  2. Yup, Maltodextrin in the US and Canada is derived from corn. It is confusing ....malt is bad, but maltodextrin is ok. Check out the safe and forbidden ingredients on the home page here.
  3. Oh my goodness!!! Thank you Peter for clearing that up.
  4. Gluten to a person with Celiac involves wheat, barley, malt and rye. Wheat Free would not include the other offending proteins of barley, malt and rye. As Raven said, to answer your question.... no.
  5. In addition, as mentioned in the above quote, caramel color is so highly processed, any gluten, regardless of the source, is removed during that process. Caramel color should be safe the the general Celiac community to consume.
  6. Open Original Shared Link Caramel color Corn is used to make caramel color in the U.S. The FDA does permit use of barley malt but all major caramel color producers say corn makes a better product. Open Original Shared Link BUT registered dietitian Shelley Case, who is on the medical advisory board of the Celiac Disease Foundation, the Gluten...
  7. Yes, it does Kim For those learning the twists and turns of the diet, I would recommend www.CeceliasMarketplace.com, a Gluten Free Grocery Guide that is published annually. After that first year, you will learn to read labels, which is the best way to purchase food and eat safely.
  8. Caramel color is not a concern for people with Celiac. If an ingredient was derived from wheat, it must be listed on the lable.
  9. OHHHHH! Beautiful baby and beautiful photography! Hope Mom is doing well and deserving of attention too!! Girls are so special.
  10. It should be available sometime in the FALL! Yippie!
  11. Hello and Welcome! According to what I understand from the research I have read, lab results are not as accurate as we would like, for children under the age of 5. It has something to do with antibody productions in their little bodies??? Hopefully, others could clarify this. As an adult, the scope was easy (except the the adult anxiety). They put...
  12. Looks free of gluten. Enjoy! Whey is diary related. It might be better to eat simply for a few weeks. Meats, seafood, veggies, fruit, rice or potatoes. Stay away from processed foods for a while. ( but that does not mean that they will hurt you - it just give your body a break).
  13. Do a Google search for "Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing - Gluten Free" or "BBQ Sauce - Gluten Free". Most times, you can find an answer. We LOVE Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce.
  14. The competition for attention to various diseases in May is extraordinary. No wonder so many people still have never heard of celiac disease ! In a web search in only 3 sites, I identified no less than 19 diseases who want attention in May. Many of them are better known and better funded for research such as cancer, MS, and arthritis to mention a few. But...
  15. .......IF, you have a topical allergy to gluten, as Gemini has stated previously. Celiac, specifically, reacts to the autoimmune reaction in the small intestines, generally ingested through the mouth. Gluten can not penetrate the skin into the digestive system. So, if you're not crying your makeup into your mouth or ingesting your mascara.......
  16. BUT, after the sealing process, they are rinsed and rinsed and rinsed. Most likely to the point that minuscule, if any, residual gluten remains in the barrel. (according to what I have read, and it's been an active topic here in the past.) Don't you think if wine were a danger to those with Celiac or a gluten intolerance, the support associations would...
  17. I would like to know what wines are NOT gluten free? What balsamic vinegars are not gluten free? If you have supportive evidence, please post it. It's always hard to deal with this diet, but no need to make it harder than it is already.
  18. I would not recommended a commercial cleanse with a compromised digestive system, for those with Celiac. I also think that it's a gimmick for profit, directed to those who are ill. BUT, that's my opinion... that not all share. Drinking extra water with lemon, is the best natural cleanse available, and it won't disrupt the balance of the good bacteria...
  19. They sent me a sampling of their products recently and I found them to be very good. They are trying to expand their base to some main line grocery stores, so any help any of you could do would be great to get their products within reach.
  20. I thought that others would like to see McD's listing of gluten free options as well.
  21. http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/nutritionexchange/nutrition_ingredients.html McFrappes Gluten Free: McCafe Frappes Frappe Caramel (Small): Caramel Coffee Frappe Base, Ice, Whipped Cream, Caramel Drizzle Frappe Caramel (Medium): Caramel Coffee Frappe Base, Ice, Whipped Cream, Caramel Drizzle Frappe Caramel (Large): Caramel Coffee Frappe Base,...
  22. Welcome back Steph! So glad that things are going well. Baby pool, LOL! I remember, with Angie too.
  23. Yes, no gluten ingredients listed.
  24. <SIGH>
