Cape Girardeau, Mo

Hi. I am both gluten intolerant and egg intolerant. This is probably a long shot, but is anyone familiar with being gluten-free in Cape Girardeau, MO? I will have to travel there on business and need to find ways to feed myself. I'm a little concerned about this because I will be working from 7 am until 7 pm, and I will not be able to leave to get food. That means I will have to either bring all my own food with me for lunch and dinner each day, or have food delivered. To me, this seems like a daunting task to have to feed myself like this for an entire week, especially because I will be staying in a motel room and won't have access to a home kitchen.

I have found one supermarket in the area that may carry gluten-free products, and I will be calling the store manager on Monday to see what they carry in the way of prepared foods like Amy's frozen meals. I guess I can plan to bring in things like yogurt, fruit, juice and some snacks. I am trying to avoid having to have a grilled chicken salad for lunch and dinner every night. I will try to scope out the restaurants for gluten-free food and what might be able to be delivered. Possibly I could purchase dinner items at night and then store in my motel refrigerator. I will be flying in, so I won't be able to bring a lot of things with me and will have to purchase everything when I get there.

If anybody has any knowledge of the area or additional ideas or suggestions, I would very much appreciate it.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      Initially I was going to re-post all of the threads that have people stating they drink or recommend RO water. There are just too many to post, so I'll recommend using the search feature here to find them all. There are currently 4 pages worth of posts with people mentioning or recommending RO water/filtration systems. Granted, some of the search results...

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      I could not agree with you both more. I still haven't bumped into my neighbor's mom to explain, but I am certain she will understand. I am in play it safe and error on the side of caution mode right now. I see no point in taking any unnecessary risk. Thank you both for your time and thoughts.

      British Coeliacs: Marks and Spencer's have launched a Gluten Free Colin the Caterpillar Cake.

      Brilliant news for British Coeliacs! Colin was launched in 1990 so I am fortunate in that I was able to try this amazing chocolate swissroll cake before my diagnosis. But the good news is he has now appeared in the Gluten Free aisle at M&S, and also is available home delivery through Ocado. https://www.marksandspencer.com/food/made-without-wheat...

For me, it causes major issues with my stomach and as mentioned, there is no way I will ever intentionally drink it again.  As we know, everyone's body is different.  I am certainly not looking for a debate, but do highly advise anyone considering RO water to do their own research. Consider starting with this Google search:  Is reverse osmosis water safe to drink long term?

      Insomnia help

      By cristiana · Posted

      Very helpful @knitty kitty.  Thank you.  I am trying to remember what vitamin so alarmed my GP and I have a feeling it was A or E.  I remember reading the pills contained well over the 100 per cent RDA of whatever the vitamin was. One thing I'd love to ask you that has always intrigued me.  One day when my anxiety was completely through the roof.  I 'felt the fear and did it anyway' - a phrase other anxiety sufferers may be aware of, which I found a powerful tool in my recovery -  and visited a friend's house, even though I felt so wretched.  For some reason I craved milk and drank two whole pints of milk in quick succession while I was with her - to this day I can't think why, because I don't usually drink milk 'neat' - I like it in tea or coffee, or hot chocolate.  But I distinctly remember within a couple of hours feeling absolutely fine again for quite a while.  I've often wondered was it down to this milk, which I've since understood contains quite decent levels of B12.  Would that have really worked so fast?
