  1. Wow. I hope y'all realize how lucky you are. I live in Jackson, the capital of Mississippi and although I dearly love MS and would not want to live anywhere else, we are a tad late on the "newest". We have wonderful restaurants, and most of them can feed me with no trouble. Unfortunately, Redbridge is about it for beer. (Yuck!!!!!) I have become a wine and cocktail drinker, but I would love to have access to a gluten-free beer that actually tastes like beer.

  2. Thanks, Cyclinglady. I do fine with regular vodka… in fact I'm having a vodka-diet tonic right now. I guess I am drawn to the cool copper cups, but I just wanted to try a Moscow Mule. Our regular bar knows me and my health issues and they take real good care of me. The work "beer" had me spooked. I used to be a bad beer snob, but Celiac has cured me of that.

  3. What's the deal with Gluten Free Mall? Every topic I clicked on said "no products available". This, combined with Amazon's new stuff (pay extra for A. Prime  Pantry. Most of Amazon's gluten-free foods are not on prime or you have to buy a year's supply.) If I sound frustrated, it's because I am. The Whole Foods in my town carries very little gluten-free food and my only other choice is Kroger. Kroger is slowly but surely cutting back on gluten-free products. Any online sites I don't know about?

  4. LilyR, thank goodness bourbon is gluten free. Feel free to have a mint julep, Manhattan, or a plain old bourbon and water (my favorite, with a squeeze of lemon). The mint used in drinks is usually spearmint or peppermint. You may have one of the hybrid mints like lemon balm, lime mint or even chocolate mint.

    Before diagnosis I was a dedicated beer drinker. In fact, that's about all I drank. I have not found a gluten free beer that I think is really good, except a couple that are way too expensive.

  5. Unless a person is really super sensitive, this should not be a problem.Many foods that say "gluten free" on the label also produce gluten containing foods on the same equipment. If it is thoroughly cleaned between runs, there is not a problem. One reason many gluten free foods do not list that on the label is that the law requires frequent testing to show the gluten is below 20 parts per million. This gets to be very expensive for the company. I have used these products a lot with no reaction at all, and I am pretty sensitive.

    I hope you don't mind. I posted your question over at the Delphi Celiac forum. I will collect a few responses and bring then back over to this forum and post them for you. I'm too new at this but there are some women over there that regularly convert recipes, hopefully one of them will come through for you.

    What is Delphi Celiac forum? Where can I find it? I am always on the look-out for new resources.
