  1. Just wanted to note that if your diet is not naturally fiber-rich, you can also use supplements, which is what my doctor recommends for me since I do have problems with maintaining a decent level of fiber. I mix a heaping teaspoon of FiberSure, which is nothing but inulin from chicory root and therefore gluten-free, into my dinner each night, and I also...
  2. I've also done really well with Pacific. The gravy is a little on the watery side -- which is understandable, since there's no wheat in it to thicken it up -- but you can always throw a "safe" grain in to do that, or just eat it as-is (which is what I do). My parents aren't gluten-free, but they always eat it with me without complaint. It's pretty good...
  3. I also use Mi-Del arrowroot cookies, though make sure you have two of the same animal to make sure they line up properly. I just did this the other night using some marshmallows heated up in the microwave (hey, I was bored!). On a related note: Since I'm still in the process of outgrowing a childhood chocolate allergy and don't always do well with...
  4. Some recent favorites: EnviroKidz cereals (all of them, except for peanut butter, which I don't know about since I'm allergic to peanuts) Mrs. Leeper's pasta Gluten-Free Pantry Sandwich Bread Mix Glutino Duo Mushroom Penne (frozen) Trader Joe's gluten-free ginger snaps
  5. I really like Trader Joe's and haven't had any issues myself. My only gripe is that they actually have a /lot/ of gluten-free products that simply aren't marked as gluten-free on the packages -- unless, of course, you read the ingredients. Hopefully, their new labelling system will deal with that. It will make shopping so much easier!
  6. My local Thai restaurant has been fantastic. They have a lot of gluten-free options on their menu and are always willing to modify things. In my experience, you just need to explain things carefully and you can be easily accommodated at most Asian restaurants -- in fact, they're always my preference over Western cuisine. Also, as some advice, it helps...
  7. I primarily unschooled for high school, but when I did do more traditional homeschooling, it was through the American School. I had a good experience and was able to complete their assignments very quickly. They have a good reputation and are one of the few secular correspondence schools, which is a lot easier for college admissions, so I'd look into them...
  8. I've never had an issue with them, though it's not like I eat them a lot. They're useful when I'm travelling, though, which is very frequently. I can always stop at McDonald's and get french fries, or go to Wendy's and get a baked potato with just sour cream and chives.
  9. First of all, I'm new here and totally confused, so apologies if I do anything incorrectly! I found some two old threads (2005 and 2006) which stated that Pacific Foods All-Natural Mushroom Gravy isn't gluten-free. I just wanted to clarify that it definitely is, because it no longer contains wheat fiber like it used to. The current ingredients are...
