     Are you getting out all your holiday cards? I read that the glue on the envelopes do not contain gluten. However, I did a bunch of them the other day and got sick. Well, I now found out that the glue is derived from corn. My throat was actually hurting. And the next day, my colon told me that it was not too happy. It may be best to use a sponge!

I've actually been eating these for a while. Van's is good about being gluten and corn free. These are yummy. What is even more important to me is that they are portable. I throw one in my purse for when I'm hungry and there's no safe foods around. I love the chocolate chips. They also make a peanut butter bar but I haven't tried that flavor yet.
I just found this at Walmart, gluten free noodles by DeLallo. I figured these would be good since the company already specializes in italian food. It was very good indeed. I did have to boil the noodles just a minute longer than the directions to get the texture that I wanted. They also make other pastas such as macaroni. It was very good. I went back and bought 3 more packages for future uses.

Warning; flying fish eggs contain corn syrup!

     Here is a warning to all that are trying to avoid corn and corn derivatives. Flying fish eggs are produced with corn syrup. No wonder they taste so yummy. I found this out the hard way. I thought that these yummy sushi eggs were a healthy low fat treat. I ate them and got sick as a dog. So I googled them to see why. Not only do they contain corn syrup, but also soy sauce, for all those avoiding gluten. It's a shame that now I have to avoid this; but it is best to know what we are actually consuming.
