If I would not have been kicked out of school I probally would have

Are we still talking about dumb people, good, I hope so........

Went out of town today and we ate lunch at Don Pablo's. I asked them if they have a gluten free menu, as I have heard that they do. The manager said, "Oh yes, but that's on the internet, we don't have that here at the restaurant". Jim and I just stared at her in disbelief.........She said "Is anything wrong". I said "Oh, yeah". If I wasn't not pooped (ha, I made a funny), I would have gotten on my high horse.

Hey B-- go easy, I live in the south and if they did not build a bridge to the next county, we'd all be chasing our tails. We go to family reunions to find a date. ( I'm from "away", my blood is clean).

Okay, I've got another story. Today, I thought I would call the people who run food services where I work and ask if they knew what I could eat. (My schedule is screwy on Thursdays and I'm tired of eating cold leftovers - they don't clean the microwave at work so I can't use it). I asked the woman "What do you have that is gluten free?" She said "You want free food? :unsure: "

Around Christmas a couple of years ago I had an order of Ener-G (gluten-free) stuff delivered to my office, which I rarely do. I work on first floor and specifically told order taker at Ener-g to show my address with " 1st Floor" written on it. The box did show 1st Floor, but the delivery guy was just used to bringing stuff up to the second floor, he didn't notice it on the box.

The package came in a couple of days before Christmas and the head receptionist from the 2nd floor called me to tell me that my package arrived, just as she was telling me, a co worker who is always looking to cheat on her weight-loss diet and always scrounging for food then complaining she's overweight & goes to weight watchers took my box and told the receptionist that she was bringing it to me. Well, I got off that phone fast and went upstairs and to my surprise the co worker was walking away from me , she was not walking in the direction which would take her to the first floor. She was bringing it to her office. I intercepted her and said "oh, thanks, that's my box." and gently grabbed the box from her. She nervously laughed and said, "oh, I thought it was a box of goodies 'cause the box said 'foods' on it." (our suppliers send us stuff to eat around the holidays and she always is the first to grab them for her Department. It's a company joke.)

But this was no joke for me that she was stealing my husband's gluten-free foods. I would have liked to have seen the look on her face when she opened it up and found gluten-free Ener-G bread and gluten-free cookies. She probably would have tried them.

Holy Mackerel -- I cannot believe the nerve!! I think you were VERY gracious by saying "Oh thank you. . . ". I think that might have been one of those "bite my tongue" moments for me . . . . .where I usually don't end up biting my tongue enough.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
