Thanks for/ passing that along!!! Good To know

I first tried Sweet Baby Ray's only a few months ago (after hearing they were gluten-free), I'm happy there's something out there I can have once in a while!! (but not tooo often, fructose issues)

LIFE IS GOOD!

Thanks for posting TT! Love me some Sweet Baby Rays!

SIGH - why is everything such a research project?!

Beats Me <throwing arms up>!

hmmm. It would also dissolve any gluten in the glass into which it was poured, the spoon, the blender, etc. You'd have to be pretty meticulous, especially if in a shared household, or just starting out, to keep the rum from liberating old gluten from surfaces.

OK, any liquid that dissolves a solid is a solvent - it's the est. 35% alcohol in the rum that could be harsh on your system, or any other type of liquor...that's what I meant .

Please keep in mind that the topic of this thread is Rum. Rum is alcohol, a solvent, which can be tough on a compromised immune system. Even with the absence of gluten, a gluten type reaction could occur.

I also reacted, not sure what it is..probably the eggs

Please note that this thread is over two years old...the information may be dated and inaccurate.

This one tested positive with a home gluten test kit, but it was below 20 ppm, so anyone who eats regular gluten free products should be fine with it.

I'm talking about substantiated facts.

Was the company contacted? What was their response?

I was never tempted in my first couple of years being gluten free. It all just happened in the last 2 years (after 8 years previous to that) that it has all come back at me to haunt me. Simply can't find a gluten free chocolate cake that will satisfy my craving

Oooh, oooh... have you tried Pamela's Chocolate Cake Mix. It's a little more dense than "regular" cake mix, but...in my opinion, BETTER! I get raves when served to my "regular" friends.

AND yes.... many of us need little or no motivation to stay on the path that makes us well.

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if careml mochas from McD's is gluten free. I love them but I am concerned that there may be gluten or even soy in them. I have looked but am unable to see anything that would help me figure this out so far.

Looks like it's a GO!

I think that some of the answers you are getting are from conventional celiacs and not super sensitive celiacs. Often one clicks on new content and then doesn't pay attention to the subsection of the forum.

It is a good idea to mention again in the post that you are super sensitive. I don't know of a good rum for a super sensitive. I'd like to though.

And what rums have you found that DO contain gluten....? Curious to know and any substantiation would be helpful.

Hi, I'am new here I just have a couple of questions about testing for Celiac's.

I have had all the symptom's of Celiac's disease for years and have been tested both blood and biopsy with negative results on both. The most recent blood test came back negative once again but my doctor suggested that I go on a gluten free diet to see if it was any benefit to me. I have been gluten free for 11 days and it has been absolutely the most wonderful experience for me! I have had chronic diarrhea for the past 10 years, severe bloating and pain, problems with malabsorbtion which has led to sever vitamin deficiencies, and severe heartburn..this is just to name a few of the symptoms. Today I'am symptom free thanks to eating gluten free, the difference is like night and day and I can't tell you how incredibly happy I'am to be feeling normal again and not feel trapped by having to only go places where there is a 'good' bathroom!! This has been truly a blessing and I will be eating this way for the rest of my life.

I would really like to find out if I have a gluten allergy or Celiac's disease and I read about Enterolab and the testing that it does for Celiac's. I would really like to know if anyone has used their lab and how it went for them....I appreciate any information:)

Thankyou for reading and I'am so greatful to have found a community for this.

Blessing,

Jodl

Hi and so glad you found us.

Many people here have used Enterolab, and many times it can be another piece of the puzzle. However, Enterolab cannot diagnose Celiac Disease. They do test for a

variety of sensitivities.

Personally, I'm a bit skeptical of Enterolabs, but there are those here who were quite pleased with their experience.

A warning is issued for a violation of these rules:

I grew up in a strictly meat-n-potatoes family and have only made rice myself once or twice but it seems like a lot of gluten free recipes use it to replace pasta (which I'm still mourning, btw - I know there are gluten-free brands and they're pretty good, but just not quite the same... especially w/o the cream sauce! lol!). So, 2 questions - what do you like to do with it other than just having it plain and can I make a lot of it and refrigerate &/or freeze some to use ther rest of the week?

Chicken and rice casserole

Wild rice or blended rice

Rice pudding - yummy

White rice served with scrambled eggs

Rice biscuits

Gumbo

Shrimp scampi over rice

Summer rice salad

Rice, bean, corn and onions

Hoppin' John

Fried Rice

....just a few off the top of my head.

(not all are gluten free by can be easily adapted)

I never tried to freeze rice, because it's so easily made.

