    Those were my thoughts exactly in regard to GlutenEase. I am not going to willingly eat gluten just because. It may be, like said above, a way to keep from getting sick or sicker just in case something is accidentally consumed, but, I am not willing to put myself at risk. I never seemed to experience any of the weight loss or malnutrition issues due...

    Has anyone here tried GlutenEase? It really scares me to try it because I don't want to get sick! Also, at $30 it would be an expensive "experiment"! I use the dairy enzymes when I eat small amounts of butter or other dairy containing products, but, it does not work super well. Using lactose free items works much better than the pills. I have heard...

    I have looked on Applebee's website, but, cannot find any info on gluten at all. Can you tell me how to find this info? Thanks!

    I read on a related site that maltodextrin is a sugar, and is a polymer of glucose and is not related to malt but rather the sugar maltose so it is gluten free. Is this a correct statement, or do most or all of you here avoid all foods that list maltodextrin as an ingredient?

    Bob's Red Mill sells gluten-free all purpose flour, and I would think that you could use that or any number of flour blends that can be found when searching gluten-free recipes.

    Okay. I knew the gastric empty is not being used for celiac, it is being used to determine the extent of GERD and to see if the empty time is a factor. The same Dr. office (actually he is a D.O.) did a blood draw today after the gastric empty that is to be used to determine celiac. I was just wondering if by my being mostly gluten-free aside from not...

    Hello all. Been away from home this week and was at Denny's in Orlando, FL and was asking about the menu. I was surprised to find all of the steaks they serve are not safe for a gluten free diet. I was more surprised to find that RANCH DRESSING is not safe! This evening, I am back home and was eating at Ruby Tuesday's and found that their Ranch dressing...

    Actually, my MD did not call it gluten intolerance or Celiac. He suggested I may be allergic to bread. I still ate "breaded" things for awhile until I realized that I was still eating bread. I did my own research and concluded that gluten was possibly the problem instead of just bread. I have tried to be as gluten free as possible, but, three weeks...

    In 2003 I had surgery for GERD an hoped it was the cure for my heartburn AND my other symptoms which I later learned were gluten intolerance. I am again having problems with GERD and am seeing a GI dr. next week. My regular MD prepared me for being scoped, probably from both ends! Since I have never sought nor been given a diagnosis of Celiac, nor...

    But, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus! (especially if you have a 16 month old like me!)

    Thanks for all the great responses. My electricity went off on the 19th after a bad storm came on shortly late on the 20th, knocked out again on Friday morning and just came back this evening, so I have been out of the loop for awhile. I want to add one more thing. I am really sorry about posting in the wrong forum. I did not realize that this was...

    Paula Deen is a wonderful cook on The Food Network. Check out Paula's Home Cookin. She's in Savannah Georgia and cooks and sounds like it too! As far as going to school, don't know how that would work, but, I would really like to see some mainstream cooking program(s) aimed at Celiac's. Learning how to adapt recipes to ge gluten-free would be a great...

    Thanks! I don't know how I missed malt flavoring in the list on Corn Flakes because there are only like 4 or 5 things listed. What is even more interesting is the big bold type that usually lists allergens says: "Corn used in this product contains traces of soybeans" No mention of other allergens! I thought they were supposed to list allergens, and...

    I really goofed up and used crushed Kelloggs Corn Flakes as a coating for Oven Fried Chicken only to realize that they contain malt flavoring. I am really sick right now. I made the chicken Thursday, ate 2 leg quarters that day, 2 on Friday and 2 more on Saturday. So, I am really in a mess right now. I do have this question though. I found the following...

    I eat Cheetos and Fritos with NO problems. However, the Chili-Cheese Fritos are a NO-NO! I think they have blue cheese in them, but, in any case, those are off limits.

    This is great news!!!! I used to LOVE Trix! What is the purpose of wheat starch anyway? Maybe I am being selfish, but, I really wish there were not so many things that I and others like me cannot eat because of how they are made. Thanks!

    As far as zanthan gum and lots of other flour's, starches, baking stuff etc. is available for what I think are pretty good prices from Bob's Red Mill. I have ordered from them several times with much better prices than from Whole Foods and Green Earth Grocery.

    I have a related question. I have been lactose intolerant for awhile now. I never used to have any lactose or gluten problems. The problems with lactose started first. I have been doing my very best to stay completely off of gluten and have been doing very well unless I get it by mistake, like because some restaurant tells me something is fine and it...

    This is a great find for me. I have not been active here in awhile, been so busy doing ohter things.................. My wife and I are in what we hope are the final weeks waiting for what is called a referral from an orphanage in China. We are going to adopt a baby girl from there, and will be traveling, most likely around the beginning of December...

    I have been eating crackers from this package that was labeled as GLUTEN-FREE. Since discovering my intolerance to gluten, I have tried to find products that I can use to continue to enjoy some of the things I used to enjoy without the gluten. One of those items is crackers with my chili. (Not that it's important, but, I liked dipping Club Crackers into...

    Well, we booked thru Hotwire, and we booked just a couple of days ago for a cruise leaving tomorrow. We are cruising out of Orlando with Carnival Glory ship. Hotwire was supposed to let Carnival know that I need a gluten-free diet, and I was told that would not be a problem. I am going to make sure I see the Head Waiter to make sure that everything is...

    Actually, the gluten-free bread machine mix from Bob's Red Mill is delicious! My wife has used several products from there to make biscuits, doughnuts, and such, and other than being more dense than regular bread, it is really good. I have also run across several pre-packaged meals that you prepare at home with noodles and spices that are gluten-free...

    Okay, I am going to ask a hugh favor right here. It has only been this year that I found the full extent of what being gluten free means. I do get really discouraged somtimes because of what I am not allowed to eat. My 18 year old son likes to rub things in too and tease me. (Most of that is really in jest, but, some of it is just being a teenager...

    I just almost had a real problem with Denny's while traveling in Oklahoma City. I have eaten the Nachos without getting sick, but, last time, I got very ill. This time, I asked first, because we were traveling from St. Louis, MO to McAllen, TX. This is a 1200 mile trip, no time to be fighting a gluten attack! Anyway, I asked the waitress to check...

    I will have to add too that I am striving to avoid gluten all I possibly can. I am still learning what I can and cannot have. Sure, I crave Krispy Kreme's, but, I KNOW I cannot have that. The price that I pay for accidentally comsuming gluten is way worse than any amount of purposeful "fudging" would provide!
