I have to post this because I was so thankful to the manager at the Hard Rock Cafe in Philly. My 13 yr old son's class was planning a trip to philly and lunch at the hard rock and dinner at a food court. You can imagine my stress. I called the Hard rock and yes not much to choose from-the veggies ok, steak ok, but the loaded mashed potatoes-no good...

We have been to the Hard Rock NYC, Philly, Orlando and a few others I can't remember, for us it is always good. Expecially the NYC one, which is close to home for us. So far the Philly and NYC one were very accomodating.....yes no gluten free menu but the managers have been helpful and my son is able to eat. When going to restaurants, even w/ "gluten free...

I ended up buying a Zojirushi and love it, I did not want to take a chance w/ cc. I used a french bread mix, alot went uneating-since it is only my son, but I used the rest for bread crumbs for meatballs and they came out great!! thanks

Thanks! however how do I PM you? LOL

I have to say I made meatballs for the first time today- I used gluten-free bread crumbs I made from bread I made last week that my son really did not eat. (my bread machine is awesome!) They came out great!! I am planning on using the left over meatballs w/ gluten-free lasagna noodles and make lasagna for my son ( in italy they use meatballs instead of...

Is there any kind of small card that you can give to your server w/ a basic description of the problem (celiac disease) and how the food needs to be prepared (plain, no marinades, no contact w/ wheat, gluten products, or a surface where wheat, gluten had been ect) I am finding the servers mean well but like the game of telephone information is not presented...

We have eaten there 3 times since diagnosed and two times no problems at all and my son is thrilled- it is a favorite even before being dx w/ celiac disease. Then we went to a different location wed. eve- thurs he had a horrible headache followed by throwing up. We are not sure if it was Boston Market or something else- we ate at my sister's house for lunch...

Yikes the veggies I now have to worry about too!!! Just when I thought I was getting along pretty well w/ this! LOL

We went with my son a couple of weeks ago- he ordered off the gluten-free menu and had the potato soup, plain salad with NOTHING on it (they dont seem to get the croutons/breadstick/ and I don't trust the shredded cheese) and a plain hamburger patty. Of course they have the gluten free menu and my server had an aunt w/ celiac disease, I was so happy-but...

I have many pampered chef baking stones and use them all the time, my 12 yr old son was just diagnosed w/ celiac disease. Can I use parchment paper to cover the stone to prevent cc? Is that enough or do I have to "unseason" all my stones and "reseason" from scratch gluten-free? Today I made gluten-free meatballs (they came out great!!) -used the parchement...

One topic of interest that I have seen nothing on the message boards about-is has anyone noticed a difference in meat that they have eaten which should be safe? My BIL was told by his holistic dr. that beef/chicken ect that has been fed grains can contain gluten and cause reactions compared w/ grass-free range type meats/animals. My son is newly diagnosed...

Hi Paige's mom and everyone else- I just went through almost the same thing w/ my son. We thought it was a stomach virus, went on for two weeks, he lost 10 pounds and ended up in the er getting iv fluids due to dehydration. The er dr. sent us to the gi. I am still mad at my pediatrician for letting it go on so long and not just taking a blood test instead...

My son was just dx last friday, I have ripped apart my kitchen to make room for his food and special areas he knows are safe since we are just learning and I want him to have some independence. I took out my bread machine from ages ago thinking homemade had to be better than the gluten free-brick I just bought at the store saturday. Question #1. -even if...