I was afraid you all would tell me maltose wasn't safe. Boo! We have been buying this imported candied ginger in an oriental market. The outside of the packages just say ginger, sugar and tapioca...but today I discovered that the individual wrapped pieces also added maltose to that list of ingredients in very, very small print. I had to get a magnifying glass out just to be sure that it really said maltose. What a bummer! Now I will quit eating any of this and see if my intestines calm down. Something subtle has been bothering me, so guess it is likely the candy. Thanks to all of you for the info. I will certainly try making some on my own. I appreciate the recipe and it doesn't sound too difficult. Heaven knows I have grown addicted to the stuff!

Maltose is not of a gluten concern!

There are a few other things that can cause villious atrophy, but Celiac Disease is the most common. Celiac symptoms and positive dietary response can also be diagnostic.

Has anyone experienced gluten symptoms from wine? Specifically white wine? I've been getting mild symptoms after having white wine the main symptom being the lump of mucus feeling in the throat and I'm wondering what that is. I know wine is gluten free so it seems odd that it would be a glutening symptom. I'm wondering if it's just causing some GERD? Anyone have any thoughts?

You could be reacting to the sulfides in the wine. Some do. I do tend to get GERD from time to time with wine. Make sure you eat something with your wine. It helps.

Chanel and Dior lipsticks are gluten free.

ALL Chanel and Dior Lipstick?

A quote from the Bush's site!

All BUSH'S products made after May, 2010 are gluten-free.

We have recently reformulated our Chili Beans products and our Chili Magic Chili Starter products to no longer contain wheat flour. The ingredient statements on these products now state Modified Corn Starch. Due to store inventory rotation and other elements beyond our control, we still urge you to check the labels before consuming these products if you have gluten restrictions.

We do use cornstarch in some of our products, but it does not contain gliadin gluten from wheat, barley, oats, or rye grains, which may cause adverse responses in persons suffering from Celiac Sprue. Any vinegar used in our products is corn-based and distilled.

Good to know! Thank you for posting this.

How does one know the source of the glucose syrup on this label? Is there any assurance that it is NOT derived from wheat? And if glucose and dextrose are highly processed, do they fall into an exemption category because there is theoretically no protein left? I could not find any exemption language in the FDA stuff I reviewed, but there is a lot of information to sort through. Thanks!

If the glucose syrup was derived from wheat, it by law, must be listed at GLUCOSE SYRUP (Wheat). If it does not indicate wheat, its derived by something other....In the US.

The offending protein is removed during processing and it's my understanding that any remaining protein would not be detectable. It's not one level of processing, but several.

"Conclusions: Wheat-based starch hydrolysates, glucose syrups and maltodextrins did not have harmful effect on coeliac disease patients. Coeliac patients can thus safely continue to consume these products."

From my understanding if glucose syrup is made from wheat it has to be declared on the lable. My son picked up some mentos and mentos gum the other day and it stated that glucose syrup(wheat) on the lable.

Yes,this is true. If an ingredient is generated from wheat it, by US law, must be added to to the label.

Glucose and Dextrose are a couple of ingredients that are HIGHLY processed and the remaining gluten may not even be detectable.

Try a health food store, they would be more likely to have the outlier stuff. I have an older tube of Ecco Bella that can be mail ordered, and another shade in the Revlon, but it sounds like you are needing it sooner. Ecco Bella has a store locator search page now: Open Original Shared Link

I thank you all for you replies. I live in "The Prettiest Town in the South" consisting of 6,000 people. Cities are an hour and half away. There are reasons why we live here, but accessibility to variety is not one of them.

We have a Walgreen's (a new and exciting store) and a CVS. The only option for a health store, would be the one I might open when the economy turns....who knows when.

Thanks, I will peruse Walgreen's with a mag glass with the options offered here. Yes, off for a family reunion this weekend.

I've never had any issues with Burts Bees, I don't have DH...just plain old celaic, I think it's safe!

BB will clearly list any form of gluten, in readable print.

I use the Neutrogena lip gloss. Target now sells the ELF brand, I recently checked that and it was OK too.

Thanks Rachelle..but desperate for color to off-set this rapidly graying hair.

I'm looking for some commonly available, recently company confirmed, gluten free varieties of lipstick. A flea couldn't read the ingredients on a small tube of lipstick.

I'm out of my special Mary Kay and no time to order.

Thanks.

A one year old search here found:

Revlon - Color Stay Lipstick

Neutrogena - Lip Boost Intensive Moisture Lipstick

Lip Moisture Therapy

Lip Nutrition - all

Anyone with a current confirmation?
