    I can promise you without a doubt that Rice Chex, Corn Chex, and Honey Kix are all gluten-free. I eat them everyday without incident.

    Never tried it, but I highly recommend almond butter if they don't bother you...

    i've had several boxes without any problem. I doubt cc is a problem, they've put too much into this gluten-free line too be lazy about something like that.

    Trader Joe's carries outstanding gluten-free, casein-free english muffins. toasted with butter they taste as good as i remember thomas'. and handily enough - there's a new Trader's in Brooklyn, on Court and Atlantic. Plenty of other great gluten-free items there as well...

    Yes, I would say it's extremely unlikely that you were glutened by kinnikinnick. In fact, I'm not sure I could name a company I trust more. But the good news you've just gotten a new clue about other intolerances you might have.

    I visit LA often and I'm always shocked at the small number of gluten-free dining options. I frequent the Sensitive Baker for treats, but would love somewhere I could reliably eat out with family. I'm sure that in such a health conscious city there must be good options, I just can't seem to find them. Any suggestions from locals?

    Just got this email from Uno's Customer Service. I asked her specifically about the NY area, but it seems like they'll be everywhere next week. Sweet! ---------- Thank you for taking the time to inquire about our gluten-free pizza. Our plan is to roll them out to all our restaurants on Tuesday, January 13, 2009. We are currently in the process of training...

    the problem I have with Larabars is they're crammed with insoluble fiber. I believe they're gluten-free, but if you have a delicate digestive tract, you may have trouble with large amounts of dates, nuts, and raisins regardless of allergens.

    i have frozen it before and it sorta works, but it's not great. i only drink Almond Breeze (best flavor IMO), and after freezing it tends to seperate and looks a little dicey. the taste is ok, but a little weird.

    Slightly off-topic, but Ian's gluten-free, dairy free pizzas are excellent. The best I've found for Gluten-free Casein-free eaters! As far as chicken nuggets go - I think Bell and Evans are far and away superior to any others i've tried.
  11. bklynceliac
    i eat the plain all the time and haven't had problems. I don't eat the flavors though b.c of casein intolerance.

    I used to get brain fog very badly before I went 100% Gluten-free Casein-free. However I was told by one of the leading Celiac experts (a member of Dr. Green's team at Columbia) that brain fog has no relation to Celiac. Anyway, mine went away when i had been gluten-free for a couple months. But I also think a lot of it had to do with under-eating. I was so...

    Yikes. Sounds awful. Anyone know any celiac-friendly dentists in NYC?
  14. bklynceliac
    yeah, for me the hard question isn't what do you have (gluten intolerant, celiac, wheat allergy, food issues all work depending on the audience and how long a conversation i want to have), but people always want to know "what happens?". I try "I get really sick", which sometimes does the trick. If pressed (which for some reason happens often) I use "it's...

    i think some yogi teas have been messing with me too. now i only drink twinings are Tazo. A little pricey, but well worth it.
  16. bklynceliac
    whole foods much better selection, trader joes much better prices. I have found very few items at my trader joes (nyc) that are explicitly labeled as gluten-free. And the lines are insane.
  17. bklynceliac
    yep. but we're dealing in likelihoods here.

    I don't think there's much to the "need to get it out of my system" argument. If I'm having a bad attack and need to medicate with pepto or gluten, it can stop it in its tracks, not just delay the inevitable. If offenders really just need to get out of your body, you would get the same D once the immodium had worn off. But that doesn't really happen. In my...

    agreed, if lots of milk in your coffee isn't giving you fits then I doubt either casein or lactose is your problem. Also, the symptoms classically are much more related to digestive problems (pain, bloating, the d) than anything in your throat or lungs. I would look into other ingredients.

    to a previous poster - Pringles are not gluten-free and should be avoided. Man they're tasty though. I eat the plain Lays Stax all the time and have no problems. I don't touch any of the other flavors because of casein though.

    my vote goes to Open Original Shared Link can't speak to oil content, but their french rolls are amazing! Fast ship and reasonable prices too.
  22. bklynceliac
    This really surprises me. I've had great experiences with the Legal at Chestnut Hill. I would definitely contact corporate, as I know each branch is told to be very careful about allergens and are well trained in how it's supposed to be handled. If they're screwing up it's because of laziness or carelessness, which is not acceptable. Sorry you're not feeling...

    I've never had Kinnikinnik (doesn't seem to be big the Northeast), but my vote goes strongly to Gillian's French Rolls. Can be used as rolls, sandwich bread, hamburger buns, english muffins, and the taste is far and away the best I have found. I can't buy them fast enough. Oh, and they're Casein-free too, so great for a variety of customers.

    Gas is a big problem for me too. Not as much the passing of it as the retention in my system which causes a lot of pain, bloating, and uncomfortability. Two tips I have: 1) Avoid all carbonation. Sodas and such make it much worse for me. 2) Try Phazyme soft gels. I buy these things in bulk. They don't fix the problem, but they definitely help. Only...

    Went into the local shoppe looking for Redbridge, which they didn't have. However, I spoke to a very intense beer guy at this very intense beer shop (Bierkraft in Park Slope, Brooklyn for any locals), who told me that all major market beers are actually gluten free. He said it had to do with the anti-bacterial filter they're passed through being way too small...
