    That's Redbridge. I think people have to try all they can find and see what they prefer. Some really like New Grist, for instance, but I think it lacks flavor and is rather watery. (But then I don't like most American beers, thinking them lacking in flavor and watery ) I guess I would drink it if it was a hot day and nothing else was around, but...

    Nearly everyone diagnosed with "celiac" will have one or two "celiac genes." However, some get it without the genes. Also, you can have a problem every bit as severe from non-celiac gluten sensitivity and not have the genes, too. So a negative result for "celiac genes" will just tell you that you probably don't have classic celiac. It won't tell you...

    Having the gene doesn't mean you have the disease. It merely means that you might get it. As the information from Enterolab said, there is a "predisposition." However, a rather substantial proportion of the population has "celiac genes" and doesn't have, and won't ever get, celiac. There may be other genes involved that haven't been identified and/or...

    No, I've seen people report results saying they aren't sensitive to casein. The lack of severe reactions following something doesn't mean anything. If you are having casein all the time, you could have built up a tolerance to it or are in a constant state of reaction. See how you react to the stuff after you've been off it awhile. Of course...

    I've seen a casein-free beverage list. But it was designed for those who put their kids on Gluten-free Casein-free diets, so no alcohol Open Original Shared Link I know Bailey's is out; at least some of Godiva's liqueur's would be too. I think you need to read the ingredients for any combo type product like this. I don't see why straight rum would...

    For the most part, yes, but it depends on the restaurant. Certainly places that are Asian-oriented or have lots of fake meats seem to have lots of soy sauce, tofu, seitan, other sauces that rely on soy beans, soybean oil, you name it. Vegetarian Indian places seem to have more possibilities. The food allergy oriented place I mentioned seems to be unusual...

    I have your intolerances, plus egg. And I'm vegetarian. I manage to eat out, but I find that my list of possible restaurants is less. You really have to do your research -- see what places the local celiac group recommends if any, checking online gluten-free dining searches (like: Open Original Shared Link ; here is a list of menus -- Open Original...

    Yeah, it isn't as if they could give me more than what they did. I just didn't feel inclined to say, "Oh well, everybody makes mistakes ... don't worry about it!" What is it with restaurants? On my trip last night, I went to a restaurant and I mentioned no gluten and that we were vegetarians. I think the gluten was handled right. But they brought...

    This obviously isn't exhaustive, but it is the best list of beverages I've seen: Open Original Shared Link

    Amaranth is another possibility.

    Hmmm. I thought that doctors were more enlightened in Australia about all this. Too bad you had to suffer for years and be told it was nothing. I don't know that it makes any difference if you are a "bad celiac," a regular one (or whatever the opposite adjective is), or a "mere" gluten intolerant. The problem is serious enough for all to do the only...

    Just wanted to say, hi and welcome. I love your name! I do wonder how much of your eating disorder might have been due to what you were eating. Particularly since wheat was so difficult to give up -- about withdrawal symptoms, see: Open Original Shared Link I used to have an eating disorder myself. I got over it by finding the foods that were healthiest...

    I would urge you to consider eliminating dairy from your diet. My family used to get all sorts of sinus infections, strep, you name it. Several times each year per family member it seemed. End of dairy ... end of problem. You can research for yourself the link many have found between dairy and such infections and decide for yourself. My kids (well, one...

    hathor replied to hathor's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Maggiano's says right on the menu they have gluten-free pasta. I talked directly to the chef to order and he wrote it down. He certainly understood the significance. He just made the wrong pasta despite all that. Once the mistake was brought to their attention (that is, I asked the waiter to doublecheck if I had been given regular pasta), they swooped...

    Thanks, guys. I was needing some sympathy from folks who understand. If there is one bright spot, it is that I KNEW I had been glutened. I immediately went home & did what I could to offset the symptoms that I knew would be coming. So I ended up not feeling as bad as I have when I've discovered accidental glutening from my later symptoms. (My...

    I will repeat for emphasis what has already been said -- do NOT go on a gluten-free diet if you are going to have either blood testing or biopsies done. The results will no longer be valid. It is possible to undergo withdrawal from gluten: Open Original Shared Link

    How can it be a cult if we are afraid of drinking the Kool Aid I really appreciate how these guys just knew that the prevalence of celiac is different from that indicated by study, statistics in countries where regular testing takes place, etc.

    Well, I guess as an egg-intolerant person, I should pipe up here and say that it IS a possibility However, you just started the diet. Folks frequently have some ups and downs in the beginning as their bodies adjust. I had a major problem three weeks in that I'm sure was unrelated to anything I ate. (I react to things by constipation -- what I had...

    The flavor of the two brands of hemp milk I've tried were vastly different. Was it, perchance, the Hemp Bliss stuff you tried?

    Just to give everyone a head's up. Even places that folks say are celiac-friendly can screw up. Last night we went to Maggiano's. We talked to the chef. I said I wanted gluten-free pasta & a sauce of just veggies, with no dairy. My husband said he wanted the same sauce, but the pasta could have gluten. The chef wrote it down. He brought our pastas...

    What kind of toothache is it? There could be reasons other than a wisdom tooth coming in wrong. It could be a wisdom tooth is coming out just fine (which they can do, without problems, but it can hurt when the skin breaks), a cavity, or soreness because you are grinding your teeth from tension (being told the teeth should come out, coping with sickness...

    If you go here Open Original Shared Link you can find a link to suggested pet foods. Unfortunately, I can't come up with a link to the page itself. But if you look on the left, you will see it.

    I think there are two things going on. 1. People want to treat their physical problems with a pill or some such. They would rather be sick than change their diet. There seems to be a strong psychological attachment to certain foods. 2. Some people think that their doctors know best. If the doctor tells them it is IBS or nothing to worry about,...

    Yes, that rings a bell now that you mention it. I remember the name was inappropriate given the product. Awful, awful stuff
