Thanks guys! I am so confused about washing. I have seen other posts that say it is not enough. I'll have to keep an eye out for the Unico dried beans, I've never seen them, which stores do you find them at? I have been using their canned beans but much prefer the taste of dried. I managed to find a bag of certified chickpeas at London Drugs...

We have always eaten a lot of dried chickpeas, beans etc. There have always been a few which included the 'may contain traces of wheat' disclaimer but lately it seems like every bag of beans I look at says it may contain wheat. The Unico canned beans have the CCA gluten free symbol on them. I don't understand how they can access safe beans but...

In the past when looking at cold medication etc I have asked the pharmacist and they have been able to provide some additional information which is not included on labels regarding allergen information which has been very helpful!

Thanks for the response, I had picked them up quickly without thinking, but you're right, it would be a good idea to just pick up something that I know for sure is safe when it's so easy to do so. Thanks for encouraging me to make a safe choice, it's easy to get complacent!

I recently purchased (in Canada) a magnesium supplement without even considering whether it would be gluten-free or not. It lists "caramel" as a non-medicinal ingredient. I called the company (Nature's Bounty) just to confirm that this would be okay, and she said that the product is imported from the US. She said that while the US supplier lists the...

Has anyone tried the Fasano diet?
PaigeyPants replied to PaigeyPants's topic in Super Sensitive People
That's what I was thinking, right now I am having such a difficult time pinpointing what is going on, it seems like it will be a lot easier to determine with the limited diet. I agree it could be something other than gluten, but I have had everything tested that my doctor is willing to test. Next time I go in I'll see if we can check my antibodies,... -
Has anyone tried the Fasano diet?
PaigeyPants replied to PaigeyPants's topic in Super Sensitive People
Thanks for the suggestions, I have no idea about my antibodies, I don't have a family doctor I just try to see the same doctor at the walk-in when I can, and he suggested I make sure I have eliminated every trace of gluten from my diet for a while and if I don't see improvement he will refer me to a dietitian. If this doesn't work after a while I am... -
iron suggestions?
PaigeyPants replied to ironictruth's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hey there! I have been struggling for years to find an iron supplement that did not upset my stomach, and recently discovered Heme Iron by New Roots Herbal. Have you tried a heme iron? It is derived from animal sources rather than elemental, so wouldn't be suitable if you're vegetarian, but is apparently easier to absorb. I haven't had any problems with it... -
I have been 'gluten free' for over 15 years, but still have not felt well. I've been tested for everything under the sun and have recently concluded that I am probably just reacting to hidden gluten in something in my diet. I have cleaned my kitchen, given away anything questionable and still feel like I am being glutened by something! In the past I had...
