And, your information is only as good as your customer service representative.

I use HerbOx, and they are labeled "gluten free".

Yup, word got out and CarlaB posted on the Lyme Disease Thread.

Be easy on yourself and your mother. Unless you live in a bubble, you can't guarantee that you will always be safe.

We don't live in a perfect world and we can only do the best that we can. Blame should be used sparingly, because the cause and reason usually comes back to us. Few live in our world.

Educate yourself and hope for the best. There is a good quality of life out there. Ya gotta reach for it.

Crusty/seedy french bread and carrot cake cup cakes w/ cream cheese frosting from Gluten Free Galley. I can't wait!

BUT it's gluten free!

Ah, so you are away at school and your non-gluten free mom is cooking for you? Yes?

I didn't think so. I'm still 95% sure it was the banana bread, triggered by the caffeine in the Earl Grey tea, but I just couldn't have the "I don't feel comfortable with you cooking for me anymore" talk with my mother tonight.

Would you mom consider a food diary? Of course that would include meds, vitamins, lotions, shared household equipment......

My mom keeps coming up with bizarre possible gluten sources; tap water is the latest. I think she just feels guilty about likely cross-contaminating the gluten-free banana bread she made for me this weekend, but you have to wonder.

I'm at school in Mankato and the Minnesota River is at flood stage. I'm not 100% sure where the city water comes from, but at least some of it has to come from the river which is surrounded by farm fields and looks pretty nasty from the run-off after a heavy rainfall.

So many people are worried about chemicals and hormones in our water supply because of medication disposal, why not gluten?

Because the mixture of proteins, including gliadins and glutelins, found in wheat grains, are not soluble in water.

I would revisit other things.

I dont want my username to be this anymore for multiple reasons but i cant find the option in the 'my profile' page, settings, etc. can i even do this?

Yup, contact that administrator (Scott Adams) and it can happen. And send him a message: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/user/2-admin/

Anxiety is very natural, especially in public places. Be diligent with your diet and you symptoms should subside. But, it's common that neurological symptoms recover lastly.

Take a vitamin supplement. I take Healthy Accents Prenatal Vitamins (my baby years are long done, but I like what they offer).

And don't forget that a "normal" life can be had. And it might be just around the corner. Be careful what you eat, trust in yourself, live by your "gut" (literally).

Be patient with yourself and pamper yourself once in a while. There is a very healthy, productive, fun life out there - even with Celiac Disease.

Here is additional information:

The Canadian Celiac Association (CCA) has investigated a variety of blue cheese on the market and found that very few are made using bread mold, and when they are, the test results completed by Health Canada found no detectable levels of gluten in the final product. The new CCA Acceptability of Food and Food Ingredients for the Gluten-Free Diet pocket dictionary lists blue cheese as allowed on a gluten-free diet.

I suppose that Triumph felt that a blanket gluten free statement could not/should not be made, at this time. Many, many blues are gluten free.

Yeah I got a bleach wipe and wiped down everything when I got off my laptop LOL

Bleach won't kill the gluten, maybe germs, but not gluten.

GO! GO! GO!

If you were my kid, that's what I'd tell you. Eating plain rice and vegetables would hurt you at all for just one month. You can work it out. Don't let fear guide your decisions. Educate yourself and GO!

I agree! Life is to short for "I should haves".

Hi, this is my first post, but in my research into celiac disease I have searched this forum on many topics... and my symptoms tick all the boxes from chronic fatigue through to drenching night sweats, eye tics, bloating, diarrhea, teeth grinding, irregular menstrual cycles ... the lot... However, I just received my endoscopy results and they are clear. Not sure what to do now. Has anyone out there just taken things into their own hands and gone gluten free and felt better, despite the negative medical diagnosis? Ta

Yes, about 75% (or much more) of the people on this forum. Give it a go. But it means 100% gluten free. There are lots of members who will guide you through it.

Welcome!

Does anyone know if scope is gluten free? Or did I just unintentionally gluten myself?

Thanks.

Can you list the ingredients?

Sometimes you can do a google search for "Scope - gluten free", and find a satisfactory answer.

This might be helpful.

I have a spouse with Celiac and it is hard to keep things straight. I would like to start a support group. Does anyone has any info on the best way to do this?

Celiac Disease Foundation

Gluten Intolerant Group

All have starter kits for your geographic area. Good luck and thanks.

OK, now I'm asking dating advice from people who have been married since time began, but you are the most knowledgeable group of people I know so....

When we said goodbye last night he said something about getting together again soon. I emailed him today just saying thank you and how much fun it was and how I hoped we could swap travel stories again soon. He replied with 'yes, let's do this again soon'.

Now, does this mean I'm supposed to propose a time and place? Or do I wait and let him pursue? I never did understand these rules.

If you don't hear from the guy, time to move on....she says out of the blue.

....poop in to say "hi". Hi!

Good advise from the others. Unless there are other indications that might warrant a hysterectomy, I would be a quick learn and go gluten free.

This place will be invaluable to you in the next few months. We're here to help.

so basically that was a brush off right??? i don't think there are any safe candy corn?????????

A brush off no. Just thought you might want to make a simple phone call and verify for yourself. It took 30 seconds to do it myself. Brachs Candy Corn are indeed free of any gluten ingredients. Have a whole bag full.

The only college in BV these days is Southern Virginia University. Southern Sem is long gone. Right, Lisa?

Yup, loooong gone!

I would like to unsubscribe from this group, because it turns out that I am not gluten intolerant.

However, I can't figure out how to unsubscribe.

Evidently there are 2 ways, but I can't seem to find either one.

l/You can unsubscribe at any time by logging into your control panel and clicking on the "Manage Watched Forums" link in the "Forums" tab.

But where is the Manage Watched Forums link???

2/Send an email to the administrator.

But, I can't find any place on this site with a link to the administrator.

I would appreciate any help!

thanks!

Contact the admin and he will delete your account. You are always welcome back.

Does anyone know if Minute Maid's 100% fruit juice blends are gluten free? I would hope that it would be, but they have some rather non-specific ingredients on the label...

The Coca-Cola Company

Gluten-free food list from a letter from Coca-Cola dated February 25, 2010:

We are able to confirm the following as gluten free:

* Coca-Cola

* Caffeine free Coca-Cola classic

* Coca-Cola Zero

* Caribou Iced Coffee

* Barq

I would consider that a CYA Statement. In a world of lawsuits and liability, it's becoming more and more common.

There really isn't any ways to guarantee a product is 100% free of all contaminants, unless you live in a bubble. Applying the best precautions in an imperfect world, is all you can do.

I would drink the coffee.
