    This is an old topic, but as stated before, Kraft will cleanly label any gluten source. As noted, the single word ingredient "Vinegar" must be apple cider vinegar, which may be distilled (white) or not.

    This is the second time recently that the question of whey has come up. Where is this misinformation coming from? Casein intolerance is common among those with celiac disease, especially those in recovery, but whey is gluten free.

    News to me. I just rechecked the ingredients on the Lipton/Knorr web site, and only found a "may contain." That is the Canadian site, the US could be different. Soy sauce was not listed as an ingredient. Honestly, I can't imagine why anyone would want to ruin the taste of onion soup my adding soy sauce.

    Just be aware, this topic is four years old, and information may be out of date.

    I used to get migraines. Someone mentioned them as a symptom of celiac disease, and I realized that I had not had one since going gluten-free. Seventeen years and counting...

    Well, it is not something routinely tested for. But if there is a record of a test that strongly positive, it should have been diagnosed (and Crohns might not have been correct as a diagnosis). You said he was in the military. Was that at the time of the "Crohns" diagnosis? Celiac disease is an exclusion to joining the military in the US. If you are...

    B12 deficiency is one symptom of celiac disease, but B12 supplements will not affect the testing.

    Yes, if there was wheat it would be disclosed. Hydrolyzed protein is not a concern, unless it is wheat protein.

    Most, but not all, soy sauces contain wheat. As a top allergen, the wheat must be labelled by that exact word--wheat. The list in parentheses after the "soy sauce" is the ingredients in that particular ingredient. No gluten there. Enjoy it! It is safe.

    Whey is derived from milk, and is gluten-free. It is casein, i.e. dairy protein.

    Potato chips are usually gluten-free. If there is a concern, it is in an added flavor. I haven't seen a problem except for some BBQ flavors, and even then rarely. Wheat must be declared on the label in Canada and the USA. Rye and Barley do not need to be declared in the US, but in practice they are not hidden. That leaves dextrose which is a pure sugar and...

    As Karen said, any known gluten-containing ingredient means that the gluten must be clearly disclosed on a Canadian label. I can't imagine how there could be accidental contamination of such a product.

    FDA rules on spices: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=101.22 https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/cfrsearch.cfm?fr=182.10 Grains can not be included. Section 101.22(a)(2) says, in part, "except for those substances which have been traditionally regarded as foods." That would cover grains.

    I don't eat chocolate often, but I have never had a gluten reaction to Toblerone. I trust it to be gluten-free.
  15. psawyer
    Fine in my experience--never had a problem with them. My wife can't get her mind around mixing chocolate with peanut butter, so all the more for me.

    This is a very old thread, and the information in it is from at least six years ago. It may be out of date, and I would not rely on any of it.

    It does not matter what the animal eats. The meat is absolutely gluten-free. Same goes for milk from any ruminants, including cows. Gluten can not pass from the digestive tract into the tissue or the milk. There have been suggestions that in humans gluten can pass into breast milk, but we have a very different digestive tract.

    It is a support forum, and I do get hives, but not from ingesting gluten. I am fortunate that I did not have DH, just horrible gastric symptoms, anemia, seizures and other issues that put me in hospital. Acute hives--which appear suddenly and then pass--are almost always an allergic reaction. The sudden onset you described matches that case. Chronic hives...
  19. psawyer
    "I broke out in hives..." That is an allergic reaction to something, not a celiac reaction. It is, of course, possible that you are allergic to wheat in addition to having celiac disease. The rash could be DH, but might also be an allergy.
  20. psawyer
    Yes, I agree.

    And keep in mind that our furry friends get it on their feet and track it all over the house. If this litter is in use, it will be everywhere. The suggestions for disposable gloves and masks are excellent.
  22. psawyer
    Late response, but all variations of Crest and Colgate are gluten-free, and available everywhere.
  23. psawyer
    Guinness is something I still miss. I don't know of any gluten-free beer that is even close.

    The posts reflect the time zone in your user settings. If you have not set one, or are not logged in, the default is California time, since the board is based in Santa Rosa, CA. A quote will show the time zone of the member who quoted the post. I post in Eastern time, but if somebody in Chicago quotes me, the time in the quote will be Central time.

    Kraft has stated that the label on any Kraft product will correspond to the actual content of the package on which the label appears. This is good news, since it removes any doubt that the ingredients on the product you have might differ from those in the some list the customer service rep may have. The legal definition of the ingredient, "vinegar," has been...
