Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 I really feel that it depends on who in the company you talk to and how you approach the situation. There have been several products that are GFCF that I contacted the company about and without stating 911 emergency they indicated it was not GFCF. What I find helpful is being friendly and request to speak to the person who handles customer relations, manufacturing, product support etc. ThenYou need to get their name and title and ask them for all the ingredients and if they are made on separate lines. There are alot of questions to ask since every child is different. Also, what I do is get their address and send them a thank you letter and request that they contact me if things change. They really respond to letters and usually send a list of their GFCF products. If I doubt someone I contact the Celiac group and double check them. I hope this doesn't confuse you even more. We must remember all kids are different and your child might react to something that my son doesn't. If the person is unsure of themself I sometimes state that I don't want to go the emergency room and then they connect me to an authority figure who does know the answer.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 How come when one person checks into the GFCF status of a product, they learn from the manufacturer that it is GFCF, but when someone else calls and says it is a " 911 emergency " , it is not? I wonder if saying " 911 emergency " is making these manufacturers say it might have gluten just so when your kid reacts to something else, you don't sue them. At this point, if someone came to my home and asked if my food was " 911 emergency " GFCF, I'd say no. From various posts recently: >Yes we used Miralax without much results. It is gfcf - our pedi GI said it >was safe - >Sorry to say but our GI spoke to the company and it is not GFCF! Our GI told >them it was a 911 emergency and we needed to know 100% and they stated that >they could not guarantee. > >We just finished our prescription of BIAXIN...we have been using enzymes and >didn't notice any problem w/ it...but will check into something else if the >need arises again. > > Biaxin is not GFCF, our pharmacist contacted the manufacturer months >ago and they stated they could not guarantee that it is GFCF.
