Wendys - frosty, chili, some of the salads. Meat patties (burger without the bun) Caution here - I watch like a hawk at wendys cause more than once , I saw them take the meat off the bun to put it in a tray. I just say : excuse me but it needs to be right off the grill otherwise my son/daughter will get violently ill.

comfort foods - corn chips with melted cheese and salsa to dip

ask chef at restaurants if they are knowledgable about gluten free - and what they can offer you that is not cross contaminated etc.

chocolate, glorious choclate - caramilk, jersey milk, crispy crunch (at least in Canada)

Don't know about the restaurants. Other than PF Changs and Outback, who both have gluten-free menus.

Here's some mainstream snacks though

Cool Ranch Doritos.

Cheetos

Lays Stax

Fritos

Reese's PB Cups

M&M's (all but the crispy kind I believe)

Butterfinger's

None of the crispy rice chocolate bars are gluten-free in the US (they add barley malt). Might have to go to Canada to get some...

Outback Steakhouse, PF Changs, and even some Old Spaghetti Factories have gluten free menus. Outback's Chocolate Thunder from Down Under is a flourless brownie . . . so you can eat that!

Good luck!

Okay, so I just realized that Nantzie posted this information right before I did. Sorry! I skimmed her post too fast!

Bonefish Grill, Cheeseburger in Paradise, Maggiano's, Carrabas can also accomodate gluten-free.

Grilled chicken salad at Chick-fil-a -- without the croutons and without the sunflower seeds, but you can use the tortilla stips. Their waffles fries are also okay.

If you ever go into the city, there are some great options. One of our favs when we visit is Rissoteria in the Village. Gluten Free Pizza & breadsticks!

see thats funny u asked, i was just asking my mother the same question today, my chef here at school had said something about it, but I think i can have it, i have to call my doctor!

does anyone have any problems with whey?

I do not have any problems with whey. Whey is dairy so if you are avoiding dairy (many people do especially when starting the gluten-free diet) you will have to watch out for it. However, if you are just talking about gluten, whey is gluten-free.

Seems to me you you would either need to avoid ALL dairy--or none. Or am I missing something?

Many celiacs are also intolerant to casein, the protein found in cow's milk (and in whey). (Enterolab automatically checks casein at the same time in their full celiac panel - www.enterolab.com )

Awesome restaraunt is Outback Steakhouse (mentioned above as well) - it's expensive but they have a gluten-free menu that tastes great!

Oh okay! We have Baldo's here in the bay area of CA. But the name is just Baldo's. I think its family owned here too, but they have all over Northern CA, so I thought maybe they put one in NY! lol. :P

:) You can also go to Trader Joe's in Merrick and Oceanside. Fairway in Plainview is the best for gluten-free food shopping. Wholefoods in Manhasset is also good. I would watch out for Cafe Baldo in Wantagh I got sick after eating there. Good Luck

I just saw this thread.

Mama's in Oakdale is AMAZING!!!!! There are a few Mama's in Suffolk, but it's the one not affiliated with the others. You can get the address off the GFRAP website.

B Well in Plainview has a lot of good products that you won't find everywhere else.

Sweet Karma bakery in East Meadow that sells bagels and english muffins from a woman, Joan. They are the most incredible bagels. This is one of my favorite products.

This is not on Long Island, but my favorite bread for sandwiches is from a place in Chester, NY (up by Woodbury Commons) called the Gluten Free Bread Basket. You can order from their website and they will ship.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      By trents · Posted

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
