Gluten free formula to travel with?
kareng replied to MEN's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Can you do rice? I know I have seen microwave rice cups. You could eat some nuts or Peanut butter with it? I think you could go to your local Whole Foods or "natural" grocery store and see what you can find. -
Toilet Paper And Paper Towels
kareng replied to confused's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
first of all, to quote you "don't silence me when I am helping people!" "Any allergy can cause a reaction on the skin. Find someone with a peanut allergy and rub a peanut on their skin." Because Celiac is not an allergy, this doesn't apply. "If you like citing medical journals that's fine, but... -
There are simple blood tests for Celiac. If you have Celiac and do not treat it, there are lots of complications. The treatment is eating gluten free....not surgery, drugs, etc. so that's a good thing. Once you treat the Celiac by eating gluten-free, the chances of all those bad complications go down to almost nothing.

My migraines are almost non- existent now. I know other Celiacs that have that same experience. -

Maybe when zthe Celiac damage is healed , the other problem will dissipate? -
Toilet Paper And Paper Towels
kareng replied to confused's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Right. Of course. but I just want to tell people that they do not need to fear gluten in mainstream toilet paper. Perhaps use some logic and some scientific info when possible. Perhaps help people to figure out what the real issue is. I am also saying that I don't see any way there is gluten in Charmin. Maybe you could contact the company... -

I just looked up some info. It looks like a lot of tp is no longer layered. Its just thicker. So I went to look at my Charmin - its just 1 layer that is stamped with a "quilting" -

Celiac has nothing to do with the ability to "digest" gluten. It is an autoimmune response to gluten in the small intestines. Sometimes people have skin reactions to the dye/coloring chemicals or scent in TP. But that is not a gluten reaction -

Toilet papers layers are likely heat pressed or something like that. A wheat based glue would get sticky when wet. -

Celiac researchers tell us that touching gluten is not going to cause a Celiac reaction. That assumes there is even any gluten to touch http://www.cureceliacdisease.org/faq/will-my-skin-breakout-if-i-use-topical-products-like-shampooslotions-that-have-gluten-in-them/ "Gluten must be ingested to be cause for concern for someone... -

Not likely. Most all glue is actually not made from wheat. I don't think the layers are actually glued. Also, you have to eat the wheat to get a celiac reaction. You could have some sort of topical allergy to it. -
There isn't really a " gluten allergy". Sometimes people use that term for Celiac, but it isn't an allergy to gluten. The allergy would be to wheat or barley or rye, but not " gluten".

Gluten Free Cream Cheese
kareng replied to Alanamari's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I am wondering if they are getting it confused with a whey protein powder that might contain gluten? They might not realize that the protein powder sold for making smoothies is a multi ingredient thing and it isn't the whey that is the gluten issue? Or one of these fringe sites that tell you strange things? You know the ones that think eggs are dairy... -
Gluten Free Cream Cheese
kareng replied to Alanamari's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Wheat, Barley, Barley malt and rye contain gluten. Whey is milk. It is gluten free. You need to get some reliable info about Celiac. See the Newbie thread for a starting point. -
Not sure you can blame everything on Celiac and gluten. I assume you are seeing a psychiatrist? and a psychologist? I would suggest you try working hard with them. Even if part of this is due to Celiac, you need some help to get through it and back on track. Once you get your mental illness under control you can be the kind of person you would want to...

It is extremely unlikely that glue is actually made with wheat these days, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Commercial strawberries are grown on plastic covers mounds of dirt. Even if they were grown on straw - it would have very few seeds and the seeds could be washed of the strawberries.
