    The manager IS the owner and the man who told me where he stood. I think what upset me is that I have been to many community events "in the backroom" where I held the meeting and only appetizers were ordered. He also never made a request of me to make sure to tell my guests to order dinner. He also never asked how many "I thought would order dinner" - so...

    Please bare with me...I just need to vent so I came here. I lead a Celiac Disease Support Group and had my meeting tonight at a trusted gluten free restaurant. I rotate my meetings at restuarant locations to 1)give exposure to restuarants who do a good job in preparing and serving gluten free options and 2)allows for participants to have something to...

    Legal Seafood. Legal Seafood. Legal Seafood. I travel to DC every other month and can not wait to eat at the Legal Seafood Restaurant in the Heart of DC ( I think on 7th street). Fabulous gluten-free menu. Breaded calamari with chick pea flour, Rice Rolls, breaded chick pea flour fish, etc. etc. etc. THe staff at the bar are fabulous.

    Make sure you call ahead. My first call to place an order was at the Garlick Jim's in Tacoma, WA. THey informed me that they were all out of Gluten Free Pizza. They could not keep it in fast enough - as soon as it arrived to their facility, it disappeared. He recommended Federal Way. I called ahead and ordered 3 different types of pizza. I quizzed him on...

    I also saw the article in the Tacoma paper about Garlic Jim's while visiting my brother and I immediately called in an order to the Tacoma store. The kid on the other end informed me - they were out and couldn't stock the gluten free pizza crust fast enough. He suggested Federal Way. I went out of my way on my trip home and order 3 different kinds to go....

    I travel to DC frequently and decided to do a quick local google search on good gluten free restaurants. Legal Seafood came out front and center! I sat at the bar with another celiac stranger (the word is getting out) and asked for a gluten free menu. It was four pages! I flipped out when it listed Clam chowder and chick pea flour breaded calamari. I didn...

    Prior to going gluten free, my biggest symptoms were not GI related but included: migraines, hand and feet numbing, dizziness, eyes blurring, and a feeling as if someone was pouring hot water on my legs. Almost immediately after going gluten free, my migraines went away, numbing reduced, eyes no longer blur, I am no longer dizzy, and there is no feeling...

    I too had such severe damage by the time I was diagnosed and was in a great deal of pain. Not to be discouraging, but it took me nearly 9 months to start feeling better when eating a salad or raw veggies. The best thing I did for myself was buy a Giant Soup Recipe Book from the sale rack of a local book store. Every Sunday I make a large pot of soup (replace...

    Extreme nausea. And my very first symptom. In fact, throwing up became daily habit. Sadly, when I was a college student I was accused of being bulimic by my roommates and worse by the campus doctor. I was a very broke college student and one who never went to the doctor, but I was so tired of getting sick all the time and finally made an appointment. I really...

    I am sure this topic has been addressed over and over but I may have missed it. I read that Blue Cheese and Rouqfort are not gluten free. However, when I read ingredients labels I often do not see gluten listed? Does it depend on the brand? If someone has some knowledge of whether some household brands are gluten free, I'd be so very grateful.

    I did a little more checking and found a pretty cool website listed below. It details some very interesting information on all types of alcohol (including vodka) and I learned some concerning things on one of my favorite hobbies, wine. I included the list of Potato vodkas that are recommended on this website ( Blue Ice, Teton Glacier, and Zodiac all distilled...

    Alcohol, specifically vodka and gin, was one of the first things I looked into after finding out I had Celiacs. Both are gluten free (compliments of the distilling process). I then confirmed it with our very good friends who so happen to partially own and operate Distilled Resources, Inc. (Drinc), a vodka distillery in S.E Idaho. They assured me alcohol...

    I went back to the store last night where I read the label on the Candy Hearts. The company is Mayfair. They do not list wheat as ingredients but they do clearly state that the candy is made in a facility that manufactures products containing wheat. Mayfair does not have a website that I could find, but I did find a list of other candy it produces which...
