My family and I returned about a week ago from a cruise on the Carnival Liberty and they did a great job taking care of my daughter. The hostess in our dining room (Ramona in the Golden Dining Room) was incredible and quite knowledgeable about gluten. Each evening before we finished dinner, she would bring over the next night's menu so my daughter could...

Uno's Pizzeria has finally delivered on their long awaited gluten-free pizza. I got an e-mail from them (see below) last week telling me that cheese and pepperoni gluten-free pizza is now on their gluten-free menu. My DD tried one on Saturday and loved it. Note that the e-mail states that these are only test items and won't necessarily be added to their...

My daughter got really sick from eating at the Bugaboo Creek in Burlington, MA. They told me it was because they were busy which I told them was never an okay excuse. If they cannot safely accommodate people with celiac/allergies, then they should retrain the staff until they can. We won't go back, particularly when there is an Outback Steakhouse nearby...

I took my DD to the Boynton Restaurant today for pizza and found out that they put Wheat Starch in it. There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the gluten-free menu stating that they use small amounts of wheat starch in the pizza, and yet they are certifying it as gluten free. The waitress even told us about it before taking our order to be sure we saw it...

I live in Massachusetts and recently discovered a new gluten free popcorn snack from a company called TT Buds. They have two flavors: Sweet and Salty and Sweet and Cheesy. Both flavors are awesome and they say gluten free right on the back of the bag. I have been able to find them in Market Baskets as well as some other smaller grocery stores. For those...

Hi: There is an Italian place in Merrimack that serves gluten free pasta. We have eaten there once and had a great meal and my DD was thrilled to be able to order off the same menu as the rest of us. They can substitute gluten-free pasta in most dishes, unless they are breaded or fried. Of course, I still asked tons of questions, but the staff seemed...

There is also a place in Arlington, MA called Celia Cakes (www.celiacakes.com) that makes excellent cupcakes. Her vanilla ones are the only vanilla cake that my DD has really liked since being diagnosed. I believe all her stuff is special order, but she has lots of flavors and the stuff is really worth it.

Hi: I was at the Boston Children's Hospital Celiac Christmas Party yesterday and there was a vendor there that was giving out samples of their new gluten-free Clam Chowder and it was delish! I really couldn't tell that it was Gluten Free. The product is Kettle Cuisine and the chowder is only one of the new soups that are coming out. The woman said that...

I've made pasta salad before using the Dr. Schar fusilli or penne and it comes out great. I do not have to eat gluten free so I know what regular pasta tastes and feels like and this is extremely close, to the point of not being noticeable to non celiacs. I make a caesar chicken pasta salad that I take to parties, bbq's etc. and everyone loves it.

I had heard about Rafferty's Pub in North Conway, NH because they have a very extensive gluten-free menu due to the owners having a child with celiac. I planned a weekend in North Conway so my daughter could eat at a restaurant that had gluten-free appetizers and fries and desserts etc. There were 3 families that went and we were so disappointed in the...

The skim milk worked great. This loaf came out better than almost any other loaf of gluten-free bread that I've tried to make from scratch. It rose nicely and baked to a golden brown and, best of all, my DD loved it. I was able to slice the loaf into thin slices and it didn't crumble at all. Thanks!

Would this recipe work with skim milk? I never keep whole milk in the house, but assume that this recipe was originally made with whole milk. Would the difference in the fat content in the milk make a difference in the taste/texture of the bread? Thanks.

Open Original Shared Link Open Original Shared Link I tried these recipes and thought they were fablulous. We liked the donuts better than the jelly donuts because most of the jelly oozed out while frying. However, the recipe is simple to make, they roll out well and taste just like the old fashioned home-made donuts my mom used to make. We put powdered...

Try Raffertys Pub in North Conway. Apparently the owners have a child with celiac so they have an extensive gluten-free menu. We haven't tried it yet, but the menu looks wonderful. www.raffspub.com.

If you really want to make your daughter a special oreo treat, try this recipe. Take a bag of gluten-free oreos (I use the same amt. as in a normal sized bag of real oreos--I think the regular bag is maybe 18 ozs.) and put them in a food processor until they are ground into fine crumbs. You use the whole cookie, even the cream part. Once they are finely...
