    Kraft hasn't had a U.S. gluten-free list in many, many years. "Additionally, how do I know that their ingredients lists are treated the same in Canada vs. the US?" If Kraft CA is telling you they will clearly list any gluten, it sounds like they're treating it the same way as in the U.S. In the U.S. they're required to list just wheat, but they'll list...

    I'm sure there wasn't any way to check them while you were there, but those turkey legs and sausages were very likely gluten-free. richard

    Don't know about the olive oil, but Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea and Star Kist are all gluten-free. The only tuna I've ever seen with gluten was a flavored one. richard

    I have no definitive research to show you, but in 5 yerars I can't remember finding an artificial flavor with gluten. In fact, I've almost never found a natural flavor with gluten. richard

    "However, we cannot guarantee that the ingredients used are not exposed to any glutens." Folks this is your standard CYA. And think about it for a minute, what mainstream company can you name that actually GUARANTEES something is gluten-free? They can't unless they control every single step of the process for every single ingredient. Even then something...

    I can't remember which it is, but the tuna that clearly lists wheat is a flavored tuna (something like teriyaki), not the plain stuff. Vegetable broth might have soy in it, I don't know, but it does NOT have soy sauce. richard

    Kahlua is definitely gluten-free. richard

    Herb Ox is gluten-free and so is red wine vinegar. Some folks have vinegar problems separate from gluten. richard

    Don't know if this will help you, but all celiac experts and the NIH conference on celiac say that ALL first-degree relatives need to be tested. All of mine were, and my 70-year-old father with no symptoms was EXTREMELY positive. richard

    gluten-free. Never found a dye that isn't gluten-free. Some might have an allergic reaction but not a gluten one. richard

    "I just threw out some gels that were sitting on my counter that were causing me to react every time I sat at the computer outside my bathroom door. There are glutens and wheat in everything. I'm so sensitive to even soy and chemicals that I am now using Cetaphil Gentle Hand Cleaner as shampoo...best I can find so far for being so sensitive. Even baby bath...

    As with everything related to celiac, it depends on the person. My DH never came back even though I went off dapsone right after going gluten-free (this is very unusual, apparently). Others report problems months and months later even when strictly gluten-free. richard

    Shelf life of fish depends entirely on how quickly it's chilled and how cold it stays. Fish that's been in a store four days CAN still be fresh enough to eat, although you certainly wouldn't do sushi with it. When I buy "fresh" fish, I either eat it that day or freeze it immediately. richard

    Generally speaking Utz seems to be one of the better choices based on comments from people with celiac disease who eat them. richard

    Full panel where I live in the U.S. (western Virginia) is something like $250 if you pay out of pocket. I have work insurance so I paid very little. Yours sounds like a bargain. richard

    One more thought on bleu cheese. Many folks, including those who make cheese, very seriously doubt that "gluten" would even transfer in a culture grown on bread. And if it does transfer, the percentage of gluten in the culture would be miniscule and the amount of culture used is so tiny that the resulting gluten in the cheese would be so minor as to not be...

    Many people who go gluten-free and start healing become ravenously hungry. Your body is craving the calories and nutrients it hasn't been getting. richard

    I wouldn't worry about gluten wafting through the air, but the dog could still be getting on you through its mouth. Do you ground the corn yourself or is it ground in a mill where XC can happen? richard

    "Many perfumes also use grain derived alcohols in their processing. These can also cause problems for celiacs." "Grain derived" isn't usually wheat and is distilled anyway. Don't know why this would cause problems for people with celiac. Mind you, I'm not saying perfume isn't a problem for some, but I doubt it's a gluten thing. Not a direct reply to...

    Bonefish and Carraba's at least already have gluten-free menus. Just go to the websites. richard

    Is that your dog in the photo? If so, does the dog food have gluten? I don't see any iodine in what you eat but iodine can aggravate DH until it's completely gone. Corn tortillas or the flour they're made with might be a problem. richard

    ARCHIVED Dapsone

    Given your rise in liver enzymes and all the other things you have going on, the only real advice we can give you is to be completely gluten-free. richard

    That sounds nothing at all like DH. That sounds like a potentially serious allergic reaction. You need to get it checked out. richard
  24. lovegrov
    Please provide a source for your info. The gluten-free menu is still online. richard

    All those canned tunas with "broth" are gluten-free. The vegetable broth is from just what it says -- vegetables. In fact, if you go to the website for BB, Star Kist, Chicken of the Sea, and other major brands they will tell you they are gluten-free. In fact, it's always a good idea to check websites. The only tuna I've ever found with gluten is one or two...
