Panera

Panera apparently has pulled their allergens menu. I went there yesterday and asked to see and was told there was no such thing.

spoke to the asst manager who told me I was confusing them with another restaurant. Finally after giving up and ordering a 2 dollar soda instead, another manager admitted that they used to have one but they pulled it due to inaccuracies.

anyone up on this issue?

also, am I crazy to even considering eating at a place called Panera BREAD?! I have had their salads before and don't seem to react badly, but maybe

I am being glutened quietly from cc?

About 2 years ago, I got an email reply from them. They listed some things without gluten ingredients. They also said that, if its a store that does the mixing - not just the baking (some stores mix the dough for others to bake)Flour is everywhere. He suggested it might not be good for me to even get coffee.

I have heard the samething. Its really just such a high risk of cc due to all the bread products and the flour in the air that it just is not in their best interest for them to say it's gluten free.

The Panera by my house has a book that lists ingredients for each item on the list along with all the nutrition info similar to what would be on the label of a package. You could ask to see the ingredients for it, I usually due because I have a couple allergies and it's just easier for me to check. Just an idea if you really still want to eat there. I choose not too because of the high risk of cc.

thanks great info. will have to find out if my store does the mixing as well. I will also go in the back and see how the food line dishes out the salad ingredients. if they use the gloved hands that they have been handling all the bread then I am a no-show from now on.

I'd be terrified to eat there!

I eat there quite frequently. Carefully, but frequently. But, then I'm not all that sensitive. :P

I've eaten there twice and haven't had a problem. Both times I had one of their salads. But I'm not a super sensitive.

Thinking backing Panera would always seriously mess me up and I didn't know why (before My gluten-free diagnosis 2 years ago). The ONLY thing I have and will eat there subsequently are their smoothies. You can watch them being made with just stony field yogurt, fruit mix and ice.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
