I can't believe it! Today, I went down to Maggie Moo's and filled out an application. Filled it out, got asked a few question and WHAM! I got hired! My orientation is this Tuesday 4-6 and training is Wednesday 4-9 and then the store opens Thursday! God really blessed me today!

I'm glad I get to work at an ice cream palor. I know there's still a lot of gluten around, but, it beats working where it's greasy and stuff. Those Wilton cake decoration class paid off!

Aww that's so awesome!! That's going to be fun!

I wish I could get a job, but being allergic to gluten, dairy, eggs and sensitive to oils...I dont know how getting a job would work for me :( LoL I would starve!

That's so awesome though. Do you think you'll be able to actually eat some of what you're selling? LoL. Even if you can't, that sounds like a fun job!

Hey that's awesome! Congrats!

This summer I'm gonna be working in the little health food store where I get my gluten free food from. I probably won't get paid that much but the owners of the store really want me to work there so I can help them with their celiac customers, since neither of the owners is actually celiac.

Good for you! A health food store would be an ideal place to work :lol: But I love Ice Cream too, Ash, is that ice cream gluten free?

Thanks guys! I'm so excited.

Run_4_Jesus: I'm glad you're gonna get to work at the health store! That's probably the safest place for Celiacs like us to work.

Kassie: That's great! I'm hoping it'll be the same for me once I start working there.

Peacenlove_girl17: I hate that your allergies are preventing you from getting a job. I have a friend that has a lot of those allergies too. Perhaps maybe you can get a job at non-food store?

For all who asked about the ice cream: I believe all the ice creams are gluten-free expect for the 'Better Batter' and 'Chocolate Better Batter.' Here's the link for the Allergens in their ice cream, the list is at the bottom of the page. They also have shakes. Plus, they have those gluteny cakes and malts too...

There is one thing I question: What in the world is Annatto?

Annatto is a coloring used in food and other products. It is derived from the seed pod of a tree. It is the color most commonly used to make cheese cheddar yellow (its natural color is white). It is common in other cheeses as well. It is gluten-free.

Thanks so much for the info, Peter! You made my day :) ---I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to eat any of the ice cream!

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
