	ARCHIVED Question About Birth Controlpinktulip replied to Ashley's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications I use the patch which is the first birthcontrol I have never gotten sick from. Normal pills and such made me sooooo sick, but the patch it good and gluten-free.

	Last year someone linked or sent me a list and I can't remember the name to google it of gluten dree products that you can buy at like wal-mart and stuff.

	ARCHIVED Birthday In Portlandpinktulip replied to pinktulip's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease Thanks so much for all the recomendations. I actually won't be drinking because we're on convention and it's a no-drinking policy. THe ting that worries me the most is quick meals, as I often only had a little over an hour. Though dinner a few times we have (supposedly) 4 hours. Though I found a place 20 minutes by car to a sandwhich showp that has gluten...

	ARCHIVED Disney Counter Service Kids Mealspinktulip replied to ksgilley's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease I used to work for Disney on College Proagam and that is actually where I heard about Cealic (never knew one day I would be diagnosed) but I will tell you if anyone EVER gives you a problem about seeing anything or such go straight to guest services at the front of the park. I worked in the candy shop in MGM but all the candy shops get the same product...

	This weekend my cousin and I went to Zeas in the mall here in New Orleans and had an amazing experience. One of the reasons we went there is becuase there is very little gluten is used in. A fried chicken (which is the only thing fried) pita chips, buns and pasta. So it seemed pretty safe as most the the menu is rotisserie and grilled. It turned out to be...

	ARCHIVED How To Deal With Science Teacherpinktulip replied to pinktulip's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease I think the thing that scares me the most is the beer. It's so easy to spill and such and if it touches my skin it's horrible. I think I'm not so scared of me handling it, but being in a class with 20 something other people whose actions I can't control. We use to think it was exzema but now that I'm gluten-free it's gone.

	ARCHIVED A Few Questions For My Cookbookpinktulip replied to lorka150's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips I look for easy. And quick. Cakes, (chocolate espically)and cookies and such.

	I can't get it through my professor's head that I can't deal with gluten. I'm a junior in college and studying Biology this semester (first time taking a lab) and this week we're looking at wheat startch, and in a few weeks beer. I told her today I can't touch or ingest gluten and her response was wear gloves. I'm finally starting to just feel better and...

	I went to the Whole Foods here in New Orleans on Thursday looking for something quick (I was still in the middle of running errands.) And was looking at their salad and soup bar and the soups are clearly labeled on bottom what is in them. Their chicken and sausage gumbo was gluten free. It contained soy but nothing else and i double checked the ingredients...

	I'm not alone. I always knew it damaged teeth but omg. I had braces and had perfect teeth health wise before braces, I got the braces off and had pretty much a mouth full of cavaties (all had been under brackets). It's the most embarassing thing but to know I'm not alone helps so much!

	ARCHIVED I Have To Vent!pinktulip replied to ptkds's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs We loved the watermelon party too. But our testing was later in the year (between Mid-March through Mid-April). But we'd have sees spitting contest, like tic tac toe and such. It was great becuase it was healthy and we were outside!

	ARCHIVED I Have To Vent!pinktulip replied to ptkds's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs THose children are lucky. When I was in elementary school we got celery, carrots, apples, bananas, raisins. The last day of testing as a "treat" we had a mini watermelon party right after lunch.

	My dad made like a gumbo soup. It didn't have the roux and was soup like, but the floving was just like gumbo. I'll see if I can get the recipe, but think he just used the same floving and put them in water or some sort of broth. It was very simple. Made it on his lunch hour.

	Where do many of y'all shop? I go to Whole Foods, Winn DIxie and Wal-Mart, but I can't seem to find the foods many of y'all talk about. Kinnikinnick, Glutino and other gluten-free products are hard to find. Also looking for cheese it like snacks and such. Also (sorry, winded I know) the Envirokids cerals, any recomendations?

	ARCHIVED What Do You Do For Lunches?pinktulip replied to prinsessa's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs I work in a day care and the only allergy we have right now is a peanut and all of our school lunches are peanut free. We do have a vegetarian and his parents do bring his lunches and I heat them up in a microwave. Though that poor little boy doesn't understand because his grandparents sneak him meat when he stays at their house so the whole it will make...

	ARCHIVED Jekyll Island Georgiapinktulip replied to pinktulip's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease One of the dinners is buffet, seafood. (yuck) After living in New Orleans and eating thier seafood everything is bland in comparison. But as long as I stick to baked or broiled I should be safe. Lunch they said as long as I tell our server everything will be prepared gluten free and seperate. It's the other meals that worry me becuase this will be conference...

	My dad and I are traveling to Jekyll Island next week, I'm going for convention, he's going just to go. The convention is providing several meals for us and I indicated gluten free, but this is my first time traveling since going gluten free and am worried. Also we're on an island in a hotel and I'm wondering about the resturant options for the rest of the...

	ARCHIVED Disneyland Caters To Gluten Intolerancepinktulip replied to Looking for answers's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants I would write to Disney Land. I worked for Walt Disney World in Orlando and actully took classes every 6 months (3 hour classes) on keeping up with the latest in food allergies. However the hot water thing got started becuase people used to take the hot water and pour it directly into a babies bottle and then give it directly to a baby. At least that was...

	ARCHIVED Dumb People Suckpinktulip replied to vampella's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs I work in a daycare and while it is hard to keep children from eating things they shouldn't, we seperate children with allergies and intolerances at a seperate table that is bleached after every mean. Actually all the tables are but this table is never in direct contact of foods containined soy, corn, wheat or peanuts. One of the little girls in my class...

	ARCHIVED 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookiespinktulip replied to pinktulip's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips Dad loved both the cookies and the marshmellows, however I didn't realize he's watching calories. Oops. Oh well he's trying to figure out how to use a sugar substitute, which will suck because I'm allergic to artifical sugars. The ones I rolled in a ball came out perfect, and I'm making some more for New Years with the regular sugar. I'm gonna use chunky...

	ARCHIVED 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookiespinktulip replied to pinktulip's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips 1 cup of peanut butter 1 cup of sugar 1 egg. The ones that I rolled in a ball and then put on the baking sheet and flatten with my palm came out great. But the ones I did following the recipe ( drop spoonful onto baking sheet) are crumbly.
