Yoplait is the way to go. They will list any forms of gluten, which is only in the cookies/granola, on their ingredient listing. I believe they will label gluten free now.

Patti said..... "just sayin".

Thank you, Lisa!!

Do a search here on the SCD diet (it's only a cazillian pages long). ALL your questions will be answered.

I'll see if I can find it:

I'm leaning toward not making a fuss as the pilot is a perfectionist who will not go unless he has checked every little bit. Both my parents (yes, surprisingly even my mom) used to fly before they needed the money for more important things like me, sis & bro. Would be interested to hear Lisa B's thoughts. Thanks, Peter.

All Pilots have to have recurrent check rides annually, as well as the plane must have an annual inspection. Professional Pilots, twice a year.

Karen, ask how many hours the pilot has in that particular plane, as well as other planes. Check the weather. If the temperature is in the 90's and the plane is heavy with overweight people. Sit it out. An over weighted (illegal) plane can effect it's performance greatly.

It sound like you're familiar with the Pilot. That's a good assessment there! Doctors and Lawyers have the highest mortality rate in airplanes, due to the fact that they have the ability to buy more plane than their ability. All airplanes bite fools.

If you have weighed some of these factors and feel comfortable, tell him to enjoy his trip. And remember, the Pilot's ass is in that airplane too!

premature post, most likely...

But, I met a Psilly today!

Happy that Patti is where she should be.

Well that's not good news. I did notice the disarray on the shelf the other day.

M&M's are made by Mars, not Hershey. I would call and ask if they are made on shared equipment.

Oooop... Still true about Hershey.

just curious if anyone has heard if m&m's are still gluten free? now that they are making pretzel filled m&m's i wasn't sure if cc is a risk now.

Not sure, but getting an honest, forthright answer out of Hershey, would be nothing less than a miracle. They have never been a "Celiac" friendly corporation.

wood resins are used in Gatorade, and I am allergic to most wood.

A birthday cake is not an issue! We have Betty Crocker now...thank goodness. Try the chocolate cake mix, with Pillsbury Choc. Frosting.. but always read the labels.

Monosodium glutamate is controversial, but is definitely gluten-free.

In Asian countries, it can be derived from gluten, as I recall.

Did anyone hear if McDonald's is changing their gluten free menu? The website nutrtion info appears to be different and with only the wheat listing for allergens, I can't find anything mentioning gluten-free options now.

They list all ingredients and declare allergens. That's pretty simple

I'm afraid that most companies are getting away from listing their products as "gluten free", instead they are listing products by ingredients, as in McD's or declaring "NO GLUTEN INGREDIENTS".

Declaring something gluten free is a formidable guarantee, without testing.

Just found the cooking forum,

These were awesome!

Thank you so much! I have tried it myself and now know I left out several key ingredients. It's one of my favorites!

Breakstone Cottage Cheese is owned by Kraft. Kraft's labeling policy is to disclose ALL forms of gluten to include wheat, rye, barley. If you don't see it on the label, it ain't in there.

I don't know of any common cottage cheese that contains gluten.

Dannon is notoriously a bad labeler. I stick with Yoplait.

I second that! I like to buy products that are open and willing to label their stuff "gluten free"

Here - Here for Yoplait!!!

Just saw that Yoplait has created a frozen smoothie product that is sold in the frozen section of grocery stores. Does anyone know if these are gluten free? The ingredients seem okay, but I haven't eaten any yoplait products since before I went gluten free. Has anyone tried these?

Yoplait will always list all forms of gluten. Just watch out for the cookies and crumbs, etc...

or on the fact that specifically, they used wheat DNA in the process?

I was asked to post this from a member. I would think the "wheat" association, is where it would grab interest of discussion. Although, I would think that bio genetic engineering is far different than transferring the protein found in wheat,(which endangers those with Celiac Disease), to the bearing fruit of a chestnut tree.

I was asked to submit this article. It could prove to be an interesting discussion:

"The embryos were infused with a synthetic gene, along with genes from wheat and a spruce tree, all believed to contain material that will help the trees resist blight....."

Hmm, so it is gluten free, but probably has cc issues then??

maybe too much of a good thing.

Even a little dairy can leave me feeling bloated and uncomfortable. But, everyone is different.

It's always good to go to the source for the most accurate information:

Information about Gluten

Federal Definition of "Gluten-Free"

The January 23 edition of the Federal Register contained a notice of proposed rule making to define the use of the term "gluten-free" for voluntary use for food labeling, to mean that the food does not contain any of the following: An ingredient that is any species of the grains wheat, rye, barley or a crossbred hybrid of these grains, an ingredient derived from them and that has not been processed to remove the gluten, or that has been processed to remove the gluten but more than 20 ppm remains. In addition, a food made from oats that bears a gluten-free claim in its labeling would be deemed misbranded if the claim suggests that all such foods are gluten-free or if 20 ppm or more of gluten is present in the food.

Gluten Content of Blue Bunny® Products

Obvious gluten-containing ingredients in Blue Bunny® products include items with wafers, cookies, brownies, cookie dough, bisque and pretzels. For the safety of our customers, if any ingredient such as a flavoring, stabilizer, emulsifier, color or coating contains gluten, it will be named in the ingredient statement. In general, Blue Bunny® products are gluten-free unless they contain obvious gluten-containing ingredients or gluten content is otherwise noted in a product's ingredient statement.

Yes. I would contact your doctor and get a full metabolic work-up to check vitamin and mineral deficiencies, first before you explore other issues. Often the neurological symptoms are the last to leave, but you better check to make sure that there may not be an imbalance of some sort.

And concentrate on a full - balanced diet.

I would agree with Gemini. The dust from sanding the plaster could easily have gotten into her nose or mouth. Swallowing the dust could certain trigger a Celiac reaction. I hope she recovers quickly.

As I have said, earlier in my post that Enterolabs can draw some emotional responses. But, as all replies here, they should be dealt with, with the greatest respect and courtesy. All posters should be allow to speak with respect and responded to with respect.

I have always stated, that if Enterolabs can be a piece of the puzzle for some.

Most of the submissions to Enterolabs are from people with digestive issues. They will find something. Make a wise and educated choice.

Moral of this story is, know your body and listen well. Make informed choices and don't pay anyone to draw a conclusion that you already know the answer too.

I wish you all well and good health.
