    More information about "FDA warns Amazon's Whole Foods Market for Failing to Label Known Allergens"
    Celiac.com 12/24/2020 - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says it has warned Amazon.com’s Whole Foods Market for failing to label some food products for known food allergens. As a result, Whole Foods has recalled over 30 food p...

    I think that like anything, some people might abuse these and use them to eat gluten. However, if you maintain your strict gluten-free diet, and then add these to it, especially whenever you eat outside your home, I believe that this approach will improve the health of most celiacs. As the article I posted mentions, there also seems to be no issues with taking...

    So we can't do broad research for you on each product, sorry. I recommend that you visit each company's web site and find the product you are wondering about, then look at the label and/or ingredients. If you can provide the names of the products share them here. Also, most Burt's Bees products are gluten-free, but you need to check the labels.

    I agree that AN-PEP or any other enzyme product (there are other companies that make similar products), should never replace a vigilant 100% gluten-free diet, or lead anyone who use them to lower their guard or deliberately eat gluten. That said, I believe it could help many who have ongoing issues with contamination, and those who will cheat (up to 25% of...

    More information about "Gluten-Free Rainbow Stuffed Bell Pepper Soup"
    Celiac.com 12/23/2020 - No, this soup is not actually stuffed with rainbows, but if you love the taste of stuffed bell peppers, then you'll love this splashy bell pepper soup that uses the colors of fall to deliver great gluten-free soup...

    It's probably safe to say "yes!" to that, since they posted here. 😉

    Wow, that is a lot of ingredients. Just at a glance I don't believe that any of them would contain gluten, but to be 100% sure you would want to contact the company directly. https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/cucumber-avocado-body-butter

    There is a link at the top of their site that takes you to their sugar and gluten-free items: https://www.swisscolony.com/c/sugarfree-glutenfree/

    This would be a new symptom which I've not heard of before, so I doubt it. I agree with @knitty kitty that it could be anxiety-related.

    The genetic tests can be done inexpensively via many private online companies, including 23andMe.

    Very interesting, and I'm not sure how I missed it. We'll do a summary of this one!

    To me it looks like he has gluten sensitivity/intolerance, rather than celiac disease. If so, a gluten-free diet would still be recommended to avoid symptoms and it possibly leading to full-blown celiac disease at some point down the road. Have you had genetic screening done for the celiac disease genetic markers? You may want to consider this before ruling...

    Wow, thanks for posting this, which looks article-worthy! We'll do a summary on this one for sure.

    I think it's time to find a new doctor. Celiacs have been mistreated this way for the entire time I've operated this site, and this board is filled with stories similar to yours. Regarding the cross-contamination you experienced, given that you are so sensitive you may be interested in a post I just made on this thread:

    So my daughter, mother and myself have been using it for a couple of years now with no side effects whatsoever. Full disclosure they are a site sponsor here. You can read this true story of an incident with my mom, who is also gluten-free, at a past Thanksgiving dinner at my house: I disagree that it is just a "stopgap," and personally believe that...

    I think so, and the only other one that is close is Schar pasta. I think both Barilla and Schar are among the few gluten-free pastas out there that are indistinguishable from regular wheat pastas that most people are used to. Barilla is easier to find, and is at Safeway, Target, Walmart, etc.

    For most of my youth I had chronically clogged sinuses, the issue seemed to be magnified when I slept, and for years I was taking both pollen and food allergy shots to help deal with it. However, it wasn't until I was diagnosed with celiac disease in my mid-twenties and went gluten-free that my sinus issues began to improve. I suspect that my immune system...

    Hives and welts are typically associated with allergies or things like contact with poison ivy or poison oak. If yours look like tiny blisters with clear heads, and are very itchy, they could also be dermatitis herpetiformis, and if so, a gluten-free diet would be the way to go. Of course the best approach for you would be to see a dermatologist or your doctor...

    More information about "Are Swedish Fish Gluten-Free?"
    Celiac.com 12/22/2020 - We get countless questions about celiac disease and candy. Believe it or not, one question we get a lot is about Swedish Fish. Specifically, are Swedish Fish gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease?...

    If she's strict about her diet, then it is still possible that some of the processed foods that she might be eating, even if labelled "gluten-free," could be contaminated, but the more likely culprit would be eating out. Do you eat food from restaurants, or prepared by friends or relatives?
  23. Scott Adams
    Understood, I could not find that product online. Can you post its ingredients here, or a link to the product?

    You did not mention how old your daughter is, but I, as the admin and owner of this board, was horrified to learn (and ashamed to admit) that my teenage daughter was regularly cheating on her gluten-free diet. It was mostly due to peer pressure when she was with friends, or her soccer team. Since I could not control this the most I could do was get her to...

    The only issue with distilled water is that it also removes all minerals. Throughout Asia, and in our home, they use these, which simply boil the water, keep it hot, and you can dispense it whenever you like. the only issue is the need to refill it regularly (we use a Britta pitcher that filters it beforehand), and you need to clean it thoroughly once in...
