ARCHIVED Campbells Soup
hez replied to Noel1965's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I use Swanson's broth all the time. Some are not gluten-free though so you need to be careful. I only use the Natural Goodness (or something like that) chicken broth in the can. I see if I can't find my sheet that lists the swanson's broth. Hez -
ARCHIVED Glutino´s Amazing Products
hez replied to vanesonica's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I think I ordered the Glutino ice cream cones from the web. It probably came from shopbydiet.com. The cones are fragile and there is some breakage. But it is minimal and worth it for the chance to have an ice cream cone. Hez -

ARCHIVED Are Smarties gluten-free?
hez replied to TriticusToxicum's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My understanding (not being in Canada) is that the smarties in the US are a different candy. The smarties in Canada are similar to m&ms. The US smarties are a sugary treat, no chocolate. Hez -
ARCHIVED Totally Forgot About Pms...
hez replied to Nantzie's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
This happens to me all the time! Hez -
ARCHIVED Flavored Coffee Creamers
hez replied to KrisT's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My guess is cc from the restaurant. I have had the flavored creamers (not that flavor) and not had problems. Hope you feel better soon. Hez -
ARCHIVED Caramel Color ?
hez replied to Mamato2boys's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
My understanding is that carmel color in the US is safe for celiacs. Most sodas (pepsi, coke) are gluten-free. Hez -
ARCHIVED Rice Krispy Treats Recipe ?
hez replied to Mamato2boys's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
I am only gluten-free so I am not sure about the other issues. In the past I have used Kraft marshmellows, margarine/butter and a gluten-free rice crisp cereal (I cannot remember the name Erewin?). Hopefully, someone who has similar issues can be of more help than me Hez -
ARCHIVED Benadryl
hez replied to shai76's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I use the children's liquid and do not have problems. I remember it being gluten-free but I could not find that information on their website. I will keep looking and post if I find something. Hez Found this on the Benadryl website. Hez Q. Do any of the Benadryl® products contain gluten? A. We do not specifically test for the presence of gluten ... -
ARCHIVED Caramel Coloring
hez replied to Raquel's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Thank you for joining in Richard! I will keep looking to see where I read that carmel color in the US is safe. Maybe it was Gluten Free Living magazine? Hez -
ARCHIVED Hellman's Mayonnaise
hez replied to cycler's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I use Best Foods (same as Hellman's West of the Rockies) without issue. It is a Unilever company and I thought that is one of the companies that clearly labels. Hez -
ARCHIVED Velveeta
hez replied to panda's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We use velveeta for those cheesy dips at family functions (was just at one this weekend). I always read the label just in case ingredients change! Everytime I read it it is gluten-free however, the rest of the ingredients may shock you Hez -
ARCHIVED Growth/nodule On Thyroid?
hez replied to frenchiemama's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
My doc found a nodule on my thyroid about 14 years ago. Had an ultra sound (don't remember what they found out), had some type of scan, then had a needle biopsy that came back clean. The ENT didn't believe the biopsy (can't remember why) and did surgery. Turns out I had cancer and a tumor on one side of my thyroid. They removed the entire thyroid and... -
ARCHIVED Inexperienced Newbie Got Glutened @ Red Lobster
hez replied to Sissy's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I am so sorry you got sick. Eating out is always risky so I limit how often I go out. When I do go out I try and keep to places that have a gluten-free menu. This does not mean I won't get sick, just gives me some level of comfort that they know what their doing. I remember reading a thread somewhere about Red Lobster not being overly friendly towards... -
I am so glad you had a good trip without getting sick! Hez

ARCHIVED Snickers...
hez replied to chgomom's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have not had problems with Snickers. Could it be something else? Maybe too much sugar? Hez -
ARCHIVED Negative Biopsy?
hez replied to Ottonegirl's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
IMHO biopsy could come back negative. The endoscopy might have not gone where the damage was. Was she eating alot of gulten for five weeks? I am not sure how much or for how long you need to be on gluten to get damage to show up. At this point it sounds like the docs don't think she has it so it is up to you. If you think she has it keep her gluten-free... -
ARCHIVED What Alcohol Can I Drink?
hez replied to helptom's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I drink Maker's Mark whiskey with no problem. I remember seeing it on a gluten-free list somewhere. I will see if I can find it. Hez -
Actually, the US has no law regarding gluten-free, the definition or how many ppm is allowable for gluten-free. It is my understanding that the FDA is looking into the issue and is expected to rule/make a report (whatever they do) regarding gluten-free in the US sometime next year. Hez

ARCHIVED Caramel Coloring
hez replied to Raquel's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I remember reading somewhere (yes, I know that is not helpful) that carmel color is safe if made in the US. For example coke-a-cola has carmel color but is gluten-free. Hopefully, someone more on top of things (I'm thinking Richard) will pipe in! Hez -
ARCHIVED What Alcohol Can I Drink?
hez replied to helptom's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If you like Midori (melon liquor, bright green color) it is gluten-free as well as DiSorno (sp?) amaretto (sp?). I contacted the company about a year and a half ago and was informed both are gluten-free. Hez -
ARCHIVED Hidden Valley Ranch
hez replied to kaciemarie's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Even though the ingredients look okay it is not gluten-free. It is not as good but Kraft makes a ranch dressing and premade dip that is safe. Hez -
I avoided lunch meat with both pregnancies. I ate leftovers or made chicken/beef for sandwhiches. The good news is that after nine months you get eat it again! Hez

ARCHIVED Cream Of Chicken Soup
hez replied to hannahsue01's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
When I went gluten-free I thought I would have to throw out all of our favorite recipes that had soup in it. I found this website for gluten-free cream of anything. Open Original Shared Link The texture and consistency is as close as I have come to the "real" thing. It is very easy to make (not as easy as opening a can, but those days are over). ...
