    I don't think they make their own dough on site as I saw no evidence of that when I was in there. I agree with you that if there was flour flying around then it couldn't possibly be safe. However, having had 6 pizzas with no reaction I'm a happy camper.

    I just tried out Smiling Moose Deli who makes gluten-free sandwiches, salads, and soups. I couldn't hardly believe I could get a good gluten-free sandwich at a real deli without getting cross contamination. But I did! I had a wonderful sandwich, didn't take my digestive enzymes and had no reaction. Their on-line menu shows which sandwiches can be ordered...

    Make sure you really grill your Jason's Deli. The one near me is clueless. They make their gluten free meals with the ingredients from the food bar. So you've gotten gluten free ingredients in plastic bins right next to or in front of gluten ingredients. They grab everything with their hand so things can drop from one little bin into another. In many places...

    Haven't tried those two yet. My two favorites have been Peace in the Middle East (love the hummus for sauce) and Green with Envy (yummy pesto sauce). I thought Paia Pie and Drag it Through the Garden were bland. But Pandora's Box was yummy. For my taste their tomato sauce is a bit bland but if you order a combination that includes oregano and basil it makes...

    I don't know how long they have been doing gluten free but I too was impressed with the one in Denver/Westminster. The shop has been there quite some time and when they opened they did not do gluten free. One day I just happened to be waiting for my husband nearby so while I waited I strolled down the street. I saw the big gluten free pizza sign in the window...

    I also got glutened a number of times at first. Then I switched to Haagen-Dazs and have had great luck with them. From their FAQ: Is H

    I got comfortable with a certain set of restaurants. The best were the small locally owned ethinic places that make their own recipes from fresh ingredients and don't have things shipped in pre-made. Also you have to get a sense from any restaurant whether they are comfortable offering a gluten free meal. If they aren't no biggie, just try someplace else...

    Check to see if this place delivers in your area. I couldn't believe I finally had a location near me that delivered gluten free pizzas! Their premade combos are hit or miss in terms of taste but I've found a few that are to die for! And I haven't tried them all yet. Open Original Shared Link

    I'm sorry I can't help with your question but I just bought the Betty Crocker mixes tonight and made the banana bread with the yellow cake mix Open Original Shared Link and the grass hopper bars with the devils food cake mix Open Original Shared Link which I modified a bit more toward the cake recipe on the box. Wow! They were so easy to make and...

    I can't debate the science of it but here is my experience. When I was diagnosed I didn't have any known gluten symptoms beyond chest pains. I immediately attempted to eliminate all gluten from my diet. Like most others I wasn't successful at 100% reduction because I still was getting cross contaminated at home, getting glutened from shampoo and other products...

    Thank for posting about these. I hadn't heard of them. Found some at my local grocery store and they were fabulous! Nice to have a mainstream more affordable product!

    I successfully use Hershey's cocoa in my hot chocolate with no problems. A little cocoa, sugar and milk or water makes the most delicious hot cocoa! I think since the cocoa isn't being processed into anything it doesn't get the cross contamination that could happen if it were going on equipment that processes wheat.

    I think your relatives sound terrific! Consider the following: Unknowingly they are doing the right thing. It is extremely hard to figure out what is really gluten free and what isn't. You can't always go by what the package says as often something is processed on a line that also processes wheat and you get a reaction any ways. By them asking you to send...

    This is good to know! I think they give free deserts on your birthday. But usually not for us gluten free people since I think it was only the mini-desert. Now they have something for us too! I love PF Changs. Michelle

    I've had their cheesecake. It is crustless and gluten free. For the main meal I had their grilled chicken, broccoli and mashed potatoes. It was a nice meal and no glutening. I think they cooked the chicken in a separate pan. I've eaten at two different Red Lobsters and had great success at both. Both times the servers checked everything carefully with the...

    I'll take a look at them. It is so hit or miss with gluten free products. I've tried a few brands but don't remember which ones didn't make the cut. Thanks for the suggestion! Michelle

    My mom and I got sick every time we ate Udi's. At first I thought it was because when they converted to a gluten free bakery, they did not clean the equipment/environment enough. I got sick every time I ate their bread. Periodically I would try it again (every 6 mths or so) figuring that eventually everything would be cleaned out. They are a dedicated facility...

    I've done Princess and Celebrity Equinox gluten free. Good experiences on both. You do need to notify them in advance. They pick an experienced waiter for you so you will have a minimum of problems and the ship knows to have gluten free supplies on hand. In terms of things to bring. Bring enough snacks for all your on-shore activities. Finding a gluten...

    I have traveled all over the world and will offer the best advice I can. This situation is not the restaurants doing. It is all on you. As a celiac you need to have a few bars in your purse to carry you along so you don't get into a desperate situation looking for food. The restaurant did the right thing in telling you they could not accommodate you. In...

    I just tried a new place in Denver this weekend for gluten free crepes. They were delicious! We had two meal crepes and two desert crepes. Here is a link to their menu. Open Original Shared Link Cheers! Michelle

    First, do you know which cruise line? I believe most cruise lines do pretty good with gluten free these days. But you do have to be careful, use your honed celiac sense and ask questions. Also get Glutenease or some other gluten digestive enzyme and take it with every meal to help with cross contamination. When in doubt don't eat it. Ask questions about the...

    Real Meat dog treats say Gluten Free right on the bag. They are semi-soft. Open Original Shared Link They also have a new air dried dog food that is a great size for treating. Open Original Shared Link I get them both at my local boutique (not chain) pet store. The ingredients of both are extremely high quality. Worth taking a look. Have fun with...

    Congratulations on your upcoming adoption. I have traveled around the world gluten free. I'm not sure if you are sensitive to MSG but it is hard to get away from in China. Through the use of my gluten digestive enzymes and Kind bars, prepackaged nuts from the US and crispy rice bars from the US to back me up when I wasn't 100% sure that I was being understood...

    I got glutened from a number of brands until I switched to Hagen Daz. I'm sure there are a number of brands that are OK but to be safe I only go with Hagen Daz and then only flavors on their gluten free list (which most obvious ones are). Cheers! Michelle
