    I use the Clan Thompson list on my palm. I find that they have good information and they update about quarterly with a subscription. I haven't used gluten guard, but I'm happy with my Clan Thompson Smartlist

    Distillation is how vinegar and hard alcohol are made. There is a mash made from grains, usually, and the mash is heated and the vapor goes through a column and condenses down into the distillate, which is the vinegar or alcohol. Distillation is a bit contraversial, but the gluten protein is generally thought of as being too big to make it into the distillate...

    I'm not a scientist, but I am married to one. DH is a chemical engineer (not run-plant, he's in research) and I go to him for cc questions. He's the one that told me that gluten can certainly get into non-stick surfaces (like teflon) but that it will come out with "enough" washings. Same thing with tupperware The funny thing is that when it comes to...

    Don't buy the cuisinart. It burns gluten-free breads even on the light setting and you have to help the machine mix the batter, so it defeats the purpose. I'm selling mine on craigs list as soon as I get a replacement paddle, a loaf of Pamela's bread ate it and DH threw it away

    I know you want store bought brands, but, if you're ever in a pinch and need BBQ sauce, you can just make it. Ketchup Molasses or brown sugar tabasco a little vinegar garlic salt or powder onion powder Mix ingredients over low heat until flavors combine. I didn't list proportions because it varies from person to person, obviously the ketchup will...

    You know you're a celiac when: - You jump for joy when you see another human in the gluten-free section of the grocery store - You jump for joy when there IS a gluten-free section in the grocery store - You start to think that you must have three heads, since everyone looks at you like you do - You've had a fast food worker shout from the rooftops:...

    Sheesh, I'm away for four days and I have, like, 200 pages to go through on this thead. Holy cow! Happy belated birthday, Donna! I agree on the shoes, if they're cute and they're calling your name, who cares if you don't have anything to match them Grocery unions are the worst! When I worked at a grocery store they took...

    If he told you to eat yogurt earlier on, I would stick with that. Try yogurt first. The dr. may have suggested to the nurse that you eat frozen yogurt if you don't like normal yogurt, and that got relayed as eat ice cream.

    To try dairy again, eat something cultured, like yogurt or cheese. The "bugs" in these eat the lactose, so most cheeses and yogurt don't have lactose.

    Was the dipping sauce a bbq sauce of some kind? A lot of mom-and-pop bbq places especially use malt vinegar in their sauces, which has gluten. Distilled vinegar is fine, malt vinegar is not. Also, do they know that there is wheat in things like white bread?

    I've read that in a lot of cake recipes, you can just leave out the gum.

    I'm sorry that you and your friend are "breaking up", that's always hard. When I read her response, all I could think was - What a selfish B!!! Friends are supposed to care, and to be there with you. If thinking about gluten-free food is too hard for her, than she isn't a friend worth having, IMO. What if it were diabetes or something? Would she...

    For the "same facility" question, usually for me it depends on the company. Kraft, unilever, general mills, hormel, mccormick...I trust those. If I see a facility statement I assume they've triple washed and taken precaution and that policy has served me well. I don't trust, however, products that say gluten-free and have a facility statement, those have...

    Lea & Perrins (in the US) is gluten-free. It has gluten in Canada.

    It's where the villi are unresponsive to the gluten-free diet, and the villi remain atrophied. That means you basically don't get better and you continue to not get enough nutrition, etc.

    I'm sorry your daughter got sick This was discussed at length a while back...try searching old threads and you'll see all of the posts on the subject.

    You can take a fiber supplement like Konsyl or Metamucil (both are gluten-free, my gastro reccommended Konsyl). It's psyllium and it is just pure dietary fiber, no laxatives.

    Also, DH is the skin manifestation of celiac disease, and many people that biopsy positively on their skin also have dignigificant intestinal damage. Either way, you have the IgA antibodies going. If you did the full enterolab gluten intolerance panel and stuff came back positive, sorry, you are damaging your intestines, even if it didn't show up on endoscopy...

    I posted a potential recipe on your thread.

    She doesn't as far as I know. I think she drinks to deal with her epilepsy

    My mom is intolerant to artificial sweeteners, and that happened after living on Diet Cokes forever, too. No matter the product and no matter how safe it is, someone won't be able to tolerate it.

    Well that's a chicken and egg question, isn't it? My nose is always nutty when I'm not gluten-free or have been glutened.
  24. penguin
    Yikes! I didn't know that! Good thing I've never taken it, and now I never will! THANK YOU Plantime and SKBird!!!

    The fiber was my initial thought, but it's been about a week since I've taken any. I now have this lovely habit it seems of going 2 hours after eating so the fiber hasn't really been needed. I have eaten things both fatty and greasy. My nose is runny, but not stopped up. I haven't been sniffing much, just blowing my nose. I've had a lot of...
