As I was doing some quick research I came across the following site:
They have a phenomenal list called the Gluten Free Prescription Diet which lists additives, ingredients, food, drugs, products, etc that contain gluten and what to be aware of. I recommend taking some time to look this over because although the site is grossly unorganized and painfully dull to look at the information is great! The people over at Celiac Inc. got it together on this one. Take a look...
Here is a little info about Celiac Inc. Im a huge believer in understanding the source of your information. There is SO MUCH crappy info out there about Celiac Disease and most of it comes from the Celiac.com forum board. I think its great that people share ideas and findings but every Celiac has a different sensitivity level and people seem to think that if something doesnt bother them then it must be okay. This is not the case and there are a lot of products and information out there that is not correct. Having said that Celiac Inc. is a private, publically supported non profit located in Omaha. They list their goal as: "To provide information, education materials, and referral resources for celiac patients [on the conditions of celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis and their associated prescription gluten-free diet] through the utilization of the following resources: an internet web site and a monthly newsletter."
Pretty cool company!
