    Soy is OK. Soy sauce is a problem because many are also made with wheat. It has nothing at all to do with the soy. richard

    "Why would corn chips not be safe? The ingredients are corn, oil, and salt, and they are not processed on lines that process wheat ingredients. Plus, nowheatnomilk said that (s)he has had them before without a problem. Why would you suspect corn chips before the turkey?" Unless they're made on dedicated lines, items like chips etc. are generally much susceptible...

    Have your oldest one tested. The youngest is too young for testing and the rash doesn't particularly sound like DH or celiac related. Anybody who has been diagnosed with celiac should urge every first-degree relative to be tested. richard

    Never found a food coloring with gluten. richard

    "It said that 3to1 (3.1) of the people with celiac will get NHL(non hogens lymphoma. That was scary for us. Also I went through not eating what others ate wen I was little and I am sadden that is going to be the case with atleast 1 of our children." I'm not sure where you found this but it absolutely is not true. Our chances of NHL increase, but overall...

    Remember that there is also a gram flour (ground chickpeas, also known as besam flour) that is gluten-free. I love it for fried chicklen and onion rings. richard

    If you had celiac as a child you have celiac now. If you can't afford the tests, just go gluten-free. richard

    An allergist wouldn't be any help. Also, the general consensus is that a 1-year-old is too young for an accurate test, so you probably have to wait until she's at least 2. All of your first-degree realtives should be tested. richard

    In Virginia in the U.S. ALL schools I've encountered have hot lunches. They also have refrigerators and microwaves (in the cafeteria, not the classrooms). richard

    I would check them out, but from this list and everything else I've ever read, you should be safe. richard

    A positive biopsy is pretty convincing. From everything I've read, you shouldn't doubt it. richard

    Bloodwork for celiac is very rarely false positive. And while some symptoms are more prevalent than others (fatigue, not diarrhea, is the most common), you almost certainly have it based just on the bloodwork. richard

    I think you would need to call them. richard

    I'm certainly no expert on the baby end of things, but I know that cabbage can cause gas. Colic also sounds like a possibility. And do you have celiac? richard

    The USDA told me when I called them that the "flavoring" or "broth" also would have to list any grain. I was told to simply read the ingredients. I have also called numerous companies and gotten numerous lists over the years (Perdue, Tyson, Silver Platter, Butterball, etc) and have never found a plain raw meat -- "flavoring" (when I say flavoring I'm not...

    Bette had a pretty severe stroke a while back and don't think she ever competely recovered from that. Don't know the actual cause of death but she was in her 80s. richard

    Folks, folks, folks, Angie is right. If anything in raw meats, glazed flash frozen or not, comes from any kind of grain it MUST by USDA law be listed. Even if it's a malt made from grain (although I've never actually heard of malt in any of these). Every single plain poultry, fish, pork, and beef I've ever checked out has been gluten-free. Just read the ingredients...

    The OJ is almost certainly safe. richard

    Hellman's is gluten-free. So is Best, Kroger, Miracle Whip (not actually mayo) and every other mayo I've ever seen. I don't know of any mayo that isn't gluten-free. "Vinegar" is distilled vinegar (from corn I believe) and is gluten-free in all cases in the U.S. richard

    Dephiforums has an active group. richard

    Any grain can be malted. Malt is almost always made from barley so you have to assume it is. But if it's made from rice or corn or sorghum (as in gluten-free beer) etc., it's gluten-free. richard

    K is a drier, less sweet cider.

    We also have a 15-year-old solid black cat and a gray tiger that is about 11. The two older ones are indoor-outdoor but we've decided the Maine coon will be indoors. Of course he dashes for the door every chance he gets but then doesn't really go anywhere. All of our cats are rescues -- two from the SPCA and one from a stray that crawled into a neighbor's...

    Yes, ours chirps and meows a lot. When he's awake he wants constant attention and petting, but true to the breed, he isn't a lap cat. He's about 10 months old and already weighs 12 pounds. I understand they don't reach full size until age 4 or 5. I had read in a book about the fetching thing and tried it out. He isn't always in the mood, but when he is...

    Salsa is almost always gluten-free, but the chips might be fried in a non-dedicated fryer. richard
