Ok, I have never been a big Walmart shopper, actually I hate the idea of going into one. But things are starting to change for me. If it wasn't enough to have their Great Value brand items clearly marked gluten free...I found Gluten Free Pantry brownie and muffin mix in my local store! I about fell over, especially when I realized they were less than ...

Her second son is now on RX formula because he can not tollerate... -

ARCHIVED Kroger's New Labeling
almostnrn replied to almostnrn's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Ours has the gluten-free section also but these are REGULAR things in the store. It is definately a new labeling thing so not everything has it but I would imagine eventually there will be more and more. We noticed it in the aisle that has the salad dressings, I believe we looked at tartar sauce and stuff like that. They have the univeral symbols on the... -

ARCHIVED Frustrated In Clearwater, Fl
almostnrn replied to kvandorselaer's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
I know there is a Bonefish Grill in Tampa...Actually on their website there are some by Clearwater and St. Pete. Smokey Bones doesn't have a gluten free menu but their BBQ and sauces are gluten free, so is their cole slaw, broccoli, asparagus, apples and green beans. I have NEVER had a problem there and they always seem to be extremly helpful and accomodating... -
ARCHIVED Salon Haircare Product Questions
almostnrn replied to NoGluGirl's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I will tell you that I have had some reactions to the chemicals in the past but I can't say that it was celiac related. As far as products go, I only use Aquage products at home and my hairdresser does the same at the salon. Good luck and I hope you get to have your hair done!!!! -
ARCHIVED Kroger's New Labeling
almostnrn posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was cruising through Kroger the other day to pick up a few things and was shocked to see their new labels. It is clearly marked with the "gluten free" symbol on the front and then it states gluten free on the back. They now also have flyers posted in the store about gluten-free diets and have really made the push to mark products that are safe for us... -

Oh these are just perfect! Thanks so much for posting them. We are going to a football party tonight (GO BUCKS!!!) and I am in charge of bringing something sweet. With the cold damp weather we are having these will be perfect! -
Lori, Her stuff is great. I got it from Mustard Seed Market a few years ago and I'm really happy to see the link you posted since I now live in SW Ohio, it will come in handy for the upcoming holidays! Thanks!

I used to live up by Akron and Kathy's cookies are the BEST! Oh, just a note on Abuelos....The last time my husband and I ate there we were told by the manager that NOTHING is safe. I had been under the impression that there were safe choices there, he even went so far as to say that the chips and salsa wern't safe. We emailed their coroprate site and...

First of all CONGRATULATIONS to you Broncobux and Momma Goose!!! Also, thanks for the support! I did stay on the Lame Advertisement without any other problems and I quit 5 days ago. Its going well and for the first time in my life I really don't miss it. I am a little worried about Labor Day weekend....we are taking a mini-vacation to the beach and while... -
ARCHIVED Want To Quit Smoking
almostnrn replied to wowzer's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I am hoping some of you that are on Lame Advertisement can give me a hand here. I started taking it 6 days ago...and I am supposed to quit tomorrow, even though I have essentially quit already. I called the drug company, and did a ton of research about this med and if it contained gluten or not. So far I have only experienced one of the side effects (crazy... -
ARCHIVED Please Consider Writing Target
almostnrn replied to juliela's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
With more and more mainstream brands labeling their products gluten free I have adopted a new theory, If you label it I will buy it. For example I know there are several types of yogurt that are gluten-free but Yoplait now labels their safe products gluten-free so I will buy theirs...I feel like I should reward those companies that are jumping on the bandwagon... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Lists By Subscription
almostnrn replied to Moondanse's topic in Publications & Publicity
I have the Clan Thompson list on my pda and I use it all the time. Like you, I had problems remembering exactly what brands were ok for certain items I don't use all the time. I also use it frequently for resteraunts that are listed in there and what choices are the safest when we eat out. I love mine, good luck with your decision! -
ARCHIVED Newly Obtained Rash In Odd Place
almostnrn replied to ashley77's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I have outbreaks right on my pubic bone. The only treatment I've used is a gluten free diet but prior to my diagnosis of DH the dermatologist did check it out. Watch your shampoo and soap...although you aren't ingesting it I have found that it irritates my skin and makes my DH a little crazy. I know it is like the worst possible area to have a weird rash... -
ARCHIVED Dermatisis Herpetiformis (dh)
almostnrn replied to stomper's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I know this sounds silly but this was my award winning combo to help a bad outbreak. I originally figured out that it helped after my first biopsy. I was told to use straight vaseline on the biopsy spot and when I did I noticed that it was clearing up my elbow. I then started smearing vaseline anywhere I had an outbreak. Depending on how bad it was I... -
ARCHIVED How About A New Reality Show?
almostnrn replied to lonewolf's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Oh thanks for the laugh!!! I think its a wonderful idea and it would certainly clear up Celiac disease to anyone who wasn't clear about what it is! A couple of other ideas... -Frequent blood tests to check levels of all the important things like thyroid that were destroyed by undiagnosed celiac -Can't leave out that fun filled scope and biopsy routine... -
