I have found much wonderful information on this board on what to avoid and some great cosmetic and cleaning suggestions. But is there a shopping guide/list that I can buy or a good on - line link to one? I have Clan Thompsons. I know the lists are not be all, end all, but they do provide a good basis in concert with me reading lables, especially when you are on the go.

I don't know if you all have this, here are two responses I have received from manufacturers (which I didn't already see on the boards, but apologize if they are duplicate): (though I would share some, since I'm asking to be shared with)

From Sugarfoods regarding 'Njoy Coffee Creamer:

Good morning Christina,

Thank you for your inquiry regarding Non-Dairy Creamer. Gluten is not an ingredient, but it may contain low-level amounts due to cross-contamination. Therefore, we cannot certify that Non-Dairy Creamer is gluten free.

Please do not hesitate to contact this office if additional information is required.

Thank you.

From Mariani (dried fruit) - but I must also ask them where their citric acid comes from since I have just learned that it can be gluten containing-be cautious with this I have had no problem, but I want you all to be safe, here is their statement anyway:

Dear Chris,

Thanks for your inquiry on our products. All of our products are gluten free. The grain source for the starch we use is rice. Our products are not allergen free, so if you have a peanut allergy I would recommend that you do not eat our products.We hope this information has been helpful, but if you have any other questions please get in touch with me.

Thank You,

There is a huge confirmed products list on delphi forums:

Open Original Shared Link

Just scroll down to the confirmed products list and there are sections on just about everything you would want! You can download this and save as a word file (I think you have to unzip).

Hope this helps. I find the delphi forum to be very informational.

MAC cosmetics are all gluten-free. They are available at MAC stores in malls throughout the USA and Canada. If you are a perfomer, make-up artist, etc, you get a 30% discount on products there.

Wet n Wild are gluten-free, also (and much cheaper than MAC). They are easy to find in any drugstore.

best wishes,

kat

      Celebrity Luncheon Loaf Gluten Free

      By robingfellow · Posted

      The Celebrity brand Luncheon Loaf (found at dollar tree, distributed by Atalanta Corporation) is gluten free according to the distributor. I emailed their customer service line for information on the ingredients, and they contacted the vendor and followed up with me that the "starch" ingredient I was worried about is corn and potato. It should be safe.

      I think a UTI caused by Aspirin, made me a Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @jimmydee! Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder, meaning the consumption of gluten triggers a response by the immune system that causes the body to attack it's own tissue. Celiac disease has a genetic base that requires some kind of trigger for the genes to be turned on. We know that there are two primary genes responsible for providing the potential to develop celiac disease and we know that about 40% of the population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the population actually develops celiac disease. So, that tells us that something more than just having the genes is necessary in order to develop celiac disease. Something must trigger those genes to wake up and produce the active disease. It's that "something" that we are struggling to understand and that is somewhat of a mystery. But there is a growing body of evidence pointing to the culprit being a disruption of the proper balance of microorganisms in the gut. Apparently, the microorganisms that live in our intestines produce chemicals that regulate the size of the openings in the mucous lining of our small bowel. A disruption in the healthy balance of this microorganic community causes an increase in the size of the openings in the mucous lining. This in turn allows protein fragments from the food we eat that are larger than normal to invade the mucous lining where they are detected as threats by the immune system. This is what is happening with gluten for those with celiac disease. The attack in the mucous lining of the small bowel by the immune system on these incompletely broken down gluten components causes inflammation and, over time, as we continue to consume gluten, it damages the mucosal lining of the small bowel which results in the loss of efficiency of nutrient absorption. This mucosal lining is made up of millions of tiny finger like projections that create an enormous surface area for the absorption of nutrients when healthy. The "wearing down" of these millions of finger-like projections due to celiac inflammation greatly reduces the surface area and thus the ability to absorb nutrients. This in turn typically results in numerous health issues that have a nutrient deficiency base. But the answer to the question of why there seems to be an epidemic of celiac disease in recent years may not be simple. It may have many facets. First, we don't know how much of this epidemic is real and how much is apparent. That is, how much of what we perceive of as a dramatic increase in the incidence of celiac disease is simply due to greater awareness and better detection methods? Celiac disease is not new. There is evidence from ancient writings that people suffered from it back then but they did not have a name for it. And it wasn't until WW2 that gluten was identified as the cause of celiac disease. Current thinking on what is causing imbalance in gut biology has put forth a number of causes including overuse of antibiotics and pesticides, environmental toxins, fluoridation of drinking water, preoccupation with hygiene and sanitation, and the western diet. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/theories-on-the-growing-prevalence-of-celiac-disease-and-gluten-sensitivity-over-the-last-half-century-video-r6716/?tab=comments#comment-25345 All this to say that I doubt your UTI or the low dose aspirin had anything to do with the onset of your celiac disease. It was probably just coincidence unless the UTI was the stress trigger that activated the celiac potential genes. The onset of celiac disease an happen at any stage of life and many people report it following a period of illness. But what is interesting about your low dose aspirin theory is that aspirin is in a class of medications known as NSAIDs (Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs). Scientific studies have shown that long term use of NSAIDs can damage the villous lining of the small bowel in the same way as celiac disease.  The other thing I wish to point out is that unless you have actual testing done for celiac disease, you can't be sure if you have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS doesn't damage the lining of the small bowel. There is no test for NCGS, celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease. The antidote for both is a gluten free diet.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      By julie falco · Posted

      BRAND NAME: NOT BURGER PLANT-BASED PATTIES  A product I came across labeled gluten-free bought it when I got home I read the back ingredients further to notice that it says gluten with a line going through it u will see in the attached pics.     The label says down below that it is processed in a facility that also processes "WHEAT".  I tried to put this on the Gov. website as false advertisement but couldn't do it.  Maybe on here at least the word can get out to others not to purchase anything gluten-free without throughly reading the whole label....It won't let me upload 2 pics.  says to contact manager.   The products name is Not Burger    INGREDIENTS: Water, Pea Protein, Coconut Oil, Sunflower Oil, Natural Flavors, Bamboo Fiber, Less than 2% of: Methylcellulose, Dried Yeast, Rice Protein, Salt, Cocoa Powder Processed with Alkali, Psyllium Husk, Potato Fiber, Red Beet Juice Powder (color), Chia Protein Concentrate, Spinach Powder.   Manufactured in a facility that also processes wheat and soy.          MANUFACTURED FOR: The NotCompany, Inc, 438    Treat Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94110.
