    That sounds like a great idea!!! I am sort of tired of the blank stares when I tell the waiter or kitchen staff that my daughter can't eat gluten. If only more people would more aware of celiac disease, then life for those who eat gluten-free would be easier.

    Tica replied to heep70's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    "I can't imagine that it would be safe to eat ANYTHING that came out of a pizzaria if you were extremely sensitive to cross-contamination." I met with the owner of our local Garlic Jim's. He was VERY nice and knowledgeable reagrding CC. He gave me a tour of the premises. He showed me where they store and process their flour for the regular pizzas and...

    Yes, they are. It's actually a pita bread. I am more interested in finding out about the meat. Do real (not chain) greek rest have gluten in the gyro meat?

    I heard that "Pasha's" in Miami beach has a gluten-free menu. Other than that I was told the usual- ask the waiter, speak to the chef, steak houses are usually a good option, etc... If I come across more information I will keep you posted.

    Starbucks response: We heard that it was too much of a treat, and not a nutritious snack. The Open Original Shared Link bar is replacing it. And what do they consider their Frapuccinos with hazle nut syrup, whipped cream and milk, a healthy drink? I think that we can determine if we are in the mood for a healthy snack and eat the kindsnack or are...

    Hi everyone, Starbucks has decided to pull their new gluten-free Valencia orange cake. If you are interested and able to, please visit their website and send them a message. They need to know that we need products like this. They claim that it was not selling as well as they had expected. Maybe they should have advertised more and given the product more...

    Hi everyone. Does anyone have any experience traveling to Ireland on a gluten-free diet? I would like to plan a trip with my family and my 12 year old daughter has celiac. Thanks for your help. Tica

    I can tell you from personal experience that pediatricians, and doctors in general, are NOT very knowledgeable when it comes to breastfeeding. Your best bet is to find a lactation consultant (LC). Supplementing will lower your milk production even more. A lactation consultant will help you increase your milk production without having to resort to formula...

    You can try an herb by the name of Fenugreek. It increases milk supply. You can research it in Breastfeeding.com

    We have not found them here in Miami, Florida. I have spoken to several Publix Grocery managers and they all said that it was up to the distribution wharehouse to decide when the stores get them. So I emailed the Publix headquarters and asked them. I will post if and when I hear form them as to when the mixes will be available.

    We have a similar problem with our family. My 12 yo daughter has celiac and my mother in law just does not get it. She is always saying thing slike, "how can one small piece of cookie hurt for crying out loud? She looks fine to me - why can't she eat like everyone else?" My daughter is very patient and simply tells me that it's OK - b/c grandma just "doesn...

    We came back from Denver via Chicago and my daughter was able to get a salad in the airport. They have to-go pre-packaged salads at a Chili's in the airport terminal. But there were other vendors that sold salads to go too. If you are not sure of their dressing you can check on the Chili's website or bring along the Kraft dressings in small to-go packs...

    Betty Crocker is coming out with a gluten free line of baking mixes as part of their national distributioon this June!!!!!!!!! Contact your grocery store manager and request that they carry these items once they are in distribution.
  21. Tica
    Be sure to speka to the store manager where you shop. If there is a local celiac chapter or group involve them as advocates to call the store. Usually if the store sees that there is a demand for it, the will carry it.

    Carvel will actually make you a cake without the "crunchies", contact the company and speak to the individual mananger and they will help you out.

    ARCHIVED Mcdonald's?

    Tica replied to watkinson's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants

    From what I understand, the McDonald's and Wedny's fries are fried in the same oil as the breaded chicken and nuggets. Only BK uses a separate fryer for their breaded items. Chik-fil-a is the only place that will actually list their fries as gluten-free.
