    quesadillas made with corn tortillas are yummy and kid friendly for appetizers, as are veggies and homemade dip. Dinner ideas: gluten-free lasagna (super easy and yummy), homemade chicke nuggets

    Read The Eater's Manifesto. It's an excellent read and talks about how "lipophobic" we are as a culture, and speculates as to why certain ethnic groups are so much healthier than we are.

    Enterolab is an at-home test kit (enterolab.com) where you send them your samples. that's around $150-- still not cheap, but probably not as much as the blood test, plus it's a ton more accurate.

    My view new posts button appears to have dissapeared, which is weirding me out a little bit, because that's how I navigate the site! Is this happening to everyone? Mods, do you know anything? Please tell me it isn't permanent!

    Rachelle is right...MSG in the US is fine gluten-wise, although it does make some people (celiac or otherwise) sick. However, McDonald's fries do have wheat, and they may be fried in the same fryer as the chicken nuggets, which is plenty to sicken a celiac.

    I haven't been since being gluten-free, but I just wanted to say that I loveeeeeeee montauk. I used to go there every summer until I was 14. The beaches are gorgeous and the people are so nice. Where are you staying? Actually, I suppose I can suggest a few restaurants with naturally gluten-free options. The Amagansett Farmer's Market has absolutely delicious...

    I work as a camp lifeguard/counselor, and today as a fourth of july treat we had ice cream sundaes. there were 3 flavors: vanilla, cookies and cream, and napolitan (sp? the kind with three flavors). Obviously the cookies and cream was out, so I went to go check the napolitan ingredients, feeling 85% sure it was safe. Well lo and behold, the ingredients listed...

    Try the turkey polska kielbasa (if you are willing to risk it). My mom doesn't eat red meat, and both of us have sensitive stomachs. We both have issues with garlic and onions and other foods with a high sulfur content, which sausage can sometimes have. I cannot eat regular sausage at all. The turkey version is less greasy and salty, and both my mom and I...

    mmm...so easy too! I hate it when recipes call for 5000 different flours that I never have on hand. These are easy to whip up a quick batch, as I always have at least one kind of gluten-free flour/baking mix, and all of the other ingredients are so simple!

    I was on it for a couple months back in winter. I called, it's not certified, but contains no gluten ingredients.

    eek! thanks for the warning... I love the Spanish language and central/south American cultures, and I have always wanted to do more traveling down there during college...now I'll make sure I come bien preparada

    generic ingredients like that cannot be wheat(in the US) unless it specifically states "Wheat starch" or "starch (from wheat" or "contains wheat" because wheat is a top 8 allergen that cannot be hidden in a label. I have never heard of barley, rye, or oat starch, but I suppose anything's possible.

    vomiting is uncommon but not unheard of with celiac. some other members have experienced something similar and may be better able to comment. does your son have any other symptoms? actually, though, just throwing in my (very long shot) 2 cents...I recently saw a discovery health program where a girl was throwing up once or twice a night in her sleep. she...

    As for the traveling part, don't be too nervous. I went to England in April, and the airport was no trouble at all. I brought some gluten-free crackers and breakfast bars (I think glutino should be ok for you) in big packages, as well as some dried cranberries (yummy and high energy) and then at the airport I bought some yogurt (fage, in its original package...

    Hey all! I'm from South Windsor, and the Manchester group doesn't meet regularly. However, for the Simsbury crowd, I grew up there, and my Dad still lives in Avon, so I'm over there a few times a week. If you do get a group together, that's be great!

    they can be cross-contaminated, and more sensitive celiacs may have trouble with them

    My brother (also celiac) has a chicken intolerance. It could simply be that.

    I would take the tuna out the morning of and put it in a tupperware with a couple squares from an ice mat. This way it will be pre-drained and not even considered a liquid

    I never knew that about Simmer! my stepsister used to work there, I should try it out! thanks

    people see gluten-free eating as a death sentence. stupid, right? they'd rather risk their lives and be in denial and be miserable than stop eating bread. yes, it's a pain sometimes, but it's beyond worth it. unfortunately, some people refuse to see that. if you told them, "you probably have celiac, you should get tested. all you have to do is take drug X...

    Schar- never heard of it Glutino- pretzels, crackers, cereal bars, bagels, Gluten-Free pantry baking mixes (fave. sandwich bread is amazing) Glutano- corn pasta and chocolate-o's (like oreos) Pamela's-chocolate cookies Ener-G- never tried it, but I haven't heard great things Barkat- never heard of it Gillian's-french rolls ...

    I've been called gluctose intolerant before too actually, I think soft serve ice cream is safer than ice cream at parlors that's in tubs with shared scoops and toppings all over the place! I tend to think of plain vanillia soft serve as a pretty safe bet if I "need" it

    Thanks! I live in Northern CT, I am SO there tomorrow morning!

    Whole foods is onbviously good, there two in west hartford, and I've been to the above store (it's actually owned by one of my former teachers who is also celiac! it's 10 minutes from me) and it's small but good. They have prepared gluten-free food that I haven't tried yet. Those are both 20 mins or so outside of hartfors, as are carraba's and outback. There...

    You have probably picked two of the most gluten-free-friendly places in the country. New York has tons of gluten-free restaurants, and health food stores. Unfortunately our labeling laws are a bit trickier. Only wheat is considered an allergen; rye, barley, and oats can be hidden under "natural flavors" or one of those other ambiguities. Basically, when reading...
