I've tried Stevia and Truvia(Stevia and Cane Sugar blend), but I just can't get over the taste. I am so so sensitive to taste and I just can't stand the taste of Stevia. I could probably make myself like it if used it enough, but I'm sticking with pure sugar for now

The Dark Chocolate Almond milk is downright addictive if you like chocolate The Vanilla goes excellent in Smoothies as well...yum! Almond milk is all I drink now!

I worked at Subway in high school and I can't see any way they would be able to pull this off without there being a lot of cross-contamination It's a nice try, but I really don't think it'll go over well...

Their soy sauce is definitely gluten free...they wouldn't have it labeled as gluten free, otherwise

I eat their noodle carts all the time!

I personally can't stand the taste of bean flour in bread, so I nearly gagged when I first tried it. Others do like it, though, so it really depends on what tastes you do/don't like

I use Wal-Mart brand Sudafed and have called them several times to ask about the gluten free status of a product. They simply tell me, "This product does not contain gluten ingredients" or "This product does contain gluten ingredients." Simple and easy I mark my boxes of medication that have been confirmed gluten free with a gluten-free with permanent marker so I remember that it's gluten free

Is your ConAgra information current? I've seen information from 2006 or so that said they labeled gluten used in their products, but then the information on their website a month ago didn't seem to agree with that, at least not the way I'm reading it. This is what they have up, at least as of last month:

Which of your products contain gluten?

We are sorry to inform you that we do not have a source that lists the gluten content of our products. However, our product labels list common allergens, such as wheat, for those allergic to wheat gluten.

I don't see how they can have the above statement and at the same time claim to list all gluten on their products, you know?

What ConAgra is trying to say here is that they don't have a master list of "Gluten Free" products. The list would be too lengthy, take too much time, and would change all the time, most likely. What they have done is to guarantee us that they will always disclose sources of gluten on the product label. As long as you read your labels and avoid products with gluten ingredients listed, you'll be safe Hope this helps!

Kraft company owns LOADS of brands and Kraft is *very* upfront about ingredients in their products. You simply have to scan through the ingredients quickly and you can easily tell if one of their products contains gluten or not. Kraft owns brands like Oscar Meyer, Cool Whip, A1, Corn Nuts, Planters, Breakstones, Crystal Light, Taco Bell brand, Velveeta, Jell-O, Maxwell House, Phiadelphia, Tolberone, Kraft is always releasing coupons for their products and they go on sale for very cheap!

Hormel is another brand that is upfront about ingredients and even label their gluten free items as gluten free. (Dinty Moore beef stew, Hormel chili w/beans, Hormel pepperoni, etc) They put out quite a few coupons for their products often.

You mentioned General Mills, which has a lot of gluten free items and labels them as well.

McCormick makes quite a few gluten free marinades (yum!) and if it contains wheat, wheat will be in bold letters on the ingredient list. Last year I picked up 30 packets of McCormick marinades for free when I combined my coupons with a sale

All of Bush's Beans products are gluten free except for their Homestyle Chili.

In addition to the main brands, many off brands (Best Choice, Always Save, etc) are now releasing gluten free lists. If AWG products are available in your area, check out this site: Open Original Shared Link Most of the products in my pantry are actually Best Choice brand. I grab up canned beans, tomato sauce, chocolate chips, etc when they go on sale for very inexpensive. Always Save is starting to label their products as gluten free as well

And don't forget fresh fruits and veggies, potatoes, rice, and meat!

I'm happy to see so many Baked chips on there. I adore the crunchy baked ones and they're not too unhealthy either!

I make a cornbread using Pamela's Baking and Pancake mix and Bob's Red Mill cornmeal. It's super fast and easy and my family actually begs me to make it when we visit for dinner Sure makes me feel good that they like my "gluten free" cornbread over their "regular" cornbread

Here's the recipe: Cornbread and Muffins

1-1/4 cup Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix

1 cup fine yellow cornmeal

1/3 cup sugar or honey

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg, beaten (for fluffier muffins use two eggs)

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons melted butter

Muffins: Mix all ingredients together and fill greased muffin tin 3/4 full. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes.

Corn bread: Follow directions above, using two eggs. Pour into a greased 8-inch square pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Variation: Add 1 cup drained canned corn and 2 tablespoons diced green chilies to dough when mixing. Bake for 20-25 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Chef's Note: Use Pamela's Cornbread & Muffin Mix for other easy cornbread based recipes.

Every single artificial sweetener out there makes me sick: sorbitol, maltitol, xylitol, aspartame, splenda....

