I just made krispie treats last week for a Bunco night treat. Followed the basic recipe above, using gluten-free rice krispies. I also put in a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter (very scientific measurement, I know!) with the melting marshmallows and then a couple handfuls of chocolate chips in the final mixture. I'm the only Celiac out of 12 women and...

Has anyone been to this resort specifically? Or more generally, how about Mexico? Looking forward to authentic Mexican food and I'd think it'd be less contaminated, but maybe not. I'm going to email the resort to see about their gluten free menu items, but thought I'd also post here. Thanks for any info or tips!

I just logged into Yahoo and one of the top stories staring me in the face is on Celiac Disease! The link to the story is below. The quote I find most interesting... 'At Wal-Mart, "gluten-free" products are hitting the shelves this month. The retailing giant is requiring suppliers to identify whenever gluten is used in its private-label products, said...

I have a subscription to Fitness (although, as a completely unrelated side note...letting Fitness run out and now I'm getting the new Women's Health - much better magazine in my opinion.) Anyway, I was extremely happy to see the article on Celiac and was also impressed that all facts were correct. I emailed them a thank you. Hopefully we'll see other articles...

Chachie's clearly labels their salsa containers with 'gluten free'. Can't miss it as it's the only other wording on the top and front of the container besides their company name and the 'hotness' of the salsa. Just picked up a container of the mild last night (I'm a big wimp and don't like spicy food!), made gluten-free enchiladas with it and also had some...

Just wondering if there are any celiac disease friendly restaurants and grocery stores in and around the Denver area. My husband and I are considering moving there and will be visiting for a long wknd soon, then will decide about a permanent move. I live in the Chicago 'burbs now and the selection of restaurants and grocery stores that stock food I can...

Not sure if this is the right category for this, but last night, my husband and I were talking about how we want to donate our organs if we would unfortunately no longer need them. Morbid subject, but hey, it's a necessary one! He asked me if I'd be able to donate my intestines because of my celiac disease. I'm not even sure a person can donate their intestines...

I actually saw this the other night as well. Flipping channels at the gym (both the Cubs game and Olympics were on commercial break!) and actually passed the channel, but the line at the bottom caught my eye. Said something about the little girl couldn't have communion. Turned back and found the whole interview to be very accurate and compelling. Unfortunately...

Saw this in Sunday's Tribune...here's the link... Open Original Shared Link Michelle in IL

Thanks for the response, Kim! Yes, we will be at Paris for dinner. A couple years ago we were in Vegas at the Aladdin and the head chef there was extremely helpful, so I spose I'll just contact the chef at Paris. Just thought I'd post in case someone had been there very recently so I could have an idea of specific dishes. They probably change pretty often...

We'll be going to the Paris hotel buffet in Las Vegas this upcoming weekend as part of a wedding party/reception. I emailed the hotel this morning, but wondered if anyone had visited there recently? I also realize in general that buffets are not the best for Celiacs, but it's a part of the wedding reception, so it's not like I can't go. And I gotta believe...

I know there's a support group in Wheaton, but that's kinda a hike, especially on a weeknight. I also read there was a group that met monthly at the Soup to Nuts store in Geneva, but that they quit meeting. Anyone know of another in that area? Thanks! Michelle in IL
