If you would like to get a good idea of how gluten-free bread handles versus regular bread (easier and more like a wet dough) you can pick up a gluten-free bread mix and give it a try.  Lots come with yeast packet included. I highly recommend the King Arthur Flour gluten-free Bread Mix- my gluten eater husband willingly eats it and it freezes and thaws well without the need for toasting.  But there are a lot of good recipes out there and on the forum, so feel free to search through and start with one of those.

Always a great reminder.  A lot of the dangers that come along with stores catering to fad dieters have come to a peak lately.  

I now only see the cookie dough of the three.  I assume it will fall the way of some of the other products that manufacturers made gluten-free to get the fad dieter sales but were pulled when people who eat gluten-free because it is cool don't want to pay 5 dollars for one tub of cookie dough or pie crust.

For pie I use the Open Original Shared Link.  You can make it in a food processor instead of blending with a pastry blender by hand, as long as you are careful.  It is easier to make a gluten-free pie crust as there is no gluten to overdevelop and ruin the tenderness of the pie.  You do want to leave pea sized pieces of butter, though, so be conservative with mixing.  I recommend following the method that theOpen Original Shared Link uses, kind of tells you how to make sure the food processor doesn't beat it to death.  Anything gluten-free I roll out between two sheets of parchment, it is totally worth the few cents.

Generally with things like canned veggies, a read through of the ingredients list is all you need to be okay.  No gluten ingredients=ok.  If there was nothing on the can indicating otherwise, it is going to be safe.  If you want to be double sure for if you use it in the future, you can write or call the manufacturer.

Welcome to the forum!

If you are truly going to be away from any way of purchasing any type of food product, I know a lady who makes and dehydrates her own gluten-free food for backpacking trips.  There are a lot of websites dedicated to that craft, so those may help and if you are in this situation in the future, investing in a dehydrator and foodsaver may be a good choice.  If you will be able to cook there, bring a bunch of beans and rice along with an electric skillet or something to cook them in?  Either way, I do not recommend going off solids for a whole month unless it is medically indicated and completely unavoidable.  Your employer may also be required to provide accommodations to you under the Americans with disabilities act, in that if they are controlling where you will be stuck for a month, they will need to make sure you have access to adequate, allergen-free nourishment.  So this may be the time to ask for accommodations through your HR department.  Obviously there are many variables affecting that, but if you haven't gone to someone official and mentioned your need for allergen free accommodations I highly recommend trying that first.  If the company has a way to get real food for others out there, they really should be able to ship food for you out there.

If your situation is so unique that you truly don't have any of those options, I do recommend looking into making and dehydrating your own food, and also re-evaluating your employment situation since your health is worth more than anything.

Welcome to the forum, Debbie.  Do note this thread is five years old and some of the information may be outdated.  Also, if you have Celiac disease, eating broccoli sprouts and aloe vera is not going to cure it, only a gluten-free diet will.  However, before you trial a gluten-free diet, do head to a gastroenterologist to get properly diagnosed first as you must be consuming gluten for the testing to be accurate.

Thanks. I try to avoid social media (I think!) so unless I get really desperate, I don't think I'll join. But I appreciate knowing that.

 

What I've thought about doing is using evaporated milk (instead of sweetened condensed milk) and a tiny amount of sugar. I can add a likewise reduced amount of sugar to the heavy cream for the topping (whipped). I'm googgling the two types of milk now, and they may actually not be interchangeable, so I'll need to read more. The final trick after that will be the crust. There are plenty of gluten-free crusts but as most of us know, for bread products, sugar is often increased to disguise the fact that it doesn't taste as good (in my opinion!).

Pinterest is less scary than other social media sites. You should be able to use it just fine and click through to the original page it links to, without signing up.

Welcome to the forum!

Whether or not you get a niacin flush when taking niacin supplements depends on a lot of factors.  Many niacin supplements are made to be "flush free" with things like special coatings, since consumers may find that bothersome.  Also, the dose overall could be different.  Since you probably don't know the exact specifications of what you took 10 years ago, that won't be able to be determined.  If you have Celiac disease and you have unhealthy absorption in your small intestine, that could affect any flush, as well as whether or not it was taken with food.

Your statement of a gluten-free diet reducing the activity of PD1 receptors has no evidence to support it.  If a person with Celiac disease is properly following a gluten-free diet and has a fully healed small intestine, they actually absorb things better, which can lead to different experiences with things like alcohol, caffeine, and vitamins.  There are so many variations of products out there, you really cannot accurately do a controlled comparison to your experience now versus ten years ago.  Something as specific as a statement about the PD 1 receptors just cannot be supported with weak anecdotal evidence.

I have seen things on places like pinterest where you use a hard cheese and bake it to make crisps out of them... like parmesean in cupcake pans.  May be something to give you that mouth feel.

