    I like Better Batter flour and gluten free Bisquik. The Bisquik makes really good pancakes, and the pizza recipe on the box is also pretty good. If you see this on Nov. 26, 2012, Gluten Freely is having free shipping for that day only. This might be a good chance for you to get an assortment of things. Unlike Amazon, they sell single items. So you...

    I hope it's ok to post this here. Shipping is free this Cyber Monday only - November 26, 2012. Normally you have to spend $75 to get free shipping. Link to sale - Open Original Shared Link Main page - Open Original Shared Link They also have quite a few things on sale. Better Batter 2.5 pounds for $8.40 looks good to me. Chocolate Chex isn...

    I'm sorry to say that Blue Bell milk chocolate has gluten in it. We have it in our freezer and I just double checked. The ingredient list says "flour (wheat)." This is my dad's favorite ice cream, and we were all baffled when we read the ingredients. Luckily he can still eat it, but I can't. I don't know why they think they need to throw a spoon full...

    Thanks for the heads up! I would love to have cinnamon bread again.

    You could be reacting to the xylitol. It's an artifical sweetener, and it often upsets people's stomachs.

    Does Funfetti icing have sprinkles? Those are a potential problem, some sprinkles contain gluten.

    There's no Starbucks near me, but I thought I'd pass this along. I looked up all 3 bars mentioned, and Kind lists them as gluten free. "On February 5th. Starbucks will sample KIND bars at all of their 7,000 stores across the country! Drop in to try one of the two delicious flavors selling at your local Starbucks: Fruit & Nut Delight and Cranberry...

    They're a jelled fruit candy, dusted with powdered sugar. They're really delicious, and different from other kinds of candy. I'm impressed with their response, they seem to really know their stuff.

    This is what I generally see. ...ingredient, ingredient, malt (barley), ingredient... ...ingredient, ingredient, natural flavoring (derived from milk and wheat), ingredient... ...ingredient, ingredient, food starch (corn), ingredient... So, for those companies, if you don't see wheat, rye, barley, or oats in the ingredients, you should be fine...

    The problem is, they are changing so many of their products say "may contain wheat." So corn chips are labeled as made with "Corn, Oil, and Salt...May contain wheat." Does this mean, made in a factory that also uses wheat? Does this mean, they sprinkle wheat on the conveyor belt to prevent sticking? There's no way of knowing.

    I just want to say what a wonderful friend you are, taking the gluten free-issue seriously, and taking time to research things.

    I take Natural Calm, which is powdered magnesium citrate. It's labeled gluten-free. Because it's a powder, you can start with a small amount and work your way up. It would still give me diarrhea sometimes (as magnesium will). I recently started taking VSL#3 probiotics, and that made a huge difference. I can't help thinking the probiotics are helping...

    You can have an allergy to anything. I have a horrible reaction to sorghum flour, far worse than my gluten reaction. Lots of gluten-free products are made with it, so I have to check everything carefully. I eat the Dinty Moore stew all the time without problems. (It's thickened with corn starch.) Have you ever eaten it before? Did your problems...

    You might consider making your own with Chebe mix. The All Purpose mix doesn't have any of the things you're allergic to. It's a simple mix to make, it's not a yeast bread so it doesn't require rising. Their webpage has recipes for making sandwich and hotdog buns. One big warning - not everyone likes Chebe. It's chewy, not soft and fluffy. I love...

    TrilliumHunter gave us the ingredients for the Yellow cake mix in another thread: Yellow cake mix makes 1 layer You need: 2/3 cups water, 1 stick butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and 3 eggs Contains: rice flour, sugar, potato starch, leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosate, monocalcium phosphate), xanthan gum, salt MAY CONTAIN SOY (on the...

    I second the idea of cross contamination. I used to get sick every time I ate tuna salad. I finally realized, it was crumbs in the Miracle Whip! Not even crumbs, really. Just tiny bread particles from people dipping their knives in. I hope you feel better soon! Being glutened while away from home is the worst.

    It's possible you're reacting to some other food, and the timing is just a coincidence. You may also be reacting to some other ingredient in the drink. Looking at that list I see artificial color, citric acid and lemon, and two artificial sweeteners (SUCRALOSE and ACESULFAME POTASSIUM). Any of these could be causing problems. Your best bet is to stop...

    A couple of us already posted this, but you have more information. I didn't realize they were actually changing the ingredients. On their web page it just says the icing will be "labeled gluten free" this fall. I think it's exciting that they're actually reformulating to be gluten free!

    I didn't see this posted anywhere. As I think everyone knows, Betty Crocker is putting out some gluten-free baking mixes this June. I was reading Open Original Shared Link and found this: Q: Is Betty Crocker

    I've used SinuCleanse without any problem. It's just baking soda and salt. It's easy to make your own. Buy some non-iodized salt at the store. (The iodine can be irritating.) Experiment until you find the amount you like best. I use the little spoon included, 1 level spoon of salt, 1 tiny pinch baking soda. This is milder than their solution, and...

    Those look great. I'll have to keep my eyes open for them. It was a big shock to me when I found out licorice and red twists are made of flour. They don't taste or feel like something made of flour!

    inquirer - The last issue of Energy Times said taking magnesium and pantothenic acid (vitamin B-5) for at least five weeks has helped people stop clenching their teeth. You're already taking magnesium, so it might be worth adding the B-5. I've been thinking of trying it myself.

    If your Kroger has any "health food" items, see if they carry DeBoles Rice Pasta and Cheese. The Kroger where I live has it. It's gluten free, and I really enjoy it.

    minibabe - There's a chance you're allergic to the food dye. A cereal like Trix has a lot of food dye in it, more than you get with most food. So that could be causing a problem.

    Thanks, that's what I thought. I started to worry because I use it as a scrub to wash my face. I suddenly worried I was scrubbing my face with gluten!
