ARCHIVED Extreme Pizza Chain Delivers Gluten Free Pizzas
Michelle1234 replied to Michelle1234's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
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...

ARCHIVED When Did You Feel Comfortable With Restaurants?
Michelle1234 replied to jennifer47's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
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... -
ARCHIVED Extreme Pizza Chain Delivers Gluten Free Pizzas
Michelle1234 replied to Michelle1234's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
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... -
ARCHIVED Extreme Pizza Chain Delivers Gluten Free Pizzas
Michelle1234 replied to Michelle1234's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
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... -
ARCHIVED Question About Ice Cream
Michelle1234 replied to GFreeMO's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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 -
ARCHIVED When Did You Feel Comfortable With Restaurants?
Michelle1234 replied to jennifer47's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
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... -
ARCHIVED Extreme Pizza Chain Delivers Gluten Free Pizzas
Michelle1234 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
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 -
ARCHIVED Betty Crocker In Canada?
Michelle1234 replied to RideAllWays's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
ARCHIVED Enzymes?
Michelle1234 replied to blondie1985's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
ARCHIVED Snyders gluten-free Pretzels
Michelle1234 replied to Jestgar's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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! -
ARCHIVED Hot Cocoa, Cocoa Powder Question
Michelle1234 replied to GFreeMO's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
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. -
ARCHIVED Do You Expect Relatives To Cater To Your Gluten-Free Diet?
Michelle1234 replied to ljgs's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
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... -
ARCHIVED Pfchangs - New Gluten-Free Dessert!
Michelle1234 replied to CalicoSue's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
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 -
ARCHIVED Red Lobster Gluten Free Items
Michelle1234 replied to Ahorsesoul's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
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... -
ARCHIVED Udi's gluten-free Bagels And Severe Nausea?
Michelle1234 replied to missingpasta's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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 -
ARCHIVED Udi's gluten-free Bagels And Severe Nausea?
Michelle1234 replied to missingpasta's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
ARCHIVED Planing A Cruise Any Advice?
Michelle1234 replied to farmwife67's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
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... -
ARCHIVED Asked To Leave A Restaurant
Michelle1234 replied to i-geek's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
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... -
ARCHIVED Udis, Udis, And More Udis
Michelle1234 replied to buffettbride's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
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 -
ARCHIVED Advice On Cruising?
Michelle1234 replied to MagpieWrites's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
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... -
ARCHIVED gluten-free Dog Treats?
Michelle1234 replied to hsd1203's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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... -
ARCHIVED To China To Adopt Our Daughter
Michelle1234 replied to nw0528's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
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... -
ARCHIVED Ice Cream
Michelle1234 replied to OliveGrove's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
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 -
