Celiac.com 01/11/2018 - Gluten-free, food allergies and celiac disease have reached the media in the form of jokes and ridicule. This is a serious development because the media influences viewer's day-today reactions to various social situations. In many ways, TV becomes a role model for social interactions. DeVault (1991) says that "an enormous body of science, literature and even humor tells us how a middle-class man and woman might 'do' family life" (p. 16). This is the fundamental reason why the media jabs about gluten-free and food allergies are so impactful. What we see on TV, we emulate in life. If 'doing gluten free' is something to be ridiculed, as with the examples below, then those of us with food allergies need to unite our voices to be heard in public forums to change this practice...
Celiac.com 02/01/2019 - When I was first diagnosed, I couldn’t believe the “rhetoric” about how sensitive a person with celiac disease is. It just didn’t resonate. I remember being told at a support group by a woman I deemed at the time to be histrionic, that a plastic strainer previously used to drain gluten-containing pasta could cross contaminate me, and that microscopic crumbs on the counter could be deadly. It just seemed to me at the time that she was “over reacting.” I thought: “Nobody could be that sensitive!” Back then I continued to bake gluten-containing goods for my husband. (That was torture by the way, to make my favorite brownies for him and not eat any of the batter.)
I made him gluten-containing bread in my bread machine. I continued to have the terrible rashes. Noticin...

My husband gave me an “adventure island hopping tour” to Greece for a graduation present that included two dedicated guides, all meals, and one or two adventures a day with a group of thirteen other people we had not previously met. To prepare, we increased our workouts and added regular six mile walks. We were very excited to see Greece in this way! The tour company sent me a form to fill out asking me to disclose food allergies. Prior to filling it out, I investigated the foods in Greece to see what they ate, how foods were prepared and to get an idea of what I thought might be safe for me to consume. I also watched videos on how foods are prepared and saw that a frequent practice is to grill meats and then grill bread on the same grill (without cleaning in between). That was worrisome. Ra...

Celiac.com 03/05/2021 - In 2003, I was on a business trip in New Hampshire when my skin blossomed into an itchy, burning rash. During the daylong meeting, I felt it spreading under my clothes. I delivered a presentation to 20 people, while wondering what was happening to me. After the presentation, I went to the bathroom and open my blouse. One look at my reflection in the mirror, and I fainted.
At the emergency room, I was confronted with seven different doctors, one at a time, who ask me if I have taken illicit or pharmaceutical drugs, or been exposed to fertilizer or dioxin. They told me that I was having a systemic chemical reaction. They prescribed steroids and antihistamines. They said the rash exposes my body to bacteria and instructed me to buy a thick sweat suit to wear on...

Safe and Forbidden lists
As far as I know, miso paste is gluten-free and should be added to the Safe List. And, shouldn't soy sauce be on the Forbidden list? -

Test says no, but body says Yes?
@PlanetJanet, Sorry to hear about your back pain. I have three crushed vertebrae myself. I found that a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamin and Pyridoxine (all water soluble B vitamins) work effectively for my back pain. This combination really works without the side effects of prescription and over-the-counter pain meds. I hope you will give them... -

Canned tomato sauce, ricotta?
Here is the info from their website. If you don't trust them, you may find products that are labelled "gluten-free," but I don't see any reason to believe there is any gluten in them.
