Miscellaneous Notes:
--------------------
Lipton Margarines and Spreads: TCCSSG member Dan Powell passes along
some updated information he received from Lipton: "All of our
margarines and spreads are gluten-free. Lipton manufactures the
following brands:
Brummel & Brown
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
Imperial
Mrs. Filbert's
Promise
Shedd's
"Because products are formulated for use by a majority of consumers
and not specifically for those on restricted diets....our product
formulations may change at any time....more products/varieties may
have been added....changes in existing products may have occurred.
Therefore, we suggest reading all ingredient labels carefully."

Benecol Products: TCCSSG member Diane Chadwell recently contacted
Benecol and shared with us what she learned. Diane wrote: "Benecol
is a 'margarine' spread that actually helps reduce one's cholesterol
[but only in conjunction with a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet--Dorothy
Vaughan, our group's dietitian advisor]. The 'regular' spread is
quite tasty, but I don't like the 'light' version (doesn't melt well
or taste as good). However, both are gluten-free (GF).
"Additionally, they now have other products. I know ALL of their
dressings are GF because I called last week to check since this is new
in my grocery store. I believe they make bars also, but these are NOT
GF."

GF Summer Camp in Washington State: The Gluten Intolerance Group of
North America will go to camp at the same time as the American
Diabetic Association, July 5-10 and 11-14, 2000. This offers our
children with both celiac disease and diabetes a chance to have a
summer camp experience with all the support staff possible. These
sessions will fill fast. Camp brochures will be available later this
month. If you would like information, please send e-mail to
<[log in to unmask]>; write to GIG of NA, 15110 10th Ave. SW, Suite A,
Seattle, WA 98166-1820; call 206-246-6652; or fax 206-246-6531 (fax).
GIG will also have some scholarships available; they are currently
working on funding to help cover the airfare for some of the
children.<1>
