<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Some of the things people ask about the GF status on the list are hard to find anywhere else except though the list. But many others that people write to ask about are readily available in many different lists that have already been carefully checked out and drawn up. Below is a list of some of the possible sources to check on the GF status of particular foods. Perhaps it might be a good idea for some of you to save this post so you can refer to it when needed: http://csaceliacs.org/ = This is the Celiac Sprue Society's site. You may want to order the 4th edition of their 89 page CSA commercial products listings booklet. It lists a lot of brand names of GF products, and it is a great help at first. A few celiacs do not trust the organization or the booklet implicitly so they phone and check out everything before they eat it, but it's a good place for beginners to start, rather than starting blind with no idea as to what may or may not be GF: http://www.gluten-free.com/contacts2.html#G = This offers numerous sites where you can check on just about anything, including some sites where you can order GF products. http://www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Spa/4003/gf-index.html = Another good site that has extensive lists of GF foods, medicines, beverages, etc. http://www.stokesrx.com/ = You can order Stokes book, A Guide Through the Medicine Cabinet. It will tell you whether most medicines have gluten or lactose in them. Or you can have them prepare GF or lactose free medicines for you. Thanks. -vance
