    I think its starbucks brand coffee beans. It does have hot chocolate too that comes out of the same place, but i imagine that would also be safe as long as its starbucks brand. The coffee mate is in those little liquid creamer cups.

    What's your take on office coffee machines? My job has two kinds, one of those pod/k-cup types with Gevalia coffee which I saw mixed info about when i searched on google so I will probably avoid. The other is a Starbucks brewing machine (i included an image i found from google) that actually has beans in the container on top. I'm wondering if this is safe...

    Oh and they hide the ingredients under the back label so it's not even easy to find.

    I just happened to look at the ingredients in a bottle of massage oil I picked up from Bath and Body Works and one of the ingredients is Triticum Vulgares (Wheat) Germ Oil! I can't believe that. I guess you can't buy any products and assume they're safe. What kind of jerk puts a top 10 allergen in a massage oil!

    I know this post is kind of old, but I was just reading about cheese in a magazine and some washed rind cheeses are actually washed with beer. Also sometimes bacteria is added to the rinds (I'm not sure if these bacteria also have a risk of being cultured on bread). So it seems like some of the artisanal cheeses that you wouldn't otherwise suspect, may actually...

    I live in Langhorne and I work in Newtown. There's a great natural food store down the street from where I work called Grape Vine. Kev

    Does anyone ever get cold night sweats? I feel like when it's really cold, I tend to ball up and cocoon myself with in the sheets to stay warm, but at some point in the night I must be overheating because I'll wake up and I'll be drenched in sweat. Mostly on my chest. Sometimes its so bad that I have to put a towel down afterwards because my sheets are sweaty...

    I've heard that bananas that are not ripe are not easily digestible. I think I saw that on Good Eats. Bananas seem to bother me too though.

    I've been gluten free for almost a year and a half, but I still have stomach symptoms. I was thinking about trying to eliminate casein, so I was just wondering what ingredients to look for and what foods to avoid. I did have a lactose intolerance blood test which was negative, so I don't think lactose itself is a problem. Thanks, Kevin

    I was a teenager myself only a couple years ago. I'm just saying unless they have experience with allergies, they have no idea what you're even talking about. I always bring my lunch just in case. Soeaking of horror stories, I went to UNO on vacation in FL, and they brought out my meal with a breadstick on it. Then the manager came over and told me...

    Really?! I've always been afraid to even attempt to go to a chinese restaurant because of all their sauces and because the language barrier makes it even more difficult. Chinese food is probably the thing I miss most. I go to P.F. Changs every now and then which is awesome, but that's the only time I can eat chinese. Maybe I'll try it one of these days. There...

    I just started a new job and every Monday they order take out for everyone. I know plenty of gluten free restaurants, but I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for gluten free take out. There are the usual places around here...Subway, Cosi's, pizza places, saladworks, local deli's, etc. there's actually a jule's thin crust nearby that makes gluten-free...

    ARCHIVED Emergency!

    ksb43 posted a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease

    Hey, I have a huge problem. I went to visit my friend who lives outside orlando, fl. He neglected to mention that his house was infested with roaches (and i'm not exagerating...they are EVERYWHERE)! I need to get out of here now, but I don't know where to go or what to do! I can't just go anywhere because I need to be able to get food or find restaurants...

    For t-Transglutaminase, the test I got had this on the results: Units - U/mL Negative: 0-3 Weak Positive: 4-10 Positive: >10 And my doctor said most people without celiac would below below 1. Mine was 14 and I was diagnosed with it (all the other antibody ones were negative and my biopsy didn't really show any damage). So what's the deal? Why...

    I went to GNC and I asked the staff. They weren't 100% sure so they called the company for me to find out and they told me that it's possible that it is produced on equipment that manufactures wheat and there is less than a 2% chance that it could be contaminated. I decided to go with Nutiva Hempshake which has less protein and calories, but says no gluten...
  17. ksb43
    Yeah I think it has to do with the extra amount you had to spend to get the gluten free versions of foods and it has to be over a certain percentage of your income. It sounds too complicated, so I haven't bothered.
  18. ksb43
    Thanks! I'll let you know what GNC says about it.

    I tried the hemp seeds and hemp shake from Nutiva (Open Original Shared Link). I would confirm with the company that its free of your allergens, because this was before I was on a gluten free diet. The ingredients look okay though. I got this from GNC and with their gold card discount, it wasn't that pricey. I made the recipe that they have on the amazon...

    Does anyone know if the GNC brand protein powders are gluten free. Specifically I'm thinking about getting: GNC Pro Performance

    I have heard of that diet and I was thinking about trying it, but I'm skinny and can't put weight on and I don't know if I could get enough calories that way. I'd have to eat like 60 pounds of fruits and veggies. I'm thinking of trying a variation of it, but I haven't had a chance to plan it out. Like eating mostly foods that don't have any weird ingredients...

    Woah. Calm down people. I wasn't accusing anybody of being a hypochondriac. I think you missed my message completely. I was accusing the sources of everything from internet articles to magazines to television commercials. Im saying there's tons of people out there with there own agendas (even if its not selling a product, people who believe in something...

    ARCHIVED Paleo Diet

    ksb43 replied to lisaemu's topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    I'd like to try this diet since I am gluten free but still having symptoms. I figure if I eat only unprocessed ingredients I can't possibly feel as bad. The only problem is I am skinny and it's impossible for me to put on any weight. I feel like being on this diet would make it even harder to gain weight and I can't really afford to lose weight. I eat...

    Its ridiculous, and there's so much junk you can read about out there that it can make you nuts. I wonder if a lot of symptoms can be in your head just because of how much information we're bombarded with. What you should eat, what you shouldn't eat, what supplements you should take, what medicines you should take, etc. Isn't it ridiculous that we see ads...
  25. ksb43
    Take a look at this one: Open Original Shared Link You never know with the internet how factual any of this stuff is (the article is pretty old too), but it sounds plausible. I have been avoiding gluten for 3 or 4 months and still not feeling great. Maybe I should try to avoid lectins. I never know how safe a diet like that would be though. I want to...
