    It is my personal opinion that a "Buffet" is actually another way to say "Cross-Contamination Guaranteed". My daughter has not had good luck at all with buffets and as a rule, we stay away from them if at all possible. Even salad bars have been dangerous for her, she is very sensitive. Use your own judgement, but take a look at how messy people are at...

    Finally made it to Starbucks -- took my daughter, she had the gluten free cake, and I had blueberry coffeecake (full of gluten). I tried hers and actually thought it was better than mine.

    The local store carries Wilderness Brand Cherry Pie Filling. I can't find any ingredient information on their website, does anyone know if this is safe to use? Penny

    Thank you for the answer, I didn't know I couldn't do that. I just wasn't sure which thread would give better help, since it was a question for restaurants and I'm travelling somewhere I have never been.

    I posted a question about restaurants in downtown Columbus, posted it to the restaruant section and to the travel section. I can only find it on the travel section.

    I'm headed to Columbus in June with a dozen teenagers for a youth convention. One of our group is Celiac. Our motel is 20 minutes away by shuttle. The plans are to eat at convention center for noon meal and eat out for the evening meal. Due to time restraints need places to eat within 15 minute walk of convention center. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

    Have used Benadryl Elixer, Ultra Tabs, & Dye Free Gel Caps - after some discussion with "Johnson & Johnson" on whether they are gluten free. I haven't had a problem with them. Just wondering if anyone uses or has information on the Allergy & Sinus Headache product. Thanks - Penny

    My family votes "Anne's" the best, followed by Pamelas. Both are easy in bread machine. Anne's works great for toast, bread and sandwiches. Like Pamelas better if using for French Toast. Also for a quick and easy rolls. Kinnikinnick makes a bread & bun mix, just add liquid, mix and bake. I use it for making hamburger buns and dinner rolls. For...

    My daughter uses "Rexall Naturals" Ultimate Probitotic Formula from Walmart. Comes in a Purple bottle. We checked with the manufacturer and it is Gluten Free. She is extremely sensitive and has been taking it for over a year without problems. Penny

    Thanks for the info. I'm planning to take meals for most of the time, but thought it might be nice to try a place that we don't have near home. Penny

    I'm taking my daughter (16 yrs old) to Mayo Clinic to see if we can get a better handle on things, we are doing well with the gluten-free diet, but wonder if she has some other allergies, intolerances, or completely different problems that haven't been diagnosed. They say we could be there for 4 to 6 days, while they complete all the tests. Does anyone...

    I agree with all the others that commercial gluten free breads leave alot to be desired. I remember the first loaf we tried, I thought we were eating styrofoam. We now use Kinnikinnick Bread and Bun Mix. Very Easy, Just add milk or milk substitute to the mix and blend for two minutes, pour in pan and bake. I purchased mini bread loaf pans and reduced...

    My daughter had some similar symptoms, we found out she had a bacteria overgrowth in the intestines, it didn't show up on any of the initial tests. She went on antibiotic for 10 days and then heavy doses of probiotics for three weeks. Now she is down to normal doses of probiotics and feeling good again.

    Leslie - Don't be concerned, I'm not suggesting that you discontinue use. When I talked to the company, they couldn't tell me with 100% accuracy that it was gluten free. I have a feeling I didn't get high enough up the ladder to a person with enough knowledge. The Lady with Celiac that I talked to says she has talked with people from the Celiac Sprue...

    My daughter (age 16) has Celiac - dx March 2006. We have been on a strict gluten-free diet. She does very well on gluten-free diet, for the most part, she is highly sensitive so we seldom eat out. Her main problems are, poor immune system, low energy levels, low stamina levels (for keeping up with all the activities of HS). We have been looking...

    We've had 4 different sets of blood tests in the last 2 months and everything comes back normal. Penny

    This is my first post, but I have been monitoring this message board for about a year and have found it very helpful. My 15 year old daughter was diagnosed with Celiac March 2006. Positive Intestinal scope and positive blood tests. She has been on a gluten-free diet since the diagnosis. She tries to be very careful with her diet, as she is very sensitive...
