    Nor was I.

    Lisa is right, as far as I know. There is a proposed standard of less than 20 parts per million. It has been a proposal for a number of years.

    Guess they gave you a snow job.

    :D

    The information in the first quote is six years old. We talk here all the time about whether 20 parts per million is safe. Many argue that the limit should be 10 ppm, or even 5 ppm. The figure of 0.01% is 100 ppm. It may have qualified as gluten-free in Switzerland in 2007, but it is far higher than the accepted limit today in the EU. Canada does not have...

    The old server was shut down 24 hours ago. The new one was up a few hours later, but since the IP address changed, your DNS cache might remember the old one for a while. There can be deeper issues. My ISP's default DNS server, preprogrammed into the modem, is out of date and no longer refreshed regularly. I had to tweak my router to use an explicit DNS server...

    Here in Canada, they are still sold under the Nestle brand, and are gluten-free.

    Tie one on.

    Happy New Year, everyone.

    Would you please tell us who said that, and provide references for the testing. In the US, caramel color is made from corn. Where did the gluten come from?

    lolipopins, just a thought re the Coke. Could HFCS be a factor?

    Merry Christmas, psillies!

    They were in eastern Mexico, which would put them in today's Central time zone, one hour behind me. So maybe I have to wait one hour and 41 minutes before I know for sure. If I survive, I will post. If you don't see a post, kiss your ass goodbye.

    According to the Mayan calendar, the world will end tomorrow. Tomorrow is less than an hour away. Should I pig out on gluten loaded stuff I miss? Oh, wait, there is no gluten in the house and most grocery stores here are closed (there is one open 24 hours).

    This gab/chat fourm is described on the index page thus: General Chat Unrelated to Celiac Disease - Discuss most things here EXCEPT Celiac Disease / Gluten-Free Diet. Keep it light and avoid controversial topics like global warming, gay marriage, gun control, euthanasia, speed limits on the Autobahn, prisoner torture, etc. This discussion has strayed...

    I'm here, after being distracted for a while. It has been a busy and stressful couple of weeks. Some of you know from Facebook, and my moderator colleagues know as well. My father-in-law was taken to hospital December 4 because he was suddenly vomiting blood. His health had been in a slow, steady decline for a while. On Saturday evening, he passed away...

    The hard part is over. The crowning is painless. Been there more than once. A crown sculptured to match the drilled tooth is made and attached to the tooth using a strong adhesive. No drilling. No pain.

    Caramel color is one of those celiac urban myths that just won't go away. Here is Shelley Case's take on it, from Gluten-Free Diet A Comprehensive Resource Guide: [Emphasis in original]

    Gluten-Free Bisquick is not available in Canada, and General Mills Canada has no idea when, or if, it will be. So on Saturday, we took a trip across the Niagara River to shop in western New York. We bought three boxes. Today, Jacquie goes to bake, and looks closely at the box: How ironic! Distributed by General Mills Sales Inc, USA. Product...

    It's December 11th! Eighty-one years ago on this date, Canada ceased to be a part of the British Empire, and became an independent country ruled by a democratically elected Parliament comprised of Canadians. Let's celebrate!! Most Canadians are too distracted by the event of July 1, 1867, to realize that the truly important date was December...

    Just now: The server at www.facebook.com can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed.

    USA Today. Not the newspaper. A day trip to Niagara Falls NY. We needed gluten-free Bisquick for a holiday recipe that WardGirl wants to make. It is not available in Canada. We also grabbed Corn Chex and Bob's Red Mill gluten-free rolled oats. Picked up some stuff at Best Buy, too, that they don't have in Canada. We shopped at Wegmans for the first...

    In addition to the garage event, I have been working on a replacement for my slowly dying desk computer, which is over nine years old and struggles. The optical drive no longer works, and there has been no sound for many months. This post is coming from a new machine which UPS delivered today. I am just getting it going. I updated IE to IE8 so I could download...

    Well, we have been doing some out-of-season spring cleaning around here. It is our turn to host the family Christmas dinner for my family. We are slowly sorting through stuff, some of which is related to our now-closed retail business. We filled the garage with gems and detritus prior to closing the store in late June. July was a rest period, and from early...

    Um, you blew--oh, oh--no, NO, not going there.
