hidden gluten and casein

[Guest guest]

You asked

What are the types of non-food products I have to watch to make sure no

hidden gluten or casein is sneaking in?

Janet,

I had the following post from A saved in one of my compu folders. I

also made sure our hand soap, dish washing liquid is GFCF also. Hope

this help some.

Gluten is darn sneaky... I find casein is more obvious and easier to

find.

But that gluten!

Here is what freaked me out early on but I was able to target and

eliminate:

- Shampoo (I had an oat based shampoo originally) See the GFCFdiet.com

list

for acceptable ones

- Suncreen (I used the most popular PINK kid sunscreen bottle - it has

GLUTEN.) I now use Banana Boat for Kids

- Play-doh - now replaced with Crayola MODEL MAGIC or the

/Karyn

Seroussi recipe

- Finger paints - I use the Rose Arts Finger paints - they are great

- CERTAIN BRANDS of baking powder - I use Miss Robens Corn free baking

powder and www.specialfoods.com baking powders

- Vinegars - we love balsamic vinegar at our house and Jeff cannot have

it

so I switched to apple cider vinegar

- Rice Dream Rice milk -we all know that story... now I use Pacific Rice

Milk

- STICKERS AND STAMPS: Yup, they have gluten. We don't let Jeff use

those.

ALLERGIES AND PHENOLS also are a problem for us. These are the ones we

eliminated:

- Frontier Vanilla NON Alcohol brand (just mentioned earlier today) - I

found Jeff reacted poorly to the plain, alcohol based vanillas from

McCormicks. I had to switch to Frontier NON alcohol brand.

- Phenols: Bananas, apples, (switched to pears and papaya,) No to

peanuts

(switched to Almond butter.) No to chocolates (casein!)

- COMMON ALLERGIES: Corn and soy. (Try going two weeks without these to

see

if your child reacts to them.)

Take care

A jeffs mom (still trying to make sure all is gluten free - even WAX

paper!!)
