ARCHIVED Restaurants In Durham, Nc?
astyanax replied to jnclelland's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
when i went there, i went to PF chang's, it was actually my first time at pf chang's! check out their website for the exact location, if i remember correctly it was close to Duke i should add.. i don't know about dairy or soy free there, but everytime i've been to a pf chang's they have been excellent about being gluten free and seem to have a good attitude... -
ARCHIVED Gluten-free Beer In Maryland?
astyanax replied to bmzob's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
i don't know about beer, but a lot of bars i've been to in the DC/Baltimore area have cider on tap - strongbow or magners are both gluten free -
i just moved to bethesda MD. there's a lot around here. in bethesda there's austin grill, a PF changs in north bethesda, legal sea foods in DC, and in the general DC/baltimore corridor there's outback and bonefish grille. there's cheeseburger in paradise in MD but i don't know where the towns are located. there's more locations of these restaurants than i...

ARCHIVED Amy's Has Changed Thier Labeling
astyanax replied to elonwy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
part of the problem might be that a company like amy's that is so understanding of allergy issues in general is more quick to change their food labeling. i bet their food overall is more gluten free than a lot of the "gluten free" food out there, since the US doesn't even have a standard and since the euro standard does allow a minimal amount of gluten -
i have been there both in NJ and in DC. each time i've gone i've gotten very good service. the manager comes out and serve you personally. they seem very serious about dietary problems and understand cross contamination issues. plus the food is fantastic! i recommend the calamari (they bread it with corn meal) and the lobster casserole, which has gluten free...

ARCHIVED Generic Claritin
astyanax replied to Corkdarrr's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
my local walgreens printed out an entire list of all their medications that are gluten free. i now get all my otc meds from them cos they've made it so easy -
ARCHIVED Best Gluten Free Food
astyanax replied to lapetit8's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
best waffles (better even than normal waffles!) is definitely trader joe's !! -
ARCHIVED Italian Restaurant W/gluten-free Menu
astyanax replied to debmidge's topic in Gluten-Free Restaurants
how was the food? what kind of stuff on the menu? i'm pretty close to there and i'm in newark every day -
just to warn, at the bottom of the taco bell link it says that the list is current as of march 1, 2005 so the list is over a year old! might not be accurate
-
i was just there a few weeks ago, my mom and i go every year. when you make reservations at a restaurant include that you are gluten free. we were also able to get gluten free food when we went to a restaurant (the brown derby in MGM) without a reservation (they even had gluten-free rolls!). i stayed at the grand floridian and their room service was...

ARCHIVED Ensure, What's Up?
astyanax replied to key's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
i have spoken on the phone with ensure about the oat fiber. they say that ensure tests below the level of "gluten free" in europe. since america does not have a standard, they used that standard. i personally am ok with the european standard and i actually drink about 4 cans of ensure a week without any problems. i also eat anything labeled gluten free when... -
ARCHIVED Bourbon Whiskey:
astyanax replied to jenvan's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
bushmill's is my favorite whiskey. is scotch not ok? i don't really drink it ever but i thought it was gluten-free for the same reasons whiskey is. -
ARCHIVED Pubix Supermarkets - Beware Of The Meat & Fish You Buy
astyanax replied to ms-sillyak-screwed's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
it does seem a little ridiculous they refer to them as 'wholesome' because clearly anyone concerned about the addition of these ingredients wouldn't view them as "wholesome" -
ARCHIVED What Are Foods That We Would Like?
astyanax replied to Neshy's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications

ARCHIVED Traveling To Europe
astyanax replied to GlutenFreeAl's topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
i'm backpacking in europe for 10 days beginning of march (so i can't really bring much food with me - no room!). first i'm going to edinburgh, i booked a hostel near a gluten-free pizza place! then i'm going to amsterdam ANY ADVICE WELCOME! i contacted their coeliac society and they gave advice for shopping at stores for food, but no restaurant advice and... -
ARCHIVED Ordering Gf Beer
astyanax replied to DoctorDave's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
the US doesn't have a gluten-free standard. i would be much more skeptical of something "gluten-free" in the US than I would in europe since at least there they are actually adhering to a standard. personally, I prefer american products that are voluntarily using the European standard. i just feel more comfortable having an actual standard than just... -
ARCHIVED Blue Cheese - Yes Or No
astyanax replied to IronedOut's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
recently outback took bleu cheese dressing off of their gluten-free list. i was pretty worried cos i used to eat it every time i went there and wasn't getting sick. i get ranch now, but i wonder if maybe they took it off the list cos of the bread thing ? -
eating at disney world is AMAZING! every restaurant will accommodate (just tell them gluten-free when making a reservation) and i've had great luck also when we just walked into a restaurant without a reservation. at the parks, the popcorn is gluten-free and sooo good! in magic kingdom, there's a stand in frontier land that sells only mcdonalds fries ...
-
outback is my favorite gluten-free restaurant. i never get sick eating there. tonight when i ordered my usual salad with bleu cheese dressing, they said that the bleu cheese dressing is not gluten-free anymore. whether it always wasn't or newly isn't i wasn't clear on, and they said it's cos it's made with wheat vinegar. first off i wanted to warn everyone...

there's an outback in rapid city, probably some other chains that have gluten-free menus too

ARCHIVED Gluten-free Cookies
astyanax replied to Rae's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
they are expensive, but happyhappyhappy.com (the bakery in NYC posted about in another thread) has gluten-free/DF cookies - i just ordered some they should arrive next week. it's like $25 for 18 cookies (!). my sister in law is vegan and just gave birth so i thought it'd be fun to surprise her with some, plus i can enjoy them too!! -
ARCHIVED Fiber
astyanax replied to mookie03's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
i'm in law school too ! i totally feel you on having to bring food with you and eating on the run. my caf at my school is buffet style so even if they had something gluten-free it'd be cross contaminated beyond hope. some good ways to get fiber are: making flax/psyllium seed waffles (they're pretty good and loaded with fiber) i got the recipe on here... -
ARCHIVED Tobacco Use
astyanax replied to Jenn2005's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
RIZLA rolling papers are gluten-free (i got them in europe, where everyone rolls cigs) i'm not sure if they're sold anywhere in the us though but maybe a tobacco shop would have them. i e-mailed the company and being from europe they are more familiar with celiac/gluten/etc and assured me all the papers are gluten-free
