    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.

    I'm glad you liked it. :-) I'm pretty sure it would freeze well, so you can make a big batch, and freeze it in ice cube trays or other containers. (Ooo... I can't wait 'til I have a house and can buy a full size freezer like my in-laws have!!! :-) )

    No, not to many slip ups, and if I do, it's when I know I'm taking a risk (even if I try to minimize it). I don't find the gluten-free diet all that hard, as I enjoy making simple things, and cooking from scratch. The first couple months were harder, but it just meant that I was more restrictive about what I ate. Are there particular areas where you're...

    I do hot cereals a lot at the moment (easy to take to work premixed with liquid) - quinoa flakes, Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal, rice bran, cream of rice, and cream of buckwheat. Flavored with a bit of honey, cinnamon, and vanilla, it's all good. :-) For cold cereals, I've done the Corn or Rice Crunch-Ems (Health Valley, I think), I have Gorilla...

    You can have contact dermatitis from gluten that is not related to being celiac as well.

    All vanilla extract (well, pure vanilla extract) should be gluten-free. Yes, it often uses grain alcohol (though not always wheat), but it's distilled alcohol, and the protein molecules cannot pass through the distillation process. Authentic Foods makes a powdered vanilla that I find handy for many things that is labeled gluten-free and isn't as expensive...

    1. not sure... I've been gluten-free for a year. probably had gluten-intolerance for at least 2 years before that, but maybe longer. 2. dx'ed at 24. 3. a good loaf of crusty italian bread dipped in olive oil and balsamico 4. not really any more than when I wasn't gluten-free, but I cook from scratch, and don't do a lot of baking (by choice) ...

    Trader Joe's also carries a gluten-free red pepper and tomatoe soup.

    spice hunter is definitely gluten-free (I love their spices - their chili powder is the best chili powder I've had so far - and called). I've yet to see a tomato sauce that had a questionable ingredient, so I've used Hunts and Contadina. You might also try using crushed tomatoes if you want a chunkier sauce. The nice part is that it can simmer on the stove...

    it could also be that you both have far more sensitive noses - there are some people who can smell their own natural body odors long before anyone else can ever catch a whif. because of the risk of possible issues, however, it's well worth talking to your doctor about this. they may be able to help with the excessive oil production as well.

    Cool! I've got some "Pennsylvania Dutch" in me as well. :-) (Not sure how far back, though.)

    It's funny... my husband has teased me about knowing where the bathrooms are in all local retailers (the wonders of a small bladder!), and now I feel like I'm getting to know where the specialty grocery stores are in a number of cities. :-) Do you like sardines? I keep contemplating trying them, but "their reputation preceeds them".... The ingredients...

    I'm heading out to St. Louis for two days for business starting Monday, and we're staying at my company's training center there. They've got a fab kitchen that apparently makes amazing food, and they're supposed to be great about adapting to all sort of dietary needs, but my request for gluten-free foods the last time I was there didn't make it in time,...

    smoothies/milkshakes are definitely a way to go. they work great for me for breakfast, since I get up at the last possible minute, can make a smoothie in 5 minutes, pour it in my nalgene bottle, and take it to work with me and drink it over the subsequent hour. being dairy intolerant, I use soy milk and frozen fruit. for added calories, or to balance out...

    I make my own with two cans of tomato sauce, a cup of broth if you've got it, and spices, simmered down until it's the thickness you want (30-60 minutes for one batch). The spices are both vital, and can vary. I like to use a fair amount of chili powder (for mild, I'd use at least a tablespoon), a pinch of cayanne, 1 tsp of paprika, 1/2 tsp sage, 1/2 tsp...

    lol, since it's based on hits, not individual people, I think I'm responsible for somewhere around 5% of that number. it is an interesting topic, however, and there does need to be more research done on the subject.

    Eggbeaters (and all their flavors) are gluten-free - I called a couple months ago after my MIL cooked some in one of my skillets. I personally prefer Open Original Shared Link egg white product, as it's _just_ egg whites. No added anything. For some purposes, like meringues and other things that need egg whites beat until frothy, the additives in Egg...

    If you select "view new posts" in the control menu, you'll see it pop up as well. (I find that the most useful way to navigate the posts myself, but we're all different.)

    Welcome. I'm glad you've found the problem, though sad about all you had to go through to get the answer. There are some lists out there with mainstream processed products that are supposed to be gluten-free (search around the archives for a while and you'll find them, I don't have a list handy), but many of these are a potential source for cross contamination...
  20. tarnalberry
    Yep, I make mine, though have used Annie's honey mustard and tuscan dressing while on travel. Making it will allow you to get the flavor you want, and if you've got a mini fridge in your room, you can store it there. (But the other suggestions about Kraft and the other brands are good too... :-) )

    there's a third kind of geletin, made from fish bones (so as to be kosher), too. but none of them contain gluten. (ever made stock from beef bones or chicken bones, and had it gel in the fridge? that is gelatin - it is a substance that dissolves out of the bone at high temperature.
  22. tarnalberry
    I suppose you could ask them about the salad, making sure to take care that they don't let croutons near it. I don't know about the sauces, and your best bet with a place that isn't generally known to provide options for celiacs is to call the local one, so they'll be familiar with the issue before you go in.

    hancoc, one thing to consider is that, legally, the school MUST provide you with safe food, assuming you are in the US, of course. don't hesitate to go in and talk to the director of the food services until you have this resolved. under the americans with disabilities act, they have a responsibility to provide you with safe nutrition.

    barbara, I'm not sure why your pharmacist would tell you that gelatin has gluten. (I certainly hope he didn't tell you glucosamine had gluten!) Perhaps he's concerned that manufacturers are using wheat to prevent the capsules from sticking, but that actually isn't that common. Do call the company before taking his word for it. I cannot imagine why gelatin...

    The only suggestion I can give, besides the obvious one of excellent personal hygeine, which I'm sure you're already doing, is to talk to your doctor. You don't describe the smell in much detail, but sometimes, that can be linked to other conditions. Has this been a consistent change? (As in, for the past 2.5 months the smell has been steadily the same...
