    Celiac is considered a disablity under the ADA (American Disabilities Act). I suggest you go ahead and apply for Social Security benefits. The worst result is they tell you "No". It is my understanding that "No" is generally the first response for Social Security. You will then need to decide if you want to pursue the issue further.

    I like Darn210's words. It is simple and straight forward to understand. I would also keep it simple if anyone asks for additional information. Something like. "My dietary restictions mean that I have eliminated wheat, oats, rye and barley from my diet". Good Luck with the interview.

    You have to read the ingredients but most plain tomato sauce is gluten free.

    I am not sure about Mexico but it can be done in Europe. I assume by backpacking you will be staying in youth hostels and taking the train. You do have to stop at the grocery store everyday. In Europe these are generally in the basements of department stores. I did this thirty years ago and lived mainly on fruit, veggies, yogurt and roasted chicken (I...

    I am sorry to hear Aveeno customer reps are not trainned well. I always use Dove products. I usually start a conversation or e-mail with one of the two following statements depending on who I am talking to: Is your product gluten free? Does it contain any wheat, oats, rye or barley? OR Does your product contain an wheat, oats rye or barley? ...

    I have never heard of Kozy Shack Soy Yogurt. I didn't see it on their website. All the Kozy Shack products I have see are gluten free. I don't eat anything with wheat starch in it. I suggest you contact the company and ask how they determined it was gluten free.

    Any Lara bar is good if you like the flavor in general. I like the lemon and chocolate one (except coffee). I don't like coffee, therefore I don't like any of the coffee or mocha flavored bars.

    I am sorry to here that your in-laws are not supportive. I do not feel I am either trouble or a burden to anyone else. I do this by being prepared and proactive. I make whatever food arrangements are necessary. The two strategies I use the most are 1) Always have food with me. This includes having a full meal with me if I am visiting or a snack...

    Enjoy Life makes a dark chocolate bar. It is very good. I think they must be new because I have only started seeing them at Whole Foods within the last couple of weeks. They passed my husbands taste test and dark chocolate is his favorite.

    That sales clerk was very rude. If you can, shop somewhere else write the owner as to why they now longer have your business. The sales clerk is paid to help customers find what the want NOT pry into your life.

    Pizza on soft corn tortillas - Place two corn tortillas on a plate, spread pizza sauce on top ( I like Enrico's) add shredded cheese (your choice, I use sharp chedder cheese) and toppings. I only add pepperoni but I am sure other toppings found on pizzas can be added, although some may need to be precooked. Put another corn tortilla on top and microwave...

    I have read the ingredients on the back of many brands cat treats in the pet store. Almost all of them contain wheat and/or barley. My cats live without treats.

    Has anyone else been eating the cashews? Someone eating bread or any other gluten) and then dipping their hand in the cashew jar/can can easily CC the cashews.

    The last two weddings I went to I brought my own meal that did not need to be reheated. I brought it in a soft sided lunch box with blue ice (we came from home).

    I thought of one more if you can have plain rice vinegar. It is a variation of German potato salad. Boil red potatoes until done. Slice and chill in refrigerator for several hours. then Coat with the following dressing: 2/3 Sunflower oil 1/3 plain rice vinegar Salt, pepper, garlic powder and ground oregono to taste. I also use this dressing...

    For the rice use 1/2 water and 1/2 chicken or beef broth to cook it in along with salt and pepper. I use the Pacific Foods or Whole Foods 365 brand chicken broth that does not have all the preservatives added. Mix olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder together. Slice potatoes (finger, red, yellow or russet in order of preference) and coat with...

    You might consider arriving a day early and stocking up on specialty gluten free food for the whole trip. Below is a store in Rapid City that looks like they carry gluten free food. I would suggest you e-mail them. Open Original Shared Link Another option is to contact the hotel and ask if they will accept a delivery and order gluten free food online...

    I don't eat anything with wheat grass or barley grass. In theory they are gluten free but IMO there is much to high a risk of CC. There is also the risk that a small portion of the wheat or barley grass has matured into wheat or barely that does contain gluten.
