ARCHIVED Need Help Finding A Protein Bar
jrc121 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I need a protein bar that is free of gluten, soy, corn, dairy, and sugar. Taste is not a concern here. Basically, I just want the protein and calories. Know of anything like this? -
ARCHIVED Pork Chops...probably Nothing But ?!?!?
jrc121 replied to NorthernElf's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Probably it was the pork itself. I gave it up several weeks ago after reading about the stuff. I have more energy and feel better. Ate the stuff for years and never thought anything of it. If I ate some today, after being away from it for so long, I'd probably get sicker than hell. Want to know what you're really eating? It's pig crap. Pigs eat anything and... -
ARCHIVED Wheatgrass
jrc121 replied to caboheidi's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I've been taking it daily in a vitamin supplement called Daily Complete. Doesn't seem to bother me. When I called the manufacturer I was told it should be fine. -
Hmmm. It's quite possible. Since you're new to the game you need to prepare yourself to expect being glutened a few times, unless you get really lucky and avoid all cross contamination possibilities and hidden glutens. I would probably avoid what you ate at least for a while just to be safe, unless you're 100% sure of no gluten (say if you ate fruit or something...

ARCHIVED Lay's Kettle Chips (mesquite Bbq) And St. Ives Apricot Scrub
jrc121 replied to mhalpin12's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Kettle chips have always made me sick, and others as well. Don't eat them. Consider that you may also have allergies to soy or corn, or even both. -
Nerves and insomnia for days on end. Boy does that sound very familiar. I've seen my share of both, and for me it also takes several days to get over it after ingesting some gluten. Something you may want to try to help with that if it happens again is eating some celery and a raw garlic clove. It has helped me through some long nights. Also a banana...

ARCHIVED Captain Morgan Long Island Ice Tea
jrc121 replied to Dinosaur's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
When in doubt you know what to do. Until you find some confirmation, I would avoid it. Besides, there are alternatives. CM's regular spiced rum is gluten free. -
ARCHIVED Walmart Chicken Breats?
jrc121 replied to ChopperT's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It's not the first GV product to have the gluten-free label removed, and I don't think it will be the last either. I don't know why they're doing it, but they are. I've always used Tyson chicken breasts without problems. -
ARCHIVED Diet Soda
jrc121 replied to KikiUSA's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Before you drink that diet soda, do yourself a huge favor and google "aspartame." -
ARCHIVED Excedrin Sinus Headache
jrc121 replied to NewGuy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It could have gluten in it. But I would also look at why you're needing to take it in the first place. Perhaps you've gotten into something else. I get migraines if I get a hold of something with soy. -
ARCHIVED Are There Alot Of Keurig K-cups That Are Gluten Free?
jrc121 replied to tiredofbeingsickandtired's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I buy Dunkin Donuts coffee and use my keurig to make it. My favorite coffee drink. -
ARCHIVED Kettle Chips - Labelled Gluten Free
jrc121 replied to NorthernElf's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yeah, don't eat 'em. Every time I've tried them I've reacted. The bag doesn't deserve the gluten free label that is put on them. -
ARCHIVED The New Chex
jrc121 replied to taweavmo3's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
People having problems with this should try their cereal without cow's milk and see if it makes a difference. Rice and almond milk are better alternatives. -
ARCHIVED Bob's Red Mill?
jrc121 replied to darkmoonsinger's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I used Bob's Red Mill flours often for the past few months and haven't noticed anything. I wouldn't doubt that it is possible for you to have run into a contamination issue. Make sure it is at least labeled "gluten-free." Not all their flour is labeled gluten free, like the corn flour, though I have tried it and didn't notice any reactions there either. -
ARCHIVED Candida And Candex
jrc121 replied to Lexi's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Eating raw garlic and avoiding sugar is very helpful, not to mention a natural alternative to medication. Open Original Shared Link -
ARCHIVED Looking For Yummy gluten-free Crackers - Any Recs?
jrc121 replied to beanpot's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Yup. Make 'em all the time. SODA CRACKERS 1 Cup White Rice Flour -
ARCHIVED Powerade
jrc121 replied to JBaby's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
This is why I don't drink powerade or soda either. I drink plain water, water with fresh lemon juice - which is good and good for you, unsweetened green tea (an acquired taste), and sometimes coffee. By the way, the more sugar you consume, the more your body will want. If you want to get away from craving sugary drinks, start cutting out 95% of the refined... -
ARCHIVED New To Celiac And Gluten Free
jrc121 replied to QUANITA55's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Believe it or not it does get easier. And as for that breadmaker, I wouldn't use it unless it's brand new, else you may be risking possible contamination. I made my own bread and crackers yesterday and they've never turned out better. I'll see if I can get around to posting the recipes. -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Fruit Snacks And Breakfast Sausage Patties?
jrc121 replied to Nicholasmommy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Watch out for the maple flavored hormel little sizzlers. Found out today they have wheat in them. Says so on the back. The original flavored are ok. Open Original Shared Link -
ARCHIVED Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen
jrc121 replied to Peej's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I used some a week ago and didn't have a reaction. Even if it does contain gluten, you would have to ingest it somehow of course. I may very well have done this because I accidentally got some on my face near my mouth. But I didn't notice anything afterward, so I'll be using it again this summer. -
ARCHIVED Baked Kettle Chips...bbq Flavor
jrc121 replied to NorthernElf's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I have on two occasions now. At first, I considered it a possible reaction to the sunflower/safflower oil. Then I read that such a reaction is fairly rare. I'm betting it was a contamination issue. These chips are amazing, but I won't be trying them again. Gonna learn to make my own chips - doesn't seem like it would be that tough. -
ARCHIVED How Many P.p.m. (gluten) Can You Safely Tolerate?
jrc121 replied to doodle's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Zero. I have celiac disease. -
ARCHIVED Gluten & Soy Free Candy Bars
jrc121 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Anyone know of any mainstream brands? Butterfinger and Snickers and gluten free but not soy. I guess hershey's plain and almond are ok, but am not sure. They contain soy lecithin, which I have heard does not effect people allergic to soy. Don't know how much I agree with this. Haven't checked into resee cups yet, but am afraid of them anyway because of the... -
ARCHIVED Decaf Green Tea

I also drink Lipton's with no problems. -
ARCHIVED Glutened By Tyson?
jrc121 replied to latteda's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I recently tried this chicken and didn't have any problems. And I'm highly sensitive to gluten.
