    I apologize for not remembering but how long were you gluten-free? If it was for a while, 11 days of eating gluten isn't nearly enough for an accurate biopsy. If it wasn't for very long you're probably OK. richard

    Because you don't see the words "wheat," "rye," or "barley" in those ingredients, according to Kraft's policy, it's gluten-free. If any of the ingredients you marked had wheat, rye, or barley, it would have said so. richard

    Hmm. Very mysterious post. Here's what I know. I ate gluten and MSG and nearly died. Now I eat MSG and no gluten -- feel perfectly fine. richard

    celiac3270 is right about Kraft. Even if it says MFS, it's OK if it doesn't say wheat, rye or barley. Although we should always be wary of modified food starch, it in fact almost NEVER from wheat because other starches are cheaper. I can't remember the last tinme I called about a product and it wasn't gluten-free because of MFS. richard

    All I've ever seen have been gluten-free. richard

    Lea and Perrins is gluten-free. So was French's last time I checked. Don't get mad at Kraft. Kraft clearly lists any gluten in any product in the ingredients. All you have to do is pick up a bottle and read the ingredients. This is how I wish EVERY company would be. richard

    I'll offer a different perspective -- just avoid buying those expensive and sometimes crummy tasting gluten-free specialty foods. The ONLY gluten-free specialty foods I buy with any regularity are pasta and crackers and the crackers aren't much more than regular ones. Instead of expensive gluten-free cookies I either make my own or, usually, eat some other...

    Yes. Always.

    "The only risk I see taking this way, is missing the diagnosis of something more serous thats not IBS or celiac disease." That's the only risk I can see. richard

    Rolaids. Pepcid AC. Prilosec OTC. (all of these were last checked by me a while ago so should be reverified) I also think the Tums statement is nothing more than a CYA, but they are others to use so why give them the business? richard

    All blue cheese is NOT made from bread crumbs. In the U.S. virtually all blue cheese culture is started on an artificial medium. Boar's Head BC is gluten-free, as is the BC used in Outback blue cheese dressing. Kraft always lists gluten if it is there and their blue cheese dressing lists no gluten. Same with Marie's blue cheese dressing. In addition, from...

    O'bertos, but check the flavor. Some are and some aren't. The ones that aren't have wheat listed. Or call the company to male sure. richard

    I agree with Deb. Basically all ice creams I've checked have been gluten-free UNLESS they have obvious stuff like cookies, brownies, cake, etc. richard

    I think it's great you're thinking about doing this although it sounds tough without an oven. Include your MIL from the beginning to make sure you have the right ingredients etc. It is NOT necessary to have all new dishes or glasses. And any glass, Pyrex, stainless steel, or aluminum pot or pan you have is fine. Same if you have any metal spatulas. Most...

    In the U.S. maltodextrin is OK (except possibly in medications, although I've nver found one that's a problem). Despite its name, maltodextrin does not have malt or dextrin. richard

    Thai Kitchen dry soups (add hot water). Tyson pre-cooked chicken legs or whole chickens (if you don't have a fridge would have to eat in one sitting). Vienna sausage. If your school has a domr with a kitchen you need to demand to move to that dorm. richard

    Ige is the allergy test. The others you mentioned -- Igg and Igg are celiac related. Also Ttg. Celiac is not an allergy. richard

    All Smirnoff and Bacardi liquors (their malted drinks like Smirnoff Ice are not) are gluten-free. In fact, virtually all liquor is gluten-free because of distilling. No list that you read has every single gluten-free item in the world. This is why you ask questions and call companies. richard

    Reese's is a Hershey products. Hershey clearly lists gluten in the ingredients if it's there. All you have to do is read the ingredients. richard

    I didn't say the pharmacist shouldn't know what gluten means. But should the pharmacist know every single ingredient that MIGHT hide gluten? Do you really think the pharmacist is the one who should call the manufacturer? Not me. I want to hear what the manufacturer says, particularly since pharmaceutical companies are the worst about CYA statements. I don...

    Butterball. I just recently posted a whole thread about Butterball. Turkey really isn't hard. I've NEVER found one with gluten. The USDA REQUIRES companies to clearly list items with nutritional value (this includes wheat and barley) if they add it to raw meat. richard

    Almost all blue cheese made in the U.S. is started on an artificial medium and therefore gluten-free without question. Even if it is started on bread, there is serious doubt about whether any gluten transfers, and even if it does transfer, the amount would be so miniscule as to be much less than the chance of cross contamination at a restaurant. This is...

    Sprouted bread is NOT recommended for people with celiac. richard

    I've seen several people claim that Butterball "injects" their turkeys with gluten or that Butterball has told them they can't eat the turkeys, so I e-mailed them. Here's the reply. "When there are dietary concerns, we advise purchasing Butterball Fresh Turkey and Butterball Fresh Breast of Turkey, which are all-natural and contain no added ingredients...
