    I wouldn't. Of course the McD burger without as bun is absolutely AWFUL anyway, so why bother? Best one I've had is the Hardee's Low-Carb Thickburger. SOOO much better than McD or even Wendy's. richard

    Early on a lot of people suddenly think they start seeing celiac in every other person. Reality is that no more than 1 percent of people have or will have celiac. A red spot on your grandson's face does not mean celiac. Occasional diarrhea or fatigue does not mean celiac. A pattern of some of these things, especially in people with a family history, means...

    Sort of off-topic but cranberry sauce that isn't gluten-free? Turkey that isn't gluten-free unless it's stuffed? The restaurant wasn't being honest with you -- or being overly paranoid. Anyway, you definitely have reason to be paranoid at your fiance's house. I often take something really yummy and quite easy, like steamed spice shrimp with sauce. richard

    You're being paranoid. I'd eat it. richard

    I'm curious as to which flavored creamers have gluten. richard

    I was indeed speaking of raw uncooked turkeys, not something like the Honeybaked turkeys. As I said, I've yet to find one that has gluten. richard

    If roux is absolutely necessary, it's strange that I have two recipes from Louisiana, (I think one is in a book by Paul Prudhomme, but my memory could be bad on that one) that call for file but no roux. Of course roux is just fine, but I generally don't bother as it simply doesn't taste the same to me when it's not wheat flour. And no, I don't add the file...

    If you don't want self-basting or "injected" for other reasons that's fine, but I don't know of ANY unstuffed turkeys that have gluten and every time I ask for folks to name ones they've found WITH gluten -- as I'll do again now -- all I get is silence. IOW, turkeys are generally safe. Jenny-O, Butterball, Marval and on and on. Your turkey with MFS would...

    Leftover on pizza. What a great idea. richard

    File, file, file. Forget that roux for gumbo.

    I can't imagine they wouldn't be gluten-free. I have yet to find an unstuffed turkey that wasn't gluten-free. Soy by law would have to be clearly listed. richard

    You might also try this recipe using Frank's Red Hot sauce. I like Frank's because while it's spicy, it's not so hot that you lose flavor. Richard

    In 8 years I've yet to find a turkey that isn't gluten-free unless it had been stuffed. The only exception might have been a Honeybaked turkey (I never checked on that one) but it is now gluten-free. With ham, the main danger are the pre-glazed ones. Sometimes the commercial glaze uses wheat, although that would, of course, be clearly listed. Honeybaked...

    I'd be curious what levels they actually get, because there a good chance it's not as high as 20. The statement refers to the fact that the FDA likely will adopt 20 ppm as the gluten-free level. Last time I checked the crackers were made on a dedicated line but not in a dedicated facility. Not sure is that's still true. richard

    You missed the CSA conference by two weeks. That would be one of the larger ones. GIG (gluten.net) has a large the first weekend of June every year. It's in Minneapolis in 2010. richard

    A few years ago one of the findings of the NIH conference on celiac was that if you test positive for DH by biopsy, you should assume you have celiac and no further celiac testing is needed. Basically, if you have DH, you have or will have celiac. I can't say whether or not the science has changed since then, but I think standard advice among experts remains...

    Doesn't happen in the U.S., or anywhere else I know of. Generally speaking, I believe that wheat has more than rye or barely. Spelt is a low-gluten wheat. Be aware that gluten intolerance can grow into full-blown celiac. richard

    Umm, could you provide a little more detail? Not sure at all what you're saying. richard

    $65!!! Yow!!! I spent $30 for lunch at one of New Orleans' best places and I thought THAT was expensive. richard

    In 8 years I have yet to hear of anybody who has found caramel coloring with gluten. Most celiac disease experts and organizations now consider caramel coloring safe, at least in the U.S. I guess it's a personal decision, but it's just not an ingredient I worry about any more. richard

    I agree with everybody else that this was an unacceptable response. I mean, how hard is it to bring a salad? That said, if there were 500 people, the kitchen staff was probably beyond maxed out and with hardly a second to spare. I know, I've been there. Wasn't it possible for you to call ahead? I've never had very good luck with just showing up and hoping...

    As said, artificial flavor is gluten-free. Natural flavor COULD hide gluten but in reality never or almost never does. Since the U.S. has started requiring that wheat be listed, I don't worry about it. richard
  24. lovegrov
    In the U.S. you will not find caramel coloring with gluten. In 8 years, I've never seen it. Distilled vinegar is gluten-free. "Vinegar" is distilled vinegar and is gluten-free. Cider vinegar is gluten-free. "Some say the distillation process kills off the proteins, but my gastro doc, who is also celiac, said an absolute "NO!" to malt vinegar in the...

    The ones who say MSG has gluten or can have gluten are wrong. It is gluten-free. richard