Here's a great site for gin knowledge:  Open Original Shared Link

 

Bombay Sapphire Gin IS gluten free, naturally.  See below:

 

So what is inside the bottle? Bombay Sapphire’s recipe is based on 10 botanicals. They include traditional gin botanicals such as juniper berries, citrus, angelica and orris root. To these are added coriander, liquorice, cassia bark, almonds, cubeb berries and West African grains of paradise. And, although it is a London Dry gin Bombay Sapphire is made differently to most other London Dry style gins. A triple distilled, 100% neutral grain spirit is first poured into still, at the end of the lyne pipe at the very top of the still is a set of copper baskets into which the botanicals are carefully layered. The spirit becomes vapour as heat is applied and, as it travels upwards through the baskets, it extracts the oils of the botanicals within. On its journey back through the condenser it becomes liquid again. In the normal way feints and foreshots are removed and the spirit, now Bombay Sapphire gin, is collected in the spirit receiver. It is reduced to 40% ABV (47%ABV in the US) using pure water and finally bottled.

The physical therapy they do for that is a little more advanced than just Kegels, definitely worth a try.  I have heard some good things about it from my interstitial cystitis group.

I have seen lots of new breyers stuff. Haven't tried any of them, but it wouldn't surprise me if they are focusing growth in the south, given the absence of blue bell.  Before the recall it would take up more than half a texas ice cream aisle.   

Oh yes, the hatch products are certified gluten-free too.  I like their enchilada sauce.  

Stubbs BBQ sauces and marinades are certified gluten-free by the GFCO.  They are very good  I think the liquid smoke is the only one that is not.

Is this like Oprah's favorite things where you surprise us all with free cake?  Because I really want to go over to whole foods now and buy one of each!!!! 

It is fine to post what your favorite products or recommendations.  Just not if you sell it/own it/are affiliated.  Heck, without the guidance of this forum on what the good items are, I would have wasted so much more money.    

Applegate Farms Beef Hot Dogs are so good.  Makes regular hot dogs taste inferior.  Tinkyada is also my favorite pasta.

Hi Googles, I have merged this into the previous topic to avoid confusion.  It will still show at the top for people as unread.  

Also, I get emails about the University of Chicago Celiac Disease center and their fundraisers... here is a link to one with restaurants that cater to it, may be a good place to start looking: Open Original Shared Link

Have you seen a doctor about this yet?  It maybe a good idea to set up an appointment, since so many things can cause a rash.

Well, enough of you guys keep talking about these flourless PB cookie recipes that I am gonna try it now.  Definitely no harm in adding chocolate, either, LOL!     

PURELL IS NOT GLUTEN FREE. I called the company today to see if Purell was still gluten free. I was informed that it is not gluten free. The only Purell that is gluten free is their alcohol free version Product number 5784-04. I see it online but it's insanely expensive - like $64 for a pack of 4 bottles. 

 

For the Soapopular, I haven't found anything online saying whether it's gluten free or not. I've written to the company. 

Do note that this thread is 8 years old so product information may change over time, and users may no longer be active.

Looking at ingredients on purell's website, I see nothing that would be a gluten ingredient.  If you called them and they gave you the "we dont add gluten but we also dont test for it and therefore cannot guarantee our product is gluten-free" answer, do know that in the case of something like this that means it can be considered gluten-free.  Given that it is a regulated health product, they will not want to claim it is gluten free if they are not doing testing.  But that doesn't mean it has gluten.  Even if a product like this did have a trace in it, if you are not putting it in your mouth you are okay.  And in the case of hand sanitizer, they add bitterants to deter children from drinking it, so you will taste and know if you accidentally get it in contact with your mouth.

A few contain lactose as an ingredient, but even our dairy free friends need not worry about that because it isn't being ingested.  You can see ingredient lists for all their consumer products here: Open Original Shared Link

The problem when people use things that may not work is that something like an ear infection can go without proper treatment and lead to permanent life altering consequences for a child, like deafness.  It is important to share info like this.  Nothing to do with gluten or other conspiracy theories, the OP was just giving other parents a heads up.

Since no one here is a doctor, and this does not seem directly related to Celiac Disease, I would like to encourage you to see a doctor ASAP in the morning.  They have the diagnostic tools and can look to see what is causing the coloring of the urine, and do further testing if something else is wrong.  No one on the internet speculating what it can be can tell you any more than you already know.  

Omeprazole is available OTC brand and generic and through RX brand and generic.  Whether it is behind or over the counter depends on the strength.  Many insurance plans still pay for it as an RX at the higher strengths, so this is why you see it available both places.

They probably reformulated some of these to be gluten free, so as Karen said, there can be old ones on the shelves for another year or so maybe.  So the ingredients on the website may be for the old version... those kinds of things tend to lag behind sometimes, and companies don't always put up the most current info.  The couple ones I tried had good ingredient lists, since I always look at those.  Taste, however, was not that great.  But edible if I am out of the house and need something.

It definitely is possible for you to get glutened by a kiss, and it is possible that your significant other didn't get everything in his mouth out when he brushed and flossed.  Especially if you were really making out, haha  .   Everyone's reaction to gluten is different, and there are some people who do get sick for weeks from a glutening.  It is possible, however, that it wasn't gluten.  In cases like this it is hard to tell whether it is a gluten reaction or maybe a stomach virus.  If you normally don't get sick for weeks when glutened, it may be possible that you have a stomach bug.  There are some that go around that cause mild discomfort for weeks.  Since you will probably never know, it may be a best practice to not have him eat gluten the day of a date with you.  Also, if he just brushed his teeth and didn't thoroughly floss, there were probably food particles remaining.  But in this case, unless you usually get sick weeks at a time, I am leaning towards another cause.
