I will be going to st. John, USVI in a few weeks. Anyone been there? I will be renting a villa, and doing most of my own cooking, except for a few nights out. Any recommendations for gluten-free restaurants? I do plan on eating a lot of seafood. Also, anyone know if Starfish Market carries gluten-free foods? Any health food stores? or should I pack...

there arent any gluten free restaurants, to my knowledge, however, there is a good Steak & Seafood restaurant right in downtown lake placid that I have been able to find things to eat, and they have been very accommodating in the past. Unfortunately, we have to stay away from their micro brew!. Its a very busy restaurant, so like anyplace else, stay...

seems like other people have the same idea. I was looking into the Culinary Institute of America web page in Hyde Park, NY, and they are actually having a 1 or 2 day class on gluten-free cooking for the holidays. Its the first w/e in December of this year.....and it costs $160!!!! I'd love to take it but I have stuff going on that w/e....

Help! I have been doing very well since being on a gluten-free diet for the past 6 months! However, I'm still in a learning curve with some things. I read in one of my books to avoid blue cheese as the basis could be bread molds??? Is this true for ALL blue cheese? blue cheese dressing? I miss buffalo chicken wings and would make them myself, but wonder...

Hang in there bratcat, it IS overwhelming at first, but trust me, this message board really helps. I was diagnosed in May of this year, and after a week of tears, decided that ok...this WAS what I needed to do. Thank God, I have a wonderful family and friends that are helping me through this. Even my 11 year old son will read a label, and if he finds something...

This was kind of a tough one for me. Initially it was the emotions, I was devastated and cried a lot. Then my best friend said..."hey, you can still have steak, seafood, chocolate and wine! What else could you ask for?" I guess she had a good point. Then I bought the book Wheat Free Worry Free by Danna Korn, and it was AMAZING..really helped me with...

Same here Donna. However, from what I have read, Celiac Disease RECOGNITION is on the rise. Its possible that people in your family have had some of the symptoms, but never sought help from it. Also the incidence is 1/20 for brother/sister/parents, but 1/40 for aunt/uncle/grandparent. Because of this, you may be the only one (like me) who "got lucky"...

Hi everyone, I was browsing different web sites on gluten-free cooking, and one (I can't remember which) mentioned a downloadable database for the palm pilot. It contained a list of safe and unsafe additives (which would make it A LOT easier grocery shopping) rather than carrying around a big notebook, which is what I have been doing. Anyone know of any...
