    I have never, ever heard of a coffee manufacturer that uses flour on the lines to keep beans from sticking. If you have evidence of a particular manufacturer that does that, you need to name them up front for us so that we can avoid them. If you don't know of one but just heard this somewhere, please don't pass it along. There are already enough celiac urban...

    "So, as far as allergies go, does wheat HAVE to listed as an ingredient (regardless how small of an amount they use)? Do all labels HAVE to declare if they are made in factories containing wheat? Does this go for products actually manufactured in the U.S., or for anything made FOR the U.S.? " Wheat has to be listed if it's purposely added as an ingredient...

    Given your screen name I'm not sure that you're in the U.S., but these days in the U.S., wheat would have to be listed as an ingredient. And manufacturers are unlikely to use wheat flour for this anyway; most likely it would be cellulose. I say this because your problem might not be the garlic powder, which means you need to keep looking. Have you called...

    I use it regularly. richard

    Check out Zatarains as well. My parents live in Thibodaux. richard

    Somebody once upon a time alleged that canola was a problem for people with celiac but there's never been any proof whatsoever. I'm sure there are people who have problems with canola, just like there are people who have problems with almost anything, but it's not celiac related. richard

    I've never called Dean's but rennet is most definitely safe. I've been gluten-free for more than five years and have yet to find a sour cream with gluten. richard

    To find gluten-free turkey all you have to do is read the ingredients. USDA law REQUIRES that anything that adds nutrition -- which includes all grains -- be clearly listed. This is true for any plain raw meat. I've never found a turkey that has gluten unless it was stuffed. richard

    It's difficult to ever be 100 percent certain, but I think you can assume they HAVE thought about malt etc. Your best indication is that lots of people with celiac drink their stuff. richard

    I can't remember ever finding food coloring with gluten. richard

    A standard gyro meat recipe (you can find them simply by doing a google search) would be gluten-free. Lamb or lamb and beef mixed with spices and herbs and then cooked. But nobody here can tell you if the specific one you ate had gluten because we don't know the brand. You'd need to go back to the restaurant itself and find out the brand. Ask to see the ingredients...

    According to the companies more than a year ago, Aunt Jemima is gluten-free, but Log Cabin (except Country Kitchen) and Mrs. Butterworth's have barley in them. Remember that barley does not specifically have to be listed. richard

    You psyched yourself out. Here's what Shadybrook says on its website: Does Shady Brook Farms™ Turkey contain gluten or MSG? TOP Most all of our products are MSG and gluten free. The only exceptions are our meatballs, a new Teriyaki Tenderloin and a new frozen Turkey Burger. All of our deli meats are also MSG and gluten free. We don't...

    My bottle in Virginia has the same ingredients as the other two just listed from the U.S. Since I went gluten-free four years ago Lea & Perrins in the U.S. has been considered gluten-free. I've also never heard of anybody with celiac having a gluten reaction to it. richard

    In four years I've never found an instant coffee that wasn't gluten-free in the U.S. richard

    I also have yet to find wasabi with gluten. richard

    If your son actually has DH, it can possibly take months for that to completely clear and longer if he gets gluten. Everybody is different, though. My DH cleared almost immediately. richard

    What ICBINB is saying is that they don't give out a list because as soon as they do it could be old (this is true of ANY list) and that if a product has gluten (or at least wheat) it will be shown in the ingredients. ICBINB is a Unilever product and this is Unilever's policy for all it's products. ICBINB is in fact gluten-free. I've never found a butter...

    Green Giant is a Gerneral Mills company and General Mills will clearly list any gluten. So, as the person on the phone told you, all you need to do is read the ingredients. If it doesn't list wheat, rye, barley or oats, it's gluten-free. richard

    The official word on ALL liquor is that it's gluten-free unless they add gluten after distilling. And I can't remember finding a liquor that had gluten added yet. This is not, of course, a guarantee there isn't a liquor with gluten, but I think of scotch as safe. richard

    Jack is gluten-free because of distilling. Beer is not. richard

    Laura, My apologies for being testy and taking it personally. I read too fast and it was dumb of me. Yesterday was a bad day and I should have just quit posting. I've taken that post down. richard

    You are right that on this thread girlygirl said "some" celiacs. But she posted the same info on about four threads and on some of those she said things like msg is a "big NONO" for celiacs (not "some" celiacs") and "it is not safe for celiacs to eat." Her posts made it sound like MSG is chock full of gluten. It's not. As I pointed out to her, there's...

    From my experience most people with celiac have no problem with MSG. Some do. There's absolutely nothing wrong with suggesting that somebody who is having a problem might want to cut out MSG and then explain why. But your first posts clearly said ALL people with celiac needed to avoid MSG ALL the time, as if MSG had gluten or made all celiacs sick. And...
