    Holy ship!

    Extreme thirst is a red flag for diabetes, which can be gestational (related to pregnancy). Please have yourself tested for this. It is a simple, non-invasive test that could have great impact on your future health.

    What "CLEARLY" means in this case is that Kraft (among several other big food companies) will clearly list gluten in the ingredients by naming the grain in question. If you don't see wheat, barley, rye or oats listed by those names, then the product contains no gluten. Indeed, if you telephone Kraft, they will give you the same answer that was given here...

    My, it has been quiet here of late. Even the tumbleweeds have not visited. Not much to say here. Some family news that has me down, but that I am not yet ready to share here. If you have been here long enough, you will know about my brother, Rob. His latest novel, his 22nd, is making bestseller lists. Visit http://sfwriter.com

    Hey, Sylvia! Good to see you.

    And that is NOT HELPFUL. Would you be so kind as to explain your reasoning.

    The Phlasher has spoken. Oh bay we must.

    Yes, FALCPA does not cover rye, oats or barley. Rye and oats are never hidden in flavors. The possible source would be barley malt, and that is a relatively expensive ingredient, so it is usually explicitly declared as "malt flavor." Shelley Case on flavorings:

    Not completely true. If it contains a FALCPA allergen, that must be disclosed. It can be sort of hidden in natural flavor, but only if a "Contains:" statement on the same label discloses its presence. In practical terms, natural flavor is almost invariably gluten-free, to the point where I don't worry about it.

    There may be something with which you have an issue, but bergamot oranges are citrus fruits, not grains. Gluten is only found in grains, and not even in all of them. Bergamot oil is definitely gluten-free.

    There have been some performance issues of late, and an upgrade was put on the board software last night. There have been some unexpected effects, including the matter of quotes.

    Neroli, sorry, but you look like a person of interest. 9,017 posts--when did you slip past 9,000 without anyone noticing?

    Got lots. Happy to share.

    The last four posts all shared the same link (which had been provided in some older posts as well).

    The snow is still falling, with another 15 cm (6 in) expected. No wind to speak of, so no drifting or whiteouts.

    And on another wave, here in Canada, it no longer makes sense to make cents. The one-cent coin, generally referred to as a "penny," was withdrawn from circulation today. That means that banks can no longer obtain it from the mint, and businesses can no longer buy rolls of them at the bank. Most places have adopted what is known as Swedish Rounding...

    No.

    Labeling of wheat in Canada has been required for many years as a "priority allergen." The other gluten sources were added effective August 4, 2012, for foods packaged on or after that date. In the US, wheat must be disclosed, but disclosure of barley, rye and oats remains voluntary. Some manufacturers have a clear gluten disclosure policy. They include...
