ARCHIVED Ricotta Cheese
purplemom posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I keep forgetting if ricotta cheese is safe or not. The only brands I can find in our Stop & Shop is Dragone and Stop & Shop brand. Could someone refresh my memory please?!!! Thanks Cali -
ARCHIVED Glutened Soap?
purplemom replied to adam2008's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Adam- Just thought I'd add that we use Ivory soap, Burts Bees Grapefruit & Sugar Beet Shampoo & Conditioner, I think Suave products are safe (double check that to be sure) and I read here once that Softsoap body washes are safe, (confirm that one too!) We use Softsoap hand soap in our bathroom. Good Luck! Cali -
ARCHIVED Glutened Soap?
purplemom replied to adam2008's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It depends on how sensitive you are. In our house we eliminated any soaps, shampoos etc. that could have gluten in them. My son's skin breaks out in a rash when he comes in contact with gluten. I just feel safer knowing the bath is gluten free too! Good Luck! Cali -

Hi- Are all brands of cornstarch safe? Any I should look out for (stay away from)? I'm thinking about the gravy on Thanksgiving!! Thanks Cali -
ARCHIVED Where's The Gluten Here?
purplemom replied to lpellegr's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Just a thought...my family has all had a stomach bug that lasts for just one day, same symptoms as you just described. Maybe it's not gluten but just that time of year. Hope you are feeling better. Cali -
ARCHIVED Any Salon Brand Hair Products Gluten Free?
purplemom replied to breann6's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Paul Mitchell does have some products that do not contain wheat. It seems they clearly list when wheat is present on their labels. I use Paul Mitchell The Wash (excellent shampoo which doubles as a body wash) and Instant Moisture Daily Treatment for conditioner. I even spoke to a sales rep who works in my salon who assured me they were safe. Good Luck... -
ARCHIVED Glutenous Rice
purplemom replied to up-late's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
You should try San-J Wheat Free Tamari instead of gluten free soy sauce. We love it. I think it tastes much better than soy sauce. -
ARCHIVED Instant Hot Chocolate
purplemom replied to SofiEmiMom's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I just bought Nestle carb select and the original with mini marshmallows for the kids. They both say 100% Gluten Free right on the side of the box! Enjoy Cali -
ARCHIVED What Is Grain Alcohol Usually?
purplemom replied to floridanative's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am so confused!! I thought I read a while back that all vodka was safe. My husband traded his Harpoon IPA for Vodka and Cranberry. We recently bought Chopin potato vodka, a little pricey, but he likes it. I thought it might be gentler on his gut. Should I be steering him away from certain vodkas? -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Sausage
purplemom replied to olalisa's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Linz- I think you might be talking about Al Fresco all natural chicken sausages. My son loves the apple and maple syrup kind. Yum! -

ARCHIVED New Grist Beer & Hershey Syrup
purplemom replied to faegan's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We are trying to find New Grist in Massachusetts. Anyone know of anywhere that sells it? My husband loves this beer!! -
What if the Rice Milk says gluten free right on it? I live in Mass. and buy Stop & Shop Nature's Promise rice milk. I have never challenged it because it says gluten free on the back. I know Rice Dream uses barley.

I totally agree Mart. -
ARCHIVED Natural Tostitos Chips Warning
purplemom replied to MSU's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
In my opinion you are always taking a chance with cross contamination with big companies like Frito Lay. Some people eat Tostitos without any problems. I guess it depends on whether you react to trace amounts of gluten or not or if you got a bad batch. -
Liquid Smoke

What is liquid smoke? -
ARCHIVED Sunscreen
purplemom replied to kevsmom's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We use California Baby but it can be pricey (almost 19 dollars a tube). I just bought Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen. Has anyone heard anything about this stuff or used it before? My son has very sensitive skin. -
ARCHIVED Envirokidz Cereal
purplemom replied to Lister's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
We eat this cereal with no problems. It's actually the only cereal we trust right now! We've been on the Enviro Amazon Flakes kick right now, but they also love the Koala Crisp! -
ARCHIVED Is 'floam' Gluten-free
purplemom replied to Ashley's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I bought my daughter floam. I'm not sure if it is Gluten free, so I just make sure she doesn't touch her face or put her hands in her mouth while she plays with it. We keep her in one are and clean the table top when she is done & she washes her hands really well. I didn't have the heart to tell her she couldn't have it. She loves anything arts &... -
ARCHIVED Bug Spray- Insect Repellent
purplemom posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It is that time of year again. Does anyone have any suggestions on Bug Spray. Are they all Gluten Free. My daughter reacts terribly to mosquito bites. Last summer, before going Gluten Free, we used the Cutter All family bug wipes. Deet scares me, but I need those darn mosquitos to stay away from my kids!! Thanks Cali -
ARCHIVED Ored La Frys
purplemom replied to Lister's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Alexia fries are sooo good. They say Gluten Free in small print on back of bag. Not sure where you are from Lister, but they sell them at my local grocery store (STOP & SHOP or SHAW'S) here in Massachusetts. Look in the same section as the OreIda fries. My husband loves them and they come with all different seasoning choices. Good Luck. Cali ... -
Thanks for all of your thoughts. Sometimes it gets very tiring thinking of where hidden gluten could be lurking! But with the results we have seen in my husband and kids being gluten-free, it is well worth it. It's always nice to bounce my questions off of people who care! Cali
