    I eat there a lot! i love their cobb salad! i just get mine with lemon and oil on the side anyways! they are very aware of celiac disease there, once when i went with a friend we both ordered a cobb salad from my gluten free menu, even though she is not a celiac she thought it would be nice if she ate what i ate to make me feel comfortable...shes so sweet! well anyways she said ill have mine with the balsamic vingarette, and then the manager came out a little while later and said "sorry but that has gluten in it, is there something else you would like"...my friend said its ok, that she can have that cause she doesnt have celiac disease... thanks for being on your toes not your average joes...hehe
  3. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20198229,00.html Just six months after the birth of her second child, The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck is ready to show off her bikini body. "Body image has nothing to do with scale numbers, it's how you feel inside," Hasselbeck, who turns 31 this month, told Fitness magazine. "This is the first time I've felt free from that, because I am working out in a way where I feel so strong that there's no room for those doubts." She adds: "I finally told myself ... 'I've got some curves, I've got a bubble butt, but I don't mind, because it's what powers me forward when I run.' " To prepare for her cover of the magazine's June issue, Hasselbeck did run

  4. Yoplait Whips

    YOPLAIT WILL LIST ANY GLUTEN SOURCE INCLUDING BARLEY.... Thank you for contacting Yoplait regarding gluten in Yoplait yogurt. It is our goal to help our consumers determine whether or not they can include our products in their diet. To accurately accomplish this, we believe it is best to refer to the specific ingredients listed on each product package. However, we do understand that ingredients can be confusing, so we want to assure you if the ingredient label does not list wheat, barley, rye, oats or gluten containing ingredients sourced from these grains, then the product would be gluten-free. Sources of gluten are listed on the label even if the source of gluten is part of another ingredient (such as flavoring or spice). Because ingredients may vary from one package to another due to product reformulation, you should use the product's ingredient label to provide you with current and accurate information

  7. Here is the response that I got. Thank you for your patience. I was able to speak to our chemist and I was informed the vitamin e we use in our products is of synthetic origin. I hope this information is helpful. If I can be of any further assistance please let me know. Have a great day! marisa solis customer care specialist philosophy, inc. 3809 east watkins street phoenix, az 85034 800-love-151 www.philosophy.com Its a good thing, but I wonder why their answers are not the same? Maybe different chemists? Either I can still use some of their stuff!
  8. since we are on the subject, take a look at this interesting link, not directly linked to gluten (maybe) it doesnt mention it, but I found it interesting still. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?c...st_uids=7949472
  9. There are other discussions on the board about this, and here is part of it...Look it up through the search. Also all the "evidence" we have at this point is overhelming -- grain-fed animals are gluten-free. Some people may have other issues with it, such antibodies and so on, but gluten simply does not appear to be an issue. When an animal consumes gluten, its digestive enzymes break it down into short sequences of amino acids before it can be absorbed into the animal's bloodstream. (Which is also what happens in humans that are not intolerant to gluten or who do not have Celiac disease.) From there, the animal uses those amino acid to build the proteins specified by their genetic code. Many of these proteins are similar to those of humans, such as muscle proteins, ect. Beef may have a more dense protein concentration or have a higher fat content, or some other factor that makes it more difficult to digest.
  10. just to comment ....If cows are fed gluten it is not transfered into their meat, its perfectly safe to eat. Im not really sure about the corn being CC, thats more an issue with Oats. People are usually sentivtive to soy not because its similar to gluten but because its more likely people are intolerant to them, especially if your body is in the process of healing.
  11. This is what I got off the When Hope is Not Enough Jar...whats the bad ingredient? Ingredients Water (Aqua), Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Lauryl Lactate, Pentaerythrityl Tetracaprylate/Tetracaprate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Cetyl Alcohol, Triethanolamine, Dimethicone, Ppg-2 Myristyl Ether Propionate, Glycerin, Cyclomethicone, Emulsifying Wax NF, DEA-Cetyl Phosphate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Peg-150 Distearate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Panthenol, Allantoin, Tocophersolan, Beta-Glucan, Arginine, Dioscorea Mexicana Root Extract, Sodium Carboxymethyl Beta-Glucan, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Carbomer, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Sorbitan Oleate, Fragrance (Parfum), Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Disodium EDTA. If its the Tocopheryl (vitamin E) then it can come from more then just wheat....its found in Wheat germ oil, nuts and seeds, whole grains, egg yolks, and leafy green vegetables. I will email them to ask them...i would hope that they would consider it gluten if it was from wheat
  12. I knew for last summer coopertone was safe, but as always I check every year because companies change their ingredients, your best bet is to email or call them!
  13. I use crest now, but my dentist said that the sensodyne is really just made for sensitivity, where crest has scope and whitening stuff in it.
  14. Hmm thats interesting I thought that cellulose is generally considered being from plant material, and even if its from wheat for some odd reason, due to labeling laws it has to be listed as wheat. Can I ask where you heard that when villi grow back there is a chance of mutating and causing cancer?? Ive never heard of that before...
  15. My dentist recommended Sensodyne because I have very sensitive teeth, and I knew a while back that someone had posted that sensodyne was not gluten-free, however there is one they have now that is! See email below! Thank you for contacting us regarding Sensodyne
