Based on your description, I SERIOUSLY doubt this is a gluten thing.

richard

Ice cream should not be a struggle at all. As kareng said, you're almost universally OK as long as you avoid the obvious stuff -- cookies, cake and so forth. A very few ice creams do have barley malt, but I've always found it listed.

richard

Grits are good to go.

We saved enough on tires (three vehicles) to pay for several years worth of fees.

Not to scare anybody, but a sudden weird reaction or intolerance to alcohol is a symptom of Hodgkin's. With that said, I imagine the odds are MUCH higher that it's something else. However, if you have other symptoms or strange stuff happening along with this sudden intolerance, see a doctor.

richard

I know it has been in the past but I haven't checked on it in a long time. Mostly because it falls under the category of being highly unlikely to contain gluten. We use it.

richard

I'd consider seeing a doctor.

Richard

Toothpastes are pretty much universally gluten-free.

richard

My tolerance didn't change. I could still drink just as much as before, maybe even more as my weight went up. You are right in that a sudden intolerance or strange reactions to alcohol can also be a sign of something else going on.

rihard

Doesn't sound like mine (when I had it).

richard

If they say contain wheat, they contain wheat. Don't eat. May contain wheat is probably a warning that they make items that contain wheat and there's some possibility of contamination. You'd have to check with them about their procedures. I looked at a couple of their mixes online, and while it warns it's manufactured in a facility that has wheat, it's something that I'd probably use. It's a personal thing.

richard

As already mentioned, the key is to find products that are just gluten-free anyway and stay away from expensive stuff. Toothpaste is pretty much universally gluten-free (MAYBE one type of Sensodyne isn't). Hand soaps generally are not a problem and you can certainly find a regular one that works.

However, if your family insists on having bread or pasta, it will get pricy, even if you make your own bread. Not sure how much the non-celiac people will appreciate the bread, either.

richard

I have to agree with Sylvia. Why are you certain this is an ever-changing gluten reaction?

richard

Ironically, the red bag of Doritos in the story is not gluten free.

True. A little homework would have helped.

I have to say that it's hard for me to imagine that moving loaves of bread, especially if they're wrapped, would make you sick, but cleaning up flour is something I simply refuse to do.

richard

For me it's three hours. I start getting sort of a panicked feeling and then the nausea. However, I don;t think that either your gluten-free bun or the sausage is your culprit -- at least not as far as gluten is concerned.

richard

I recently received a Keurig coffee maker - the one with the little single serving coffee doins' that you pop into the machine & press GO. I noticed that some brands of the coffee doins' contain autolyzed yeast extract. NOT going near that cuppa joe!

If you're worried about gluten in tha,t don't be.

richard

"It contains Modified Food Starch which is a an ingredient that may contain gluten and the according to the FDA rules a company does not have to list that a gluten containing grain is included in modified food starch. The rule is: If it contains modified food starch and it is not tested and labeled gluten free it is assumed it contains gluten."

This is just completely wrong.

richard

I know a kid who has tourettes, although perhaps not the worst case in the world. He is on a tennis scholarship at college and is one of the more brilliant math students I've ever known personally.

richard

Domino's doesn't recommend the crust for people with celiac.

richarde

Takal, I guess I've gotten pretty cynical about Congress. There's been a bi-partisan bill out there for more than a year now that both sides agree will help keep cancer medicines for kids in better supply and therefor possibly save lives, and yet they can't get it passed. The Republican House speaker blames the president (which is total BS) and the Democrat Senate majority leader says that's the way the Senate works. What crap. I sent in my letter, though.

richard

Never found a fish sauce with gluten.

richard

Found this at the Tic Tac site:

Tic Tac

If you are around a lot of loose dust you could be getting some gluten, whether by inhaling or inadvertently by touching your mouth. HOWEVER, for many people three weeks gluten free isn't enough time to see an enormous improvement.

richard

I will remain hopeful for this bill but the odds in favor are minuscule in large part because it was introduced by Democrats, which means most Republicans automatically oppose it no matter what it is. Often goes the other way, as well, but in this case the Rpubs can just outright kill it. And that is almost certainly what will happen.
