    additionally, most *white vinegar* isn't made from wheat anyway, but corn. not that some people don't have issues with vinegar itself, of course.

    I also use the deodorant crystal. Not an antipersperant (but sweat is a good thing, honestly), but forms a barrier that prevents the bacteria which cause BO from growing in any quantity for about 24 hours. Works great for me. (You do have to wet the stick or skin before applying it.)

    the germ and bran of the grain both contain protein, which includes gliadin. definitely not gluten free.

    It may not be homemade, but they are good!

    I also buy individual herbs. (I usually purchase Spice Hunter or Simply Organic as well, though I'll get McCormick if I can't get those or dry my own.) I do have premixed blends for chili powder (as that's a blend), curry seasoning (as that's a blend), and garlic salt (for table use).

    Neither - barley can be hidden in 'natural flavors', doesn't have to go on the 'may contain' line (which I think is optional anyway), and doesn't have to be listed at all. The allergen labeling law was for the eight major food allergens, and barley is not one of them. They are wheat, dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, shellfish, eggs, and soy.

    yep, stick to pure maple syrup and you're good. I prefer to use fruit preserves on my pancakes personally, or just plain fresh chopped fruit! :-)

    FF, that's awful, and that kind of negligence in a medical practice *is* worth legal action over. well, I'm lazy, so I wouldn't go so far as to take legal action, but I would go back to the office with a copy of the report and provide the doctor and staff with written letter, along with your verbal communication, that you are aware of their negligence. ...

    Some people who have a WHEAT ALLERGY can have spelt - most shouldn't though. But that is DIFFERENT from people who have CELIAC. A celiac can NOT have spelt. Period.

    Some tamari's are made without wheat. San-J's is one of them.

    I have slightly lower arches, nothing you'd call flat, but I do pronate (I role inwards), and have bunions (probably causally related). I don't know that it's related to celiac, however, as flat-footedness, particularly milder forms isn't uncommon.

    Ginger (with honey is my preference) can help. So can Coke - sometimes you can find Coke syrup on its own for that purpose at a pharmacy.

    DH, from what I understand, can take months to clear. You may want to eliminate as much iodine from his diet at the moment as well, as that can make the DH worse (and last longer). The dry skin is almost certainly exacerbating things, and I presume you've tried all the various things like moisturizing lotions or even directly using almond oil and increasing...

    I've never heard of citric acid being a problem due to gluten. It can sometimes be a problem for those who are CORN sensitive, because it can often be derived from corn.
  16. tarnalberry
    Yes, I have called the company and they confirmed they were gluten-free.

    It's going into your mouth. Chances are, some of it will be dissolved in the saliva and make it to the digestive tract. If you can taste the mint (or other flavor) in the toothpaste after you've brushed, that's a decent sign. The "rule" is generally anything that goes in the mouth (including licking envelopes) is _definitely_ out.

    Not really an option, coin-op. It definitely doesn't clean as well, across the whole surface of your teeth. (My diet is more varied than yours, so that may be one reason it works well for you.) Besides that, my molars naturally have very deep ridges - an area that flossing cannot get to. If I didn't brush, I would quickly have cavities in those areas...

    Colgate makes a whitener/sensitivity toothpaste, but as whiteners can INCREASE sensitivity, I had to look hard for one that did NOT contain whiteners. Crest makes one.

    So I went to the dentist on Monday to check into my teeth being a bit sensitive. (I've always had pretty good teeth, despite not flossing like I should. I've got a whopping two small fillings.) Nothing particularly was wrong, just generally sensitive teeth, so the dentist suggested getting some sensitive-tooth toothpaste and a fluoride rinse. No problem...

    If you watch your total calorie count, and get exercise, a diet for hypoglycemia should still allow you to lose weight....

    If you're just talking about dizziness... that's the first symptom I have if I've had something with gluten. A dizzy, disorientation in the head that makes things feel like they're moving (usually rotationally) when they're not. For me, it only lasts 15-30 minutes, and happens 15-30 minutes after I first ingest the offending substance, but it sure ain't...

    I did, before going gluten-free. (It took me a while to realize it was gone, since it's not painful, or for me, very loud.) (Note, mine was specifically noise from the intestines, not stomach. My stomach seems to be very shy... ;-) )
