    Lay's makes a few items on dedicated lines, including Stax. Those items are much less likely to have a problem with CC, and I've heard very few complaints about Stax. richard

    All of the Stax flavors are gluten-free, even the pizza. richard

    If it's really bad I'd talk to my doctor about using dapsone for a while. richard

    At least in the U.S. all Outbacks are the same -- mustard vinaigrette and blue cheese are not gluten-free. The cheese itself is gluten-free, but some flavoring in the dressing either isn't or might not be. richard

    You should be just fine, particularly after you've healed. richard

    I made something for my son last night that involved real wheat flour. I didn't breathe any in that I know of and my skin is perfectly fine (I used to have DH). I didn't even wear gloves. richard

    Many bleu cheeses are started on an artificial culture now. As for the ones started on bread, some do indeed question whether any gluten would transfer. Second, the amount of culture is so tiny compared to the final result, even if the entire culture were gluten (which it wouldn't be), the gluten level still couldn't be measured. I'm not saying that anybody...

    Food poisoning or virus. richard

    Microwave popcorn isn't going to have barley or rye in it, so if it doesn't list wheat, it's gluten-free. Every microwave popcorn I'm aware of is gluten-free, including Act II. richard

    From everything I remember reading (I can't search for links right now) a child cannot be born with celiac because even if the mother has been eating gluten, the child still has not been able to develop the antibodies. It's my understanding that it's simply not physically possible that young. richard

    No kind of wheat is safe for a person with celiac. There are some lower gluten wheats and some people who are allergic to wheat can handle those, but people with celiac should not eat it. You also should not eat oats unless you're buying one of the brands that is grown specifically to be free of wheat cross contamination. Most regular oats are contaminated...

    As far as I know, there's no law requiring a restaurant to tell you ingredients, it's just good business. The new allergen law does not cover restaurants. richard

    CSA seems to have been the one to start this annatto thing. It is not and never was as problem as far as gluten. richard

    Companies are not required to say whether a product is produced in a facility or on a line shared with wheat products. So unless you are checking every single product, you're likely eating such products without knowing it. richard

    What you're describing sounds more like psoriasis to me, so you might ask about that as well. richard

    Just my opinion, but I don't think I'd put much stock in the muscle response testing, especially not on a 6-month-old. richard

    I'm not an expert in this area but some who ARE experts believe that gluten sensitivity or intolerance is just an early stage of celiac. However, I don't think anyone has absolute proof that everybody who is gluten sensitive goes on to celiac. richard

    Everything I've ever read says the molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin. And if it could be absorbed, how would it make its way to your intestines? I've touched gluten numerous times and never had a reaction. In addition, the packing tape in unlikely to have gluten. However, all kinds of tape, including surgical tape, can cause DH-like...

    Every time I've read of somebody checking the self-adhesive stickers they have been gluten-free. This is just not the type of adhesive that would have gluten. Same with band-aids, although MANY people get rashes or reactions. richard

    Definitely NOT a problem. Even if the same machine were to pick them (which is highly doubtful), you just wash it, which you're supposed to do anyway. richard

    All I can reply with is that of all the celiacs I know who drink wine, none have ever suspected being glutened by it. richard

    I don't know that brand of cheese but have never found a mozzarella that has gluten. Their statement is the standard CYA. I'd eat the cheese without hesitation. richard

    In 5 years I've never found a tomato paste that does have gluten. This is just my experience. I do not claim to have contacted every tomato pasted manufacturer out there. richard
