    Forgive me if this is a silly question, but what happens after the first year? Do you have to make a new, full purchase every year?

    Thanks, Donna; we'll see!

    Hi All, New to this thread; ordering my second sample kit. Does anyone have their Spring Berries lip gloss, yet? Thanks, Beth

    I can sooooo relate to what you're saying. We went on a cruise in June, and while it was amazing and beautiful, it was hard to have every meal be stressful for me when for everyone else, food was a major part of the "relax and enjoy" factor. But, yeah, mostly I'm just tired of feeling crummy. I have major "monthly" issues, too, and between that and the...

    Argh! I am a major airhead today. The label actually just says Dutch Crunch Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips. Can't seem to edit my title, though. Anyway, does anybody eat these chips? For some reason I had it in my mind that they were safe except for the dairy, which I've been avoiding. Since I'm doing better with dairy, now, I grabbed a bag. Naturally...

    I wonder if it would help to make the dressing a day in advance, so at least those flavors have a chance to blend, then put the salad together the next day.

    It doesn't sound like DH to me, though I'm not expert. Sounds more like hives, though. If Benadryl makes them go away, that's what they are, I'm pretty sure.

    Amen to all of the above. Bread baking was my primary hobby for about 10 years before my diagnosis last fall, but I won't bring wheat flour into the house any more. After I went gluten-free I got sick just cleaning up my grain mill to give it away. Flour is just too hard to contain. I know it is maddening when your family doesn't understand, but I don...

    Hi all, We are just back from our first cruise. It was a fabulous experience in many respects, but the food situation was a bit disappointing. We were optimistic, having read reports of great cruise experiences, with knowledgeable dining staff helping people navigate menus and buffets. In our case, everyone was kind, but not necessarily knowledgeable...

    I had read through those threads, and found that most of the recommendations were either too far from our hotel (we won't have a car), or too far above budget for our large family. I'm glad I went back to double check, though, as I had missed one thing that looks like it will work. Thanks! Beth

    Hi folks, We are heading for Vancouver, BC next week to catch our Alaskan cruise ship. We'll be coming in the day before departure, and would appreciate any recommendations of places to eat near our hotel. We'll be staying at the Century Plaza on Burrard and Nelson. We are a family of six and are NOT looking for high-end dining. ;-) I've seen a list...

    Good thought, Julie. Thanks; I'll give it a try.

    <Bump> We'll be staying at the Century Plaza on Nelson and Burrard. Anyone??

    Hi folks, We are heading for Vancouver, BC next week to catch our Alaskan cruise ship. We'll be coming in the day before departure, and would appreciate any recommendations of places to stay/eat relatively near the port. We are a family of six and are NOT looking for high-end dining. ;-) I've seen a list that's been linked to, but there is too little...

    ARCHIVED Stinky Gas

    MNBeth replied to BRUMI1968's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    Cashews?? Cause gas??? I'm amazed at my own inability to sort my symptoms by dietary changes. Yes, I have had lots more smelly gas the last week or so. I thought it was eating more veggies, but I'm also almost halfway down the Costco jar of cashews! Sorry, family.

    I don't believe it is gluten free. Here's the ingredients list from the Kellogg's website. Ingredients MILLED CORN, RICE, BROWN SUGAR, SALT, MALT FLAVORING, BAKING SODA, ASCORBIC ACID (VITAMIN C), IRON, NIACINAMIDE, TURMERIC COLOR, ZINC OXIDE, PYRIDOXINE HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B6), RIBOFLAVIN (VITAMIN B2), THIAMIN HYDROCHLORIDE (VITAMIN B1), VITAMIN...

    I did go to their website and call, but they were closed, so I e-mailed. If they are so careful to disclose gluten in their ingredients, I wonder why the person who responded to my e-mail wasn't aware of it. Makes me nervous. On the other hand, I've always gotten prompt answers from Costco about Kirkland products. Guess it all depends on who you...

    Last week I found some Tyson Polish Kielbasa at Costco, and tried to find out whether it contained gluten. There was no phone # on the package, so I called Costco. ( From inside the Costco ;-) . Those are big stores and I was faaaar away from the customer service desk!) Anyway, they didn't know a thing about it. So I called my husband and had him check...

    I'd love to help, but "good" is such a relative term - what I think is really good, you might not like at all. I think if you could tell us what your favorites used to be as well as some new things you've tried and not liked, we'll be better able to make some relevant suggestions.

    I'm pretty new, too, but so far I like a combo of sorghum and millet, with some starches added, but not nearly as much as most recipes recommend. Here's my weird method: For about 3/4 of the flour called for I'll use roughly two parts sorghum to one part millet. For the last fourth I'll use some combination of tapioca, corn, and/or potato starches. ...

    ARCHIVED Dish To Pass

    MNBeth replied to Acersma's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease

    How about a big fruit salad? It's not exactly an inspired idea, but it usually gets eaten!

    For those of you in Minnesota, I just went to Rainbow (Coon Rapids) this morning, and they have the gluten-free Rice Chex at $2.89 for a 12.8 oz box PLUS you get $5.00 off if you buy five boxes. Which, of course, I did!!
  23. MNBeth
    Please forgive me if this is a stupid question, but she's not using the hand sanitizer instead of washing her hands, is she? If she had gluten on her hands, the sanitizer wouldn't take care of it. You probably knew that.
  24. MNBeth
    Yes, ma'am!! But watch carefully - gluteny ones are still VERY available. But the gluten-free ones say so right on the front of the box.
  25. MNBeth
    Good for you for push, push, pushing when you needed to! That can be so hard to do. I wasn't too good at that, and ultimately ordered tests for my son and I myself through Enterolab. Then, of course, I had to convince my other doctors that the test was valid, but being on the diet has been undeniable proof. I'm not feeling wonderful yet, but, boy, do...
