Totally random things, but I need to know before this weekend. Thanks in advance!

HVR lists "modified food starch" on their bottled dressing and packets...is it okay? I emailed the company but would like to know ASAP.

And I'm going to make a gluten-free cake this weekend. The recipe calls for "gluten free vanilla"...is this different than vanilla extract? My McCormick's vanilla extract appears to be okay. Is it?

Vanilla extract is on the celiac.com list of safe food ingredients. In the past, there was a question about its gluten content, but now it is generally accepted that it is gluten free.

Here is info from the Open Original Shared Link:

Do Hidden Valley

Hidden Valley is gluten free (as we recently found out) and McCormicks vanilla is also gluten free. Gluten free vanilla would be the extract, otherwise it would be a vanilla bean which would be naturally gluten free. Stick with McCormicks. :D

Yahoo! Thank you guys soooooo much!

There is this local restaurant that makes AWESOME pasta salad and we have it at all our family functions (my son's baptism is this weekend) and I was wanting them to put some sauce to the side and I'd make my own gluten-free pasta noodles. They use HVR packets in the sauce though so I wasn't sure?? Thanks soooo much!

A word of caution...if the restaurant mixes up the dry HVR dressing, please make sure that they use a fresh jar of mayo or anything else that is added to the dry dressing. Clean utensile would be good as well. That would prevent possible cross contamination in the kitchen.

Have a wonderful baptism and celebration.

BEWARE::::

I was the one who emailed HVR.....some of there packet mixes do contain wheat.....but they will clearly list any form of gluten....so call ahead and make sure it's ok!!!!!!!

I switched to powdered vanilla. I know it's gluten free and it's a lot easier to clean up if it spills.

AllMcCormick extracts are gluten free. I have spoken to the company myself

      Chili's Gluten-Free Dining Experience – What’s Your Take?

      You had the wrong link to the menu, so I fixed that for you 😉. Trying to eat gluten-free at Chili's is risky due to cross-contamination, even if you go with items marked gluten-free on their menu. Every person with celiac disease has a different level of sensitivity, and you've not mentioned anything about your situation in that regard. Whenever I ea...

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      She has had problems with constipation, they actually prescribed miralax for her but I have changed some other things about her diet that seemed to have helped, so I never gave it to her..but she still doesn’t always go daily

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      @Nicbent35, are there any other symptoms besides altered mood when your daughter gets "glutened"? Behavior like that in children often belies physical discomfort of some kind. Does she complain of stomach aches? Is she constipated?

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      Well I had a moment yesterday morning where I accidentally gave her gluten. She wanted what I was eating and I forgot and let her have a few bites of toast. It was a really bad night last night with her behavior. Will a few bites of bread influence their behavior that much or could it just be a coincidence?

Every person with celiac disease has a different level of sensitivity, and you've not mentioned anything about your situation in that regard. Whenever I eat out I take GliadinX (a sponsor here), but of course, the best option would be to avoid eating out.

      Chili's Gluten-Free Dining Experience – What’s Your Take?

      By Den Copper · Posted

      Hi everyone, I'm exploring gluten-free options at various restaurants and recently came across some chatter about Chili's offering gluten-free dishes. I'm curious if anyone has tried their gluten-free options or has any insights into how safe and tasty they are. Questions to Discuss: Which dishes at Chili's are truly gluten-free? Have you experienced any issues with cross-contamination? Do you have any tips or recommendations when ordering from Chili's menu? How does the taste and portion size compare to other gluten-free restaurants? Looking forward to hearing your experiences and any advice you might have! Thanks,
