Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that there is a support group starting up in Bakersfield and right now we have about 18 people interested in joining. I know three or four of us here are from Bakersfield were interested in starting up a group. If you would like to join this fledgling group please email bakersfieldceliacs@sbcglobal.net. We will put you on the mailing list for the group and hopefully have another meeting soon.

Momof3,

If you e-mail Scott, he can change your username for you--then you can keep your personal statistics, signatures, PMs, etc. :)

Wonderful to hear from you again! I wondered where everyone had gone. Lassens is helping us to set up the support group. We had a meeting there a month ago where my aunt, mom and I all spoke. This time I think it is just my aunt, all in the family. I would love to see you there, I more than likely will be. I'll see what I can do about the email, I don't know why it wouldn't go through.

Hello group, I'm glad we are getting support. I really hope that I can attend Sat. My mom is at UCLA as of this past Saturday. They removed her kidney(cancer). So if i'm not there, keep me up to date!

I notified the board re: my user name. They said theres not much they can do about it???? I checked my firewall and cookies, and to my knowledge it's the same.

I did change from R-Runner to SBC dsl. So for now I'll be debm5 I guess.

Glad to be back!! deb

Hi stargirl,

Are the support groups still meeting at Lassens? I hope so!! It's been a stressful time for me. My mom past away march 6th. I feel I am not being as careful with my diet. A support group would be nice.

Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you Deb. The group is still alive but as of right now doesn't have a meeting planned. I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I'll keep in my prayers.

      Welcome to the forum, @ARSTONE! The ingredients are listed as follows: Chicken, Water, Rice Flour, Tapioca Starch, Tamari Soy Sauce (Water, Soybeans, Salt, Sugar, Corn Starch), Contains 2% or less of: Canola and/or Sunflower Oil, Ginger, Scallions, Brown Sugar, Potato Starch, Rice Wine (Rice, Water, Salt), Chicken Soup Base (Chicken Meat with Natural Juices, Salt, Sugar, Yeast Extract, Chicken Fat, Onion, Potato Flour, Turmeric, Spice Extractives), Konjac Flour, Xanthan Gum, Chicken Powder, Salt, Black Pepper, Sesame Oil, Gelatin I have underlined the ingredients which could contain hidden sources of gluten. Xanthan Gum wouldn't contain gluten but it is a polysaccharide that is a common ingredient in prepackaged gluten free foods and poses digestive difficulties for many people. The same might be said for Konjac flour.  It is also possible that the product exceeds the specs for the FDA criteria of "gluten free" whose upper limit is 20 ppm of gluten. We are seeing this more often lately and many are calling for stricter sampling standards in the gluten free food industry such that testing is done more often.

      I recently ate a package of feel good brand gluten-free chicken soup dumplings. Immediately after eating them, my stomach became extremely extremely bloated and gassy and it's two days later now and I'm still extremely uncomfortable. They say there's gluten-free and there doesn't appear to be anything in the ingredients that I think would be the problem. Has anyone else eaten these and had this experience?

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?
