    The original post from here is 8 years old and the product information is likely outdated. I would contact manufacturer on any info over a year or so old, but even then things can change.

    Have you subscribed to gluten free watchdog? They have some great test results and info on what tests they do and why. If you want specific items to be tested and will fund it, you may contact them to see if you can help the community as a whole.

    Do note this topic started 9 years ago and some of the posts you guys are replying to are three years old. The crunchy cheetos which I occasionally binge eat are now part of the Frito Lay gluten-free list, so enjoy your cheesy snack!

    It is kind of a well known thing that some people drink their coffee to help them poop. Obviously it is going to affect the GI system + more of some people, and they seem to be suffering from "Gluten Blinders" where everything is blamed on gluten and nothing else can ever be at fault. That is why when, as a celiac, you are trying to figure out what made...

    Great idea to make them in batches and freeze

    Your husband appears to have some bad habits that can be disruptive and cause anxiety for you. I understand both sides of this spat. On one hand, the water that goes into your mouth definitely has not had gluten added to it. On the other hand, the argument does expose the fact that he is not washing his hands immediately after consuming gluten and touching...

    They do make the straight, thin gluten-free pretzel sticks as well. Having been a pretzel fan my whole life, it is not uncommon to find a mutant pretzel in there. They can be extruded with machines, and sometimes the shape doesn't come out right.

    For the recipe you mention, I would just try it and substitute tapioca starch for the potato starch. If that makes it too doughy, then remove the potato starch and adjust the other flour ingredients by a little bit so the total amount is the same. It may be something you have to play around with.

    Do you have any cardiac or respiratory issues? When my asthma is bothering me and I don't get enough oxygen while eating I have those kinds of symptoms you describe. But it could be other things. While I understand it may be easy to point a finger at the cortisol, it is really unlikely to be spiking the way you describe. It is probably caused by something...

    If it is a one time thing, I would not go see a doctor about it. It could be any of the above things you mentioned, like insect bite, ingrown hair, pimple, etc. If it is just the one and it is healing fine it won't need attention. Just one of those things that can happen on the skin, and the body has its way of taking care of it.

    Could you go into detail about what symptoms/evidence leads you to believe that your cortisol level rises when you eat? Cortisol levels in the blood aren't necessarily something that you can feel immediate fluctuations of... rather, cortisol causes slow changes in the body, and if you have high cortisol levels that can beOpen Original Shared Link

    I have lupus with my main symptom being arthritis as well. Lupus is a disease you have to kind of get to know with your personal circumstance. It is a really up and down thing- some days you feel like death, and others you feel just fine. On the days you feel great, you have to be mindful to not overdo it and pay for it the next few days. It is all about...

    A therapist is not going to have the extensive medical knowledge to understand every chronic condition out there. The first few sessions with any new therapist are always going to be building the base so they understand you and what you are going through. There won't be as much work in those first sessions, they are more of you telling your story. So,...

    While I haven't tried that specific recipe, most pie crusts can be frozen before baking. Things like fruit pies can be frozen whole unbaked and then put into the oven for easy prep.

    Welcome to the forum, pippy! Do note that this thread is five years old and product information may have changed in that time. Store gluten-free lists are not all-encompassing. As far as applesauce goes, check the ingredients and if there is no gluten ingredient and no allergen statement, you are going to be fine eating it.

    Welcome to the board! Do note that the original post here is 8 years old and product info can change over time. While the fermentation may partially modify some things in the beer, they still contain gluten. I recommend not drinking any beer that does not at least go through a gluten removal process, and it is my opinion that gluten-removed beers...

    If they are serving any type of food that has to be prepared, at the minimum can you arrange to get some raw veggies from the cafeteria? Like carrots, other stuff that you can rinse off well?

    I feel they are safe to eat for me. I have been eating them for breakfast lately, and was screaming jumping up and down when I first found them at a store with the gluten-free logo on them. Just like anything else, they are not going to be for everybody. Not all Celiacs can tolerate oats, and if you aren't used to eating a lot of oats and high fiber foods...

    They are discontinuing the chex GF oatmeal, the news came out this week. It is due to poor sales. That is why I try to give my money to the trusted GF brands like Bobs and Glutenfreeda- the major companies aren't doing it to serve people with Celiac disease, they are doing it to make money.

    It is important to note that this study that blew up news sites with misleading headlines does not totally discredit gluten sensitivity. It is a single small study that does show that many people who think they are gluten intolerant and do not have a diagnosis of Celiac disease actually have a problem with FODMAPS. That is actually a real issue, but does...

    In the pharmacy field, touching meds with your bare hands is a no-no. It does happen out of ignorance or sometimes when a pill runs astray, etc. I recommend you utilize tools available to you such as a spatula, counting tray, counting machines, flat tweezers to pick cotton out of bottles and open seals, etc. I understand that sounds harsh, but people are...

    Absolutely is a good idea to rule other things out.

    I agree with your last statement. If the disease is there, it is there. There is also no telling what is exactly in one's blood lines back many generations.

    Your symptoms are pretty in line with a Celiac reaction. Our reactions do vary in severity from person to person. There are some people who haven't been formally diagnosed with Celiac disease, but like you, have been gluten-free for a long time and after having bad reactions when exposed, have no desire to get formally tested. That is totally okay if you...

    Sadly one of the cruddy parts after us Celiacs get better after going gluten-free is learning what happens with accidents occur. Everyone's reaction differs, and eventually you will get an understanding of your body after a glutening. Just try to take care of yourself well to get through it, and I do hope it improves soon. And now I want to visit omaha...
