ARCHIVED Medications & Gluten
Lisa replied to Ranne10's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've been told that finding gluten in pharmaceuticals would be rare these days. But, I'm not sure that's any consolation to you. If you list the pill, perhaps someone here can offer you more information. -
ARCHIVED Kraft And Cross-Contamination O.0
Lisa replied to cavernio's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
There are no gluten containing ingredients in that listing. I trust Kraft and many other companies whose policy is to list all forms of gluten on their ingredient listing or allergen statement. If you don't trust them, don't buy them! I think that the members here can make an informed judgement on what products to buy, without your rant. -

ARCHIVED Mcdonald's Ingredient List New
Lisa replied to freeatlast's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Not really new. As with the french fries, the hydrolyzed wheat has been process to the point of no detectable gluten. But, as in every restaurant (especially fast foods), chance for cross contamination/contact is high. -
Good job at keeping busy. Changing up your routine helps too.

I had a very successful transition with Chantix. I smoked for 30 years and would not/could not even entertain smoking another cigarette. It's been six years. Although, there are disclaimers. I wish you every success!

ARCHIVED Kraft Shredded Cheese?

HUH? I'm pretty knowledgeable about gluten, but I have no need to research corn...thank goodness. I can assume it would be very difficult. -
ARCHIVED Kraft Shredded Cheese?

Not too sure they dust with corn starch. Most use cellulose. -
Thanks for all your replies. I'll be checking with the Doc next week to discuss some things.

Thank you for your reply. Other than chasing a 2 1/2 year old, my fatigue is normal for a 57 year old "Nana". I'm 5'8" or maybe a 1/2" less and weigh accordingly. Now the "hair trigger" temper...I have a witness.

Thanks Janet for that. My PCP is a close friend so I can so I can boss him around, a bit.

Thank you for your replies. This is something that I need to address....one tree at a time.

ARCHIVED How Bad Is Cheating On The Gluten Free Diet Periodically
Lisa replied to icm's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Victoria, It's a visual amount, so we can understand better what 20ppm looks like. Even though you eat as gluten free as possible, you probably consume close to that amount of gluten due to cross contamination in processed gluten free food and other exposures. Most people with Celiac are not even aware of it, or react to it. There are some people...
