  1. Happy Birthday!!!!!!
  2. I use refried beans and baked beans as side dishes on a regular basis. Also, I make a lot of meals that can can be put on top rice or rice pasta such as spagetti sauce. Below are some of the meals I make on a regular basis: Hamburger Patty with side of beans, rice or potatoes(cooked various ways) and sometimes corn on the cob. Tostadas (Corn torillas...
  3. I agree with Missy'sMom. Homemade salad dressing is easy. Below is the Salad Dressing I use: 2/3 Sunflower Oil 1/3 Plain Rice Vinegar Salt, Pepper, Ground Oregeno, and Garlic Power to taste. This salad dressing has the advantage of not needing refrigeration. I have this dressing in my purse in a two ounce leakproof bottle.
  4. I have been gluten free for many years. I get just sick enough to know when I have ingested gluten. If this happens several days in a row I get sicker each day. Everyone is different.
  5. I like some to their items and dislike others. I like the snack bars, chocolate chips, chocolate chip cookies and snicker-doodles. I did not care for the granolas very much and did not like the "No Oats" oatmeal cookies at all. Since it it expensive I don't buy a lot of their products.
  6. I am going to have to find a reason to travel to San Diego from Orange County. Thanks for the information. I hope they open one near me soon.
  7. I have frozen and reheated Tinkyada Shells and Macaroni without a problem. I have done this with Mac and Cheese, Spaghetti Sauce and only the pasta.
  8. I make my own spaghettii sauce/with meat. It is quick and easy. I make extra for lots of leftovers. PM me if you want the receipe. You can also search online for a receipe.
  9. If I cook, it is gluten free. This applies to all meals. One of the things I make for Thanksgiving are Crustless Pumpkin tarts. Just follow the recipe on the back of the pumpkin can minus the pie crust , pour into individual foil tart pans and bake, add Cool Whip.
  10. Happy Birthday.
  11. The WholeFoods I shop at carries Kozy Shack.
  12. In addtion to the other suggestions, you can purchase at the pharmancy a special pillow for sitting on. The pillow has a hole in the middle to help relieve the stress when sitting.

    ARCHIVED Fiber?

    Metamucil powder and capsules are gluten free. The waffers are NOT gluten free. Also consider beans. A 1/2 cup of non fat refried beans has 8 grams of fiber.
  14. Tupperware also has leak proof 2 oz containers. I have used non leak proof containers and ended up with salad dressing spilled in my purse. If I am unsure of the container I put it in two ziplock sandwich bags.
  15. I always bring my own salad dressing in a 2 oz leak proof bottle. I buy these bottles at the Container Store. This eliminates any problems with salad dressing when I eat out.
  16. In my opinion all airports have very limited choices. I always assume that I will not be able to find anything to eat beyond security. I pack food for 1 1/2 to two meals. I pack the extra food because sometimes flights are delayed.
  17. Enjoy Life has three flavors of bars, cocoa loco, caramel apple and cranberry. They are made in a gluten and nut free bakery.
  18. I have a gluten limited household. Gluten items are cereal, bread, rolls, and Doritos. I buy my son one muffin and one cookie from the bakery each week. Recently, we turned the area where you would put a side board or buffet into a mini kitchen. A small refrigerator, a large kitchen cart with drawers and cupboards, and small microwave. All gluten...
  19. In time you will not feel alienated not eating the same food as everyone else. If I am cooking the food is gluten free otherwise I bring my own food and let whoever is providing the food do as they please. This is what works for me but I know other people use different solutions. A possible comprimise for the wedding shower would be to have the Portuguese...
  20. Call your local WholeFoods. Ask for the Customer Service Desk. The Customer Service Desk should have complete listing of gluten free foods and should be able to look this up. They have print outs to give to customers.
  21. Mission Tortilla Strips might be an option. Ingredients: Ground Corn Treated with Lime, Water, Vegetable Oil (Contains on or more of the following: cotonseed oil, corn oil) Sea Salt Allergy Information: This product is packaged on equipment that also packages products with flavor seasonings that contain milk. I buy mine at Costco and the bag says...
  22. I have no objeciton to the Girl Scouts selling cookies. The profits go to a worthy cause. Most of the cookie customers are already purchasing gluten snacks. However, it is my opinion that any Girl Scout family with health concerns relating to the cookies should have available alternatives such as a donation, storing the cookies somewhere else or other...
  23. I buy my raw chicken at Costco. It is the best price if you are willing to buy in quanity. I freeze it in the portions I usually cook with. In California they carry Foster Farms chicken.
  24. Ummmm, I wonder if the sales reps for the companies that make gluten free food should start stopping by Doctor's offices and leave gluten free goodies.
  25. I wanted to make sure I did not get a clueless GI when I needed a routine screening colonscopy at 50. I contacted the local Celiac Support Group. They provided me with serveral names. I also, looked on the sites of the two university teaching hospitals within driving distance. The sites had a page for each doctor with their education, backround and interests...
