Loading ...We at Custom Choice Cereal were thrilled to see a very well researched article on celiac disease and living gluten-free in last Tuesday’s Health Journal. It was great to see that such a big paper as the Wall Street Journal covered this important topic in such depth.
Despite author Melinda Beck’s thorough research, the article incorrectly listed envelope adhesives, distilled alcoholic beverages and vinegars, ketchup, ice creams, and lipsticks as products that celiacs should avoid. It speaks for the integrity of the Journal that they printed the following statement of corrections in Saturday’s paper:
“Envelope adhesives do not contain gluten, and the distillation process removes the gluten from alcoholic beverages and distilled vinegars that are made from gluten-containing grains, according to registered dietitian Shelley Case, member of the Celiac Disease Foundation Medical Advisory Board. Ketchup and most ice creams are also gluten-free, and the amount of gluten in some lipsticks is too small to pose health problems. A Tuesday Health Journal incorrectly included all these products among those that people with celiac disease should avoid.”
We at Custom Choice Cereal are time and again amazed how the gluten-free community spots these tiny little mistakes and almost instantaneously corrects them. We were told by MarylandCeliac that envelope adhesives are gluten-free and corrected this in our blog entry.
Thanks for helping us learn every single day!
