I had to go read my can of tuna My tuna has vegetable broth and an allergy warning for soy. It is bumble-bee albacore tuna. I have not had any troubles with it and I seem to be sensitive. However, I remember watching Julia Child and Jaques Pepin talking about can tuna and how Julia said the tuna must be packed in oil! Julia seemed to think it was close to a sin to have tuna packed in water/broth. Julia would advise you (on taste alone) to stick with the tuna in olive oil. I think I might have to agree with her, it tastes better.

I use Dove moisturiser with spf. I am in Colorado and it is really dry here as well. I would say it does a fair job, not great. But I know it is safe. I sometimes will put it on twice before putting on make-up.

My understanding is that maltodextrin while sounding dangerous is actually gluten-free in the US. I believe they started adding wheat flour to the cereal?

Hez

Thanks Laura. I did go to that website and found no information on eating out. I think they have a booklet you can buy that will tell you places that are safe. I am not sure why but this rubs me the wrong way. The Denver group has on line places to go that are celiac friendly, they do not make me buy a book for this information. At this point I may have to buy the book

My understanding is that cocoa pebbles are still safe.

As far as the cocoa puffs are concerned they were unsafe, then the formula changed and they were safe and then yet another change and they are unsfe again! Just goes to show that we need to read every label, I learned this the hard way!

Hez

My understanding is that colors are safe but artificial and natural flavors could be gluten. By law in the US if it has wheat it will be stated. Unfortunatly that does not include barley, rye and oats. Bottom line is you need to be careful and check with the manufacturers. Unless it is a company that has a clear labeling policy (I am thinking of Kraft but I know there are others).

Okay, I have spent the last hour researching gluten-free restaurants in Houston. Know what I found? Nothing! Not one thing (besides the normal Outback, PF Changs).

In a city as large as Houston the only options are chains? If you know of anything please help me!

Thanks,

Hez

Welcome to the world of cross contamination! It sucks. It was so hard for me to believe that I really had to be that careful. That was until the day I glutened myself through cc. Hope you feel better soon.

I would try dipping your favorite fresh or dried fruit into a rich dark chocolate. You would only need to dip a small portion of your fruit to get alot of bang for your tastebuds.

Hez

I noticed this too and became so excited! I can only hope that in 10 years our lives will be even easier with more people understanding what we go through.

Personally I would not drink it. I avoid things that have gluten ingredients even if it has tested to not have detectable gluten. I think this will have to be your decision based on the facts and your comfort level.

We eat Mission chips, they say gluten-free on the package.

Hez

Thank You! I will try that next time I make bread.

Hez

That made me laugh! The idea of scolding ones mother. My guess is she still had some denial going on, maybe. At least now she will not miss saltines so much after gettig sick!

Hez

I have the Cuisnart that has a gluten-free setting. My understanding is that the gluten-free cycle only has 1 rise whereas the poisionous cycle has 2. I like my machine the only problem is that it gets the crusts too dark. Even on the light crust setting.

Hez

So if I have two cans of the same product, one that says gluten free and one that says made in a facility... is that just a change in labeling and both should be considered made in a facility?

Yes, I would think you have an old can and a new one. But the cc would be the same. IMO.

Hez

I have this bread maker as well. I have only tried mixes in it, nothing from scratch. My only complaint is that it gets the bread too dark. I only use the light crust setting and it still seems to get really dark.

Hez

The only reaction I have ever had is eating too many! Love them.

So sorry you got sick. Hopefully you can figure out what it is.

Hez

Depending on what you need this for you can make your own. It is relatively simple but it does take more time than opening a can! Here is a link to the recipe if you would like to try it.

I have yet to find a gluten-free teriyaki sauce. I have made my own and it is very easy!

Hez

I have eaten cracker jacks without a problem. Although it has been awhile!

As for the scouts you will have to wait until next year! I have a cub scout who sells and I eat everything except the tins that have pretzels!

Hez

Chef Chris is wonderful and very helpful. We went last year and had a great experience. I got sick but it was my own fault (first afternoon I forgot my list of safe places to eat). I had a wonderful time and cannot wait to go back!

If you really want a blue cheese read the label. Some cheese start with bread others use something synthetic I believe. Either way it will declare wheat in the US because of the labeling law. I was able to find several blue cheeses that did not list wheat.

Do you kow what movie theater you are going to? I eat Cinemark popcorn with no problem. I avoid the "butter" because I have no idea what is in it.
