  1. It means that wheat must be explicitly listed as a common allergen when these new labels are printed (keep in mind that companies can still use up old labels and products manufactured before Jan 1, 2006 will certainly not have the warnings).

    Rye, barley, and oats are not on the list of eight, so we must continue to look for them as we do now--no changes to those ingredients. It will help us, though, because we will be able to find hidden gluten easier (eliminating gluten-containing products easier) since it's more likely that you have wheat in the natural flavors than rye or oats.

  2. Thanks! I found where I had read that. It was The Gluten-Free Bible. The Author was talking about people like herself that have lowered immunity b/c she has TWO autoimmune diseases, Celiac, and sjogrens, so she wears one to be careful. Guess part of that stuck with me, and part of it didn't. Thanks for your help!!!

    Oh wow... of course--The Gluten-Free Bible. I am NOT a big fan of Jax Lowell's books for the numerous inaccuracies. And then she emphasizes masks on planes, but in her first book talked about just eating the insides of a sandwich made on regular bread. Read my rantings here, if you wish-- just in case you saw a few of the inaccurate product listings and wondered about them (i.e. lipitor, cheetos)

  3. That makes sense. In most celiacs, the villi (extremely small, finger-like protrusions from the intestinal wall that expand the surface area and absorb nutrients) are blunted to some degree... and the part of each villus that deals with lactose is the tip--it is the part that is damaged first and repaired LAST (since it grows back from bottom up). Lactose intolerance is common during the healing process and may continue later. A dairy-free or dairy-limited (or just lactose-free if you find casein doesn't bother you) is ideal.

  4. I bought a Wheat free soy sauce for my son... would that be gluten-free too? It has water, organic soybeans, salt and organic alcohol. Thanks for any help.

    Oh, just editing to clarify (even though it should be clear from the quote) that I was responding to mcsteffi, and not to lpellegr about La Choy.

    Not necessarily. There could still be rye or barley. Water would be fine, so would the soybeans and salt. The alcohol you're not sure of... you don't know what type. You should call.

  5. I'm pretty sure you can acquire allergies/intolerances once you've been diagnosed. This would be due to a decreased variety of food--if you eat the same thing over and over again, you're more likely to develop allergies to those foods. The other thing is, you might realize them once celiac symptoms are away. I just began to realize a few months ago that too much dairy bothered me... I don't really have to restrict, but just avoid eating huge quantities of it
