      A lot of items on this list have a chance of being cross contaminated. Don’t just go by this list. Gave my daughter some airheads that clearly were labeled as gluten free and they made her feel sick. She has Celiacs disease and her mom and I are constantly reading labels. We can’t believe all the things that say gluten free on them, but then we read the ingredients and it says, “processed in a factory that handles wheat, flour and rye. It’s a never ending battle. A gluten free label shouldn’t be put on an item unless it is completely gluten-free.

        Docs say all my lab work is “normal”, but I’m not felling well at all. So I am going to try your guide to a gluten free diet. Thanks for the work you put into getting all this together. I am particularly interested in more recipes that are protein rich because I do not eat red meats. I eat beans and lots of fishes.
