    Hello again everyone! Finally got around to adding a post - I've been hybernating I'm so excited to hear about Dominos jumping on the gluten free bandwagon! I was just craving a non-gourmet pizza the other night but had no idea Dominos was an option! Pizza night tomorrow for sure! I'll let you know if I have any reactions - had trouble with Hell...

    Oooh i've heard about that bread! I haven't managed to find it yet though Does it have soy in it? I'm not that great with soy...would make an exception for extreme deliciousness though

    Hi Imanistj! When I went to the UK a few years ago, I was given a gluten free sandwich on the plane with bread which was made with wheat starch (considered gluten-free as all detectable gluten is removed during the refining process). I ate it even though I was wary of the wheat and had to make a mad dash to the plane toilets not long after! I'm...

    Hi! I haven't written on here in aaaaaaages (i've been lurking hehe ) but I got so excited about some bread I found that I just had to shout it from the forum rooftops! It's from a gluten-free bakery in Sydney but they deliver around eastern Australia. It's called Choices Gluten Free (Open Original Shared Link) and they only make gluten-free stuff...

    Thankyou so much for all the ideas!! There are some really good ones i'll try this week! I do enjoy cooking when I have the time, but everything seems to need reheating to be nice. I might try using a thermus some time and see if it stays warm by lunchtime. Donna - Where do I buy Tai Kitchen noodles? They sound perfect! Thanks again!

    Hi everyone! I've recently started working and am lost as to what to take for lunch! I can't have gluten, dairy, soy, onion or garlic which makes things tricky, and i've realised the work microwave glutens me so I can't have anything heated! I'm getting depressed trying to work out what on earth to take! I've got very high cholesterol too so it also...

    Hi misswingbat! I just went to my GP and told her about my symptoms and i wanted to get allergy tested. I took a list of food suspects and so she ordered 4 RAST tests (you get blood taken at a blood collecting place like sullivan nicolaides which then goes to a lab to do the testing, any more than 4 RAST tests a year and you start paying lots for them...

You're welcome to email it amongst yourselves, i don't mind at all i'm thinking of starting a website to post all the info i gather coz i discover new stuff all the time! I just got tested for allergies to tomato, nuts, seafood, and dairy so it'll be very interesting to see the results next...

    Regarding lolly bananas, I buy mine online from here: Open Original Shared Link or here: Open Original Shared Link (go to candies, then shepherd works) The packets are $4.50 each but you have to pay shipping too which would bump up the price, but they are delicious!

    Wow, i haven't looked here in a while, i've stopped receiving notifications so i thought it must have died but here it is blooming! yay! I've got a lot to look back on! I've just discovered this online shopping site (could have been mentioned in the pages i haven't read yet) at Open Original Shared Link . They only sell aussie products which includes...

    I spent one night in Amsterdam last year and had dinner at the hotel we stayed at. The guy at the hotel restaurant spoke english quite well so it was easier than it may be for you. I gave them my restaurant card full of info and that was very helpful, would you like me to send it to you? It's a mix of one I saw online and some of my own stuff which was translated...

    I tried the Patties lamingtons and meat pies the other day and they're the best i've tried, delicious!! I'm going to try the sausage rolls next, haven't had one in so long! I went to Coles the other day after not going to a supermarket in ages and I was nearly crying at all the beautiful food in the gluten free section, they have heaps more than when...

    Just putting a few cents in about the vitamin deficiency From what i've read, the villi do most of (if not all) of the absorbing of vitamins and minerals for the body, so if they are damaged, then their ability to absorb is reduced and you may not get all the nutrients you need - so its not really related to the consistency of the stool at all Of...

    I just had a cinnamon doughnut! soooo good!! they taste like real ones, yay!!! Not sure if they're coming to NZ but you could email them, their website is Open Original Shared Link Fingers crossed!

    I'm not sure about the mentos, the writing is always too small to read lol, i'm sure you can contact them somehow As for Pataks, they clearly write any gluten containing ingredients and say "gluten free" on the curry pastes near the nutritional info, I'm sure their other products would do the same, delicious rogan josh i must say! I had a banana...

    I've had those little kinder chocs with no problems (double check the ingredients though), they're delish!

    I just got a newsletter from the gluten free shop and they now have some Livwell brand cakes and apple pies in, I had some of these in the UK and they are delicious!! Think i'm simply going to have to stock up despite trying to lose weight lol

    Thanks for all the chip reccs! I bought the woolies ones, straight cut and wedges, i cant seem to get them crispy though, probably need to coat them with oil I'm a sensitive lass, so the dextrose from wheat would give me problems which is a shame because I recall mccain were great. Thats so exciting about Patties Pies, I hope it is Australia and New...

    Good evenin' everyone, Does anyone know what brands of frozen potato chips/wedges we can have? Last time I checked my arm went numb from being stuck in the freezer checking ingredients, didnt have any luck though. I had nandos chicken the other night, it turns out that they cook all the chicken on the same grill so the gluteny bbq chicken residue...

    Twas my pleasure Phyllis, its so nice to be able to help others out with my info! Regarding the dairy: In europe, my friend and I were mostly given the same meals as they were made both gluten and dairy free to save time. She is able to eat gluten so she had a lot of dairy free sandwiches or salads for lunches. She had restaurant cards too which made...

    Hello fellow travellers! I went on a holiday to the UK and Europe for 7 weeks over christmas from Australia and had written all this info in the Aussie thread in the international section. Someone (gfp) pointed out that I should put it in this section too so i've just copied and pasted the following info-rama from my posts : i've been a busy bee on...
  23. Aussie Peg
    A very good idea gfp! i'll start a topic in the travel section and copy it all in

    There are no guarantees about the pub food but i never had any problems except for the incident with the crumbed onion rings (i said calamari in my previous post but i meant onion rings). I dont think they really use any gluteny things with the roasts except for the sauces which they would make separately. I emphasised that i couldnt have flour and bread...

    Hi Georgie! England was surprisingly easy to cope with, rather expensive though but at least i was well fed We mainly stayed at bed and breakfasts so i took gluten-free cereal with me from tesco and had that with hard boiled or poached eggs, some places even got gluten free bread in for me! For lunch, i made sure we had a marks and spencer nearby...
