    What an honor. It's so great that that asked you to speak!

    Yep, I was not happy at all when dx'd. I still miss being able to go to any restaurant with my friends and sharing different dishes. Just the bonding of it. Oh well, not an option any more. I still get really anxious going to restaurants, so it's just not as enjoyable as it used to be. I go to the ones that have worked for me so far. The positive...

    Yay. So glad you had such a perfect dinner!

    Welcome to the forum! I live in Fountain Hills. I think Whole Foods has the best selection of gluten free foods. The Safeway near me carries some gluten free items as well. Also, I have a Health Food Store near me, Nature's Finest, that has a nice selection.

    I'm so sorry about the nausea. I had that too at first. I was never a breakfast eater even before being dx'd because of nausea. Anyway, at first I practically lived on Stonyfield Organic Yogurt, bananas, eggs and chicken. Nothing sat well in my stomach. I had to give up coffee which was really hard. Now, I can eat pretty normally, well no gluten of...

    Maybe it depends on the location as to what is gluten-free. The manager in Scottsdale told me all of the meat, including the sausage, were gluten-free except the chicken. We should always ask.

    Yum!

    I take Armour, but when I first started, I felt horrible on it. Was also taking a compounded T3. I had accelerated heart rate and anxiety. I had to reduce my dose by at least half. Some of us have to start on really low doses and increase slowly. I hope you are feeling better.

    I've also heard it could be because of the thyroid. If you decide to get checked, ask them to check the Free T4 and Free T3 instead of just a TSH. For me, my TSH was slightly elevated, but my T3 was really low and the T4 low as well. Some doctors will only check your TSH level which doesn't show the whole picture.

    Chrystal, I hope you like it as much as we did. We will definitely go back. Is there only one in Dallas? We were going to try to go to the one in Addison over Christmas, but ran out of time. Please let me know if you have a good experience there. The only thing I missed out on was the wine. I had to skip it since it doesn't always agree with me and...

    We went to Fogo de Chao in Scottsdale, AZ on Saturday for our anniversary and the whole experience was exceptional. First of all, you can eat almost everything. They put cheese bread on the table made with tapioca flour. So yummy, I took some home. You can have any of the meats except the chicken which is marinated in beer. This is a Brazilian steak...

    OK, I spelled the name of the restaurant wrong. It's Fogo de Chao. I just called them and they have a gluten free cheese bread. The person at the restaurant told me all of the meats are gluten-free except the chicken. It sounds like there are a lot of choices. I think we are going to try it out so I'll let y'all know how it is.
  13. Jenny (AZ via TX)
    Just wondering if anyone has been to one of these restaurants. I've heard that they do a gluten free bread. It is a Brazilian meat restaurant. We haven't been yet, but wanted to get some reviews if anyone has gone there. Thanks.

    I have been using the Better Batter Flour which seems to work really well in everything I have tried so far.
  15. Jenny (AZ via TX)
    I take a few different brands. It depends on what type of vitamins you are looking for. A few brands I use are Source Naturals, Vitamin Research Products, Bluebonnet, Freeda, Solgar. You still have to check the bottles to see if they are gluten-free, but I've been happy will these brands.

    I'm not a big breakfast person, but I try to eat something. I either have Stonyfield Organic yogurt and a banana or eggs and maybe a gluten-free muffin. It's easy and takes not time to make. I make pancakes from Pamela's on the weekend for hubby (a gluten eater) and me with maple syrup.

    Wenmin, I am originally from New Orleans, but grew up in Dallas. I tried different flours to make the roux and some of them did not turn out. The easiest way and the only way that has worked for me so far was to put Better Batter Flour and oil in the microwave. Easier than making the roux and stirring constantly in the pot. The problem I kept having...

    I made them with Cocoa Pebbles. Very yummy! Also served to Bunco group.

    My GI have me do a bone density test. I would ask your GI to check your vitamin levels, specifically B12 and D3 and also your ferritin levels. My GI also told me to go to a dietitian but to ask if they have patients with Celiac. She told me not to waste my time if they didn't have experience with celiac and that I would find more info on the internet....

    Lays chips, other than the STAX line, are not made on dedicated lines. The STAX chips are. If you go to the Lays website it lists their chips with this disclaimer. Many people eat the Mission Corn Tortilla chips without any problems. I eat them as well.

    I know that this must be extremely frustrating. Have you have your bloodwork checked again to see if your levels are better? That way, maybe you can rule out cross contamination. It seems that so many people have other food sensitivities that they didn't have before going gluten-free. I don't know what your symptoms are, but for me I had such fatigue...

    I just bought George's Aloe Juice. It has been mentioned on the forum before and people have said it tastes like water. Also it looks like water. When my stomach hurts I take extra probiotics, eat organic yogurt and bananas. For some reason yogurt and bananas seem to work for me. I'm so sorry you had to go through such pain and hope that you are...

    Thanks for the info. I never really thought about how each product would have a different lactose level. Unfortunately, I still need the lactaid. But, I'm so much better than before!

    I was really dehydrated when first dx'd. Before dx'd I remember going to the doctor for a sinus infection. She told me I was dehydrated. I told her it was impossible since I was drinking about 15 cups of water a day! Now I know why. I couldn't absorb it. I also had to urinate all the time. I am no longer dehydrated and I don't have to urinate so...

    Yea! I love when you can eat out and you have a great time and there are no after affects. I'm so glad you had a good dinner. I've had good luck with Outback as well.
