  1. I simply don't see how smelling a doughnut or food separated by a cubicle wall could set of a gluten reaction. Food that's already cooked doesn't sit there throwing off gluten molecules. I do think that it's possible for someone in an environment with lots of loose flour to breathe some in and ingest it that way, but not with cooked food. Your final example...
  2. Even if you could find a gluten-free Kikkoman, it wouldn't tasted like the version with wheat. The wheat does make a taste difference. richard
  3. Again, it doesn't matter where the maltodextrin is made, if it has wheat and the product is sold in the U.S., the wheat MUST be listed. richard
  4. No help on the medication, BUT, if you're not strictly gluten-free, that's absolutely what you need to do. Period. That should solve all. richard
  5. There's no gluten in food coloring. Can't say if something else about it might bother you. richard
  6. If this stuff has wheat in it it must by U.S. law list it. It doesn't matter where it comes from or where the maltodextrin is made. ANY maltodextrin from wheat must list the wheat. Period. That's actually a separate law from the allergen law. Now if there's barley in it somewhere that's another matter. richard
  7. I don't, but on a a board like this, you're going to find a higher percentage of people with extra problems. It's the way it is. richard
  8. If you don't already know what DH is, you probably don't have to worry. DH is dermatitis herpeteformis, essentially the skin version of celiac. Most people with celiac don't have it. richard
  9. As you've seen, you have to read both the ingredients list and the contains list. And the pale ale probably has no wheat, but all know or have to assume it has barley. richard
  10. I was speaking to gluten only, not other ingredients. The original statement was one about gluten in vaccinations and contained misinformation about gluten. That's what I addressed. Perhaps it was a little abrupt, but on the Internet things get spread quickly. I actually wanted to have the post deleted so that it wouldn't get copied to some other site or...
  11. Once again the vinegar question is coming up in various places, including claims by certain people that the Elisa tests they've done have come up positive for distilled vinegar (although I've noticed that these claims don't mention whether they even confirmed these vinegars came from wheat). Anyway, Tricia Thompson, well-known celiac expert, posted this recently...
  12. It took me months to feel "normal" again. I S-L-O-W-L-Y started feeling better after several days, but it was an up and down battle for many weeks. richard
  13. Congrats. I hit 30 on July 28. richard
  14. This information is just completely WRONG. MSG does NOT have gluten and there are no known injectables -- last time I checked -- that have gluten. Even if they did have gluten, what would you rather do, have your child get some serious illness, or have your child battle a brief glutening? richard
  15. Your farmer is completely wrong. richard
  16. Just saw that the Dodgers also have it. richard
  17. Plain rice is all gluten-free. For seasoned ones, read the ingredients or call. richard
  18. "Tuna- there are lots of tunas that are marinated in broths, which are always scary for celiacs. I am sure to get the Starkist very low sodium Chunk White Albacore Tuna in Water (gold can), where the only ingredients are tuna and water." Every tuna I've checked has been gluten-free. The broths do NOT contain gluten. Usually it's a vegetable broth, no...
  19. "I think I have found the best route for me is to purchase Organic meats from a local source. I have even looked into purchasing an entire cow from an organic farmer. " Excellent idea. And very yummy. richard
  20. I admit it's been perhaps 2 years since I've talked to them, but every conversation has confirmed the grain must be listed. Perhaps that's changed, but I'm not going there again. richard
  21. "Perdue for example has a list of gluten free chicken products. If all their products were gluten free they would simply state that fact." Oh good golly, of course they don't say that because some of their products DO have gluten. And the gluten is clearly listed. richard
  22. "Barley malt is not considered a grain, it is considered a natural flavoring." Please explain where this came from. Barley is a grain. Period. The USDA says ANY grain must be listed. Period. Barley malt is NOT considered a flavoring. Barley is a grain; malting it does not make it not a grain. You alleged in an earlier post that barley is frequently...
  23. All corn tortillas I've ever seen have been gluten-free, HOWEVER, the company probably makes flour tortillas as well, which could result in CC. richard
