Sniffle, sob, sniffle...yes, and never again having to be asked by the other kids, "But what's wrong with you? Why do you have to eat that?" :( i needz a hug

(((((hug)))))

I know how difficult it can sometimes be for us adults to eat out or with others, and I can just imagine how hard it is for a child. :( Your little one is lucky to have a mom like you :D

Did anyone mention gluten-free grocery stores...they could be called Normal Foods.

Everything in the store is gluten-free. Free samples on all the aisles so you can try it before buying it.

No WF or TJ in our state...sob

No, there will be Whole Foods (with "normal" prices) and Trader Joes; they will just not be allowed to have any gluten-containing products. We are not into depriving ourselves here, just enhancing our quality of life. There will be dairy-free and soy-free milkshakes, ice cream and chocolate all over the place and they will all be delish! In fact, no non-yum food will be allowed over the border. Bread will be crusty on the outside and soft and/or chewy on the inside and the smells will waft all over Sprueville. Oh, I can't wait.

Oh yes! Those brick like, rock-hard rice loaves will be confiscated and destroyed at the border by the GFDA by a special haz mat team!

Could we have one day a year that we put laxatives and sleeping pills into the desserts of unsuspecting criminals who attempt to break the gluten free laws. Maybe negligent manufacturers/ chefs/ and in-laws could be on that list.

Hmmm. That makes me sound a little crazy. Hmmm. I'll share the devious side of my brain anyway.

About the whole Scott tissue thing- yeah, no. Charmin ultra-Strong will be the City's official TP. No sinlge-ply TP will be available for sale in our stores. (Sorry, Scott.)

Or perhaps we can have huge tp emporioms-- big as Sam's Club-- where tp connoisseurs can go to find their favorites. We can even have imported brands and specialty brands (featuring little pictures for kids or frames of comics for entertainment purposes.) You can even get colors to coordinate with your bathroom walls! Imagine aisle after aisle of tp!

Do you mean instead of those colored plastic balls that kids like to jump in we could have an olympic sized pool filled with colored rolls of tp for adults to play in? <G>

      That is strange.  Other pages talk about testing. The one thing I like about GFCO is that the handbook for their certification process is available on their website.  I may not agree with the whole process, especially the reduced testing, but at least I can see what the process is. I wish the other certifying organizations would publish their processes. GFCO 2024 manual

      GFCO does not require testing of each lot, so the “periodic laboratory analyses” fits their requirements. They say testing is done by certified bodies.  I’m not sure what that means for an Italian company. The GFCO requirement is less than 10 ppm.  Other gluten-free certifying companies may use other limits.

      Thanks for the info on Nuts.com! Looks like they are certified by GFFP which has a 5ppm limit, which is awesome. I was looking on the GFFP website ( https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/ ) as I was curious about what their certification requirements are, and stumbled on an odd statement. On a page where they're explaining the benefits of getting a certification through them, it says "No mandatory gluten testing requirements." Ummm, what?! I've included screenshots and a link below to where that information is. I've also emailed GFFP to try and get additional info on what that statement actually means, and what requirements (testing, audits, ingredient tracing) if any manufacturers have to go through to obtain/retain a certification through them. They're endorsed by The National Celiac Association so you'd sure think that GFFP would be requiring 3rd party testing for their certification, but at this point not much would surprise me with these gluten-free certifying companies. https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/

      I second Nuts.com. Theirs seems to be good. My daughter can have their certified items without any problem. I don't even know how to process this!!
    • Jsingh
      I have written to them about sharing details of the lab that does testing for them. That way I can at least know the contamination threshold the lab tests for. For I had written to GFCO in regards to another brand that GFCO told me they do not have the info on the testing threshold for contamination on individual brands. They let the companies set that for themselves. Anyway, I am going to try La Tourangelle and see if that works.
