To be honest, I get whatever's on sale at Whole Foods. They have a pretty wide selection, and their store brand (365) usually has decent-enough choices on both fronts. I'll take a peek in the pantry tomorrow and see if I can be more specific.

When I travel by air and will be staying in hotels, I always bring a checked duffel bag of food just in case. More often than not, I find myself relying on that bag for the majority of the trip. And as long as I eat my way through it, there's no return checked bag fee! I usually bring: - Serving-sized rice milks - Cereal - Thai Kitchen rice noodle...

Hello, all! It's been ages since I've been on this board. I'm going to be attending a conference at the Birmingham Convention Complex in August/September and am staying at the Sheraton that's next to it. I'm told that a) there's absolutely nothing in that area other than the complex and it's a somewhat sketchy place where you don't want to go walking...

Hi there! It's good to know that there's another restaurant in the area, but my meeting is at Food 101. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Can anyone suggest lower cost items there than the steaks, which seems to be the only suggestion anyone I've talked to has? I'm a low-income student on a strict budget and will be going there for a conference in a couple weeks. Should I be packing extra food to bring with me?

I'm going to be having a business dinner at Food 101 in South Hadley, Massachusetts (across from Mount Holyoke College) in about two weeks, and unfortunately they don't have a menu up on-line to give me any ideas in advance. I am hoping to find something that's also dairy-free and doesn't contain peppers, pork, or seafood. When I called, the person who...

For what it's worth, I've been using AmLactin at least once a day and it's amazing how well it's working. The redness hasn't gone away completely, but my arms are almost completely smooth now. I'm ecstatic.

Mine has lessened, but it still flares up in really cold and really warm weather. I've tried exfoliating a lot, but now I see that's one of the worst things you can do with it. Maybe that's why it hasn't gone away. I'm hoping one of the creams or lotions they make for it might help.

I know there have been some discussions about this in the past, but they seem kinda old (unless I'm overlooking something), so here's a new thread! I started getting itchy red bumps on my outer arms around the same time I started having celiac symptoms, and I didn't really make a connection between the two until I read this in the most recent Family Circle...

Haven't heard of that brand, but I think the only brand that Whole Foods carries is Food of Life. I've tried them and they taste okay, but you can't bend them even a little without them breaking right apart, so they're not very good for wraps. I like the price, though ($2.49 for six). I'd love to know if others can suggest good ready-made ones!

Wow, thank you for going out of your way and doing that! Unfortunately, red pepper is still a capsicum -- paprika is actually made from dried red pepper, so they're pretty much the same thing, just in different forms -- but it's awesome that you were willing to help out like that. I haven't seen "red pepper" listed as an ingredient for any sauces, just...

An e-mail from customer service confirms that all varieties of their barbecue sauce are safe. Of course, it turns out one of the ambiguous "spices" is paprika, meaning I can't have it...does anyone know of any gluten-free barbecue sauces without paprika? I've found several that are made without paprika but which are not gluten-free, so that doesn't help...

I did try the Bob's Red Mill oats since they were on sale at my local Ocean State Job Lot, but they made me horribly ill. I strongly, strongly suspect I have avenin reactions and am going to be checked for it later this month. The discussion on the LiveJournal celiac community seemed to confirm that a lot of people have reactions. So, go very carefully...

I had the same problem with my local Wendy's. It took literally 10 minutes to place the order, and they continually messed it up to the point that other customers were yelling at them for being "so stupid" as to not understand what was being asked. I won't return. It's a shame, because their fryer actually is dedicated, and I'd rather have their fries...

You must be looking at something else, because FiberSure is absolutely 100% gluten-free. Its only ingredient, listed or otherwise, is inulin, which is nothing more than vegetable fiber. The inulin used by FiberSure comes from chicory root. You can see Open Original Shared Link for more information. I have been using FiberSure now for about a month and...
