  1. Oh, here's another topic on it from earlier today: Open Original Shared Link Thank you for posting, though...
  2. Yes, this article was originally from AP: Open Original Shared Link
  3. Success!!!
  4. Excellent point. GIG is a phenomenal group...I love it and personally think that the CSA is a little...misguided. For example, they opposed the food allergen labeling bill. Just ask Richard (lovegrov on here, or kegler4 on the delphi board) about the CSA and he'll give you an earful...lol.
  5. Hey, Marcie! Are you Tim's wife? I met him in Chicago (GIG conference) and knew him from the Delphi board. Burdee, I posted under another topic (samples for support groups) having not seen this topic:
  6. Actually, do you know the St. John's Listserv? They have a list for just general celiac stuff, but they also have one for doctors, one for support group leaders, etc. You need to provide verification that you actually lead the support group--like, the name of your group, etc. That might be something to look into. And have you been to the Delphi board...
  7. It's not all Pepsi products. It's all Pepsi softdrinks (that is to say, Pepsi, diet Pepsi, etc., but also mountain dew, etc.) Crystal Light is gluten-free, but it irritates me gastrointestinally (bloating) whenever I drink it. Jif/Skippy are gluten-free, but I'm not sure about reduced fat and stuff.
  8. Modified corn starch is always fine. Food starch or modified food starch is questionable and you would need to call the company to determine what the starch is made of (corn, wheat, potato, etc.)
  9. I'm going to call them...I don't wnat to keep waiting like this. The hours are 9-6 ET (8-5 central) so I'll call and post back with the answer.
  10. From what I read, someone said it wasn't gluten-free. I haven't yet confirmed that it's not, though. Just hold off on it for now and we'll see.
  11. Ahhh...my favorite restaurant...and I live in NY, too! I've talked to the head of the GFRAP (Open Original Shared Link) --the people who teach all these restaurants about making gluten-free food and then certifying them as being trained. Anyway, she brought the idea to them and they weren't interested! They doubted that there was a very big business. ...
  12. Nope, mfs is always questionable. Maltodextrin is always gluten-free in food in the US unless it says "WHEAT maltodextrin" but questionable ouside the US. Citric acid is also gluten-free in the US, but questionable outside.
  13. The mostly gluten-free thing WILL NOT WORK. Getting contaminated once a month is the equivalent of not following it at all. Being mostly gluten-free will do very little...and a nutritionist isn't qualified to judge the blood results. Gluten intolerance is sometimes used synonymously with Celiac disease. Technically, though, the difference is that with...
  14. You're absolutely right--(re: it's not a germ, it's a protein). And you really can't clean some of the cookware. I have talked to one person who managed to keep her cast iron cookware after SANDBLASTING it.
  15. Oh, the best way to reduce the # of results you get--go to search, then click more options...you can specify more clearly what you want.
  16. See this thread for info. on searching. Open Original Shared Link Unfortunately, some of the information may be outdated since we've had one pretty big board update since this was written (for example, I don't think there is an advanced usage help option anymore...you'll see what I mean).
  17. In the US, yes...but are not made on dedicated lines. Sorry, I don't know about Canada and their website is useless...
  18. I got an e-mail about five minutes ago. This is so stupid...they didn't say anything...I'm writing back and kindly demanding an answer: I am writing back as follows:
  19. If you e-mail them, they'll send you a list. I sent an e-mail about a year ago, so I wasn't going to respond with old information.
  20. Yes... see this link for Scott's newsletter: https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=29 ...I have not read it, but know a friend who subscribed to it for a year.
  21. I get Living Without and it's pretty good. Another that I've heard of, but have never seen is called Gluten Free Living... (I think the website is www.glutenfreeliving.com)
  22. Still haven't received a reply...I might send another e-mail today...
  23. I wouldn't wait for his birthday like that. It sends the wrong message to him which is that it's not THAT important or they would've put me on it right away, and if I can stay off the diet for this birthday, why not my next birthday and then why not during major holidays, etc. It is ridiculous for your husband to say, though, that your sister would make...

    ARCHIVED Hello

    Asia, which tests did you have done? Did you have a biopsy or blood tests and do you or your mom know which ones? I've read in other posts that you felt really bad when you accidentally consumed gluten, so you might have some problem with gluten, even if it isn't celiac.
  25. Absolutely. As your intestines heal they become more sensitive to gluten...and are less accustomed to it, yielding a more painful reaction when you do accidentally ingest gluten.
