    ARCHIVED Hardee's

    BTW, if you really want to eat there, you should check on that low-carb Thickburger. IMO it's better than a burger with a bun -- and a whole lot fewer calories, sodium, and fat. Not healthful mind you, but an improvement. Also check on the low-carb breakfast bowl. It reads as if it should be gluten-free. richard richard

    ARCHIVED Taco Bell?

    I wouldn't. Virtually everything there has gluten. richard

    The low-carb Thickburger definitely was gluten-free, but I haven't checked on it or had one a in a while. The fries definitely are NOT gluten-free because there's no dedicated fryer. richard

    I also haven't been on one, but Disney is the one line you definitely wouldn't have to worry about. You will have tons to eat. In fact, I'm sure they'll bring out your specific requests directly to you to cut down on contamination possibilities. Call them. richard

    While I cannot point you to a source for tests of beef, chicken etc, every single expert who's ever been questioned about this has said gluten is NOT in any animal's meat as a result of eating it. This includes everything from celiac experts to veterinarians to grain experts. No celiac organization has grain-fed meat on its list of things to avoid or be careful...

    You're not going to absorb gluten through your skin, but makeup or anything else you apply to your skin or get on your hands could end up in your mouth by accident. Even shampoo can get in your mouth when you're rinsing. richard

    One of the first celiac experts I ever heard, Dr. Cynthia Rudert, said the top two reasons some people who have celiac don't get better is non-compliance with the diet and bacterial overgrowth. richard

    "Natural flavors" is not going away as an ingredient. However, you were most likely glutened by CC. richard

    If you decide to do the genetic testing, remember that a positive doesn't guarantee your child will develop celiac. Many, many people have one of the genes and never have celiac. richard

    Maltodextrin really is not a concern. Not only is it virtually always gluten-free in the U.S., if it IS derived from wheat, it must clearly list it. This was the law for maltodextrin even before the current allergen law. richard

    The only hot dog I've ever found with gluten is Nathan's. I also doubt there would be any hidden gluten in hot dogs. However, to make certain you can contact Smithfield Foods. They've been good in the past richard

    Citric acid is yet another old celiac urban legend foisted on us by who knows who. Citric acid is gluten-free. richard

    Kraft is now owned by one of the companies that lied about tobacco, but back in the days when most of the lying was going on, Kraft was not connected to tobacco. Three points to consider in defense of Kraft: 1) Kraft starfted its gluten policy years ago. It was the first major company to do so and without any pressure from anybody to do it. It was voluntary...

    Deli meats and cheeses in general are very, very easy. Cheese -- even "flavored" ones -- are nearly universally gluten-free (in the U.S.) and when you're talking about something like cheddar, all you have to do is read the ingredients. I'm not saying you don't ever have to call a company, but Kraft will clearly list any gluten and ALL Boar's Head cheeses...

    "You hear about burgers being scooped off the floor and the 15 sec rule..." What in the heck are you talking about??? "However anyone trusting Kraft really want to look into the company... My feeling is you can trust them while its convenient for them to tell the truth..." Can you provide any evidence Kraft has been lying to us about gluten? richard

    IMO, the things you name cannot cause a true celiac reaction. A bunch of loose flour in the air might, but not this. I suspect it's psychological. richard

    Perhaps u should get a DH biopsy but my DH never resembled pimples or acne at all. Completely different. richard

    Soft drinks are generally gluten-free. I can't say every single one out there is, but in general soft drinks are very low on the danger scale. Caramel color simply is not a problem in the U.S. richard

    "Vinegar" is distilled vinegar. The one to watch for is malt vinegar. richard

    I woud think, although I'm no ADA expert, that if the theater offers anything that's gluten-free, the ADA wouldn't apply. I might be wrong, but I don't think the ADA is supposed to guarantee that you have the same selection as everybody else, especially not when we're talking snack or junk food. Of course I don't know your local theater, but at all of...

    All Peeps, most chocolate bunnies, every brand jelly bean I've ever checked (except Brach's, which is almost certainly gluten-free but they won't comment), Cadbury eggs. richard

    "The MDL of gluten on ELISA tests is down in the ppm range (2-20 at best)" FWIW, this would make the fries gluten-free under the standards of most any country that has standards, and gluten-free under the standards that will almost certainly be adopted in the U.S. The GIG certification program tests products just to 10 ppm gluten, although the fries couldn...

    The Gluten Intolerance Group considers the fries gluten-free. From everything I've read, and soley in my own opinion, the chance of getting wheat through CC at a fast food place is MUCH greater than the chance of getting gluten from the flavoring in the oil used to cook the fries before freezing. Anybody who is truly so concerned about getting gluten that...

    I've never heard that. Where do you read it? richard
