The box used to specifically state barley malt, so that's why I'm wondering if this is a new formulation. It does have the "may contain wheat" statement on it, and the box does not state gluten free. I'll see if I can get a call into them tomorrow (my phones at work last week were on the fritz!)

I just found a box yesterday in the store, and out of habit, I checked the ingredients. But, I'm not seeing barley malt (or any malt) listed! The ingredients look gluten free. Now before I go buying out the store or even eating the cereal, can someone else confirm that I'm reading the package correctly? Last week I grabbed an energy bar that I thought...

During American Gladiators (NBC), there was a commercial for a Kenmore refrigerator-- the mother was asking why everything in the house couldn't be in the right place. In this type of refrigerator, everything was in the place it belonged-- look when the kid opens the drawer. I believe there was a box of Wheat Free Van's waffles!!! Would that be a first...

Jenny, This link might help you if you have not already seen it. There's quite the list of accomodating restaurants on here: Open Original Shared Link I don't get up to Fountain Hills often, but we could try to meet up at some point!

Jenny, You'll learn to adjust. I treat different social situations differently.... My immediate family (parents, younger brother, and grandparents) are very good. I was almost 20 when I was diagnosed, so none of them learned all the intricacies of the diet, but they are all aware of the possible concerns (from hidden ingredients to cross-contamination...

Mom, I was a gymnast all my life and was diagnosed with Celiac right before the start of my junior year of college (competing at the Division III level in College). Assuming Paige's life revolved around gymnastics as mine did (my choice!), eating gluten-free is actually going to help her gymnastics. If she's eating gluten, her body is not going to...

When I was diagnosed with celiac almost 3 years ago, my thyroid was normal. Within the past year or so, I've gained weight, began to sweat a lot more, and have quite a few of the other symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Palpitations (occassionally) Heat intolerance (not so much, I live in AZ and love the heat!) Nervousness Insomnia (I rarely sleep through...

I still haven't gotten an email response from the company, but I called them this morning. I'm used to going through the "push 1 for English..... Push 4 for retail locations..." and spending minute after minute fighting my way through the menus to actually speak to a real live person. Well much to my surprise, 2 rings and I am greeted by a live person!...

I have an email in to the company, but I was hoping someone else might have an answer for me in the meantime. I purchased the MLO Vegetable Protein Powder the other day to increase my protein intake a little bit. I looked at the ingredient statement before purchase: Soy protein isolate, soy fiber, corn bran, potato starch, broccoli powder, tomato powder...

Fry's Food (www.frysfood.com) which is a Kroger store, is now offering an online Special Order section. It's for hard-to-find products and they do have quite a few gluten-free items available as well. Shipping is FedEx, and you can check the price of shipping prior to placing an order. I don't think prices are too great, but I do not do a lot of online...

When I had gone to Red Lobster (over a year ago), their butter "mixture" had gluten in it. The location I went to actually coats the OUTSIDE of their taters in the butter at the beginning of the shift. The very alert manager realized this and told me, so I stayed away from the potato. Her words were, "I don't know how sensitive you are. If you want the...

Just an FYI, some of the airlines (US Air for sure) are cracking down on carry on bags-- they are being very strict in enforcing the carry on requirements, and an extra bag of food WILL count as a carry on item! Many airlines don't count take-on food bags as a 'carry on', so if you pack your food in a re-used carry-out bag from a food store/restaurant...

Good news for all you Kroger shoppers. I was in Fry's tonight and their pre-sliced and pre-packaged lunch meats say gluten free at the bottom of the ingredient statement now! I'm talking about the small, single-serve packages that are on sale for $0.53 this week. It really couldn't have worked out better, because I've had a busy week, and I *hopefully...

It's been a year or so since I've last been to Red Lobster, but here's what I remember. First, the response about can't accomodate allergies, that's the corporate's cover-the-butt-statement. Many (not all) individual store managers are VERY accomodating! Unfortunately, the seasoning blends as well as the butter blend used on the veggies AND baked potatoes...
