I'm leery about the snickerdoodle and the cheesecake one...as those both typically have cookie elements to them and then they tell you to avoid the normal gluten (cookie) flavors!!

I've been gluten free for 6 1/2 years and I can't count how many times this has happened to me. One week, I was on a garlic bread kick...I had my Against the Grain bread, butter spread and McCormick's garlic bread powder....little did I know that had bread crumbs in it!!! Seasonings can be very tricky!! I hope you feel better

This thread is from 2005!!!! We need to be careful about what type of information that we stir up because it might not be valid anymore. For example, on a thread from last May it states:

"Per email: "We're happy to tell you-- all Tropicana products that are 100% juice are gluten free. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that gluten is not present in products that are less than 100% juice.

You can easily determine if a Tropicana product is 100% juice by looking for the Nutrition Facts Panel on the package; the percentage of juice is located just above that panel." Michael, Tropicana Consumer Response"

I've never gotten a hum, uh, hum, response when I've called asking about Chex...when I called, they actually were quite knowledgeable about what constitutes gluten free.

I've learned that its important on this site to look at dates and do your own reseach...not all information is correcT!

Normally when I hit Show new content, it shows all the new posts since the last time I"ve visited. NOw it just said no new content...is anyone else getting that?

I've never had a label on my PF Changs order, is this something recent?

do a google search and you'll find a ton. I liked Blue Ridge Grill, any whole foods is nice, Real Chow Baby is awesome, Rosebud, oh there are so many...you'll be confused as to which to choose!

I got the bisquick in Pawleys Island, SC at a Lowes Food store...I've seen some Hamburger Helpers that were gluten free, chicken fried rice and the Asian one...are their more?

You absolutely can trust it. Look up on their website for menus of places, or search gluten free. Many places have gluten free rolls for your sandwiches or burgers. You'll have to wait a long time for yours because they cook it separately and make sure you're taken care of. I've been multiple times and I work for Hershey and can honestly say that I trust the food in the park (per the website recommendation) whole heartedly. Obviously, be wary of fried foods that would share the same oil but I got a Turkey Burger in the water park and it was delicious.

I found it at Lowes Foods in Pawleys Island, SC

I subscribe but I'll be honest. I don't love it...its nice to have and I think its awesome to have our own magazine but the majority of the recipes in there are ridiculously hard, calling for like 15 different flours and stuff and I just don't have time or energy for that stuff. Some of the recipes seem awesome and then I read what all you have to do and just get frustrated. That being sad...I do like reading some articles and stuff and seeing the ads for the new products. I don't think you can go wrong with subscribing.

I take immodium for emergency purposes but not regularly. It can really cause more damage than good if you use it regularly...that's not to say I haven't had brutal weeks where I absolutely cannot miss work or have something scheduled and have taken immodium several days straight, which I don't recommend but sometimes life gets in the way and your celiac stomach doesn't want to cooperate!

There are a ton. Do a search on this site and a bazillion will pop up!

tons of us eat fruity and cocoa pebbles on this board with no bad reactions. I say go for it!

ok yay!! so I CAN eat the meal in my freezer. Thank goodness because their stuff is delicious!!

They do..but be aware, those packages of cookies have oats in them and a lot of celiacs can't have oats...myself being one of them. I was so excited that I bought the cookies without reading the ingredients properly They do sell fruit and nut bars that are gluten free and delish as well though!!

I do the white rice thing too...it absorbs all the stuff in your stomach and generally makes me feel better.

oh great. I have some of this in my freezer right now. I thought it said gluten free right on it...I'll have to check it out

This frustrates me a bit. If I had your symptoms or frustrations, I'd do everything in my power to change it so I felt better. I don't understand why people NEED a diagnosis...if changing your lifestyle and your diet helps YOU feel better, why would you care what a Dr. said? (disclaimer: that's spoken in this case only and Dr's are smart intelligent people who typically have your best interest in mind and should be listened to if you have serious illnesses ). Being on a gluten free diet really isn't that hard. You can have sandwiches, just find the best bread and make sure you toast it. Is it convenient? Hell no (can I say hell on this board? ) but it's not as hard as it seems.

I just said that sometimes it is in Baked version of chips. Wasn't specifically talking about a brand...just something to be aware of!

sometimes you have to be super careful with Baked products because they contain something that causes anal leakage.....seriously, it says it on the bag. So sometimes it might not be a gluten thing, it might just be an ohmygosh I ate too many thing. haha

I thought I was the only person who didn't like them.

nope...they taste like you're eating sand with a mixture of dirt and grass

Neither of my parents nor my brother have it, however, on my Dad's side of the family...my grandmother, aunt and cousin (female) all had or have severe stomach issues. My cousin (male)is a doctor and tested them all posted for celiac disease, however, they've chosen to ignore the testing and despite my pleas do not follow a gluten free diet. We're all Irish....if that helps

I don't think Cocoa Puffs were ever gluten-free. Perhaps you were thinking of Cocoa Pebbles!

Nope...I believe there was a time several years ago that Cocoa Puffs had changed their formula. I've been well aware for years about the pebbles.

ooo good to know about yaz. i've been on that now for a couple of years and did not research it yet. glad i won't have to switch!

My doctor told me that my reaction isn't a typical result of the pill. A lot of people lose weight on Yaz...however, a lot of people gain it as well. I don't know what the deal is with that but I'm still struggling to get the extra weight off.

I think about 4 years ago Trix and Cocoa Puffs "went" gluten free...however, many people got pretty sick from it and I don't know that it ever held. There were long lists of messages on this board about both products but the chatter has long calmed down. I tested them both out during this time period and felt gross after each so I haven't went back. I get my fix through Berry Berry Kix......hahah rhyme not intended
