    The bread is very good, although 7.50 for a loaf that's half height. She also sells kaiser rolls, hot dog rolls, onion bread, herb bread, cheddar jalapeno, and I expect more as they are requested. The cookies are OK, $1 for a normal sized cookie, $5 for 6; $9 for 12. The cupcakes are wonderful! But here's the real news: Pepperoni rolls! Pierogies...

    My store JUST did this. Last time I was there the stuff was in a gluten-free section, today it is on the regular baking row. I found a manager and told him he might as well shelve it with rat poison and I certainly won't buy the product when it sits next to flour. He acknowledged that the flour bags leak flour dust and said he could see my point, but corporate...

    the PF Changs near me bought new plates a couple of years ago, and brings out the gluten-free entrees on the old plates. So I know when they think it's gluten-free. They've gotten me once or twice but it has been mild, so obviously minor cross contamination. I also tend to take the "order it special" approach (no scallions or such) just to make sure it...

    I buy the small tins of chicken (pop top) and take them with the noodles when I need a shelf stable option. I like the Thai noodles, but I need MEAT to feel like I ate a meal (call me a spoiled American) I traveled extensively for a while and the Thai noodles and My Own Meals were my safety net.

    My PFChangs has also gone to the "old" plates with PFChangs name on them as the gluten-free plates. I still special order mine as well -- without scallions since I don't like them and it flags the dinner as mine not someone else's ginger or lemon chicken. Someone on here orders the lettuce wraps with the rice noodles on the side for the same reason.

    I mix TJs gluten-free granola with Mesa Sunrise. Mesa Sunrise is boring by itself and TJs Granola is too sweet. Or I eat my Perky's nutty rice with yogurt (like I used to eat my Grape-nuts). Now, for an amusing thought, picture the middle-aged woman in a business suit in the Marriott Concierge lounge with her box of gorilla munch having breakfast...

    Brownie mix is dairy, soy, peanut, tree nut, corn and wheat free.

    the pre-made, heat and eat Organic southern style grits (which did not impress this southern girl) have water, organic white corn meal, salt, and tartaric acid. They are specifically labeled gluten free. And there is not a facilities or equipment warning which TJ's usually does if appropriate. I did not react to them, I just didn't think they had much...

    One of the things I like about TJs is that a lot of their sauces and stuff are gluten-free. They don't necessarily say so yet (they are on the gluten-free list that you can get at the front desk) but TJs is also starting to label all the gluten-free stuff with a G dot on the label (like Wegmann's does). So I can buy the piccatta simmer sauce, for example...

    I called ahead and spoke with the head of the cafeteria before my hospitalization, he said they knew gluten-free and it would be no problem. They have a celiac clinic, so I believed him. He lied. No one came and spoke with me, so I couldn't trust the broth. Once I was on solids, they brought me rice krispies for breakfast. Lunch and dinner were pretty...

    Gluuteny also has bread that is pretty good, cookies, brownies, cupcakes -- unfortunately (for my waist) everything I have tried there had been good!

    They will also add broccoli to the spicy chick or lemon chicken if you like some veggies in your dinner.

    It is gluten free. I eat it all the time.

    I had been going to several different gastroenterologists for 6+ years with no help. My brand new GP said "sounds like celiac, but the tests are expensive and not always accurate. Give the diet a try and see if that helps" I did and it did, within weeks I was 200% better. When I inadvertently did a gluten challenge (WHo knew spelt was wheat? ) I had...

    Have any of you pittsburghers had any in-patient experience with AGH? I'll be in for surgery in late december and want to know if I can trust their kitchen.

    I have had massage therapists tell me to drink plenty of water before and after a massage (especially deep tissue) because the increased blood flow to the muscles and working them can release toxins from the muscles and make you nauseated. Don't know how true it is, but one of the medical types should chime in soon.

    they told me if you call ahead, they'll put them aside for you

    Trader Joes sells mini peanut butter cups that are gluten-free.

    I had a chocolate cupcake! It was wonderful. I also got a loaf of the cinnamon poundcake. I was afraid to try any other samples.

    I was out of town over the weekend and they're closed on Monday. I'll be there tomorrow afternoon to check it out. Their prices seem a little high but not too bad for gluten-free.

    Thanks, but I go to school in East Liberty. I only have to detour a block over to Murray instead of Shady... I drove by today and it says they'll open Sat at 2:00 "for real this time". On Murray Ave, on THE BIGGEST Jewish fast day, the bakery opens. What a way to wow the neighbors! (Website has the same info) I'll be out of town, but the rest...

    We stayed at Animal Kingdom lodge. Everything was great! I ate at the counter service place near the teacups in the magic kingdom... The manager spoke to us, walked over to the register to order and was on his walkie-talkie to the kitchen to make sure they saw the allergy info Then he helped us find a table (I was in a wheelchair because of a foot...
