    Gee, maybe they should be worried that WE need a Dr.'s note to SPEND OUR MONEY on them! "I'm sorry, I cannot buy your products (all of them) unless I have a doctor's note."

    I agree...this isn't a prescription so why should I get my doctor to write to them....that is an unreasonable request by P&G. They know that doctor's don't have time for that so that gets them off the information hook. Perhaps we write to them saying, I'm not a Dr. but I play one on TV or something like that. Or sign the letter "Debmidge...

    This is kind of a sad story but when my husband first came down with IBS which was really celiac disease (Jan 1977) he lost 30 lbs in 3 months and needed new pants desperately. But since he was out of work he couldn't afford new, so he put safety pins at waist and wore his shirts outside the pants (he was also hoping he'd gain weight back as Dr. said...

    "A rose by any other name is still a rose." In the celiac beginning I "searched" the "sprue" word and it came up as a disease in cats... Since celiac disease can run the gamut of symptoms there's no one word that can describe it. Malabsorption syndrome sounds good, but what about those who only have neurological symptoms? celiac disease needs...

    Thanks for researching this. Although I don't have celiac disease I use gluten-free shampoos and bodywashes to keep gluten residue away as my husband gets Derm. Herp. And of course I don't want him using the bodywash not knowing it's off limits. My house is about 99% gluten-free.

    Sounds great. don't forget that the contestant has to be accused of being a picky eater, and it's all in his/her head and the popular "you need a psychiaratrist. But I can see this as a reality show where a non celiac lives with celiac roommates and has to adopt their eating rules. How long will the non celiac last? Tune in tomorrow.

    And yes, they have a big "Gluten Free" label on their bottle! We've written to them (Novartis Consumer Division) to express our displeasure and we told them that many celiacs who use this product will probably change to another gluten-free fiber manufacturer now that wheat, as small it it is, is in this product. We can't figure out why they had...

    don't forget Nini's newbie info...I just don't know where on board to get this, so if someone could post those instructions as cajun will probably need more info in the meanwhile. Somehow you're supposed to click on Nini's signature but it didn't work for me the last time I tried it.

    I do not use Chapstick as I found that it made the dryness worse. I use something called Natural Ice Original - hard to find and they told me over phone that it's gluten-free. I buy it at drugstore.com as most CVS, Walgreens, Rite-Aid's don't carry it any more. I think Chapstick wants a monopoly on the stick lip balm business

    Yes, quite feels that way...do you have a work situation or some other logisitical situation wherein you are unable to acquire gluten-free foods during work? Do you travel a lot for your job? Do you have other food sensitivities which make being gluten-free harder? let us know your details and perhaps there's someone on the board who has a solution...

    We were never fans of non gluten-free frozen waffles - felt that they too were cardboardy. The Van's waffles are good, never got any that were freezer burned and they are priced better at the Whole Foods than at my regular A&P Supermarket. Our Trader Joe's is very, very small and the one time I went there I do not recall them having a large...

    (Product was formerly known as Amaratto) Thank you for your inquiry to Disaronno.com. I have checked with the manufacturer in Italy and Disaronno is completely Gluten free. If you still have questions, we suggest you contact your doctor as to whether or not you should consume such beverage products before consumption. Best Regards, Consumer...

    Has anyone gotten their foot padding back? That's what makes the feet hurt and get corns and calluses ....

    Mott's Granny Smith style had "natural flavors" in it and that concerned me, so hence the email to Mott and the response they gave to me. I always get cautious about the natural flavors. What if this is the one thing that they make that does have the gluten.... Glad to be of help to those who like applesauce products.

    ahhhh,yes I know but for him the boxer style doesn't give enough support for his "manlies."

    Due to malabsorption my hubby's body fed off of muscles and fat and he has little or no padding on body but has a waistline out of proportion with hips (no hip or butt). The hardest item to buy for him is underwear. In order to get the waistband not to dig in, he has to go to the size large, but then the butt and legs are too big. This has been an ongoing...

    Yes, my husband had severe depression which lifted when he went gluten-free. Gastro even mentioned that this was where most of the depression was coming from. Gluten will affect brain chemistry.

    Sometimes I wonder if it's just easier to wear a "haz-mat" suit around the crumbs! I am constantly cleaning up after myself (but I don't have too much gluten stuff in house as I used to). Since I started eating gluten-free cereal at breakfast I don't worry about cereal flying out of the box when I pour it.

    Often gluten-free cookies have soy in them and my hubby is sensitive to soy....so they are out.

    No,no take it....it's a gift this year

    They have a good product, but just watch out for cross contamination from the deli slicer.

    Glad you jumped on. Don't worry about being a slow typist....hunt and peck will give you the same results.

    I have purchased in 2004 and 2005 and did not get it after that. Most of the products in the book are products not found in my part of country (NJ) and stores like WalMart in my area do not have a full grocery dept. so many of those products are not in my area. Most of the stores the book states as sources for gluten-free food aren't in my area either...

    Thank you for contacting us about the presence of gluten in our Mott's products. Consumer inquiries such as this are appreciated because they provide valuable feedback about our brands. Gluten is a mixture of complex proteins found in the grain of wheat, barley, oats, rye, rice, corn, and other grains. All of our Mott's sauce and juice products are gluten...
