    I am more adventurous than most when it comes to eating out, and what I have found is that as long is you go to a place that has food that is gluten free already, is a sit down restaurant (so the waitress actually has to pretend to care), and the staff speaks English you should be fine. For instance, last night we passed up a couple of great Italian and Chinese...

    Nuts.. as in just plain nuts... are fine. Some of the flavoring makes them iffy. I also normally get fruit leathers (they have them at Target with another name like dried fruit strips), dried fruit, and cheese sticks.

    I believe that because of the health code they cannot allow outside food-- no matter what. It is your choice to enter their establishment, and you knew you couldn't eat there. Sorry

    Yep.. sorry

    ARCHIVED Brain Fog

    Eriella replied to AaronYoq's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    I fully understand your situation because I am in the exact same boat. The same symptoms, similar grades, same brain fog, same tight budget/high student loans. Right now I am cooking for myself for $30 a week, and I am eating well and I feel much better and my concentration improved ten fold. I went off gluten about 2 weeks before finals and all my symptoms...

    I go to Ursinus College., which requires a meal plan, and the options are just what ratio of set meals to flex money you want. They all cost the same amount. It isn't that the cafeteria staff isn't helpful, they have some really knowledgeable people in catering and are always willing to tell me what has gluten in it on the serving line. If I don't get...

    So on Monday I have doctors' appointments with my family doctor and my GI, and I need them to give me a diagnosis so I can opt of my college meal plan or have the school make me food I can eat. I have been symptomatic for 2 1/2 years (acne, constipation, brain fog, mood swings, fatigue, anemia, tooth aches, and charlie horses) and I have said for the past...

    So last night I was at the Trappe Tavern (about 45 minutes outside Philly in Montgomery County) and I found out that in addition to serving Hardcore Cider, they also are going to start serving Redbridge . So I finally get to go out to the bar and have beer with my friends! Also, if people go there, I didn't have any reaction to eating a bunless burger...

    I checked the inactive ingredient list ( Open Original Shared Link ) and nothing looks problematic. I would go the pharmacy, ask the pharmacist (not the technician who hands you the drugs) to also look over the ingredients, but it looks like it is safe. Good Luck!

    I am looking it up, but my advice is that it is better to be glutenated than go through an abortion later.

    He ended up canceling on us. He was going to take us to a Chinese buffet, so I am kind of happy I didn't go. Thanks!

    Hi, I am going out with my staff to either Applebees, Max & Erma's, or 99. I looked online, but none of them had a gluten free menu. Do you know of anything that is safe (and good) at any of these? Thanks!
  15. Eriella
    I would be highly surprised if you had a problem, especially with a doctor's note. I flew from NY to London right after the whole water bottle scare with more liquid medicines and inhalers than any one person should be prescribed (I was studying abroad and had pneumonia and my doctors needed to kill it so I wouldn't have to battle with socialized health care...

    Thanks so much for the suggestions. I wish I would have thought to email him sooner; however at this late hour he will not be checking his email before our final. Unfortunately this is not one of my school's personable or friendly professors, so I doubt that I would have had as good of luck as you did j-mommy, but worst case I'll just get a drink. Thanks...
  17. Eriella
    Hello, I really need some advice. My professor is trying to be nice and take us out to eat after our final tomorrow. This will be my first time eating out since going gluten-free and to make it difficult I have no idea where we will be going so I can try to figure out how to make ordering as painless as possible. Because there will only be 5 of us, not...

    There will be little to nothing for him to eat at a college buffet and the cc is a nightmare; however, you cannot bring in outside food. I would send him with both a lunch to eat before he gets there and then money so he can be part of the crowd and get ice cream or something. As far as a banquet, have fun. I had great luck last weekend at the one which...

    Hello, I am in the process of learning the hard way what I can and cannot eat. I have already discovered that the coffee shop at school does not have gluten-free flavored coffee , so I was planning on brewing it myself. Does anyone know if Archer Farms, the brand at Target, is gluten free? Thanks!

    Eriella replied to sugarlust's topic in Doctors

    Your symptoms sound a lot like mine. I am in the process of waiting for bloodwork to come back, but I found that I feel so much better now that I have changed my diet. Even though your life is easier with a diagnosis, I have decided that it is not worth feeling like crap for my doctors to believe me that it is "white bread" (the complaint I have had for ...

    I found the answer to my own question "Apparently, Jazzman
  22. Eriella
    I was wondering if anyone knew about Jazzman's coffee? It is a fairly new retail chain popping up on college campuses and I just had a hazelnut coffee and feel really funny. I can't find any information about it on their website or via google. Thanks!

    Congrats at finally getting your test results in! I would definitely test your daughters, as well as your siblings and parents, because the gene came from somewhere and can affect them. It is better to know than to be in the dark.
  24. Eriella
    I agree, the article can be both good and bad. The good news is that when my mother read it, she really understood why I thought gluten has been making me sick. The bad news was the line that blood tests only work in advance cases. Yeah... after 2 weeks of me begging for tests from my GI to confirm the diagnosis so I can have food to eat at school, that really...

    Was this the Maggiano's in King of Prussia? I have get to go there since I started showing symptoms, but from my past experiences I am sure that they would have been much more accommodating if you talked to the restaurant manager or the chief. If they are going to be that rude to your daughter and are unable to provide anything safe, then I won't go there...
