  1. I recently went on a long-awaited trip to Portugal and Spain. The tour company and guide informed hotel kitchens that I need a strict gluten-free diet, but there were several occasions when we were eating out on our own. I did take translated celiac information cards and presented them to waiters. I took Gliadin-X before nearly every meal. The one and only...
  2. I recently traveled to Spain and Portugal. I was with a tour group, they knew I needed to be gluten-free and made sure the kitchens preparing the group meals were aware. But just in case, I took Gliadin-X with me and took it for every evening meal - and most other meals. The one time I got glutened was from lunch early in the trip - had to be from cross-contamination...
  3. We just got back from Spain. I ate a lot of tortilla espanola and pimientos de padron! I also enjoyed patatas bravas (potatoes with a spicy paprika sauce) after confirming no gluten. And many, many ensalada mixtas! These salads can be a great lunch option - a huge mixed green salad with vegetables (carrot, tomato, asparagus and maybe corn), tuna and boiled...
  4. These look great! I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"
  5. When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact...
  6. I have been OK with Costco rotisserie chicken. Not OK with rotisserie chicken from some other stores in my area like Fresh Market and Food Lion. I am very sensitive to cross-contamination.
  7. I have ordered Domino’s pizza twice since diagnosis about 5 years ago. First time, I was OK. Second (and last) time, I was glutened badly. Never again! Cross-contamination is real - and I believe a serious problem with Domino’s.
  8. No problems (that I know of) to cellulose, but I have found that I have a "glutened" response to products containing inulin. Another thing to check for on labels!
  9. I got glutened at a McDonald's last summer (in the US), although I didn't eat any gluten-containing items. I had a cheeseburger minus bun with lettuce, tomato and onion, along with a strawberry-banana smoothie. Symptoms set in about 3 hours later (typical for me). Pretty sure it was due to cross-contact - I have no other food sensitivities. I did say "gluten...
  10. Cape Cod potato chips are gluten-free, according to the company. I've never had a problem with these.
  11. I don't react to corn in general. I think it was cross-contact in manufacturing that got me. But if I do find that I have problems with gluten-free grits, I will see corn elimination in my diet will solve the issues.
  12. Quaker corn grits are not certified gluten-free! These may, in fact, be contaminated by cross-contact in the manufacturing process. I have been following a strict gluten-free diet for about 3 years, with varying results depending on cross-contact issues. My celiac testing was inconclusive - and I wasn't willing to go back on gluten long enough for a full...
  13. I like Jovial brown rice pasta. I regularly use Jovial lasagna and tagliatelle noodles. Don't know why this wasn't on the list.
