  1. Just had to add my two cents about Burt's Bees lip shimmers...I have really dry lips, which is made worse by constantly playing the oboe, and I searched and tried different products that I hoped would help my chronically chapped lips. By far the best thing I ever found was the lip shimmers, and that was before going gluten free. They used to be so hard to...
  2. I think Yoplait may be taking the "Gluten free" statement off their labeling. I haven't contacted the company yet, but I was at the local grocery store and saw that the Yoplait yogurt there said "gluten free." I didn't need any yogurt then, so I waited and was going to get some when I went to Walmart a week later. I just happened to read the labels again...
  3. I'm too new to the gluten-free diet to know if MSG contains gluten, but it sounds like the other people who posted are pretty knowledgeable. I just wanted to add that I know someone who is severely allergic to MSG, so it could just be that you're allergic or intolerant to MSG as well as gluten.
  4. I'm very new to the gluten-free diet, and I'm still learning what to look for on labels. I did some research of a bunch of different (credible) websites when I first started on the diet, and made myself a little "cheat sheet" listing all the ingredients that contain gluten or may contain gluten to look for on a label. One of them is maltodextrin, but it's...
  5. I'm lactose intolerant and I don't have any problem with soy, so I've been drinking soy milk for a few years. I recently went gluten-free though, and I noticed that the chocolate soy milk with the new GV packaging says "natural flavors" on it. I know Great Value took the "gluten free" off of the labels of all their other products and put on a notice that...
  6. Oh, and I forgot to add that I don't have much money. The less expensive, the better. If it's an ingredient I can buy in bulk and will be using a lot, even better. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this boat.
  7. Hi everyone, I'm 23 and pretty new to cooking. I ate dorm food all through college, and I ate whatever my parents made until I moved out in December 2008. I haven't been very good about making my own food and eating a healthy, balanced diet, and now I have to eat gluten-free too. The only cooking experience I had was simple things like mac & cheese...
  8. I'm sensitive to a lot of things too! I have to be really careful with medications, and scented things and regular candles are not good either. I can tolerate soy candles, but I'm not as sensitive as some of you seem to be. I actually have a worse sense of smell than most people--I'm always the one smelling something 200 ft later, or not at all. I will still...
  9. I have a granola/energy bar recipe that I formulated myself before going gluten free. I work asleep overnights and 3 awake morning hours at a group home, and most mornings are crazy, so I like to have something I can eat quickly and that will sustain me throughout the morning. I have tried several energy bars (both gluten-free and not), but nothing seems...
