My favorite is Delight Gluten Free Magazine. All the recipes are created for the magazine, and are tested in their test kitchen. The are also life style articles for living gluten free, conversion charts, and great travel articles. The index lists every recipe in that issue with which of the other main allergens are in the recipe, so that you can easily...

I forgot to add - check out the blog site celiacchicks.com for great NY info. Also there is a book "The Gluten-Free Guide to New York" that is great to carry with you.

HI -- we just returned from a weekend in NY last night. Ruby Foo's in Times Sq has a gluten free menu and the waiter was very helpful. I carried my own packets of gluten free soy sauce to use on the fried rice, so I didn't ask if they had any. My daughter and I shared an order of chicken fried rice and a fabulous salmon dish and still had food to take...

I know it is difficult as a college student, as my daughter was diagnosed while in college. But at least there is gluten-free beer now - several brands in fact!!!! Redbridge is probably the easiest to find as it is distributed by Anheuser-Busch. There is also Bard's Tale, Ramapo, and New Grist. As for the pizza, you can make your own and add wonderful...

Celiac is genetic, even though there are no other family members diagnosed at this time. I was the first in my family to be diagnosed 10 years ago. At that time it was considered "very rare" according to my doctor. Our daughter suffered for years with migraines, starting at age nine. There was never any mention from all the doctors she saw about testing...

I'm so happy that you saw this segment. This really shows the impact that we are starting to have on the marketplace. If you ever get to NY, make sure to check out Risottoria. It is a small very fun place in the village. The breadsticks are amazing and so fun to have a pizza and beer out!!!

On the Money, a show on CNBC did a segment tonight on celiac and the gluten-free market place. The link is Open Original Shared Link It is great to see an article on the monetary impact that the gluten-free community is starting to make.

I buy beans at Whole Foods and mix them also half & half, as I am trying to get off caffeine (and I really miss it too!!). Whole Foods buys the raw beans and roasts them in the store, without any flavorings. So far it is going fine.

The main staples you will want are several different types of rice and a good quality all purpose gluten-free flour, then lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. The more you stick to fresh foods, the healthier you will feel. I like to use the Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose gluten-free flour blend for all my baking. I substitute it in most all of my old recipes...

HI - I do not read this site very often and I just saw your post. But if you travel for business, I assume you will be making many trips to NY. There are many great places in NY. A favorite is a very small place in the East Village called Risotteria. They have gluten-free pizza, breaksticks, desserts, risotto, and gluten-free beer!!! It is tiny and very...

My daughter's were done at the lab at our local hospital. It took 3 or 4 days for the results to be called into our doctor. If they are not back before you leave, maybe give them a cell number, or try to call your doctor after the amount of time he tells you it should take to receive the lab work. If you are concerned about taking gluten-free food with...

The Whole Foods by me will print out a listing of every gluten free item they carry in the store. Ask for it when you enter at the customer service desk. It is wonderful!!! You will be amazed at all the wonderful and beautiful fresh produce items!!! Pick up the Cinnamon-Raisin Bread from the Gluten Free Bakery (usually frozen) to have for breakfast. The...

Try adding coconut, blueberries, or something you enjoy to make them more moist. Many times I add alittle extra liquid (but you don't need to do that if you are adding a juicy fruit). The liquid could be more water, coffee, coconut milk, soy milk, whatever pleases your taste buds.
