    Maltodextrin can have wheat in the UI.S., but if so it absolutely must be listed in food and drink. Never seen dextrose or tomato juice with gluten. richard

    Somebody once upon a time alleged that canola was a problem for people with celiac but there's never been any proof whatsoever. I'm sure there are people who have problems with canola, just like there are people who have problems with almost anything, but it's not celiac related. richard

    Carl Buddig meats are gluten-free. richard

    I suspect that like Applebee's they're pretty gluten-free unfriendly, but you should just call the national headquarters and ask. richard

    Barley and rye would not be a problem in ketchup. Wheat would be the only concern. richard

    First, neither one should go gluten-free if you plan more tests. Goign gluten-free can mess them up. In addition, the gene test can show whether they have the genes, but that doesn't prove they have celiac. Only a small percentage of folks with the gene(s) have celiac. The intestinal biopsy really is not all that big of a deal and she won't remember anything...

    Hunts always put out a CYA but it was always understood that's what it was. Lisa is right, it would list wheat now if it had it. richard

    "So if they used grain vinegar then it wouldn't be gluten-free." Um, grain vinegar is almost always made from corn, rarely from wheat. And it would be distilled no matter what it's made from.

    I checked out the link and it also says to avoid buckwheat. We've known for many, many years now that buckwheat is perfectly safe as long as wheat flour isn't added. Canola is perfectly safe. Sprays are perfectly safe except a "baker's" one that very clearly lists wheat. "Dusting" a line with wheat flour would now require that it be listed, but honestly I...

    Sounds like all should be gluten-free. While most chicken has some "flavoring" added or "injected," it has to list gluten if it's there. richard

    There are many lists and some are old. It could be that in the past items like citric acid and mono and diglycerides were indeed sometimes made from wheat, but those two items are no longer considered a threat. As already explained, there are a number of things that are not actually "forbidden" but instead should just be checked. These items are actually...

    Remarks have never really bothered me, even the really dumb ones. Your bodd might genuinely be concerned about you, or he might just be worried that you'll miss work if you're cheating. richard

    While untreated celiac does increase your chance of certain types of cancer, it's not inevitable or even a huge chance. The main threats come from other complications, such as nerve or heart damage, malnutrition, anemia, osteo, brain problems, and developing other autoimmune conditions, just to name a few. Some of these complications can also kill you; others...

    All Boars Head meats and cheeses are gluten-free. They used to have two meats that had wheat, but no longer. From their website: All Boar's Head Brand

    The recipe given is how you make "real" mayo yourself. I use Hellman's, which I consider real mayo (as compared to Miracle Whip), but even Hellman's has ingredients one wouldn't use in a fresh, homemade mayo. And they do taste different. richard

    ALL Hillshire Farm sandwich meats are gluten-free. In addition, it's my understanding that it doesn't matter how many labels you run, it's whether the product was packaged and labeled before Jan. 1, 2006, which sandwich meat would be, of course. AND, even if I'm wrong about the labels, I simply cannot imagine Hillshire Farm printed and then stored 16 months...

    Sorbitol also causes this type of reaction in some people, especially the D. richard

    It's hard to imagine the alcohol used to extract flavor is the culprit here. First, the alcohol might not even be wheat. Second, it's distilled. Third, the amount is so miniscule it's not even measureable. richard

    I would doubt it. richard

    I hope to be there Friday but must be back in Roanoke Saturday for the 2nd annual Run With Grace 5K. richard

    I was unusually tired and my joints ached horribly for months and months. You don't get all better in a couple of weeks. richard

    Despite the dire sounding warnings about dapsone, severe reactions of any kind -- tingling, low white cell count, liver changes -- are very rare and easily monitored by blood tests. And they reverse themselves when you stop. Personally, I'd be more concerned about being covered with DH on my wedding day than I would be about dapsone reactions. And if you...

    I would guess, although can't say for sure, that the Delphi list is getting shorter in part because the labeling law is making it unnecessary to list some things. richard

    You absolutely MUST assume malt flavoring is barley based because it almost always is. However, you can check, because in very rare occasions it's based on another grain. For instance, the gluten-free beers are generally based on malted sorghum. And I've seen a product or two based on malted corn. VERY rare, but it does happen. Any grain can be malted. ...
  25. lovegrov
    It's even simpler. In the U.S. any grain added to a meat must be listed. They cannot be hhidden. Some hams do have commercial glaze with wheat, so read the label. richard
