    i think cider is much better than gluten-free beer and it's much cheaper since you can get it at a lot of liquor stores (instead of shipping). hornsby's is the only cider that ISN'T gluten-free (at least last time i checked) that i know of. strongbow, cider jack, woodpecker, wood chuck, K are all gluten-free

    i don't think what lovegrov said was rude. there is a certain responsibility in posting, at least i think so, to not post that something is gluten-free or infer that it is without at least minimal checking (of course there are products that are "gluten free" that upon closer inspection aren't due to cross contamination, whether in a restaurant setting, or...

    a lot of places in ireland are super celiac friendly (or coeliac as they spell it out there). it's easy when you go food shopping cos foods are labeled "suitable for coeliacs" check out Fitzers, Temple Bar, Dublin - they actually have food suitable/adaptable for coeliacs on the regular menu !! they have awesome buffalo wings ! most restaurants i went...

    watch out for K. it's something like 7 % alcohol volume if i remember correctly, which is roughly double a beer. personally, i didn't like it much. i do LOVE strongbow but it's fairly difficult to find in the states. cider jack, woodchuck, woodpecker and magner's are good ciders. magners and cider jack a little less sweet than woodchuck and woodpecker, and...

    i have hormel pepperoni that actually has "gluten free" printed on it. i'm not sure if they do that with all their products though

    their pizza crusts are my favorite ever! and i loved their chocolate chip cookies too, that's all i've tried so far

    i also think a lawsuit is a bad idea. first off, it's a private restaurant - they can serve to choose whatever food they want. and since you were able to eat there anyway i'm not sure exactly what your lawsuit would be based on, just that they wouldn't allow you to precisely order what you wanted? i'm not trying to be mean or insensitive (after all, i have...

    i'm in law school, and recently have been studying the americans with disabilities act for a paper i'm writing. from what i've read while researching my topic (which does NOT have to do with celiac) problems with food do not constitute disabilities under the ADA, which means there is no entitlement to reasonable accommodations. the size of the accommodation...

    how long ago was that celiac3270 ? united used to offer gluten-free meals then they didn't for awhile, are they offering them again?

    i was there last summer, but i was staying with a friend on an american air base so i had shipped gluten-free food to him before i got there... but the little bit i did eat out, rice with scrambled eggs and ginger or you can go to one of those restaurants (i forget what they are called) where they searve you rice and meat raw and you cook the meat yourself...

    that's really cool, thank you!

    sorry if this is getting repetitive, so mccann's oats IS ok?? and flagbabyds, what is the brand name of the oats you use ? or do you get them at some kind of specialty store ? have they been tested for gluten? i'd love some oats

    i've found ireland and the UK are amazing as well! the best gluten-free bread i've ever had is in the UK (dietary specials breakfast rolls) the only gluten-free bread i've ever had that doesn't have to be toasted/warmed up to taste good. i believe ireland has the most celiacs per capita so a lot of people have heard of it there. and for the drinkers out...

    i'd like to go back to the original topic for a sec... i asked this question in another thread a while back and never got an answer: if every crumb does damage, etc. does that mean if you're young and have celiac you will ultimately suffer the consequences as though had eaten gluten ? inevitably we all accidentally consume gluten. i eat out on average...
  15. astyanax
    i'm not sure if this has been said or not, but isn't it true that so as long you adhere to a gluten-free diet your risk of pretty much everything becomes pretty much the same as a non-celiac? this is assuming you don't already have something before you're diagnosed as well. i just read an article the other day, through this site i'm pretty sure, that said...

    some of my gluten-free food is also vegan - i guess they are trying to appeal to a larger audience. so definitely seek that kind of stuff out. i think my sister in law who's vegan eats a lot of beans. i know nuts have some protein. brown rice. hmm try doing an internet search for like protein + vegan + gluten free or something. good luck ! report back...

    yeah i was surprised by the response to this thread too. i brought up awhile ago that i eat american food that's gluten free according to the euro standard (since usa doesn't have one) and i thought the response was predominantly: any gluten is too much (which i totally understand, i personally find it too difficult to avoid even 'gluten free' food and feel...

    2 things in this thread confusing me: 1. i thought bacon could contain gluten (the only i know of that does however is mcdonald's still i thought we shouldn't order it at restaurants unless they know it's gluten-free) if mcdonalds is the only one with gluten bacon i'll go back to ordering bacon at restaurants! 2. i thought sour cream was also sometimes...

    at this point for me, having had celiac for awhile, i still find out eating out to be the biggest challenge. it's especially embarassing in front of people i've just met. i rarely eat out (hey it saves money, so no great loss without some small gain!) but i definitely feel most comfortable at a place like outback or pf chang's. i feel bad cos i used to prefer...

    i got an extensive list from walgreens of their gluten-free meds and now i use only walgreens for over the counter meds cos it's soo easy just having 1 big list. i've had good luck with them!
  21. astyanax
    i probably would stay gluten-free just out of sheer paranoia haha but still it would be cool if you could just take a pill before awkward social situations like a business lunch or a wedding etc. so you didn't have to explain and worry about the food!
  22. astyanax
    why couldn't you just go inside and look at their menu ? i'm confused. honestly i wouldn't say anything bad about them. i actually always bring my own gluten-free menus cos for a long time(maybe still) theoutback near my house didn't have a copy of the gluten-free menu. this was a really great place to go to ! don't write them off.

    sometimes when i drink i get really red cheeks - i think it does happen more to asians but i've also noticed it in those of irish descent. i'm not sure exactly how bad your bf's is but mine is sort of just like ok well there's nothing i can do about it! if it's not too too bad you should look around - i bet there's other people at a party/etc. that have the...

    what kind of gluten-free bread do you use? i haven't found any in the states that doesn't need to be toasted first (although i found a great great kind in the UK that didn't! but it's hard/super expensive to ship to the states)
  25. astyanax
    ensure they say it's best chilled but i've found it's still pretty good at a cool room temp (like when i leave it in my locker at school, an area that stays pretty cool) that's a great way to get vitamins and fill you up with some calories!
