    "All I found on the Kraft site was their PDF file on gluten-free products, basically saying to read the labels carefully..." What else do you hope to find? Kraft has one of the best ingredient policies of any company. richard

    OK, I'll change what I said. In four years I've never found a balsamic vinegar that isn't gluten-free and I've never heard of anybody else who has found one. If anybody has found one, please post the brand name here so we'll know. richard

    Smirnoff is made from corn. richard

    If the turkey doesn't clearly list wheat or barley, it's gluten-free. As for Woodchuck cider, this is straight from the FAQ on their website: "Yes. Woodchuck Draft Cider is gluten free." richard

    Balsamic vinegar itself is always gluten-free, but dressing that includes balsamic isn't necessarily. You need to ask. richard

    I'm no Starbucks fan, but all their coffees are gluten-free except a couple that they add some sort of chips to after brewing. Although you should always check before drinking, flavored coffees are almost without exception gluten-free. richard

    I'm not sure I would ever take the pill myself, but I was willing to submit to the trial if it helped others who might need it for whatever reason. Is that all right? richard

    I also applied to be in the study and they called me, but I was rejected, I assume because of two medications I'm taking. richard

    You need an endoscopy. richard

    In the U.S. "natural" anything flavor means it's made from just that. Natural cherry flavor is made from cherries. I cannot tell you for certain it applies to imports. richard

    Unfortunately this is a fairly standard answer with drug manufacturers. However, it's pretty much just a CYA answer. I'd use the medications. richard

    Once upon a time somebody, I think it was the CSA, claimed that people with celiac should avoid annatto. This was based on nothing at all. Annatto is without question gluten-free. However, there do seem to be some people who disagree with annatto. richard

    Bob's for sure. Spangler. All of the ones I know of from known candymakers, like Lifesaver, Jolly Rancher, etc. richard

    Butterball turkeys -- fresh or frozen -- are gluten-free. They always have been. The gravy is not. richard

    McCormick pure spices are just that, the spice listed on the can. No msg or gluten or whatever. Some spice mixtures might sometimes have gluten but it's McCormick's policy to clearly list it if it's there. richard

    Let's think about this again. If someone sued to require every airline flight and every airport and every restaurant to have gluten-free meals available, then to be fair they'd all have to have meals for each the eight major allergens, diabetes, people with high blood pressureand so on and so on. When Katrina hit, lots and lots of people went hungry and...

    Obviously I can't say it never happens, but in four years of being gluten-free, I've never found a gum where they "dust" the lines with wheat. Also, Smarties in the U.S. (in Canada Smarties are a different candy and are NOT gluten-free) are indeed gluten-free, either that or the company is lying to us. richard

    I hope somebody can help you; I wouldn't even know where to begin. Generally, people who have this many restrictions take care of their own foods to avoid mistakes or contamination. richard

    Do not eat a stuffed turkey. Even if the stuffing itself never touches the breast (there's no way for you to know this for sure), gluten will get into the juices. Do they baste with the juices? Take your own or see if they'll cook the stuffing separately. richard

    Vanillan is gluten-free. richard

    Fireballs are gluten-free. richard

    There are airlines that don't provide a gluten-free meal at all. I can't imagine that any restaurant would be required to do provide gluten-free food under the law. If you depend on a wheelchair to get around, you cannot bring your own ramp or larger doors or elevator to get into a place. If they aren't there, you can't use it. However, if you have celiac...

    All injectables and IVs are gluten-free. The flu shot is safe from a gluten standpoint. richard

    Nice restaurants are the easiest because they have real chefs. richard

    Let me add to what I said. While I still don't see it as an ADA thing, let's imagine that it is. If you like working at this place and you want to stay, do you really want to cry "ADA" over a $5 or $10 lunch? Threatening a legal procedure will definitely change perceptions of you, even among some of your co-workers. I think you'd also want to consult with...
