My mom has celiac and reads this site regularly, so that keeps me accountable.     In fact, she is able to go to my user and read all of my posts!  It makes me think about what I type a little more since I know I'm not totally anonymous!

My favorite food while I was pregnant was quesadillas-melted cheese between two corn tortillas, with sour cream, salsa, and tomatoes spread on top.  I would use a pizza cutter to cut into 8 wedges, to make it easier to eat, like a pizza.  I ate about 2 or 3 of these a day while I was pregnant, but my intense craving for them went away when the baby arrived.

BTW, I had a beautiful baby girl on July 5th.  Perfectly healthy (and praying for no celiac gene!!), 8 lbs. 1 oz.  Even with all of my mistakes during my pregnancy with gluten, she had no problems at all.

Good luck finding that one food that will become your staple.  Whoppers were it for me my first pregnancy, but thank God that wasn't an option for me this time!!

I eat at Taco Bell all the time. The meat sauce has oats (!), how weird, huh? I always get the tostada, and the zesty chicken bowl without red strips or sauce. I have them add sour cream, although you may want to double check on gluten free status 1-800-tacobell. I have called before and they should be able to tell you all of the ingredients of everything, including allergens (I forgot to ask about sour cream, but I've never had a reaction). There are other options at the bottom of their menu.

Are there any sodas that contain gluten? I haven't found one yet, but just curious.

Did I hear correctly?  Are there gluten free Trix and Cocoa Puffs?  If that is true, I think I will buy 20 boxes of each before they change their mind and start adding wheat or malt again.  Someone please clarify-is it only certain varieties or old boxes or something?????  I'm getting excited here.....
