Wil Wheaton (of Star Trek: TNG fame) has a sister who has celiac disease, and his Mom has started a new site, notevenacrumb.com.

See his post about her site here:

Supposedly CBS has agreed to air a PSA on celiac disease!

My mom asked to go to the Cheesecake Factory for her B-day next week. Last year I went and had a plain but good (=didn't get sick) meal, but I wanted to know if anyone had been there recently. (FYI last time I had the Thai lettuce wraps with no sauce on anything, it was really boring.)

As some of you know, the makers of Redbridge put production on hold to reformulate their beer so it could be sold in all 50 states:

In short, the alcohol content was high enough that in some states it would have to be re-labeled as a malt liquor beverage, which they didn't want to do. I got my hands on some of the new brew (at my local Kroeger). It has less calories (133 versus 160), and a lighter taste.

I should state here that I"m a Guinness/porter type of person, and it makes me sad that I can't find a dark gluten-free beer that doesn't taste like candy (Green's). The main reason I like the new Redbridge is that it's slighly more bitter and a lot less sweet. Granted it's a little lighter tasting, but that just makes it go down a lot faster. Any others try the new formulation?

(PS, for those who like a hoppy beer, get your hands on a St. Peter's Sorgham ale, it's my all time fave, but at $6 a bottle it's a rare treat. I found mine at Whole Foods.)

I"ve come back to post on the DH board a few times, but when I go onto other areas, people have been replying to threads that are 5 or 6 years old. I am afraid that newbies will see this and get very confused about what is correct and what is not. Stumbled upon a hot dog discussion where it was plainly listed that Nathan's are not gluten-free, but as of recently they now are gluten-free. I would really like the mods to add a post to the top of old threads stating that the info is old and may be out of date, or else (which I know won't happen) to clean house and get rid of old, out of date information. I"m begging you, please consider this! You have the a great resource but you're making it more confusing than it needs to be.
