Hi! I love the Lays chips, I eat them whenever I find myself needing a carb b/c I am sick of eating salads all the time or if I am on the go. They run a close second to my all time favorite Cape Cod Potato Chips-I am a native Cape Codder! Do you like corn chips? I always have a bag of tostitos or comprable corn chip on hand to munch on too. For...

They do spread quite a bit, so make them sort of on the smallish side and with lots of room in between. When I take them out, I usually let them cook a bit more on the cookie sheet. Surprisenly the crumble factor on these is not too too bad. Must be all the fat from the PB. When I moved into my apartment last year, I literally ate these for two days straight...

What brand of sauce was it? I have this problem too, I always feel gassy, bloated and sick after eating rice pasta and sauce, and its usually because I can't find any sauces that dont use soybean oil! Bertolli sauces actually use olive oil instead of soybean oil, which would make sense, helloooo Italian!! A few Classico ones are also soy-free, as well as...

Hi All! These are my FAVORITE cookies! My sister found the recipe for me a few years back on Epicurious.com and if I ever need to bring a dessert or am hosting a party I always make these. They are now my non-gluten free friends favorites as well. Some tips. Use the thickest pb you can find, and pref the crunchy kind. I am a fan of JIFF crunchy or Skippy...

Hi! I ate at Mangiano's for a company lunch. Prior to arriving I found out that the vendor who was taking us out there, had called ahead and ordered family size portions of everything-and I couldnt have one dish he had selected. I thought I was to go hungry, but once they told the waiter and the manager came right out and spoke to me about options. They...

I am always on the lookout for more drinking options other than wine or mixed drinks. There is something about drinking out of a bottle at a bar, I miss it so much! I am a huge fan of Magner's the Irish Cider, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Harpoon, the proud makers of a good IPA and UFO, and brewed locally in Boston, have made their very own...

Hi! For something not too expensive and pretty main stream, try Mangiano's. I always stayed away from this place because its a pasta chain so obviously gluten heavy. But when I went there to eat for a work lunch, I was pleasantly suprised that they offered gluten free pasta and a list of sauces I could and could not have. They brought out a salad just...

I too went back to a gastro after being diagnosed with celiac disease 3 years prior. I had felt after my diagnosis but something still wasnt right. He recommended a biopsy because he was worried that because I never had one to begin with and only got diagnosed by blood work, that I wasnt really a celiac. And of course it came back negative. I was upset...

Hmmm maybe stick with the Tostitos scoops? Or bite sized rounds? Those would be easy to tell apart. I don't really have a preference in terms of tortilla chips, but recently I have been getting into the blue corn ones--somebody makes a really good Blue Sesame corn chip, and Miguel's brand also makes a great one. But for me Tostitos always had the best balance...

Hi! Whole Food's generally has a good selection, and even their own line of gluten free stuff called The Gluten Free Pantry. Great cookies and scones! But they carry gluten-free pasta, frozen breads, and everything is cleary labeled. I frequent the one in Brighton, but there is also one in Cambridge and one off of Mass Ave. near Symphony Hall. I also...

So since I have been diagnosed, chips and salsa have been my go to snack food. Corn chips are delicious and have always been safe for me. But now Tostitos have have come out with chips made with flour, kind of along the lines of flour tortilla instead of corn but for chips. I think I need to buy a bag, and open them up just to see what they look like, and...

I was totally put off by this article. It barely touched on the symptoms or the struggles of people with celiac disease. Eating even small traces of gluten entirely interupts my life, its not just a nuisance. And by saying that gluten free products are practically on every shelf, it makes it seem like its not big deal. Well its a big deal to me! I mean...

Hi alll, I am writing on behalf of my stubborn sister. I have been diagnosed with celiac disease for 5 years now, though none of my family appears to have it, and out of the four of them only one has been tested (It came out negative supposedly). So my older sister has been having bloating issues for awhile now. Every time she drinks a lot of beer, eats...

Hi everyone! So my mom alerted me to an article in my hometown paper about celiac disease. It centers around a family having to de-gluten their Thanksgiving meal because somone was diagnosed a celiac. It's pretty accurate aside from wrongly stating that maltodextrin is unsafe(isn't made from barley in the US apparently). But it's a cute read and I am...
