning disability because of it's "cure" is strictly dietary. Therefore, Celiac Disease is not subject to disability benefits.

The diet does not have to be expensive and the good people here can show you how to work it.

Welcome Bones,

That's how I was when I started here, just bones.

Your recovery will depend on the extent of damage you have had. And, that will depend on whether you have an intolerance, allergy or Celiac.

The diet can be very complex, especially in the beginning. Keep things simple as meats, seafood, rice, potatoes, fresh veggies and fruit. Check your meds, shampoo and lotions.

It is recommended not to begin the diet until all testing is complete. It will increase inaccuracy in testing.

I use my Triumph Dining Cards when I order and I usually get steamed veggies and chicken. Steamed Rice will be fine and you can add your own gluten free soy sauce.

It's not wonderful, but it works.

BTW: www.triumphdining.com or they can be found on the Gluten Free Mall.
