    If you haven't seen a doctor recently then it's past time to do so. What you're experiencing does NOT sound like a reaction to going gluten-free. You need to find out what it is and there's no way anybody here can diagnose you over the Internet. I hope it's nothing serious, but you need to find out. richard

    I do doubt that the same Marie's mixture I buy in the store would be used on a salad bar because of the expense, unless it's an expensive restaurant. richard

    Some people have pain. Some people don't have diarrhea. Recovery from celiac disease takes different amounts of time for different people. Are you aware of cross contamination sources? Do you still eat out a lot? And finally, it's also possiblke you simply hvae a virus. One of the hard things is determining whether you've made a gluten mistake or whether...

    I've done it using Zatarain's corn batter. richard

    I can't tell you how accurately they can measure rye, but as I said before, the culture they use is miniscule. If the culture were pure 100 percent gluten, the amount would be somewhere around one part per million. Of course the culture is not 100 percent gluten (if there is indeed any gluten at all), so the percentage is well below one part per million...

    I have no memory at all of the two I had three years ago. Ask for Versed. richard

    I haven't just seen it, I've bought and eaten it. richard

    Perhaps jknnej has hit on something that might be helpful -- next time you start thinking you're too busy to eat gluten-free, remember that it takes a heck of a lot more time to be sick from eating gluten. richard

    Never heard of feta with gluten. richard

    Fatigue is THE most common symptom of celiac. Mental fogginess sort of goes along with the fatigue. Have you been tested for anemia? The dizziness also can be a celiac symptom, although there are many other causes. The anxiety and racing heart could be happening simply because you're worried about what's going on. I was very ill and so fatigued I could...

    If you can't find Boar's Head or another listed, then all you can do is get the names of the ones you can find and then try to track down a company phone number or web site. richard

    First, I'd call McCormick and ask them if their labeling policy extends to Shilling spices. I'm sure they have an 800 number. And no matter what you do, definitely don't throw away any of the pure single spices. You simply don't have to worry about gluten in them. richard

    Last time I looked, McCormick was gluten-free. I THINK Kraft might have been, too. With both, just read the ingredients. richard

    As I said on that earlier post, it simply is not necessary to avoid all blue-veined cheeses. If you call companies you can find out how the culutre was started. Many cheeses are no longer started with bread mold. Even when it is started on bread, there's considerable debate about whether gluten is even transferred. You're not putting actual bread into...

    As noted before, all you have to do on any fresh chicken of ANY brand is read the ingredients. richard

    The problem is that some of this information is old now. richard

    I would agree wthat too many "me too" posts is a bad thing, but with something like celiac where people are often pulled by conflicting statements, a handful of them on certain topics can help make readers (particularly newbies) more confident about something. richard

    OK, I'll have to disagree with celiac3270 some. Although I heard years ago to watch out for colorings, I've never, ever found one with gluten. If anybody knows of a food with gluten because of artificial color, please say so. Artificial flavors also seem to be almost without exception safe, but please check to make sure. Natural flavors DEFINITELY need...

    At two months, it'd simply too early to start thinking about celiac and you certainly can't test for it. The child is just too young for celiac to even be a consideration. richard

    Never found a regular, decaf or even flavored coffee (although I still check on any flavored ones) with gluten. I also heard the rumor about decaf having gluten but never found one in three years. There is one flavor at Starbucks with gluten, but only because they add something like brownies to it right in front of you. richard

    I'm NOT telling people not to check, but it's juts not true that wheat is "often" used for possible clumping (actually, I think the main reason it's used is to make some spice mixtures stick better when they're sprinkled on). Anyway, I can't remember the last time I found one that didn't already have the wheat listed. richard

    After being gluten-free for more than three years I have yet to find a raw chicken that contains gluten. The "broth" is always made from chicken or vegetables. And as said before, it it DID contain something wheat, it must be clearly listed. That means that if it says modified food starch (which I've nver seen) it still would have to clearly list wheat if...

    Kaiti, Please give us the source for this information on MSG. MSG is one of those things theres a lot of hysteria and misinformation about and having a source can help people judge the veracity of the information. richard

    If you're looking for a Krispy Kreme type GR doughnut, they don't exist as far as I know. richard

    While I've never found a sour cream that I've confirmed has gluten, I have seen sour cream with modified food starch. I'd check the ingredients. richard
