    Part of the reason for the slight ambiguity in the Kraft statement is the litigious society we live in. Sue for anything. Go for the big bucks. For this reason, many companies will not say their products are gluten free, even when to the best of their knowledge they are.

    Anianna, this is great. Is it a separate web site I can save to favorites? Where can I find this great info when it rotates off this page?

    I admit it... I am a Udi's junkie. I guess after all this time (I've been gluten-free for almost five years) I don't really remember what real bread tastes like. I cut the end pieces into fourths and toast it slowly in the oven. Break it up for crutons, crush for bread crumbs or (my favorite) use as a base for appetizers. Try spreading the bread sticks with...

    Thanks, yall. I will definitely try tossing the Glutino ones with butter and salt. That sounds like it would work.

    I don't necessarily mean for snacking, although I do love them. I use several recipes that call for crushed Ritz Crackers, and nothing I have used seems to give a similar taste or texture. This is for topping casseroles, coating fritters etc.

    I don't mean this to be a political statement but.... everything I buy is going up. printing more money makes it worse. Isn't there something that can make things better????

    I just got back from New Orleans where I ate like a king...safely! Muriel's and American Sector Cafe (John Besh's place at WWII Museum) both have gluten free menus. K-Paul's, Maximo's and Irene's have servers that understand and can reccommend safe foods. My advice is to go to New Orleans and have a wonderful time.

    I have been gluten free for almost six years and Weight Watchers works perfectly for me. I have lost 28 pounds and have about 10 more to go. The diet is totally flexible and easy to substitute on. I don't get the part about no bread. My husband's regular bread is 1.5 pts per slice and Udi's whole grain is 2 pts per slice. That's not enough difference to...

    Has any one tried products from Silly Yak Bakery in Madison, Wisconson? I see that they ship, but the products are so expensive that I want to see what others think before I order. The foods sound very good, but sometimes it is hard to tell from an ad.

    A good bet would have been Chick-fil-a. Order the grilled chicken, slaw and waffle fries. The fries are done in a dedicated frier. Ihave never had a problem with this order. Be sure to ask (nicely) for them to change gloves and be really careful. They will take care of you.

    Sounds like a really good idea. Do you have any training in the nutrition field? They might have regulations that require that if you want to have input into the menu or recipes. I salute you for looking for solutions rather that moaning about your situation.

    What kind of peanut butter comes in a tube? Sounds like a cool idea; I've just never heard of it. My last glutening was my fault. I love Abe's Barbeque in Clarksdale,MS. Last time I had a chance to go, I thought I would be really smart. I took my own Udi's bun and ordered pulled pork and slaw. Standing at the counter to pay (after eating my delicious sandwhich...

    Hot dog on Udi's bun with homemade chili and slaw. Chili and slaw were leftovers, so it was a super easy lunch.

    A good way to sve it to buy in season. A little late for this year, but I always hit the farmer's market and buy in season vegetables and put them in the freezer. I have loads of green butter beans (known as limas outside the South), speckled butterbeans, purple hull peas, silver queen corn and peaches for this winter. Freezing is not hard to do and you can...

    Justlisa, I really appreciate your point of view. It is a hard lesson, but we all have to learn "It's not all about me". Of course there are jerks out there. Some people don't care for me because of my politics, some because of my personality, some for rreasons unknown to me. Cross them off and go on with the non-jerks. Oak trees may look strong, but a hard...

    In the good news column: Waffle House hashbrowns are gluten free. Just ask them to please use clean gloves when they fix your food. I have always found Waffle House people to be extremely cooperative.

    I use Cup4Cup and my old recipe. Works great.

    The over-use of antibiotics is a major cause in the development of untreatable infections due to mutation of bacteria. Try not to take antibiotics unless necessary (as with strep)and be sure to take the full prescibed course. Antibiotics are not preventative drugs.

    Just stumbled on this thread. I read constantly. I love Nevada Barr's books, especically the Anna Pigeon series. Have any of you read Greg Isles? Try his The Quiet Game and Turning Angel. For funny entertainment there is anything by Janet Evanovich, especially the numbered ones (One For the Money through Eighteen).

    I believe it all comes down to personal responsibility. No one but me is responsible for what I eat. I read all labels and make my decisions based on that. If a company doesn't accurately label their products, I just don't buy from them. I do not think most companies (or, really, any companies) are trying to poison us. They have a responsibility the their...

    Keep your mouth closed during spraying. You don't absorb gluten through your skin, only through your digestive system. The spray shouldn't cause any problems.

    ARCHIVED Jackson, Ms

    mbrookes posted a topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    Great news! Bravo, one of Jackson's very best restaurants, has always been gluten free friendly, but starting next week they will have a gluten free menu. I have eaten there several times and have had no problem, so I feel confident that they will be careful with the gluten-free menu items. Life gets better and better!!!
  23. mbrookes
    Wait a while. Everything gluten-free will taste better. I have been gluten-free for almost 6 years and I think Udi's is what bread tastes like. You really do forget, and that makes life much more pleasant.

    I love Whole O's made by Nature's Path. They taste just like Cheerios, but they don't get soggy as fast. Pile some fresh fruit on top (blueberries are my favorite)to increase nutrition.

    If your doctor reccommends B12 injections, ask about giving them to yourself. I shoot myself once a month and avoid the office visit fee and time consumption.
