    "I always react to Tyson chicken, along with Holly Farms, Great Value, and Kroger brands," I've used all of those brands except GV and they are gluten-free. richard

    Absolutely do NOT take any herb or supplement without checking with a doctor, especially if you take medications. Some herbs can cause major problems for people with certain condition or on certain meds. richard

    According to what I read, TRUE barley sugar is made with extract of barley, which indicates to me it probably doesn't carry over the poisonous effects. In addition, some manufacturers make something they call barley sugar or barley sugar candy without actually using barley. IOW, it's quite possible that Cadbury's barley sugar is indeed gluten-free. richard

    I'd rank olive oil right there at the top as far as products I use without worry. richard

    Just to add emphasis, Patti is right. richard

    I trust them in that if they put it on the gluten-free list -- which they did -- that in fact means the product is not meant to have gluten and has no known gluten. Could there be cross contamination? Can't tell you. That's a chance we often take when we eat something processed. It's a fact of life. As for the chips, I'm not certain whether you mean potato...

    DH was not always symmetrical with me -- and I had it for more than 20 years, so I knew when I had it. richard

    Ham is also pretty much OK except a couple that have a glaze that lists wheat. Read the ingredients. I agree that the less stuff added to the turkey the better, but most people do buy turkeys with broth, flavoring etc. For several years now I've asked people to list the raw fresh or frozen turkeys they've found that definitely contain gluten. That list...

    Peter is right in that Kraft will clearly list any gluten, so no need to call them. AND, Kay DH, you have it backwards, at least for the U.S. You do NOT need to look for MFS starch to list safe ingredients; all you need to do is make sure it doesn't say wheat, which by law must be listed. In reality, MFS is generally not off limits whatsoever. It virtually...

    If you're thinking of doing this simply to try to lose weight, definitely do NOT do it until after having the baby. Richard

    One of my pet peeves. And it isn't just younger generations. I grew up in the 60s and early 70s and people my age do it all the time. There are occasions where the only way I can finish anything i to continue talking over the interrupters. Sometimes that tactic shuts them up but other times they plow on ahead. richard

    This talk about turkey comes up every year. I'll make my usual declaration that I've yet to see a turkey -- I'm talking about your basic raw fresh or frozen turkey -- that has gluten, even the ones that are "injected" or have broth. Same with chicken. I keep hearing that some of these with broth have gluten but I can't name one that does. Instead of a...

    Like you I felt amazingly fit until ... Boom! Are you anemic? Unexplained anemia and fatigue are MAJOR symptoms. And I had very little diarrhea but plenty of gas. richard

    Never ever heard of xanthan gum made from wheat. And if it were in the U.S. it would have to be listed. This is something I definitely will not worry about. And remember, wikipedia isn't exactly the most accurate source in the world. It's FULL of mistakes.

    Odds are it will be OK. You can read the ingredients once it arrives, but if want to know sooner, you can just call and ask. richard

    Good golly, woman, tell the folks in your church about your celiac. Then take it from there. I can't imagine a reason not to. richard

    Never seen an applesauce with gluten in 9 years. richard

    A celiac test for one this young would be useless. You'll have to go with your instincts. richard

    On the contrary, the vast majority of broths, at least the ones you find in the grocery store in the U.S., are gluten-free these days. Not all, but most. I don't know about soy, though. And in the U.S. when you find broth listed as part of a meat, it's usually just what is says -- IOW, vegetable broth is made from vegetables and little or nothing else. ...

    No luck involved. They have been gluten-free for a while. Nothing to fear there. richard

    I've yet to see a fish sauce that has gluten. richard

    Blue cheese is gluten-free. richard

    I've pretty much found spice blends to be gluten-free unless they list wheat, which is rare. Usually in something more like a dry marinade mix or occasionally something Mexican. Also will sometimes find it at restaurant in one of their special spice blends, such as the vegetable spice at Outback. richard

    Bye bye Halloween. 205 little monsters came by our house tonight. richard

    I want to agree with Peter here. There's absolutely no way to put a percentage chance of contamination on all products in one lump. There are certain things that are simply inherently more likely to be contaminated. richard
