    Do you know if you are a 'test market' or if they have rolled them out chain-wide? There was a post about 6 months ago, and I called my local Godfather's, but it was in the test markets only, so no gluten-free pizza for my dh.

    For a really easy crust, I use the Chebe mix for pizza crust. It makes a thin crust, and I don't think it would taste right as a thick crust, but having a crust that tasted like crust was important to my dh. Even though I'm still a gluten consumer, I like this crust. (Before anyone panics, I'm not the celiac, dh is, but we try to keep the house fairly gluten...

    If it's not too late, substitute about 3/4 cup of your flour mix for 3/4 cup of the oatmeal. This is assuming that your recipe uses about 2-3 cups of flour mix, adjust as necessary

    I don't know if you have either Trader Joe's or Whole Foods anywhere nearby, but they have many gluten-free items in the store. Also, since you said your SO like oatmeal, Bob's Red Mill makes a gluten-free hot cereal that is the only hot cereal I ever eaten (I'm not gluten-free, my dh is a celiac). For now, I'd try to keep his diet as simple as possible...

    Watch out for the celestial seasonings holiday teas!! A couple have barley in them, but at least CS will label their gluten-free teas as gluten-free right on the box.

    Are you feeding your kiddos anything grape or artificial grape flavored? Grape Kool-aid and grape juice can make the poop a green color, as can some of the other artificial colors. You might try switching to Apple based products and not deep purple artificial colored items for a couple of days.

    saraphym- Since you're in the KC metro, the Hyvee's here are great! If you go into the health market section while they're stocking and start talking to someone in the department, they will help with a lot of the new baking issues. Pamela's is available there (not sure about the price compared to the web), and most people who use it will just sub it...

    So I'm guessing I must be a bit of a country girl then, because I've never NOT know that 'white' flour had wheat in it. Of course, I'm in wheat growing land, so that may be the difference. When we got dh's diagnosis, I knew at once how many starchy foods we were going to be giving up. The things I screwed up on were the more hidden glutens, barley malt...

    OK, I'm at my local Hy-vee, grabbing the kinnickkinnick 'graham' crackers, which are labeled 'Smore-ables.' At the check out line, the checker is really looking at them, so I mention nice, wheat free graham crackers. At this point she mentions that she doesn't like wheat either, she likes white better. So, I go into teacher mode, and mention that white...

    Jaimepsalm63- My Aunt in Law (husband's aunt) attempted to have a Vegas nerve pacemaker installed to help with stomach issues (please forgive if I'm misnaming or misspelling the nerve, I'm trying to remember events from 6 years ago, and names of nerves aren't high on the remembering priority) Basically the doctor screwed up and SEVERED the nerve by accident...

    Sorry, I was so excited that the food was safe for my dh, I forgot to mention it was really good too! He had a fish dish (sorry, I can't remember which) and said it was really good. I had not gluten-free food, which was excellent! We shared ice cream for dessert, and drank water, and spent $50, with a 25% tip, so not bad for a nice meal out. We really...

    DH and I are on vacation in Oregon, and tried a restaurant in Lincoln City (about 2 hours south of Portland). Upon telling the server dh is gluten free, he immediately told us dh wouldn't be able to have either soup, one is veggie barley, and the chowder may have rue made with flour. Our server was wonderful, and kept leading us correctly, we had a great...

    Just me, I'd get rid of the wheat pack...it's WHEAT! Every time you jiggle it, it's shedding microscopic bits of gluten everywhere you lay it. It's in your microwave (I'm assuming that's how you heat it up), and all over your hands from touching it. You can make the same thing with rice in a sock, (or travel pillowcase, just no zipper) and then it can...

    I'll agree that it doesn't hurt, I've had the whole environmental series ran twice, but I found it incredible that both times they managed to get the allergens I'm most sensitive to right under where the bra's straps go. My allergist had a 'no itch' spray for after it was all said and done, and I took oral benedryl AFTER it was done (don't take before, it...

    This could be very difficult in a traditional day care center type environment. I worked in the field for over a decade, and the staff ignorance and turnover could make keeping your daughter gluten-free very difficult. Make sure that you provide all her diet, not just the gluten replacement items. The staff knowing they only feed her 'your' food will help...

    Boar's Head is safe too. My local Supermarket advertises it in their ads as Gluten Free. Just make sure they wash down the slicer, or you may have cross contamination issues

    Calcium can help too! There was a study back a while that said that calcium, a B complex and light exercise (walking) can help cramping as much as NSAIDS. Having said that, you might ask your doctor about an antispasmodic (pill for muscle spasms). They aren't a pain reliever at all, but literally stop the muscle cramping. DH (my household celiac) uses...

    There's a form or phone number to inform Carnival ahead of time of any food issues, it's on their web page, call and fill it out. The first night in the formal dinning room, make sure that your servers know, usually 2 people, and they will be your servers the entire cruse, so yippee, only 2 people to worry about. They did all the leg work for dh, and were...

    I've heard of children eating there safely, but I'd be concerned that with a large group of children's meals coming in, that the chance of cc would be really high. Call the store ahead of time and talk to them. If I remember right the hot dog was safe, but I haven't eaten at a Rain Forest since dh was diagnosed

    My dh is thrilled. He's fed them to non gluten-free friends, who really complained about some of my 'experiments' (garbanzo bean cake-bean, not flour) and they said they couldn't tell the multi-grain from a regular multi-grain cracker

    A lot of the European countries have what I've heard referred to as Codex A flours. They are wheat flours with the gluten removed somehow. They say that they're suitable for celiacs, but not for those that have wheat intolerance. From a board I follow in the UK, I've determined it all depends on ho sensitive you are. If the 'shared lines' products bother...

    Tums are NOT safe...I glutened the hubby before I realized. They state that they have starch (wheat). Stupid wheat starch!

    My local Great Harvest does the gluten-free baking (Kansas City Metro) They say that they put away all the gluten items and clean EVERYTHING before they bake gluten-free. They use separate pans and paddles and spoons. DH hasn't had any issues with their gluten-free baking. However, their 'scones' flatten out so much that I think they're cookies, dh eats...

    There's a crockpot blog that made a not brittle peanut brittle, she compares it to the middle of a payday. Dip in Chocolate, and ta dah, you'd have a Pay Day. They're not healthy, but the lady's doing a gluten-free crockpot item every day, so I'll cut her slack for some candy, besides, everyone says they're really yummy Open Original Shared Link
