    Interesting to hear about microwaving. The bag of Kinnikinnick crusts I have says nothing about that, but I also have no trouble with cooking in the oven without defrosting the crusts first. I put the toppings on the frozen crust and cook in a preheated 350 oven for 15 minutes (on a perforated pizza pan.) Michelle

    Doesn't sound like lactose intolerance to me. My lactose reaction is gut wrenching pain, cramping and bloating followed by the sudden need to run to the bathroom. More often than not, as soon as I "sit down," the need (and pain) stops, without any "progress". As soon as I leave the bathroom, the need strikes again. I liken the feeling in my gut to a brick...

    I'm eating Dibs right now...love 'em! Are you sure that the hives are from something she ate? It could very well be from coming in skin contact with something she's sensitive to. Sunscreen? Bug spray? Pollen? My daughter just developed severe eczema...it's that time of year again...hot weather, sun exposure, sunscreen, lots of pollen in the air...

    ARCHIVED Swimming Question

    Michi8 replied to whattodo's topic in Sports and Fitness

    All the stuff that people put on their skin ends up in the water. From the perspective of gluten, it's probably a big non-issue. For me, it's the yuck factor. Apparently any foaming that happens in a hot tub is because of the lotions, etc that people introduce to the water. That's why you're supposed to shower before entering a public pool or hot tub...it...

    ARCHIVED Swimming Question

    Michi8 replied to whattodo's topic in Sports and Fitness

    Aside from the health issues with chlorine, there shouldn't be a problem with pools. If anything, I'd be wondering about hot tubs, because of all the stuff that ends up in the water (sunscreens, lotions, etc). Michelle

    Oh my gosh, I love greek yogurt. Even better if you're eating it in Greece. I remember having some for breakfast with honey and fruit when we were in Santorini (almost 14 years ago!) So yummy! Michelle

    You could make it from scratch. A google search came up with many recipes. I've always had luck with Canadian Living for great tasting recipes: Open Original Shared Link Michelle

    It could be a migraine. I get a lot of pressure behind my eyes after I eat certain things...I suspect, for me, it could be msg and/or sulphite intolerance (or intolerance to other foods?)Kinnikinnick Wolfsbrand almond cookies give me an instant headache along with bloating...because they are made with pea protein and starch, that's likely one of my triggers...

    I think you may need to find yourself a city boy who can take you away from all the wheat fields. Michelle

    If airborne wheat/grain causes asthma attacks for you, you really shouldn't be knowingly exposing yourself. I've witnessed an asthmatic friend end up in hospital due to being exposed to wheat during harvest...pretty scary, especially since this happened on our trip to Ukraine and she had to go to a state hospital.

    That's good to know. Thanks for posting the info! Clinique has ingredients lists in a book at their counter as well. The book is sorted by ingredient...ie, any product containing triticum vulgare (wheat bran) would be listed under that heading. I found the book to be a good reference for checking to see if my favourite Clinique products had any of the...

    Have you checked out this website yet: Open Original Shared Link They sell all sorts of bento boxes and related items. Michelle

    I was a bit frustrated about this myself. I had originally bought a cheese pizza from them that had no instructions...called them and they gave the me the instructions over the phone. You can find cooking/preparation instructions for all their products on their website: www.kinnikinnick.com I suspect they don't print the instructions on the bags because they...

    The list has Benadryl elixir, but does not list the caplets. The ingredients list on the caplets box has "starch". Before I call the company to ask about gluten free status, has anyone confirmed whether this product is gluten free or not? Thanks, Michelle

    I spent good money on this product, only to find it has the taste and texture of Milkbone dog biscuits (sad to say I know what dog treats taste like...tried them once when I was a kid! ) This granola was rock hard and awful tasting. I can't understand how Enjoy Life could pass this off as food! Maybe it helps with keeping teeth clean and healthy like Milkbones...

    I use these crusts and have good luck with them. I think you may be cooking them at too high a temperature. As suggested by Kinnikinnick, I cook them at 350 F for 15-17 minutes (or more if the cheese isn't completely melted) and my crusts come out fairly crispy with a slightly soft inside...definitely not like raw dough! I like to cook them on a pizza pan...

    I just saw the Kitchen Aid commercial style mixer at Costco: Open Original Shared Link They have red, black, white or silver to choose from, and the price is good. ($299 US or $345 CAD) If you buy or order before May 31st, you can get a bonus mixer attachment as well: Open Original Shared Link Michelle :-)

    I'm sorry to hear that the tests weren't done as you expected. Since you didn't get the answers you were looking for, you could try to find another doctor to help you solve this puzzle. I'd suggest finding an alternative health practitioner to get a different perspective. However, you could just try to figure more out on your own too. Have you tried a full...

    Just a guess, but maybe they are saying 100% turkey because there are no turkey by-products (scrap bits) or other meats with it. Unseasoned ground turkey would probably be pretty bland, and the wheat & soy probably help keep the burger from falling apart. Michelle

    Incorporating blue into a girl's room shouldn't be too hard. All of our bedrooms have blue carpeting with white walls and it works just fine in my daughter's bedroom along with her fondness for pink things. I found this bedding from Pottery Barn Kids that has all sorts of colours including blue: Open Original Shared Link Michelle

    There really is no magic shot to make any allergies go away. Some people have some success with allergy shots for airborne allergens, but with food allergies it's a different story. Best way to treat food allergies is to eliminate the offending food from your diet. That said, by all means go to an allergist to confirm whether or not this is a true allergy...

    A pilates workout will do wonders for your back. It's all about building your core strength and flexibility, which is important for proper alignment and supporting your whole skeletal system. Michelle

    Keep in mind that Lara Bars are made with raw fruits and nuts. This can make a big difference in how your body tolerates the ingredients (and could potentially cause stomach upset.) I, for one, have been very hesitant to try these bars because I am allergic to many tree fruits and nuts in their raw form (almonds for example) but do not react to them when...

    Michi8 replied to ginap73's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    As others have responded, they are very accomodating. You also should have no trouble bringing your own food in. We went a year ago (pre-gluten free) and brought in a soft-sided cooler full of food each day (water, lunch and snacks). Security checks bags that are brought in before you can enter the park and we never had food confiscated. The cooler fit nicely...
