    "Don't worry about the brand name, just look for an all natural turkey with no additives and no preservatives. That's the only way to know it's gluten free " I'm sorry, but that is NOT the only way. richard

    Read the ingredients on any chicken or turkey. Gluten grains must be listed if included. richard

    "I also am leary about anything they inject because they have many ways to disguise msg and probably gluten also on the label." True for MSG. But, once again, on meats like turkey, gluten CANNOT be hidden. It will be plainly listed. Period. richard

    "Richard, you're saying that since I was diagnosed with a borderline wheat allergy, not celiac, I should be able to ingest regular beer, barley soup, steel-cut oatmeal -- all without wheat products of course. You may have just made my day" I'm no expert on wheat allergy but you should be able to eay rye and barley. As for beer, many are made from wheat...

    Given that we're closing in on the holidays, I think it's time for a reminder that might help make things a little less stressful. Picking a meat -- turkey, ham, pork, seafood, chicken, etc. -- is easy. The USDA has for years required that ANY grain added to a meat be listed. This means that wheat, rye, barley, or oats would be clearly a part of the ingredients...

    People who have a real allergy to wheat do not react to barley, rye, oats, etc. This is entirely different from celiac. The allergen law did not list all "gluten" because a demand to do so would have resulted in no allergen law at all. People with a wheat allergey and folks with celiac are much better off than they were before the law. richard

    "I know Butter Ball wasn't several years ago, they injected some gluteney juice stuff into them." Not true. I've been gluten-free more than 7 years and BB has been gluten-free that whole time. richard

    Relax. Not possible. richard

    NIH says, and celiac experts agree, that if you have DH, you have or will have celiac. I controlled my DH for 20 years with dapsone (I had never heard of celiac), but used 25 mg or less. Still, I ended up in the hospital with SEVERE celiac problems. Don't play around with it. Go gluten-free. richard

    Unless a turkey lists wheat, rye or barley in the ingredients, it's gluten-free. In 7 years I've never seen a turkey that wasn't gluten-free (unless it was stuffed). richard

    I have no way of knowing whether or not the noodles were gluten-free, but it's obvious she doesn't want to try them if they come out dark no matter what the company and the cooks say (note you now have both the company AND the local chef or cook saying it's gluten-free). So why keep ordering the noodles? Try something else. richard

    Because the cereal lists kamut in the ingredients, the company is not required to say "contains: wheat." The kamut is clearly listed. And I don't see where thwe website claims it's gluten-free. Can you point that out? richard

    Oonagh, there is no question whatsoever that wheat MUST be listed in maltodextrin. This was the law even before the allergen law took effect. The conflicting information you saw is, quite simply, wrong. richard

    I'm not telling anybody here to eat every cheese out there, but overall, cheeses are EXTREMELY safe. I've never had a brie with gluten, and from everything I've read, even in blue cheese made with mold started on bread (most are not started that way), any gluten that might carry over (if it does at all) would be unmeasureable. richard

    Call the company that makes the product and ask. But I agree on the fresh mushrooms. Much better. richard

    I for one do not and will not owrry about fruits and vegetables. I see no evidence wheat is being used this way. As for the CSA article, the info came from something that's 11 years old. richard

    I'm not saying that every turkey in the world is gluten-free, but in 7 years, I've never seen one that isn't. Anyway, there's one easy way to tell -- read the ingredients. Under USDA law, any grain of any kind would have to be listed. richard

    "It does seem to me that many of the diagnosed celiacs here agree with the doctors that it's not celiac/it's not vital to be gluten-free until your villi are obviously damaged." That's certainly not my opinion and I was diagnosed by blood and biopsy. And I don't look down on those who aren't diagnosed. Non-diagnosed people who fell gluten is hurting them...

    It's gluten-free. Beyond that can't say. richard

    If there's a grain used in the ham it has to be listed. This includes barley. Dextrose is a safe ingredient. DEXTRIN can be made from wheat, but the wheat would have to be listed. richard
  22. lovegrov
    Dextrin is the only one I would worry about in food, and in the U.S., if it were made from wheat (dextrin is not made from barley or rye), it would have to be listed. richard

    "Cokes contain wheat when the caramel coloring is processed with wheat." Doesn't happen. And if it did they would be REQUIRED by law in the U.S. to list the wheat. Coke is gluten-free. richard

    I was so sick I couldn't walk by myself and didn't have the energy to talk to people. Eleven days in the hospital, 10 weeks off work, and 10 months to really recover. But I recovered and am fine. richard

    You might note that mommyagain hasn't been back to this forum in 11 months. I don' think she'll be seeing your messages. richard