Somehow my body just hates them. I stick with plain sugar or honey, mmmmm

Whoppers are made by Burger King, but that ingredients list is for McDonald's. McD's Big Mac sauce does contain gluten, but I don't know about the Whopper sauce. I found nutritional info for the Whopper which says it contains wheat but that could be just for the bun. The ingredients don't actually show a whopper "sauce", just mayo.

Yep, I see that now. I guess I'll have to contact corporate at Burger King to verify if their "creamy mayonnaise" contains gluten or not...I was never a McDonald's girl anyway I've always been smitten with BK.

Whopper sauce does have gluten. See this list for McD's specifically.

Where do you find that Whopper sauce has gluten in it? I checked their allergen list and it said their mayo does not have gluten...does the Whopper have a different kind of mayo? I really need to find a good recipe for it if it's not safe

Strong mint tea and a warm heating pad always help my tummy feel better when I get glutened. But I don't get the D or C issues that other people have. Immodium/Pepto would be very useful, I imagine. I've always wanted to travel overseas but now that I can't have gluten, it's one of my biggest fears Total bummer! I really hope you figure things out and have a wonderful trip!

I think everyone is kind of jumping to conclusions a bit....the OP never said he/she is in the military at all, some other poster brought it up. The OP's reasons are his/her business and may very well be completely unrelated to military

You can eat a lot of fast food ... just not the buns! Check the allergen lists. We went to Burger King today, in fact. I had a tasty Whopper with 2 slices of bacon and fries. Horrible for me and super tasty!

*gasp* Does Whopper sauce contain gluten? I've been craving a Whopper 24 hours a day for 14 months now and I'm afraid I may die of sadness at the thought of never having one again...and no, chocolate, Snickers, chips, or any other gluten free snack will quell my Whopper cravings You have NO idea how bad I want one!

Ocean Spray states that its beverages and sauces are gluten free, but then gives this disclaimer:

"Do Ocean Spray

I worked at Subway back in High School and I know that there were always bread crumbs in the veggies, meat and cheese. It's not really something we could control, it just happens when you're dealing with a lot of bread, having to bake and cut it. I would never eat at Subway, knowing this, but gosh, do I sure crave it all the time

Have you tried Pure Cream? Cream has virtually no lactose. I have lactose intolerance and can tolerate the low lactose foods ( butter, cream, hard cheese ) just fine. I found one brand of cream suited me better than another. It was the ( natural) thicker one. The thin 'pouring type' cream upset me.

Is Pure Cream a brand, or are you referring to cream in general? I was confused by this because I react *very* strongly to whipping cream and did some research. Turns out that cream is very high in lactose and one of the foods I have to avoid completely

Edited to Add: I did some more research and found this document listing the lactose content of different dairy products: Open Original Shared Link

It says that whipping cream only contains 3 g of lactose per half cup, but I was sick almost instantly after using it a week ago and thought my husband was going to have to take me to the ER, I was in so much pain. So...I guess it just depends on how much you can handle

Why would you want to use Coffee Mate? It's not dairy free, is laden with health-damaging chemicals, and even the original contains artificial flavor:

corn syrup solids, vegetable oil, sodium caseinate, dipotassium phosphate, mono- and diglycerides, sodium aluminosilicate, artificial flavor, annatto color.

It's interesting that they don't even have a link to the ingredients on their website.

Oh, good grief, I'm sorry, but I'm just not concerned about a bit of creamer in my hot chocolate or coffee. There are a lot of other damaging things to worry about, but creamer is not on my worry list I love Coffee Mate creamer and it's never made me sick or affected my health badly...everything in moderation

I eat their rice mixes all the time and haven't had any issues... and I believe their gluten free products are made in a dedicated facility. I think most of their rice mixes do contain MSG though, that could be the culprit

Velveeta is made by Kraft (who clearly labels all sources of gluten) and YES! Velveeta is gluten free

If the bakery is advertised as gluten free, they are more than likely using gluten free oats as well. Not all people with a gluten intolerance also react to oats, as the previous poster said, and it's a little unreasonable, in my opinion, to expect every gluten free bakery to also exclude oats, since most of us *can* have them. I'm sorry you got sick, but I wouldn't blame the bakery

If you love chocolate, this is hands-down, one of my favorite dessert recipes EVER!

We spend about $300 a month, and that's for hubby and myself and a toddler. I buy things like rice mixes and chocolate almond milk which aren't really necessary, but I'm in love with, so our bill could probably drop a bit if I *really* tried

I stock up on pasta, cookies, baking mixes, crackers, etc on Amazon and am careful to always buy meat on sale, never paying more than $2.50/lb. One month we really really cut back on the unnecessary items and got our monthly groceries down to $200, but I really like my indulgences and that was a little extreme for me
