    Hi - I'm going to be in Downtown Baltimore next week. I'm looking for reastaurant recommendations in Downtown near the Inner Harbor. Seafood restaurants especially - I would love gluten-free crabcakes!

    Ingles has a RD on staff who is very responsive and can likely answer your question. I've never not gotten a reply from her. Open Original Shared Link

    I just saw this the other day too. We only do fresh tofu every once in a while so I haven't tried it. Except for the flavored tofu Wildwood products are gluten-free: Open Original Shared Link. The veggie burgers also look a lot like Moringstar Farms - definitely look like they stick together better than some of the other gluten-free ones out there...

    I am taking a cruise on Holland America in a few months and am curious how your recent experiences have been? I've read quite a few reviews on here and other sites but many of them are older so I'm curious if anyone has gone in the last year or two and what kind of experience you had. We are on the ms Nieuw Amsterdam and I'm curious how the service is...

    I guess that was my concern. It just seemed so invasive given the fact her blood work was positive.

    It does stink. It took a while to learn not to trust a lot of processed foods. You might want to call Tyson and tell them about it. Some companies will batch test the product to see the gluten content and share it with you if you ask them to.

    Positive bloodwork is a diagnosis of celiac. I'm not sure false positives can happen - however false negatives are very common. It is odd to me that a GI (or more than 1 in this case) would think they need to scope a toddler unless she is having other problems outside of celiac. Did they give you a reason for doing it? (like wanting to assess damage...

    LOL I don't blame you. If it's important to get a formal diagnosis for your kids then yes you need to put them back on gluten and see a Dr. as soon as you can (the longer you keep them gluten-free the harder it will be to get a proper diagnosis). I don't have kids so I can't speak to how they diagnose the little ones but I assume they do a blood test and...

    Richard is correct but I've seen both wheat and barley in stocks very recently - the barley didn't surprise me becuase I've noticed that for years in Trader Joe's brands but I have never seen a stock with wheat gluten it until last week. College Inn brand chicken stock has wheat gluten. And, at least one of the Trader Joe's stocks has barley in it...

    No need to feel like a crazy lady Everyone feels that way initially. It's a huge process of trial and error so don't get discouraged. It can take several months sometimes to really see a difference and think about this way - just ask yourself are things better or worse than last week or month and over time if it's working you'll see progress. As for...

    Welcome! I think you just described most people's experiences with doctors - even the adults You should definitely find a good celiac (and food allergy) Doctor in your area. It certainly won't hurt to have them checked out and it is odd that your entire family seems to have similar digestive issues. The constipation could be caused by an intolerance...

    Check out the Atlanta Gluten Free Dining Club (I think that's the name) on meetup.com - they have monthly events and lots of information on where to find local products, restaurants, doctors, and gluten free events. There is also the Metro Atlanta Celiacs group which maintains lists of gluten-free friendly restaurants and knowledgeable celiac doctors among...

    I have to respectfully disagree with GFinDC on the OTC cow thyroid supplements. (And I know that you mentioned you don't have Hashimoto's and I'm focused on Hashi's in my post here). Nicole, I'm not trying to confuse you or complicate things for you but it's best that you work with a physician and determine if you have Hasimoto's or some other thyroid...

    You might be sensitive to coconut or you might have a problem digesting it because it's high in fat - not sure. I tend to have problems with coconut milks and stuff with a lot of additives in general but I don't think it's gluten related. I think my body just doesn't tolerate it well. I will say that I trust So Delicious more than Trader Joe's brands...

    Your symptoms are very similar to mine and I was diagnosed with both within a few months so it was hard to tell which symptoms were caused by which disease. You'll find that Thyroid problems are very common in celiacs and most people improve significantly once they are properly medicated and on a gluten-free diet. Try to find a celiac knowledgeable Endocrinologist...

    I am pretty sure most of their stuff is gluten-free but like Patti said call them and ask if you have questions. I've personally never seen Garnier shampoo or conditioner with gluten.
  17. MaryJones2
    I don't know of any off the top of my head that contain gluten but anything is possible Here is good info: Open Original Shared Link - It mentions marcus but says they didn't get back to them so you might give them a call.
  18. MaryJones2
    Actually that is a really good one because it's pretty much free of gluten and all 8 of the top allergens too. It's also nice because it has plans with food for longer fasts. If you haven't seen this the plans are here: Open Original Shared Link The Dr. Oz 48 hour cleanse is pretty good too.
  19. MaryJones2
    Chebe maybe? It's unique because it's not crumbly. I've made calzone's with it and it holds up really well so I would think would work for fried pies.
  20. MaryJones2
    I eat there often and have never gotten sick. You have specifiy 'allergy' when ordering regardless of protein style, etc. so they know to prep it differently. The one I visit prepares the allergy orders in a seperate part of the restaurant. I also never order the onions for the reasons mentioned here.

    I don't really have measurements but I do a lemon thyme dressing: fresh thyme, lemon juice, minced garlic, dijon or coarse, olive oil, salt and pepper. Sometimes I add apple cider vinegar or other herbs - just depends on what I have around.

    It's amazing how attached you get to the little buggers. Especially the ones that are attached to humans. One of mine used to follow me everywhere I went

    MaryJones2 replied to Lisa's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Lisa for me the obvious ones were weight gain (even though I was generally in the normal to underweight category), high cholesterol, dry skin/hair, hair falling out, extreme fatigue and 'brain fog' plus a lot of the other symptoms on the list. I found out right about the time I was diagnosed with celiac so the brain fog and fatigue might not necessarily been...

    It's common to see gluten in potato chips and snacks but not as much in BBQ Sauce so I'm not surprised...
