    It's more effective if you need a quick answer, but I find that it's sometimes easiest to pull up a few websites and shoot out a standard e-mail to everyone -- depends on if I'm just asking generally or wanting a direct, quick answer

    Glad to hear that she's doing better....I had actually been thinking about her the past few days, wondering how it was going, so thanks for updating us. When my mom had breast cancer, she had one of her breasts removed -- I think they said that they didn't have to take it off, but she wanted to to make sure there was nothing left and it couldn't spread....

    Yeah......all the companies say that they're going to reply in 2-3 business days -- when I went on that e-mail spree I got some replies in that time, but I got one just a few days ago (that's like..........2 weeks later or something)......they take longer than they say they do.

    I actually haven't checked shampoo, which I should've........there are a few different brands in my house for different people -- I don't really care what brand I use, but does anyone know about Suave or Johnson & Johnson?
  5. celiac3270
    It probably doesn't apply to the US, as well--otherwise they'd have given me that list when I e-mailed them about a list. Of course, with Kraft's terrific food labelings, that doesn't bother me.....good labeling is really valuable cause a list can go out of date, sort of........

    I have years before I deal with this, but just to let you know, all flavors of both Powerade and Gatorade are gluten-free.
  7. celiac3270
    Oh, definitely..........you have to be careful of everything.....prescriptions, aspirins, other medicines. For example, Gas-X has gluten, many aspirins do, etc. You need to be VERY careful with medicine.

    Oscar Mayer is a division of Kraft, though, so they should follow the same labeling procedures....therefore, you should be able to find out by looking on the package. They have many gluten-free products, but you should read the labels..........if I get the list, I'll post it....
  9. celiac3270
    Oh, shoot, this is really frustrating.....I have an Oscar Mayer list of gluten-free foods, but I haven't been able to get into my aol for days.......I get e-mail from aol.com, but I can't get stuff from "my filing cabinet" or my favorites........I know I have their whole list, but I freeze up whenever I click on it--I'll get this straightened up in a few...

    Although the maltodextrin shouldn't be the problem, there could be other ingredients in the forumla that contain gluten (flavors?). I had forgotten about that, but you're correct; he was definitely getting gluten from breastfeeding
  11. celiac3270
    Oh, by the way, I just looked up maltodextrin on the site....I didn't realize this, but now (don't think it was this way before), it IS gluten-free for sure in the USA (don't know what is the deal in Canada) unless in vitamins....here is what I got from celiac.com:

    Being a thirteen-year-old boy, I don't know where to buy gluten-free formulas , but I did have one thing about the ingredients: maltodextrin doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't gluten-free. Malt is a bad ingredient, obviously, and dextrin can be if it's not made from corn, but the ingredient maltodextrin doesn't necessarily contain gluten...in fact...
  13. celiac3270
    No, you're correct; it can be bad, it's just that you might incorreclty assume from the ingredient, whose name contains both malt (a gluten-containing ingredient) and dextrin (possibly a gluten-containing ingredient) that the actual ingredient contains either of those and therefore isn't gluten-free. Although maltodextrin can contain gluten, it can also...

    I've heard that, obviously, it varies from person to person between quick reactionsn (the 30 min. kind) up to about 48 hours to get a reaction. So, if you get contaminated, but you are unsure of what it was from (here you're lucky to know why), you should really examine your diet for the past two days. You can't be sure, really, that it's not something...

    I use many more Kraft products as well.....I feel more comfortable with that company's food cause I feel like they're more careful about gluten....now I actually look for Kraft products to get instead of the other brands.......I really appreciate what they've done for labeling.......they've adopted the labeling standards that I would dream of all manufacturers...
  16. celiac3270
    Oh, I forgot to mention that I am ULTRA CRAZY PARNOID.......if anything falls on the counter, no matter how expensive it was, it's contaminated. If I'm scooping ice cream or a parent is scooping for me cause it's hard as a rock, only my fingers can be used to pull it off the spoon. Additionally, I keep my distance from anyone eating a gluten food, and I...

    Although Splenda is gluten-free, some people here have complained of having symptoms from it; Richard said that everybody (celiacs and non-celiacs) can have reactions from it that seem celiac-like, for example diarrhea....here is this discussion. Oh, by the way, Karen (canadian karen) said that Stevia is gluten-free and she uses it w/o a problem.....I don...

    You'd have to contact the individual manufacturers to determine whether or not foods are produced in facilities with gluten-containing foods or not. Of course, there's risk with most regular foods you eat that there is contamination (for example, FritoLays)....most companies will warn you of contamination, not necessarily because it's likely, but just in...

    Karen, I'm going to try the heating pad for stomach pain........my grandma had one for her back that didn't help her (she has scoliosis and the most severe osteoporosis the doctors have ever seen). Anyway, she has to come into the city for another doctor's appt....trying to find someone who can help her back....and she's bringing the pad since it doesn...

    That's terrific! Diagnosing it yourself is a big deal and you should be proud of it! And, it wasn't even a self-diagnosis; you diagnosed it for two other people! I had all the signs of celiac disease for years and I didn't find celiac, my doc. didn't find celiac until sending me to a GI who ran MANY tests......good job!
  21. celiac3270
    I'm surprised that they even had a list for Canada.......do they not follow that same labeling procedure there? Kraft, like Tiffany said, doesn't give out a list, but they don't need to because reading the label can ensure you that the food is safe.....which is exactly what I love about their products. Flavorings, starches, etc. are gluten-free unless...

    Hi Kim, Welcome to the board. Here are a few links that might be helpful for starting the gluten-free diet: Link to celiac.com forbidden ingredients list for gluten-free diet Additional things to be aware of in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet Link to celiac.com site index -- a good place to find info. I haven't been able to get my AOL working...

    Welcome to the board, Matt! I would think, though, that after three years, one's intestines would be healed regardless of whether they drank this....especially, obviously, with a strictly gluten-free diet. The intestines start to heal within days of going gluten-free..........but just sort of on the surface.....eventually they heal completely, but it shouldn...

    Spelt is not good.....one of the bad grains...very similar to wheat, or as one site puts it: LOL......best suited for digestive system........haha.....anyway, it's no good....there's a list of good and bad ingredients on this site (celiac.com)...go to site index on the toolbar on the left, go to safe and forbidden ingredients list, and you can find...
